The Home screen
Opening the app shows one card: the streak, how many questions are left in today’s goal, and Blockie standing next to it. Underneath are the four things the 11 Plus tests. Your child taps one. That is the whole navigation.
Fractions, percentages, area and perimeter, angles, time, place value, ratio and the rest, each with a worked tip.
Grammar, punctuation, word classes, figurative language and the comprehension vocabulary examiners keep returning to.
Letter codes, missing letters, odd one out and word logic, in the shapes the GL papers actually use.
Shape sequences, rotations, reflections and the odd figure out, every one with its own drawing rather than a description of one.
Four complete courses, each taught topic by topic at an easier and a harder level. Verbal and non-verbal reasoning are tested throughout the quiz papers as well.
Inside a topic
Pick a course, pick a category, pick a topic. Questions are answered by tapping, and nothing needs marking by you.
Not before, where it would just be the answer sitting next to the question. Your child commits, then reads why it is what it is.
Every topic comes in easier and harder, switched with one control. Start where your child is, not where the book assumes they are.
On a non-verbal question the shape is the question, so the answer is the shape your child taps, not a letter they have to match up.
Cards and Quizzes
Each with its meaning, an example sentence and its synonyms. A session is twelve words, shuffled: see the word, try to remember the meaning, then flip. Twelve because a session has to end.
Ten questions each, mixed across all four papers and scored on accuracy, with your child’s best score kept against every paper. 360 questions in total.
Papers print from a browser rather than a phone, at the papers page, because a phone cannot print.
The Progress screen
Every question studied lays a block. The blocks stack into a tower, coloured by paper, so a month of maths and no English is visible in one glance instead of being a feeling.
The same screen carries the streak, the quiz average and the achievements. There are five characters to grow: Blockie, who counts every paper at once, then Sumie for maths, Wordie for English, Codie for verbal and Shapie for non-verbal. Each one gains a block as its paper is worked through, and the ones your child has never touched stay locked.
That is deliberately behavioural rather than decorative. Three grey silhouettes is what sends a child to the paper they have been avoiding, and it does it without you having to be the one who says it.
None of it is emailed to you. It is on a screen you can both look at, because a child who knows a report is going to a parent stops answering honestly.

Three weeks of maths, and English barely touched. That is the conversation the screen is there to start.
Before you download
One universal app, so it is the same on both and your child can start on a phone and carry on with the iPad.
The whole question bank is on the device. No signal needed, and no page waiting to load between one question and the next.
Chosen in Settings as System, Light or Dark, so the last ten minutes before bed are not spent staring into a white screen.
Nothing advertises to your child and nothing tracks them. Progress stays on the device and in your own cloud backup. The privacy policy says so in plain words.
One payment of £19.99. Not a subscription. You buy it inside the app if you decide it suits your child, through its store, so that store’s refunds and your family payment settings apply: the App Store on iPhone and iPad, Google Play when Android arrives. What it costs.
There is no Play Store listing to send you to today. Android comes after the iOS release, and until it does we would rather say that than link you to an error page.
No. Download it, open it, and your child is answering a question. Every topic, quiz and vocabulary card works without signing in.
Signing in is optional and does one job: it lets a purchase follow your child to a new iPhone or iPad. You do not need one to try the app, and there is no web sign-up to do first.
Yes. The questions, the quizzes and the vocabulary cards are all stored in the app itself, so a car journey, the Tube or a plane all work. Progress is saved on the device and catches up with your own cloud backup when you are back online.
Not yet, and a phone cannot print anyway. Papers is on the website today: sign in at the web version on a computer, choose the subjects and topics and a length, and print it with its answer key. It comes to the app in the next update, and papers follow the account, so one built on a laptop will be waiting on the phone. There is a free ready-made one on the papers page too, without signing in.
Not yet. The iPhone and iPad app is being rebuilt from the ground up first, and Android follows once that is stable. There is no Play Store listing to point you at today, and we would rather say so than link you to an error page.
Download it, hand your child the phone, and see whether they finish the first ten questions without being asked. That is the only test that matters.
