Common questions
What is Trace & Find?+
A learning app for ages 3–6. Your child picks a world they love (animals, vehicles, dinosaurs, space and more), then learns inside it: trace letters A→Z, count numbers 1→20, and play letter-sound games. Every creature comes alive when they finger-paint it.
Is it really free? Any ads?+
It’s free, with everything unlocked. No ads, no pop-ups, no tracking, no data collection. A future update may add an optional paid subscription handled by Apple, but the version you have stays as it is.
How does my child play?+
On the home screen tap a game (Letters, Numbers, or Sounds), pick a world, then choose a letter or number. Trace it with a finger — wobbles are fine, there’s no failure — and the creature reacts. Tap the speaker to hear the sound again as many times as they like.
How do I change settings or see progress?+
Tap “Grown-ups” and solve the quick math problem (this keeps little fingers out). Inside you can choose which worlds appear, set whether your child traces BIG or little letters, pick a level, and see a simple weekly activity dashboard.
The sounds aren’t real animal sounds yet.+
Right now some sounds are generated on-device as friendly stand-ins. Real recorded sounds are coming in an update. Nothing about this affects privacy — all audio is produced or played on the device.
My child’s progress disappeared after reinstalling.+
Progress is stored locally on the device only (we don’t use iCloud or any server, for privacy). Deleting the app deletes that local progress, and reinstalling starts fresh. This is the trade-off for collecting zero data.
Does it work on iPad?+
Yes — Trace & Find is universal and adapts to both iPhone and iPad, including a landscape layout on iPad.
