How it works
A few minutes a day, a new word in three steps
-
Look, listen and say it with Bobo
Every word card has a picture, a voice, pinyin and an example sentence. Tap the speaker to hear it again; once your child has said it, the next card is ready.
-
Play games that make words stick
Memory cards, match-ups, puzzles and more: every game pairs a picture with its name. A wrong answer is never a loss, Bobo simply shows it again; right answers earn stars towards today's small goal.
-
Parents can see the progress
The parent area shows time this week, total time, levels completed and the day streak, so you can tell at a glance how your child has been learning.
Three languages
One word card, three ways to say it
The same thing in Mandarin, English and Malay, learned side by side. The main learning language and the second language can be changed anytime in the parent settings.

For parents
See where your child is at, in one glance
Learning insights
Time this week, total time, levels completed and the day streak show how your child has been learning lately.
Three-language mastery
How much of Mandarin, English and Bahasa Melayu has been mastered, shown as a share of the content learned so far.
Skills map
Language, maths and logic: see what is solid and what is just starting, and jump straight to “practise”.
Healthy screen time
Set a daily learning goal and Bobo celebrates when it is reached and suggests a break; a daily time limit and eye-rest reminders are built in.
The parent area opens only after a small sum is answered, so little fingers do not wander in.
Safety and privacy
An app for children puts privacy first
No ads, no tracking
No ads, no advertising identifier, no analytics, tracking or attribution tools. Your child's data is never sold, rented or shared with third parties.
Works without signing in
Without signing in, data stays only on this device. Parents can choose to sign in and turn on cloud backup to keep progress when changing phones.
Only what is needed
The optional cloud backup holds only the child's nickname, a preset avatar, the age group and progress, stored encrypted. No photos, voice, location or date of birth, and your child never has to type anything.
Delete anytime
Remove a child's profile, cloud data or the account in the parent area, or request deletion on the account deletion page.
FAQ
Questions parents ask
What age is it for?
Ages 3–6, in three groups: nursery 3–4, junior 4–5 and senior 5–6. Content unlocks step by step by group: nursery is mostly pictures and sounds, junior and senior add reading and a second language, and senior also has an optional head start on primary-school maths.
Do we need to sign in?
No. Tunas works without signing in, and data stays only on this device. Parents can choose to sign in and turn on cloud backup, so progress comes along to a new phone.
Can we choose which language to learn?
Yes. Pick Mandarin, English or Bahasa Melayu as the learning language, and add a second language if you like. You choose once on first launch and can change it anytime in the parent settings.
What happens when my child gets it wrong?
A wrong answer is never a loss: Bobo simply shows it again. The goal is to learn at their own pace, not to race.
Will my child see ads?
No. Tunas has no ads and no advertising identifier.
How do I open the parent area?
Tap “Parents” at the top right of the home screen and answer a small sum. There you can see learning insights, adjust lessons and settings, and delete data.
How do I delete my child's data?
In “Parents → Settings” you can delete a child's profile, cloud data or the account. You can also skip the app and send the request on the account deletion page.
