Ad-free games for kids: screen time without pressure
Last updated:
Bloom is an ad-free learning app for kids with no trackers, no leaderboards, no countdown timers and no loot boxes. Accounts belong to parents, children never sign up, and every photo is deleted as soon as Bloom has read it.
Why pressure mechanics matter
Many children's games are designed to maximise time spent: streaks, timers, rankings and random rewards. These keep children playing, not learning. Bloom leaves them out and ends each game with a calm celebration instead.
Privacy in plain words
Photos are stored privately only long enough to be read, then deleted. Parents can export or delete all family data at any time. There are no ads and no third-party trackers.
A checklist for any kids' app
No ads or in-game purchases aimed at children. No public rankings. No timers that punish slow thinking. Clear deletion controls for parents. A privacy page written so a parent can understand it.
