Why a checklist helps
Learning apps all promise the same things on the first screen. The differences hide in the details: who sees your child's data, what happens when the free trial ends, whether you can get your money back. A checklist makes you look at the same things every time, so you can compare apps fairly.

The 12-point learning app check
0 / 12
The questions, in plain words
- Language: a child who thinks in Gujarati learns faster when the app speaks Gujarati.
- Textbook page: an answer that matches today's lesson helps more than a clever answer to a different question.
- Ads and trackers: if the app is free because of ads, your child's attention is the product.
- Parent consent: in India, the DPDP Act, 2023 asks for a parent's consent before a child's data is processed.
- Parent view: you can't guide what you can't see.
- Price and renewals: ask 'what will I be charged in month 2?' before you tap pay.
How Gyanmor answers these
We built Gyanmor to pass this list: Gujarati, Hindi and English; answers only from the pages you pick; no ads and no third-party trackers; a parent's yes for under-18s, by a link and a 6-digit code; Guru's AI never sees a child's name; a parent app with every chat and a time limit; refunds within 7 days of your first payment; and nothing that renews by itself. Don't take our word for it. Run the same checklist on us, and on every other app.
Red flags
- A free app that asks for lots of permissions.
- No named company, email or grievance contact.
- Pressure: 'offer ends today'.
- A subscription that renews silently.
- An AI that never says it can be wrong.
Questions
How do I choose a safe learning app for my child?
Check that it shows no ads, uses no third-party trackers, asks a parent's consent for under-18s, lets you see your child's chats and set a time limit, and has a clear price and a real contact. Use the 12-point checklist above.
What are red flags in a learning app?
Ads, many permissions, no named company or contact, pressure to pay today, silent auto-renewal, and an AI that never admits it can be wrong.
Should a learning app renew by itself?
It's safer when it doesn't. Gyanmor plans never renew by themselves: you pay for a month or a year, and then go back to Free unless you pay again.
Can I get a refund?
On Gyanmor, ask within 7 days of your first payment for a full refund. Whichever app you use, find the refund rule before you pay.
