Questions grown-ups ask 💭

Is TapaType really free?

Yes — completely free. No ads, no purchases, no subscriptions and no sign-up. It was built by a parent for their own kids.

What ages is TapaType for?

Ages 3 to 8. Games range from first letter recognition and letter tracing for preschoolers to sight words, sentences, times tables and home-row typing for school kids up to Year 3.

Does it work on tablets and iPads?

Yes. The on-screen keyboard is tappable, balloons pop by touch, and letter tracing works with a finger. You can install it from the browser (Add to Home Screen) and it works offline.

Is it safe for children?

Yes. TapaType collects no personal data at all — no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no third-party services. Progress is saved only on your own device. Read the privacy policy — it's genuinely short.

Does it match what school teaches?

Word lists follow the high-frequency "heart words" used in NZ structured literacy and the Australian Magic 100 / Oxford Wordlist, plus CVC phonics families and Year 1–3 number work like skip counting and times tables.
