One app, two modes.
Kids get big buttons, loud celebrations and a token bank they can see grow. Parents get a quiet dashboard with the controls that matter. Switching between them takes a PIN or a fingerprint.
Big buttons. Loud wins.
- Tokens, streaks and celebrations that feel earned
- Read or play: one tap, that’s it
- Works for a 6-year-old, no instructions to read
A calm window, not a watchtower.
- See who’s reading or playing right now
- You decide what a minute of screen time costs
- Give or deduct tokens, and review odd sessions before they credit
Built for kids who’d rather be playing.
Two big choices
The home screen asks one thing: read a book or play. No menus to dig through.
A bank they can see
Their token balance sits front and centre, so the link between reading and playing is obvious.
Streak flames
Each day they read lights a flame on the week. Long streaks pay bonus tokens.
Celebrations that feel earned
A perfect quiz gets a proper party on screen. Effort gets noticed.
A countdown they understand
When they play, a timer shows what’s left and warns them at 5 minutes and 1 minute.
Their own avatar
Every kid has a profile that’s theirs, without an email address or account of their own.
The controls that matter, and nothing else.
Is my kid playing right now?
See live who’s reading, who’s playing and how many minutes are left.
You set the rate
Decide how many tokens a minute of screen time costs. Different families, different rules.
Give or deduct
Add tokens for a great week, or take some back when the device didn’t go down on time.
Review odd sessions
Repeated pages and unusual sessions are flagged. Tokens wait until you approve them.
Supervised or trusted
Check each session before tokens land, or let them credit straight away once you trust the routine.
Room for the family
Up to two parents and four kids on one account, each kid with their own level and balance.
Simple on purpose.
Not a device lock
BookHero doesn’t take over the tablet, console or TV. It keeps score and the time, and you stay in charge of the screen. That’s why it works with any device in the house.
Not an e-reader
Reading happens on paper. The phone only comes out to start the timer, snap a page and answer the quiz.
Not homework
Three questions, not a worksheet. The point is to check the story landed, not to grade them.
