Bloomling vs Sobo Math

Bloomling is one warm little garden with three things inside: 11 logic puzzles made by the developer, a set of fully offline learning activities, and a walled-garden web area you control - only the pages you hand-pick can open, and everything else is gently blocked. HAND-MADE LOGIC PUZZLES (NO ADS, NO SIGN-IN) • Slide Puzzle, Ball Sort, Tower of Hanoi, Pipe Flow, Shape Bridge, Push the Boxes, Car Trip, Rolling King, Matchstick Math, Smart Squares, Marble Run • 50-120 levels each, from gentle to tricky, every one machine-verified to be solvable; Easy mode hints the next move and every move can be taken back • They train spatial reasoning, cause and effect, debugging and number sense - not reaction speed • One card per game, ready to play; no in-app purchases inside the games, no lucky draws, no timers BUILT-IN LEARNING ACTIVITIES (OFFLINE, NO NETWORK NEEDED) • Math Tutor: generates arithmetic questions and reads them aloud; answer by voice or by tapping. Voice is recognized entirely on-device - audio is never uploaded or stored • Story Machine: original bundled stories, narrated entirely with on-device speech • Read-Along: follow along sentence by sentence, in English and Chinese All three sit right at the top of the home screen the moment the app opens - no setup required. THE WALLED-GARDEN WEB AREA • Strict allow-list: only the exact URLs you add will open - even other pages on the same domain stay blocked (the one exception is the developer's own Puzzle Garden, where the child can move between games and tap Back) • No search box, no address bar, no outbound links - tapping anything outside your list just shows "Ask a grown-up for this page" • YouTube videos and playlists, and single Instagram posts: embedded in a locked, distraction-free view you can't navigate out of • Parent settings behind a gate: adding / editing / deleting / reordering sites requires solving a multiplication problem, or entering a 4-digit passcode you set • Adding a card is quick: paste a URL and see a green check (tap it to preview), a red cross or a duplicate warning right away; the card name can be filled in from the page title or typed by hand TOOLS FOR PARENTS • Groups: sort web cards into groups you name; each group is its own section on the home screen, and the order of the sections (including Today's Activities) can be rearranged by drag and drop • Per-weekday scheduling: choose which days of the week each card and activity appears • Usage review: see which pages were opened and for how long, by day, week or month - stored only on the device • Clear browsing data: wipe the cache and website data left by the web area in one tap • Cross-device setup: configure on another device, then send it over via AirDrop or the same Wi-Fi - no Apple account, no cloud • Export the list as a plain-text file (.md), edit and group it on a Mac with any editor, then import it back • Text editor: the whole web list as one page of text - copy it all as a backup, or paste a list and save • One app for iPhone and iPad YOU CAN RELAX • 100% ad-free • No third-party analytics, ad, or tracking SDKs (all Apple-native) • Collects no personal data; all settings and records stay only on your device • Every feature costs nothing and there is no paywall; the only purchase is an optional tip jar in the grown-ups area, and it unlocks nothing Offline learning activities, plus one little garden you trust - explore with peace of mind.

Your child may not be “bad at maths”—they may be using an app built for another curriculum. Sobo Math follows Hong Kong EDB Key Stage 2 (Primary 4–6): 41 units and 231 stages on one clear map. This is an independent app, not an official EDB product. Why families choose us • Mapped to HK P4–P6: number, measures, shape, data, algebra • 4,900+ questions with interactive visuals and step-by-step help (not every item has a diagram) • Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English text; Cantonese, Mandarin, and English read-aloud—script and voice can be set separately • Daily path, quests, and streaks • Sobo grows with practice XP (no pay-to-skip evolution) • Parent report: all weak-skill names free; one-tap practice on the first gap • Offline lessons, no third-party ads, no account Free includes every unit in order (daily energy limits how fast; later units unlock after earlier ones). Mock exam: 10 questions untimed. PRO: skip-ahead, unlimited energy, timed mocks (20–35 questions by year), unlimited adaptive review, full parent shortcuts and export. Practice papers here are school-style drills, not official TSA or school exam papers. Start free. Yearly plan may include a trial for eligible new subscribers (App Store terms). Subscriptions: Monthly HK$78 / Yearly HK$588 (~HK$49/mo). Auto-renews; cancel in Apple ID settings. Privacy: https://sisiyeung1126-max.github.io/math-games-ios/privacy.html
