Frequently asked questions

An iPad app with 22 learning games for children aged about 3 to 6 who can't read yet. The home screen is a little 3D town where every building is a game.

Maestri World is made for iPad, in both landscape and portrait.

Yes. Once installed, everything it needs is on the iPad: voice, pictures and games. It works in airplane mode.

The narration is in English. The language school teaches Portuguese, and the trip around the world says hello in the language of every country it visits.

No. Every instruction is spoken, buttons are pictures, and each game is a building that shows what happens inside.

About 3 to 6. Most games open at three, some at four and the most demanding at five, based on the birth month a parent enters. A parent can open or hide any game.

Each game has a ladder of skills. It moves up after a couple of clean rounds and gives more help after a hard one. Today's trip brings back what was learned anywhere in the app, with reviews that are due first.

Nothing bad: no lives, no red crosses, no timers that run out. Mistakes are part of the game, and in some games, like the bridge builder, a wrong try ends in a funny splash.

No. It practices skills that preschool and kindergarten build on, through play. It works best alongside reading together, real-world play and plenty of time outside.

No. There are no ads in Maestri World.

Progress and the play journal behind the parent charts are stored on the iPad and do not leave it, unless you export a backup file yourself.

Yes. You choose the session length. When it is up, the break screen gives a small mission to do at home.

Yes. Each child has their own progress and their own age-matched town, and a parent switches between them.
