A GUIDE FOR PARENTS

Records and parent settings

Separate practice accumulated from readiness for the next step.

Updated October 11, 2026
01

Open the parent area

Hold Parents & settings at the top right for three seconds. The iOS app also asks an adult arithmetic question. This area contains records, sound and stage settings, and language controls.

The child’s screen focuses on listening and answering. Parents manage chord additions and stage changes separately.

02

Two different questions

Morning
1–3 minutes
Afternoon
1–3 minutes
Evening
1–3 minutes
An example routine. Finishing ten questions adds one practice session.

Practice sessions, days and time show what you have accumulated. For example, twelve sessions across four days means twelve completed ten-question practices on four different days. It is not an ability ranking.

Current practice shows today’s stage and choices. Apple and Chick together mean those two sounds are being learned. Next-step guidance considers time spent with the current combination and recent answers. Many past sessions do not mean a recently added sound is familiar yet.

03

Add Chick and Whale free

WhaleParent adds
Three sounds are free. Add one at a time.

Open Practice in the parent area and check the next picture and name. Preview its sound, choose to add it and confirm. Start with Apple, then add Chick, then Whale. These three sounds can be practised without purchasing.

Add one sound at a time; the app never adds them automatically. The fourth chord and single-note practice have a lock that leads to purchase information. Buying also does not automatically add sounds or change your stage.

04

Read first-answer records

Example recordChick18 correct first answers / 2 mistakes
Consider recent answers, time with the same sounds and how your child is doing.

Review correct and incorrect first answers for each sound. Single-note summaries group matching note names across octaves. Use these records to decide what to revisit.

The initial Apple-only stage does not show a discrimination accuracy rate. Recent twenty-question stage guidance and all-time records can cover different periods and conditions.

05

The calendar counts completed practice

Morning
1–3 minutes
Afternoon
1–3 minutes
Evening
1–3 minutes
An example routine. Finishing ten questions adds one practice session.

The calendar shows completed ten-question practice sessions by day. Checks have a separate history and do not add practice completions.

A day with fewer sessions does not indicate declining ability. Use the pattern to reflect on routines and tired days.

06

Where records are stored

Records stay on this devicePractice sessions, calendar and answers
Restoring access does not transfer records. There is no automatic device sync.

Web demo records are stored in that browser. They do not automatically sync to another browser or device and can be lost when browser data is cleared. A warning appears when saving fails.

iOS records stay on the device. Web-to-iOS migration and cloud sync are not provided. A new domain also has separate browser storage; old-site records do not move automatically.
