About this app

Daoo is a calm learning game for toddlers and young children, set up by a parent.

Tap the screen and a real photo appears with its letter and word, spoken aloud by a recorded natural voice. Words are shown in English, Spanish, Arabic, Bangla, Hindi and Chinese, with a sound-it-out pronunciation that lights up as it is spoken.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Letters A–Z with real photos, most familiar words first; tap the middle of the screen for the next word of the same letter
• Watch & learn: plays by itself, A to Z with numbers, or by category
• Touch & explore: calm real-photo scenes (a farm, a kitchen, a reef and more) with 5 to 50 things; Daoo asks where, who says, which and how many, and every tap names the thing and adds a fact or a clue
• For little ones: Peek-a-boo, Shadow match, Faces & feelings and Sort it (drag, or tap then tap)
• Photo journey: one photo leads to the next
• Object puzzle with gentle hints, Math puzzles with real objects, and Sentence puzzles in English
• About 70 daily phrases and a Talk board: tap a picture to say a word or phrase
• Easy to say: practise a sound slowly with a "Your turn!" pause (practice for fun, not therapy)

PARENT CONTROLS
• Two quick questions the first time (name, optional, and age); the age guide picks calm starting levels
• Parent settings behind a parent check (hold the lock icon for 3 seconds, then answer a sum)
• Suggest a rest after 3, 5, 10 or 20 pictures (or never), and an optional play time limit of 10 to 60 minutes; a grown-up holds a button to keep playing
• Choose the main language and which languages are shown and spoken
• Your child's name for "Hello" and "My name is …"
• Reserved words: your family's own words, up to 4 per letter, in their own lane

PRIVACY
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Settings stay on the device. The optional record-and-play-back setting opens the microphone only for a few seconds after "Your turn!", plays the try back once from memory and discards it; nothing is saved or uploaded.

SUBSCRIPTION
Free for 7 days, then a monthly subscription. Google Play handles payment, renewals, cancellations and refunds; manage or cancel any time in your Google Play subscriptions. Purchases are behind a parent check.

No scores, streaks or countdowns. Photos: Wikimedia Commons contributors (credits in the app). Features may change.
