Learn to read through an adventure full of magic, play, and discovery. In ABC Dragons, your child joins Drako, a little dragon who needs help to save his family and his entire village. A mysterious spell has turned everyone into magical eggs… and only the power of letters can bring them back to life. Each letter opens the door to a new world. Through vibrant, richly detailed environments —the farm, the workshop, the school, the restaurant, and many more— children can explore freely, interact, combine objects, and create their own stories. As they play, they naturally become familiar with letters, their sounds, and their first words. What you’ll find in ABC Dragons: • Letter recognition (uppercase and lowercase) • Visual tracing of each letter • Formation of simple words • Dynamic attention and discrimination games (flying and collecting letters) • Image-to-word association All seamlessly integrated into the gameplay experience. As children interact with the environment, a magical progress bar fills up, unlocking new challenges with the current letter. Once completed, the egg hatches… revealing a new character to play with in the scene. A world full of possibilities: • Open-ended sandbox-style play, where everything invites exploration • Mini goals within each scenario (planting, building, cooking…) • Character editor to create unique dragons • Drawing mode to color and express creativity • Calm and accessible pace for young children Designed for children aged 3 to 6, ABC Dragons supports learning while respecting their curiosity, their rhythm, and their way of discovering the world. Letters become play. Words start to make sense. And every small step feels like a magical achievement.

MathPet

MathPet turns daily math practice into a joyful adventure for kids ages 4-7. Your child adopts a virtual pet that grows alongside their math skills — every problem solved earns XP, hatches eggs, and unlocks new accessories. ADOPT YOUR PET Choose from 4 species: Dragon, Cat, Bunny, or Unicorn. Watch your pet hatch from an egg, grow into a baby, then evolve into a fully-grown companion. Pets react with happy, neutral, sad, or sleepy moods based on play time. SMART ADAPTIVE LEARNING Our Elo-based engine adjusts difficulty in real time across 7 problem types: addition, subtraction, missing number, comparison, counting, number bonds, and patterns. No frustration, no boredom — always the right challenge. EARN STARS, UNLOCK REWARDS Solve problems to collect stars. Spend them in the shop on 14+ accessories for your pet — hats, outfits, masks, capes. Try the daily mystery box for surprise rewards. Build streaks for bonus stars. PARENT DASHBOARD Track your child's progress with the parent area. See accuracy, streak, weekly goals, and skill level per problem type. The parental gate (a quick multiplication question) keeps kids out of subscription and account screens. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
