Questions
Things parents ask us
What can we play for free?
The first games and levels in every world are free, including two stories, the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, and the first skill in each year group. You can see exactly how it works before you pay.
Is it matched to the National Curriculum?
Yes. Maths by Year and English by Year follow the National Curriculum for England, from Year 1 to Year 6, including the Year 4 multiplication tables check. It's a home-practice app and isn't a replacement for school.
How many children can use it?
All the children in your family. Each child gets their own profile, name, level and progress.
How do I unlock it on another phone or tablet?
Open Hoot & Learn on the other device, tap Unlock, then "I've already paid", and type the email address you paid with. Each device keeps its own progress.
Does it need the internet?
Only the first time, and to buy or unlock. After that it works offline, including Ollie's voice.
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep it. New games we add are included at no extra cost.
Can I get a refund?
Because Hoot & Learn unlocks straight away, all sales are final and we don't offer refunds, so please try the free games first to make sure it suits your family. This doesn't affect your legal rights if something is faulty: if anything isn't working, email us at hello@hootandlearn.co.uk and we'll put it right.
Is it in the App Store?
Not yet. It runs in your web browser, so there's nothing to install. You can add it to your home screen and it works like an app.
