@ruimaata We appreciate the kind words. We're a very small company dedicated to very high quality learning and open play apps. We spend nothing on marketing so support like this means the world to us. Thank you.
@squeaker68882@TheCaptainEli Human translators are still better than AI for science terms, though we now use AI to help us catch issues and improve translations.
@squeaker68882@TheCaptainEli Tis true. By posting on Craigslist around the world for teachers interested in translation & science, we found dedicated people who would help us bring our software to their language (in exchange we supplied their classrooms with the apps). Most apps are in 60+ languages.
It's always nice to have Apple shine the spotlight on our work, and it's always fun to have new groups of kids discover this strange and wonderful game where different rooms in a mysterious house come to life every night: https://t.co/UhCHUlyq8o.
Something old, something new:
Now that it's finished it's run on Apple Arcade, our yokai game, Things That Go Bump is now available as a standalone!
And our new thing is The Robot Factory 3D. Build 3D robots and explore a new world!

@HeyRmj Hi. Unfortunately the system we used for the Explorer's Pass (a key app that unlocks the other apps) is no longer allowed in the Android store. We're trying to figure out a solution, and will also soon be offering some standalone Android apps.
@AzurePlayFab We've been using your service since 2016. It recently stopped working and on investigation we found our payment details are missing and the acct is in an "unexpected state". We've tried contacting you for support but are getting no response. How do we fix this?
It’s nice to see The Human Body and Me:A Kids Diary recognized by Wirecutter as best-in-category for kids apps: https://t.co/8gta3VuS40. There are lots of other great titles in this list. Give them all a look!
@reroutethe23 Sounds like you're describing our Skyscraper app!

Homes is also popular with younger kids: https://t.co/poi9j59BEJ
@IwataTiff@r_beckstead@rsms@themexican We are indeed planning on bringing Things That Go Bump back later this year, but it will be a stand alone @tinybop app rather than part of @AppleArcade. We enjoyed on run on Arcade and can’t wait to get back on the store.
@r_beckstead@rsms@themexican This is what we do (for younger kids). The reason you don’t see more companies making this kind of software is because it’s hard/expensive. App store policies make sustainable models in this space very hard. There are some though, BrainPop does a nice job for example.
