Frequently askedHow does the game teach rhythm?It uses the Kodály approach: the syllables of a word are its rhythm. A pear is one tap; an apple splits into AP·ple — two taps. The picture is cut into as many pieces as the word has syllables, so a child can read the rhythm before they can read music.My child taps, but the grove does not open.Ask them to say the word out loud while tapping. Timing improves dramatically when the mouth leads the hand — that is the whole point of the method. A grove opens after one session where most taps land in time; there is no limit on attempts, and nothing is ever lost.Is my child “bad at rhythm” if the report says −70 ms?No. Children naturally tap slightly ahead of the beat, and the report already measures against that age norm. A spread of ±120 ms is normal at ages 6–8. We show the median, not the best result, on purpose.How do groves unlock?By playing, and only by playing. Progress can never be bought.I bought the word packs but they are locked.Open “For Grown-Ups” (the button at the bottom-left of the map, behind the parental gate) and tap Restore. If it still fails, email us and we will sort it out.How do I get into the grown-ups area?Tap “Grown-ups” at the bottom-left of the map and answer a small multiplication written in words. It is there so a child cannot reach settings or purchases alone.Does the app record audio?No. The microphone is never used or requested. See our Privacy Policy.Is there advertising or a subscription?Neither. No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking. There is one optional one-time purchase for three extra worlds, and it lives behind the parental gate.How do I delete everything?Delete the app. All progress and statistics live on the device only and go with it.For teachers
The free Fruits pack contains the complete method: all seven groves, every rhythm from quarter notes to sixteenths, the free-play mode and the grown-up report. The paid worlds add new words and pictures, not new learning. You can recommend the free version without reservation — nothing in the course is behind the purchase.
If you use the app in class and something gets in the way, please write. Feedback from teachers is what this app is built on.
