QissaQuest

Arabic letters for young learners

One Arabic letter a day for a young child. Three steps, in order: hear it, trace it, say it — then the day is done. Twenty-eight letters, one at a time, with a streak that counts the days a child came back.

How a day works

Listen. The letter is spoken aloud in Arabic, as many times as the child wants to hear it.
Trace. The child draws the letter with a finger, following its shape on screen.
Say it. The child says the letter out loud and the app listens — entirely on the device.

The third step is always skippable. A child who does not want to speak, or whose device cannot do offline Arabic recognition, still finishes the day.

What it does not do

No account, and no box asking for a child's name.
No advertisements and no in-app purchases.
No analytics, no crash reporting, no third-party code of any kind.
No networking code at all — it works with the device offline, because there is nothing for it to connect to.

A child's voice never leaves the device. The app asks iOS whether on-device Arabic speech recognition is available and, if it is not, declines to listen rather than sending audio to a server. The privacy policy sets this out in full.
