Your self-care companion
Drink some water, take a short walk, message a friend. Each day brings a few small tasks. As you finish them your sparrow grows and travels across Türkiye, bringing you postcards.
Reading fluency for grades 1-4
A new story every day with your child's name in it. Halfway through, your child decides where it goes. At the end you see reading speed, accuracy and comprehension separately.
Which game should I download?
Every game praises itself in the store. After a nine-question quiz you see the games that suit you and why, plus whether each needs internet, has Turkish and how hard it pushes you to pay.
See what each app collects in one table. Each app's privacy policy has the details.

Full policies (Turkish): Serçem, Okuma Kahramanı, Oyun Pusulası
Our apps are built to work offline. When information has to leave the phone, the privacy policy says exactly why.
In Serçem, an ad plays only when you choose to watch one for a reward. Okuma Kahramanı is made for children, so it shows no ads at all.
We write in Turkish rather than translate. Okuma Kahramanı even gets the grammar right around your child's name.
We try each app with a small group before releasing it to everyone. Email us from your Gmail address, tell us which app you'd like to try, and we'll send you the Google Play test link. Questions and ideas are welcome at the same address.
