One fact about the world. One new word, spoken aloud. One chapter of a story. Then the app says goodnight and gets out of the way.
For children aged 2–8. Works in your browser today; App Store and Google Play to follow.
Something to know
A card about the world — an animal, a planet, a landmark — with a photograph and a few facts pitched at your child’s level.
Something to say
One word or phrase, in any of thirteen languages, read aloud with the pronunciation written out so a parent can say it too.
Something to hear
One chapter of a long story. Short enough for bedtime, so the Ramayana lasts two months instead of one exhausting evening.
And then it is finished. There is no next episode, no autoplay, nothing that refills while you are not looking.
Example · General knowledge
A real card, from the real app
This is card 40 of 243, exactly as a child would meet it. Try the level buttons — the same card grows with the reader rather than being replaced by a different one.
Elephant
The elephant is the largest land animal, and it says hello with its long trunk.
- An elephant's trunk has about 40,000 muscles, enough to grab a peanut or shove a tree.
- Baby elephants suck their trunks for comfort, just like children suck their thumbs.
- Elephants greet old friends warmly and grieve, even touching the bones of those who died.
- An elephant slurps water up its trunk, then squirts it into its mouth.
- Elephants flap their huge ears like fans to cool the blood running through them.
- India's Asian elephants have smaller ears than their African cousins.
How many muscles in a trunk?
Why it is built this way
- Facts, not paragraphs. A four-year-old can hold one idea. A seven-year-old wants six. Same card, three depths.
- Two options, never four. The quiz is there to make a child feel clever, not to sort them.
- No score, no leaderboard, no lost lives. A wrong answer just shows the right one and moves on.
- Every photograph is ours. They were licensed, credited and copied onto our own servers, so opening a card does not tell anyone else that your child is using the app.
A peacock's shimmering colours are a trick of light; the feathers are actually brown.
As wide as they are, the rings are only about as thin as a pancake.
A blue whale's heart is as big as a small car.
It took about 20,000 workers and 22 years to finish.
Bees do a 'waggle dance' to tell the hive where flowers are.
Your heart is a muscle about the size of your own fist.
Six of 243 cards, across 30 themes — from farm animals to the solar system, with a whole section on India.
Example · Languages
One word a day, in thirteen languages
Pick a language and see the same daily card change. Every word carries a written pronunciation, because the parent usually has to say it first. Tap the speaker in the app and the phone reads it aloud — using the device’s own voice, so nothing is recorded and nothing is uploaded.
Good night
शुभ रात्रि
shubh RAA-tri
209 words and phrases, grouped into 13 everyday units. Hindi, Kannada and Marathi sit alongside Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian and Arabic — so a child can learn the language of a grandparent as easily as the language of a holiday.
Example · Stories
A chapter a night, not a story a night
The opening of one Panchatantra tale, word for word. Seven short pages, then the parts that make it a conversation rather than a broadcast.
🐪 The Monkey and the Crocodile
By a wide, sparkling river grew a tall jamun tree. Its branches hung low with sweet purple fruit. High up in the tree lived a happy monkey named Raktamukha. All day he swung from branch to branch. He munched the juicy jamuns. And he sang little songs to the warm sunshine.
One sleepy afternoon, a big crocodile came gliding up the river. He stopped to rest in the cool shade below the tree. “Hello down there!” called the friendly monkey. He tossed down the ripest, sweetest fruit. The crocodile caught it in his wide mouth. He blinked in surprise. He had never tasted anything so sweet in his whole life.
After that, the crocodile came back every single day. The monkey dropped down jamuns. The two friends talked and laughed till the sun sank low. “You are the best friend I ever had,” said the crocodile. The monkey felt just the same. Their friendship grew strong, like the tall jamun tree itself.
… four more pages, in which the crocodile’s wife asks for something terrible, and the monkey thinks very fast indeed.
New words
- Clever
- Good at thinking fast
- Feast
- A big, happy meal
- Safekeeping
- Keeping something safe
Ask your child
- What would you do if you were the monkey on the crocodile's back?
- Have you ever felt worried but stayed calm and had a smart idea?
- How did the crocodile feel when he almost tricked his friend?
Let’s play
- Can you swing your arms and pretend to be a monkey in a tree?
- Toss soft toys into a basket, like the monkey sharing jamuns. How many can you get?
- Can you glide across the floor like a crocodile in the river?

Did you know? Crocodiles cannot chew their food, so they swallow big bites whole!

Ages
The same app, two speeds
You choose an age band at set-up, and it can be changed at any time. It is one library either way — a younger child gets less of each thing, not a smaller world.
Little ones
Ages 2–5
- One fact per card, in one short sentence.
- Words before sentences; lots of pointing and naming.
- Chapters read aloud, with actions to copy.
- Big targets, no reading required to get around.
Bigger ones
Ages 5–8
- Up to six facts, and the “did you know” extras.
- Full phrases, with written pronunciation to try alone.
- Reading along, then reading themselves.
- Quiz questions, new words and the questions to discuss.
Friends
A circle of people you actually know
Children keep each other going better than any notification does. A grown-up adds a cousin or a classmate, and their streaks sit side by side — no accounts to find, no strangers, nothing public.
Made-up names, shown here so you can see the screen with people in it. The app itself ships with an empty circle — every name your child sees is someone you invited.
Privacy
Built to be put down
- No advertising. No analytics. No third-party trackers. Not a reduced amount — none at all. There is no ad SDK in the build.
- Your child’s nickname and age never leave the phone. We ask for a nickname rather than a real name on purpose, and the app says so at the point of asking.
- Speech happens on the device. Nothing your child hears or says is sent anywhere.
- Reminders are local. We do not run push notifications, so we cannot ping a child to come back.
- A day ends. There is no infinite feed, no autoplay, no streak that punishes a missed evening.
The full detail, including what we do keep and how to have it deleted, is in the privacy policy.
Pricing
Free to try properly, then one simple subscription
The app is free to download everywhere. You get the whole library from day one — not a locked sample — and no card is asked for until the trial ends.
Everything unlocked, free, for:
| India | 30 days |
| Everywhere else | 15 days |
No payment details up front. If you do nothing when it ends, nothing is charged — the app simply asks.
Monthly
The whole library. Cancel in the store any time, keeps working to the end of the month.
Annual
The same thing, cheaper per month. Renews once a year.
Lifetime
Pay once. No renewal, nothing to remember, including everything added later.
Prices are set per country and shown in your own currency before you buy — Indian pricing is set for India, not converted from a dollar. One subscription covers the whole family. There is no advertising on any plan, including during the trial.
Questions
The ones parents actually ask
Does it need the internet?
Only to fetch new content and pictures. Once a day’s cards have loaded they stay on the device, so a car journey or a patchy signal does not end the evening.
Can my child buy something by accident?
No. There is nothing to buy inside the app — no coins, no gems, no unlocks. The only purchase is the subscription, and it goes through Apple or Google with whatever password or Face ID your device already requires.
Do you have my child’s name?
No. Set-up asks for a nickname, and it is stored on the phone and never uploaded. What we hold in the cloud is a parent’s email address, so the account can be signed in to, and learning progress stored against a random account number.
Is there a limit on how long it can be used?
The day’s content is the limit. When a child has done their card, their word and their chapter, there is nothing left to do until tomorrow. That is deliberate, and it is the main reason the app exists.
Where do the photographs come from?
They are freely licensed images — mostly Wikimedia Commons and public domain sources — that we have checked, credited and copied onto our own servers. Nothing is hotlinked, so no outside site is told that a child opened a card.
Two children, one phone?
The first release keeps one child profile per device. Multiple profiles are the next thing being built.
How do I get everything deleted?
Email privacy@famzolearn.com from the address the account was created with. We action it within 30 days. Deleting the app removes everything held on the device immediately.
Fifteen days of the whole library in your browser, nothing to install. The phone apps are in testing — write to us for a TestFlight invitation.
