What kids get

Learning that feels like a game

  • Two ways to play. Pick a National Curriculum set for their year, or a Quick Quiz for a few minutes of fun.
  • Help on every question. Stuck or wrong? There is a clear explanation to read.
  • Mistakes to fix. Questions they got wrong are saved so they can try them again.
  • Rewards that stick. Streaks, XP, achievements and a daily goal. In the Reward Shop your child spends the XP they earn on the stickers they choose, each at a fixed price and never for money, and a friendly pet grows as they learn.
  • Two looks. Switch between Pop Lab and Exercise Book.

Questions

Which years is it for?

Years 1 to 6 (ages 5 to 11) in England, following the National Curriculum.

What is the difference between Quick Quiz and National Curriculum?

National Curriculum sets follow the objectives for your child's year. Quick Quiz is a short, mixed round for fun practice.

Who writes the questions?

The questions, answers, explanations and lessons are written with the help of AI tools and checked for accuracy against the National Curriculum. Checking cannot catch everything, so if you spot a mistake please tell us on the support page and we will correct it.

What if my child gets a question wrong?

Every question has help text, and mistakes are saved in a review so they can fix them later.

Can I keep control as a parent?

Yes. The grown-ups area is behind a PIN, and each child has their own profile.

When can I download it?

It is coming soon to the App Store. Use "Get notified" and we will email you when it is live.

How do I get help?

Visit our support page, which has our email address and explains how to complain.
