The app is for Ukrainian children, both inside and outside Ukraine, in grades 1 to 4.
It allows children to learn on their own, so it doesn’t require constant adult supervision. It also lets children learn at their own pace, so they can progress at a level that’s comfortable and appropriate for them. Children find the app fun to use, but it’s not just a game – they learn essential concepts and skills aligned with their grade level.
Yes, the app is completely free.
Osvitoria and War Child Holland have co-developed the programme in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Programme donors include the UBS Optimus Foundation, the Jacobs Foundation, the Roger Federer Foundation, and the Fourfold Foundation.

Important updates will happen automatically in both iOS and Android.

Go to the caregiver panel, and click on the child’s account. From the child’s user dashboard, select the grade you want the child to be in.
Each grade level in the game corresponds to the same primary grade level in Ukrainian schools.

Additional curriculum-aligned content for each grade level will be released throughout the academic year.
