About KanaSprout: Japanese for Kids
■ A first new language, learned through play KanaSprout is a first-language drill app for children aged 6–8 meeting Japanese for the very first time. From hiragana and katakana to basic words and greetings, short 5–10 minute play rounds keep it gentle — no time pressure, success first. ■ See it, hear it, trace it Big letters and clear sound teach each character, and tracing the stroke order with a finger helps the shape stick. Listen-and-choose and whole-word play build those first words naturally. ■ No ads. No data collected. KanaSprout shows no advertising and collects or transmits no personal data from your child whatsoever. All learning stays on the device — so parents can hand it over with confidence. ■ Purchases are for grown-ups Subscription and settings screens open only after a parental check (a simple math problem). Children can't buy or wander off on their own. ■ Offline, anywhere No account needed — learn even on a plane. One letter a day, together with PiPi. ■ Subscription details KanaSprout Premium (Annual) — auto-renewing yearly subscription, $22.99/year The first 14 days are free. After the trial, the subscription renews automatically. It renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be canceled any time in your App Store account settings. Free content stays playable without a subscription.

The listen button shows when a sound is playing. In Match Up and at round end, sound effects and pronunciation don't overlap. With sound off, drills and writing practice show how to turn it back on. The Sticker Book adds a color legend, locks on cells not yet open, and a note that a perfect island challenge earns all its stamps at once. Leave early after a star and Home invites you to keep going. After the parental check, Terms and Privacy open in the app. Screen-reader labels improved.
