Unlike traditional apps, TinyTap content is created by a global community of educators and experts, ensuring a diverse and pedagogically sound curriculum.

Our Expert Score
TinyTap is a revolutionary platform in the EdTech space, acting as a bridge between professional educators and young learners. What makes it unique is the 'crowdsourced' nature of the content; because the games are made by teachers for their own students, the pedagogical value is far higher than your average 'gamified' app. It covers everything from basic literacy to complex scientific concepts, making it a tool that grows with your child.
From a parental perspective, the 'Insights' dashboard is invaluable. It provides a granular look at where your child is excelling and where they might need more support. The ad-free environment is a non-negotiable for safety, and the ability to download games for offline use makes it a lifesaver for travel. TinyTap isn't just an app; it’s a global digital library that democratizes high-quality education. It’s the single most important educational app you can install for a developing mind.
Features
Access to 250,000+ teacher-made games

Gameplays
TinyTap games require children to tap, drag, and even record their own voices. This active participation ensures higher engagement and better retention compared to passive video watching.

Great app but flow needs work.
Wed Jun 27 2018 KZOBmomEverything about this app is great except the flow. The search is a bit confusing... every time you open the app it brings you to the search page and it makes it hard for a 4-6 yr old to navigate. It took us a while to get the kids to go straight to their age profile and do their lessons. I think they should make it cleaner and not have the search page as the first thing that pops up. Also, maybe allowing us to personalize the lessons would be a good idea. Children love to see their name on the screen, it gives them ownership (I guess idk if you are able to do that but I haven’t found how to do it.). Finally, I love that they have availability for different languages but they should keep them separate. My kids are constantly frustrated bc they can’t understand something they just tapped on. If hey are trying to expose kids to other languages then they should make stories in other languages, my kids would love that. Once they work on these things I’d rate it five stars bc it is a really good app.
This app is
Tue Dec 28 2021 theoilwhisperThis app looked appealing at first glance, and a friend ended up purchasing a subscription for my daughter for her birthday years ago. Well, the app ended up being a complete fluke. There was too much pressure to purchase other things, ads, and pop ups. She would get frustrated when trying to play a single game. Anyways, well here we are almost 3 years later (the subscription the friend bought under her name was only for ONE YEAR) and they randomly get my Venmo account info and charge my venmo card $50+ for who in the world knows what. We didn’t use the app after the first week and again nothing was under my name, my daughters name, our apple id’s, nothing. So I have no idea how they got my venmo card number now being 2-3 YEARS later, very sketchy. I got no emails about renewing or canceling, TinyTap does not show up on my apple ID or any other accounts— and I even went to redownload the app and “log in” but when I put in my email it said, start your free trial here— meaning no current account. The robotic emails throughout customer support try to blame you/me for “not canceling my trial” to which would mean, i’d have to have one in the first place and I didn’t. And then I think that would mean I would have received other charges or even notices of cancel/renew over the past 2-3 years and none of that either. Just one charge today, $50 for a subscription renewal from 2019…very shady and not a great app to begin with. Just dont!!! :)
Hard to navigate
Tue Oct 02 2018 MORNINGDEERI have a 2 year old who loved some of the games but it’s extremely hard to navigate, even for me. There’s no set order you do the activities in for his age group. We just had to pick random ones because there would be two for 2 year olds and the next one in line is for 5-6 year olds. It was just crazy. Also, you do realize that toddlers don’t always hold the phone without touching the screen, correct? My son would get so frustrated because even though he was picking the correct answer it wouldn’t register if a smidge of any other skin contact was on the screen. He would have to sit with me so I could move his other hand off of the screen so it would register. And when he had to drag something to it’s right spot he would get it pretty close but when he would let go it would go back to where he grabbed it from and say he got the answer wrong! It’s not teaching kids, it’s frustrating them! One more thing, the voice overs are terrible. Like, really bad. Some are ok, some seem like they don’t speak very good English and others sound like they were recorded in a warehouse with all of the echos! Please get it together.
Math App helps!
Tue Aug 08 2023 SliverLadyMath was never my strong suit, and I was secretly dreading the day my little Emma would need help with her math homework. I just knew I wanted her to feel confident and enjoy the subject more than I ever did. Enter TinyTap. I got the app on a friend's recommendation, and what a game changer! Emma started with simple counting games, but before I knew it, she was navigating through addition, subtraction, and even some early multiplication. The way TinyTap presents math – it's like a fun puzzle, not a chore. What really impressed me was how the app seemed to adapt to her level. When she breezed through one concept, it offered a slightly trickier challenge, always keeping her engaged and curious. And when she struggled? The games encouraged repetition and practice without ever making her feel discouraged. Now, here's the real kicker: Emma proudly announced that she's the 'math star' in her class and wants to be a "math scientist" when she grows up. I couldn't have imagined such a transformation! So, to all the parents out there looking to give their kiddos a math boost in a fun and interactive way, TinyTap is the secret weapon you didn't know you needed. Happy learning! With gratitude, A super-relieved mom
Wanted to love it
Mon May 01 2023 ka1313mamaThe ads for this are appealing but the flow is horrible. The login page starts with saying sign up first, doesn’t remember your info and tries to make a new account every time. The remembered password feature doesn’t work for this app even though it’s saved in my passwords. Also appears you need to be connected to the internet to login which so so annoying. What if we’re in the car and want to use it? Nope. It also crashes constantly, I’ve tried to install and uninstall it 3 times now and no difference. The other scary thing was when I tried to delete it I long held it to wait for the x to delete to pop up and then it pulled up personal documents as icons within the tiny tap square? I first thought it was and iPad glitch but it’s up to date and happened 2 separate times when I uninstalled it and brought it back. My next thought is maybe this app is a pathway for hackers? That would explain the other lady’s review about tiny tap appearing to use her Venmo info. Too many glitches, crashes and safety concerns to continue, I deleted it.
Inconsistent, not great for toddlers
Tue Jan 10 2023 jcurnsWe bought the annual subscription for traveling and something interactive on our kid’s iPad that was geared toward toddler ages. The profiles and setup were fine - including a second profile in my kid’s second language (neat way to help reinforce!), but after 9 months of this, the activities themselves seem to vary wildly in quality, volume, or developmentally appropriate requests. The precision/dexterity required to complete a puzzle often isn’t broad enough for toddler fingers - so after getting a piece in the right spot 2 or 3 times, my kid will get frustrated and just keep tapping the screen until the guided hints nudge the piece into place. This could be a great tool for preschool and up - especially kids that can follow verbal direction, but it needs some refinement. Also beware the volume discrepancies, especially if your kid is wearing headphones. The soft-spoken steps are too quiet and the WAHOO from the happy little box is twice as loud. I think this is a mis-match between content creators and the program itself.
They do not refund your money
Mon Aug 23 2021 Naty0818I had this app for a year I didn’t cancel after a 1 week free trial so I stayed with the app for one year I didn’t like the app I stopped using it so I forgot about it then I was charge for another year which I didn’t want I asked that I wanted a refund they said OK we will give me your money back within 5 to 7 days it has been a month I have messaged them like 10 times and I get no answer so I filed a complain with my bank and hopefully they can get me my money back so if you get this app be careful when you want to cancel because they make it extremely hard to cancel they send you to iTunes you won’t find it in iTunes and now you’re stuck with this app and the only way to maybe or hopefully solve your problem is by getting in contact with your bank and seeing if they can help I do not recommend this app at all like I said they will give you a hard time canceling and they will take your money and tell you they will refund your money and never do so I have The emails to prove it
Stupid glitchy app and useless customer support.
Fri Jan 20 2023 Point38I asked for a refund and they said go and process it using this link. I did and couldn’t do it because it was a few months later when I tried using the app. It was constantly crashing on my new iPad Pro and iPhone as well. Also, the content is total craps. Like seriously you can find such crap I jus wanted to give a slap to whoever approved the content to be seen by kids. Anyway, they couldn’t issues a refund because developers apparently can’t do that even though they get their money through Apple store. Apple store said they don’t have a function to issue a refund pass a few month since purchase. It’s my fault I didn’t check the app right away but on the other hand I never had issues like freezing with apps. Lost my money but will spread a word for sure about this crappy company with careless customer support. I recommend Speech Blubs and LingoKids. They know what they are doing unlike TinyTap scam.
