Little Wheels FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What learning activities are included in Little Wheels?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

Little Wheels gives your child five engaging ways to learn through vehicles they already love:
• Vehicle Tales – interactive stories that build listening skills and vocabulary
• Vehicle Browsing – explore 100+ vehicles with sounds that encourage speech practice
• Creative Coloring & Stickers – mess-free art that sparks imagination
• Daily Card Pull – exciting discoveries that keep kids coming back

Question 2

Is the app available in multiple languages?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

Yes. Inside Talk & Listen, every vehicle name is spoken in both English and Spanish to support early language learning. The rest of the app's text and navigation are currently in English.

Question 3

What expertise went into building these apps?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

Our family includes a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Speech-Language Pathologist who provide valuable perspective on child development. While our apps aren't medical tools, we benefit from dinner table conversations and feedback about what actually helps kids thrive — combining professional insights with daily parenting reality.

A Note on Expertise: While I'm lucky to have family members in pediatric healthcare and speech therapy who share their perspectives, every pixel and interaction comes from watching our own kids play. They're my toughest critics and best teachers.

Question 4

How is this different from Toca Boca or Sago Mini?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

We love those apps! But as a parent, three things mattered most to me: completely ad-free play (no sneaky upgrades or "parent zones"), fully offline capability for travel and waiting rooms, and honest pricing—buy it once, own it forever. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no "premium" versions. Plus, we keep things simpler and calmer for the youngest players who might find other apps overwhelming.

Question 5

Should I feel guilty about screen time?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

We're parents too — we get it. Quality matters more than quantity. Our Pediatric NP family member reminds us: 10 minutes of calm, creative play beats an hour of overstimulating content. HOW they play matters more than how long. Read more: Healthy screen time guidelines for educational apps.

Question 6

Why should I trust Little Wheels?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

Fair question! We're new, but we're also: • Real parents using these apps daily with our own kids • Fortunate to have family members in pediatric healthcare and speech therapy • Committed to no ads, no data collection, ever • Submitted to Educational App Store for independent review • Transparent about being a small, family operation that actually cares Learn more about our ethos: How Little Wheels supports your child's development.

Question 7

Why choose Little Wheels over free apps?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

Most "free" apps aren't really free — they have ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. We believe in honest pricing: pay once (less than a coffee), own forever. You get: • Truly ad-free play (no "parent zones" to accidentally trigger purchases) • Full offline mode for travel • No subscriptions or recurring charges • Direct support from the actual builder (me!) • Peace of mind knowing your child's data isn't being sold Read why free often costs more: The hidden cost of "free" toddler apps.

Question 8

Are these apps educational?

Little Wheels · Accepted Answer

They're thoughtfully designed for development through play. Create & Play builds fine motor skills, cause-and-effect understanding, and creative expression. Our upcoming Talk & Listen app will focus on speech development. We don't promise to teach math or reading — we promise calm, creative play that respects your child's natural development.
