I built this App so my kids (2 and 5) could play pretend store and restaurant. I wanted something that enhanced their play by giving them the ability to create "realistic" stores and take payments just like they see in the shops and restaurants we frequent, but while still preserving the concept of real play. It's a fun and easy way to begin learning about money and I have enhancements in the works to improve on the math and language aspects of the app.

You’re balancing two goals—open-ended pretend play and real math learning (totals, currency, making change): how did you prioritize the first set of features, what learning depth did you choose to start with, and what would make you expand into more structured math/language modes without turning it into “homework”?
As a parent, this is exactly the kind of screen time I feel good about. Fun, creative, and actually teaching something...
The interface is very friendly and intuitive — feels like a great way to help kids learn math in a fun, hands-on way.
One suggestion: it could be even more engaging with a few gamification elements (like progress badges or mini challenges) to motivate kids as they practice.
I like the idea – gamifying real life, but see more behind that: Financial literacy. Cool!
Great job on the launch! Even tho I don't have kids of my own, I can really appreciate the effort behind this. It’s the ultimate model father move to build something so polished just to enhance your children's play. They should definitely be proud of their dad! What was the most challenging part of designing a 10-store variety?
