A pre-reader should be able to drive it alone
Nothing important is hidden behind text. Big targets, thick outlines, one idea per screen, audio on every tap.
About
TinyLearn is a free Android learning app for children aged 2 to 8, built around one idea: a child who cannot read yet should still be able to learn on their own — in English, Hindi or Marathi.
The story
There is no shortage of ABC apps. There is a real shortage of ones that also teach the हिन्दी वर्णमाला properly, count to a hundred in मराठी, and still work when the signal drops on the way to a grandparent’s house.
TinyLearn started from that gap. The result is eleven learn topics, a hundred game levels, and a deliberate choice to keep the whole thing free — because the alphabet is a strange thing to put behind a paywall.
The look comes from the same place: soft lavender blocks, flat pastel fills and big rounded shapes, sized so a two-year-old’s thumb lands where they meant it to.
The TinyLearn buddy — the star on the antenna spins a little faster every time your child gets one right.
How we build it
Nothing important is hidden behind text. Big targets, thick outlines, one idea per screen, audio on every tap.
The Hindi and Marathi Varnamala get the same cards, the same audio and the same place in the games as the English alphabet.
No paywall in front of the alphabet. The app is supported by ads that follow Google’s Families policy, and every ad is badged.
Everything works offline. A car ride is one of the best times a child has to learn, and it is usually the worst time for Wi-Fi.
Stars, stickers and a streak — small, honest signals that a child is getting somewhere, without loot boxes or pressure to spend.
The printable worksheets exist because a crayon and a sheet of paper still teach things a tablet cannot.
