Project Brief
Tip Top Tim is an Education App designed by teachers to offer your child the opportunity to read 100 common words through play. The games are varied and engaging with colourful illustrations.
The Tip Top App had been half built by a previous App builder and so I was asked to come in an help as the app needed finishing as there was still quite a way to go.
Process
I love working on Education Apps but sadly due to the way in which this app had been built by the previous company it meant that nothing was in place should the operating system need updating. This meant that as the next version of iOS was about to be released then the way it had been built would have essentially made the app redundant. So along with my team, we had to essentially build the app again from scratch putting in place the proper code and system, which will allow the app to grow with the ever updating iOS updates.
We tackled the app level by level, by again using our online project management system to ensure the feedback and updates were all tracked as we went along.
Final Results
We are really pleased that this Education App is finally live and on iTunes. The app is a perfect learning tool for kids learning to read. Here is some info about the app from iTunes. You can download it from here: Tip Top Tim on iTunes
The words are introduced five at a time to enable your child to learn them thoroughly before moving on to the next section. You can assess your child’s progress after every five words. There are ten words in each level.
The first game ‘Order’ introduces the words to the child in a sentence. The child is invited to put words into a sentence so they are reading for meaning. The other games offer fun activities to read and learn the five new words.
