Free, ad-free learning app for kids 3+ in five languages
30 followers
A learning app for children from age 3: coloring, letter tracing, phonics, math, piano and 500 folk tales — in Vietnamese, Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese. Free, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account required, works offline once content is downloaded.
Dino Kids is a community project at Digi Dinos, not a revenue line. Everything is open from the first tap — no paywall. We'd love feedback from parents, especially on what a three-year-old can do alone without help.
Finally, something for little ones. Is there any protection that helps kids spend less time on the screen, though?
Lately, I started watching the environment around me, and I am concerned about how adults make kids watch things on smartphones to keep them busy. I remember when we watched TV with my brother; they shut it off, and we had to go outside even when we were pissed off about it. :D

I couldn't agree more with your TV story! There was definitely something healthy about being forced to go outside and invent our own games (even if we were mad about it at the time :D). We share your exact concern—Dino Kids is designed specifically to prevent screen addiction, not encourage it.
We built direct time-management controls right into the app to give parents full authority:
1. Built-in Screen Time & Bedtime Controls: Parents can set custom daily usage limits for weekdays, weekends, and strict bedtime schedules for each child profile directly inside the app. Once the time limit is reached or bedtime arrives, the app automatically locks down.
2. Finite Playtime Mechanics: Mini-games in "Play Time" can only be unlocked by completing learning tasks, and game rounds automatically end after a set number of turns—eliminating infinite loops.
3. Bridge to Physical Play: In subjects like drawing and handwriting, lessons actively prompt children to grab real paper and pencils to practice off-screen.
4. Zero Dopamine Traps: No push notifications, no countdown stress, no ads, and no infinite autoplay.
Technology should complement childhood, not replace playing outside!
@digi_dinos yes, some games were pretty weird like rining the bells of totally random people.
I like the idea that you was thinking about reducing screen time as well! Big bonus points :)

Haha, ding-dong ditching! 🔔 Nothing beat those wild childhood outdoor games!
Thank you so much for the kind words and bonus points, Nika! Coming from you, that truly means a lot to our team! 🙌
free, no ads and no in-app purchases is so rare in kids apps, respect. 500 folk tales in five languages is a lot for a community project
@gevorgarakelyann
Thank you so much for the support and kind words, Gevorg! 🙏
It was a huge labor of love—100 authentic folk tales for each of the 5 languages, all hand-adapted to be safe for young learners with read-along text highlighting.
We really appreciate you recognizing our community effort!
