Happy Place vs Rusty

Happy Place is a calm, colourful and safe learning app designed especially for children — including children on the autism spectrum, with sensory processing differences, or who simply learn differently. Every part of Happy Place has been carefully designed to feel gentle, encouraging and fun. There are no time pressures, no loud surprises and no scary content — just a happy, safe space for your child to learn and grow. EDU GAMES Three skill levels so every child can learn at their own pace. - Beginner (Ages 3-5): Colour sorting, counting, animal sounds, shape matching and more — big pictures, no reading required. - Medium (Ages 5-6): Maths, pattern finding, true or false, missing words and rhyming games for early readers. - Expert (Ages 6-8): Times tables, harder maths, geography quiz, word chains, analogies and reasoning challenges. FUN GAMES A collection of child-safe games including puzzles, colouring, cooking, matching and adventure games — perfect for free play and relaxation. LEARN 28 beautifully illustrated flashcard topics — Sight Words, Numbers, Shapes, Colours, Animals, Planets, Dinosaurs, Oceans, Space, Insects, Sports, Seasons, Fairy Tales, Cooking, Science, Art, Community and more. Each topic has 10 illustrated cards with simple sentences, and every card can be read aloud at the tap of a button. VIDEOS A curated collection of calm, educational videos — handpicked to be soothing and age-appropriate. CALM CORNER A quiet space for when children need a moment. Includes breathing bubbles, a mood spinner, relaxing sounds and calming activities to help children regulate their emotions. REWARDS A star-based reward system that parents can customise. Children earn stars by learning and playing, then redeem them for real-world rewards — a special treat, extra screen time, a trip to the park or a new toy. LEVEL SYSTEM Children unlock 8 exciting levels as they earn stars — from Seedling all the way to Legend. Levels never go down, even when rewards are redeemed. FOR PARENTS A built-in Parents section explains the thinking behind every feature. A separate Parents Dashboard lets carers track progress — games played, videos watched, topics explored and stars earned. DESIGNED WITH CARE - No adverts - No in-app purchases - No links to social media - Calm colours and gentle sounds throughout - Works on iPhone and iPad - Progress saved across devices with a free account Happy Place was built with love for neurodivergent children and their families. We hope it becomes a place your child looks forward to visiting every day.

Build a reading and math practice routine with Rusty, a voice-first AI learning companion for families with learners ages 4-12. Short guided lessons pair spoken prompts with hands-on activities. Practice foundational skills, ask questions out loud, and give parents a clearer view of completed learning. READING, PHONICS AND WORD PLAY Practice letter sounds, sight words, word building, vocabulary, shared reading, sequencing and retelling. Read-aloud activities offer conservative feedback; Rusty does not claim to grade pronunciation or diagnose a reading level. MATH YOU CAN SEE AND TRY Explore counting, number paths, addition, subtraction, make-ten strategies, place value, patterns, arrays and groups through visual, tappable activities. GUIDED VOICE LEARNING Hear a prompt, try an answer, use a hint and take the next step. Rusty combines voice guidance with activity-based practice. Live voice requires an internet connection and parent setup. Activity-only practice remains available when voice time runs out. PARENTS STAY INVOLVED Adults create the account and manage learner profiles, goals, preferences and voice access. Parent controls and progress summaries help families follow practice grounded in completed activities. Children do not create their own accounts. START WITH FREE PRACTICE A parent account is required. Free includes one learner and a limited weekly voice allowance. Optional Premium and Family subscriptions provide additional voice access; Family supports up to four learner profiles. Current prices, allowances and renewal terms are shown in the app before purchase. CLEAR DATA BOUNDARIES Live voice lessons require the applicable parent notices and consent. Voice is processed to deliver the lesson. Rusty does not store raw lesson audio or full conversation transcripts. See the Privacy Policy for details on data use, parent controls and deletion. Rusty's current library covers a focused set of foundational reading and math skills, not a full curriculum for every age. Rusty is a practice companion, not a school, diagnostic assessment, or replacement for a teacher or specialist.
