Dino Kids Learn
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dino Kids is an all-in-one learning app for children from age 3: drawing, coloring, handwriting, phonics, math and times tables, piano, stories, English, Japanese with kanji, Korean and Chinese — free, no ads, no in-app purchases, and it works offline. WHY IT IS FREE Dino Kids is what Digi Dinos Joint Stock Company gives back to the community, not a source of revenue. We want every family to have one more way to teach a child without weighing up the cost, and parents to have more time to play and learn beside them. No subscription, nothing to buy inside, no advertising and no third-party analytics — so no child's data is being sold either. Every lesson is open the first time a child taps it; Digi Dinos carries the cost.

No account needed: every lesson works without one, offline too after the first download. An account only carries data between devices. Touch targets fit a 3-year-old's finger, and a child never scores zero stars — what is not yet done is an outline, not a red X. If it helps in your house, tell another family — that is how something built for the community reaches more children.
Their First ABCs
Read full descriptionHide full description
Their First ABCs is a calm, playful alphabet app made for children ages 2 to 5. Every letter from A to Z is available on one welcoming screen, so children can explore at their own pace. Tap any letter to meet its capital and lowercase forms, hear its name and a common sound, and see a familiar picture-word connection. Then three simple activities flow one into the next: find the capital and lowercase letters, find a named object from two large pictures, and explore more familiar words. The app uses large, clear letters, gentle illustrated artwork, friendly spoken guidance, and forgiving interactions designed for little hands. There are no scores, timers, streaks, reward currency, failure screens, or lesson menus. No reading is required to start. Children can replay sounds, tap any card, go back at any time, or return to the alphabet whenever they are ready. Everything is included. There are no ads, in-app purchases, subscriptions, accounts, saved progress, analytics, tracking, or data collection. Core play and all learning audio work offline.
