For ages 1½ to 4 · iPhone and iPad
Tap a picture and hear its name in a slow, warm voice. Find the cat among three photos. That is the whole app: two gentle games, no ads, no account, and nothing your child does leaves the device.
Free to start. No account needed.
Both games come from the free browser version parents already play with their children, rebuilt for the phone and the iPad with bigger pictures, offline play and a view for parents.
What your child does: taps any picture in a grid of animals, foods, things that go, shapes, numbers and colours. A soft chime plays, the picture grows a little, and a warm recorded voice says its name. Tap again and it says it again. There is no wrong tap.
What you see: nine categories and 223 pictures, which words were tapped most, and nothing that flashes or counts down.
What your child does: hears “Where is the cat?” and sees three photos. A right tap earns a star and a cheerful “Good job!”. A wrong one gets a gentle “That’s not it, try again” and the question once more. No timer pressure and no score.
What you see: six categories and 198 photos, which words your child finds easily and which ones are still new.
Every picture is a large tile. A whole-hand slap counts as one tap, and a resting palm is ignored.
The game answers the moment a finger lands, not when it lifts, so it feels immediate to a two-year-old.
No countdowns, no popping confetti, no music under the voice. One thing at a time, at a slow pace.
Pictures and a voice carry the whole game. Words appear only as a small label next to the picture that was tapped.
Every name and question is a recording spoken slowly and clearly, the way you would say it to a toddler.
All pictures and voices ship inside the app. It works on a plane, in the car, and anywhere there is no signal.
Sweet Learners is built for Apple’s Kids Category and the rules that come with it.
Details in the privacy policy.
Look, ask, wait, tell. The game shows a real thing, says it in a sentence and then on its own, and leaves room for your child to answer first. Speech is slow and warm, with nothing playing underneath it. Nothing is timed and nothing is scored. The best version of every game is the one you play together, sitting next to your child and repeating the words.
