Clock Hands: Learn Time

Manabi Mate LLC

About this app

Clock Hands: Learn Time helps children ages 5–9 learn to read an analog clock by doing it themselves. A time such as 3:30 appears, your child drags the hour and minute hands until the clock matches, then taps Done.

WHY MOVING THE HANDS WORKS
Telling time is all about how the two hands work together. Here the hour hand moves a little with every minute, just like on a real clock, so at 3:30 it sits halfway between 3 and 4. By turning the hands themselves, children see why, instead of memorizing answers.

SIX LEVELS, ONE STEP AT A TIME
• Level 1: Whole hours
• Level 2: Half hours
• Level 3: Quarter hours
• Level 4: Five minutes
• Level 5: Exact minutes
• Level 6: 24-hour time
Finishing a set opens the next level. A parent can also open levels in the parent area.

GENTLE HELP, NO PRESSURE
• No countdown, no lives and no points lost
• After a wrong try, a short, kind message invites your child to look at the hands again
• If it is still tricky, the number marks light up, then faint guide hands show where to go
• Tap "Hear the time" to have the prompt read aloud by your device's voice
• A calm "Set complete!" at the end of every set

MADE FOR FAMILIES
• Up to four learner slots on one device, with no names or birthdays
• Progress for each level, in a parent area that opens with a hold-and-tap check
• 5, 10 or 15 questions per set; spoken prompts and gentle haptics can be switched off
• Unfinished sets are saved, so practice can continue later
• Hour and minute −/+ buttons for children who find dragging hard, plus screen reader labels
• Phone and tablet layouts, light and dark themes
• Works offline

PRIVACY
One purchase unlocks everything. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no sign-up and no third-party analytics. Learning records stay on the device. If you wish, a parent can back them up to a private app folder in their own Google Drive, or export and import a ZIP file.
