TicTali
Read full descriptionHide full description
TicTali is a visual time and routine tool for parents, caregivers and educators. An adult configures and controls the experience, then shows its clear pictures and gentle animations to young children to help them understand what is happening now, what comes next and how time passes. RIGHT NOW Place today's activities on a moving time scale. Overlapping activities remain visible, while the sky, sunlight, moon, clouds, rain and snow reflect the time and weather in the selected area. The adult can use an approximate area or choose the weather location manually on a map. VISUAL TIMERS Choose a duration and turn waiting into something children can see. Stars, hearts, balls, bubbles, fairies, teddies, funny monsters, cars and unicorns can fill or disappear as time passes. Other scenes include flowering trees, falling leaves, water, mosaics, a rainbow landscape, a multicolour ring, a friendly bomb, a flood, digital and mechanical stopwatches, and an hourglass. The adult can choose whether to show digital time, play a sound, vibrate, continue the timer in the background or send a local notification when it ends. ROUTINES Plan everyday activities by weekday, date and time. Use the included illustrations or create a custom activity with a picture from the device. Personal pictures remain privately on the device and TicTali never uploads them to a server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chantables at none against TicTali's shown. Chantables also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). TicTali's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
