  "text": "Hello HN,<p>I&#x27;m excited to share a project I&#x27;ve been working on back and forth for the past three years or so.<p>&quot;TappyToys - Learn Animals&quot;. It&#x27;s an educational iOS app for iPhone and iPad designed to make learning new animal names fun and engaging for young children.<p>I believe that the app is best targeted towards kids in the ages 4-6. There&#x27;s also a settings page to adjust the difficulty as well to better tailor it to their level.<p>The app has gained somewhere between 500-1000 downloads over the years, most of them in the last couple of months since I picked up development on my spare time again.<p>I have no idea how the app is performing since I haven&#x27;t ran any user tests or similar.<p>It would mean a lot to me if you took the time to try it out, especially you with young ones yourselves. The app is free to download from the App Store. You get three free animal categories and can unlock another 7 categories with a one time in-app purchase. The app is free from ads.<p>Any feedback would be very valuable to me. I truly have no idea if the app is decent or terrible really.<p>I hope to be able to deliver this to the Google Play store in the future.<p>Hope to hear from you and have a great day!<p>Kind regards,\n&#x2F;&#x2F; G",
