Learn the Clock vs Telling Time

Drag the hands with your finger and learn to read a clock. The app asks for a time, such as "Set the clock to 7:30." You grab the hour hand and the minute hand and move them. The time is set the moment you lift your finger. Getting it wrong does not end anything. The first miss tells you which hand is off. The second miss moves the hands to the right place and shows you. NINE KINDS OF QUESTION Read o'clock / half past / 5 min steps / 1 min steps Calculate minutes later / minutes earlier / time passed Notation AM and PM / 24-hour They are arranged from easiest to hardest, but you can start anywhere. Nothing is locked behind finishing something else. ANALOG AND DIGITAL AT THE SAME TIME Choose Clock, Digits, or Both. The digital display is a split-flap board, the kind where the top half falls to reveal the next number. Pick Both and the digits move as you move the hands, so "short hand between 7 and 8, long hand on 9" and "7:45" become the same thing. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Drag the hands. The time is set when you lift your finger - One-minute precision - The hour rolls over when the minute hand passes 12, like a real clock - A missed hand lights up in orange - Switch between English and Japanese - Turn the music and sound effects on or off - Your display and language choices are remembered for next time FREE, WITH NO IN-APP PURCHASES Every question is free. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions, and nothing is locked behind a paywall. ABOUT THE ADS A banner sits at the very bottom of the screen. It is kept clear of the clock face and the Done button, and it never interrupts a question. Ad content is limited to the general audience (G) rating.

Move the hands with a finger and learn to read a clock. There is no advertising. ■ Two rings, counted differently A clock face carries two rings. The blue ring counts 1 to 12. The red ring counts 0 to 59. This app draws both of them, and gives each hand the color of the ring it reads. The blue hand reads the blue ring. The red hand reads the red ring. Nothing has to be converted in your head — no "it points at 8, so it means 40". ■ Five courses, in any order 1. O'clock 2. Thirty minutes 3. Every five minutes 4. Every minute 5. Clock maths Nothing is locked behind finishing the course before it. Every course has both "Look and Answer" and "Turn the Hands". Before the courses there is "Have a go" — two rooms holding just the short hand, and just the long hand. No questions, and nothing to get wrong. ■ What this app will not do ・It never marks an answer wrong. No crosses, and nothing taken away. Try as often as you like ・There is no time limit ・There is no advertising, and no price is ever shown on the child's screen ・Anything that leaves the app, and anything to buy, sits behind a grown-up gate Finish a round and your child gets a sticker. Fill a card and the picture hidden underneath comes into view. ■ Answers can be read in your own voice Reading aloud uses the device voice. Record a handful of short words, and those parts are spoken in your voice instead. There is no need to record them all before it starts working — each one takes effect as soon as it is made. Recordings stay on the device and are never sent anywhere. ■ Eight languages Japanese, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. The language of the child's screen is chosen in Settings. ■ What is free, and what is not "Have a go" and the first two courses are free. One purchase, once, opens the other three courses, recording a parent's voice, and the record of what your child can already read. There is nothing to pay every month. ■ Sound Music: Momijiba Music (https://music.storyinvention.com/) Sound effects: Soundeffect Lab (https://soundeffect-lab.info/)
