The short answers. The full list, including privacy, pricing and permissions, is on the FAQ page.
Nupo is a parent-controlled app that puts a short learning moment in front of the apps your child already uses. You choose which apps it applies to and how long they stay open. Your child answers a few quick, age-appropriate questions, and the app unlocks for the time you set.
Children aged 5 to 12. During setup you choose an age range, and the questions your child sees are matched to it. The account, the settings and the PIN all belong to the parent.
A parent signs in, picks the apps that should have a learning moment attached, and sets the rules for each one. After that it runs on its own: when your child opens one of those apps, Nupo asks a few questions first. When they answer, the app opens for the time you allowed, and then it locks again.
See the walkthrough on the home page →On Android, Nupo detects on the device that a chosen app has come to the foreground and shows the lesson screen over it. On iOS, Apple does not allow any app to draw over another, so Nupo works through Apple's Screen Time framework instead: the learning moment appears when the chosen app is opened, rather than on top of it. The result is the same, and the difference is worth knowing before you set it up.
