No. There are no ads, no links out to the web, no chat and no accounts. Your child can't talk to anyone or buy anything by accident through an ad.

Map Hunt covers the locational knowledge and map skills in England's Key Stage 1 and 2 geography curriculum: continents and oceans, the UK's countries, seas and cities, the countries of Europe and the Americas, the Equator and the Tropics, compass directions and grid references. A hunt takes a few minutes, and the daily hunt makes a good starter for a lesson.

Not yet. We're starting with Android, and we'd like to bring the games to Apple devices later.

Clear the app's storage in Android's settings (Settings, then Apps, then the game, then Storage), or uninstall and reinstall it.

Thank you! Borders, names and facts are tricky to get right. Please email us with the place and what looks wrong, and we'll fix it in the next update.
