PRACTICE WITH A PURPOSE
Small wins. Useful learning.
Choose a short practice, explore a topic, or revisit a tricky question. The app adjusts the challenge using each learner’s saved answers and hint use.
Understand the idea
Read the standard explanation, ask why, and return to a question that needs another look.
Watch a garden grow
Small quests and badges recognise exploration, help-seeking and returning to practice. All learning content remains available.
PARENT LEARNING REPORT
See the story
behind the practice.
A clear record of what happened, where confidence is growing, and what could help next.
- Practice days, recorded active time and subject coverage
- Supported strengths and topics for focused practice
- Changes in first attempts at comparable challenge levels
- A practical plan and a professional PDF to keep or share
Reports are local and protected by a parent PIN. Older sessions may not have reliable active-time measurements. Reports describe observed practice; they do not establish that the app caused an improvement.
A FAMILY’S OWN SPACE
Learning stays on your device.
The current app has no account sign-up, advertising, third-party analytics or AI chat. Personalisation and reports work locally. A parent decides whether to share a report.
A LITTLE HELP
Good questions
from families.
Need a hand?help@northstareducation.io
For support or older-account requests. Please do not send passwords, parent PINs or unnecessary information about a child.
Can siblings use one phone or iPad?
Yes. Create up to five local learner profiles. Each profile has its own answers, practice history, garden and recommendations. Parents can select the learner when viewing a report.
Does practice need an internet connection?
No. The questions, diagrams, hints, explanations, learning recommendations and report calculations are included in the app. The current release does not make AI requests.
Are there paid plans, coffees or subscriptions?
No. The current app contains no purchases, donations, paid plans or subscriptions. Learning features are free.
How do parents open and share reports?
Open Progress → Parent Learning Report near the top, or You → For parents → Parent Learning Report. A grown-up verifies the device using Face ID, Touch ID or its passcode, then chooses a six-digit parent PIN. A device passcode is needed for setup and recovery. PDF sharing is optional.
Why is some practice time missing?
Older versions did not reliably separate time in practice from time away from the app. New reports use recorded intervals when the practice screen is visible and the app is active. They can include idle moments on that screen.
Does progress move automatically to a new device?
There is no app-managed cloud sync. Data stays on the device and may be included in its backups, depending on device settings. A PDF is a readable report; it cannot restore learning records into the app.
How do I delete a local learner?
Select the learner in You, choose Edit learner, and confirm “Delete this learner and their progress.” Other learner profiles remain. Earlier device backups are managed through device settings.
What about an account from the older AWS version?
Earlier account-based test versions used AWS, including Cognito. Deleting a current local learner does not delete those older accounts or online records. Email help@northstareducation.io for an access or deletion request. See the legacy-account section of the privacy policy.
