Mitoo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tired of toddler meltdowns? Mitoo is a visual time perception and positive reinforcement system for pre-readers. Kids "see" time via visual effects and transformations, collecting badges upon completion to reach family agreements! Say goodbye to nagging! [ MITOO’S CORE EXPERIENCE ] • Visuals Tailored for Pre-Readers: Compared to abstract numbers, visual changes help toddlers better perceive time. We designed intuitive dual-visual feedback: continuous background effects paired with a central character’s magical 5-stage transformation. Kids experience a stress-free countdown they can actually understand, effectively easing transition struggles. • 8 Premium Richly Textured Scenes: Includes 2 free and 6 Pro scenes. From lively to relaxing, the toy-like, high-fidelity graphics and matching ambient sounds help soothe emotions and boost task cooperation. • Badge Gallery & Family Agreements: Every completed countdown unlocks a visual achievement badge for kids to collect! The app serves as a visual record to support parents in structuring their own off-screen rewards (like a park trip). Once a milestone is reached, parents can easily remove the agreed number of badges to celebrate and start the next goal. (Note: Rewards are provided by parents). • Seamless Multi-Device Experience: Enjoy an immersive portrait view on your iPhone, or adaptive layouts on your iPad. Mitoo fully supports Live Activities and Dynamic Island, so you can easily keep an eye on the timer even when the app is in the background. [ SAFE & AD-FREE: PEACE OF MIND ] • Parent Gate: Areas intended for parents, such as settings and in-app purchases, are secured by a math question to prevent accidental access by kids. • Privacy & No Data Collection: Badge progress syncs safely via your private Apple iCloud. No ads, no tracking. [ QUICK TIP ] If you disable iCloud access in settings, synced badges will temporarily hide (showing 0). Re-enabling it will automatically restore and merge them with your new local badges. • Flexible Options (Free & Pro): Get unlimited access to core features and 2 beautifully crafted scenes completely for free. If you and your child want more variety, a single in-app purchase unlocks Mitoo Pro, giving you 6 additional scenes (for a total of 8 full scenes). Absolutely no hidden subscriptions.
