How it started

Romeo and Giorgio are real. Romeo is our 4-year-old son and Giorgio is our dog. When Romeo wanted to play on the iPad, we looked for fun games he would actually learn something from. We couldn't find them: most apps were full of ads, flashing buttons and things to buy.

So we started making our own. Together with Romeo we came up with games at the kitchen table: counting apples, reading the clock, guessing which sound you hear. Romeo tried everything and told us honestly what he found boring. Giorgio was always there.

That became 64 games, with Romeo and Giorgio explaining each one. Exactly the app we were looking for.

How do I cancel?

Through the App Store: Settings › your name › Subscriptions. You keep everything until the end of the paid period.

Is the app safe?
