36 games in 7 worlds

Each day the home screen opens on Today's adventure: four games picked for each child — a letters game, a numbers game, one they have never tried, and their favourite. Everything else is one tap away under All games, and every tap answers on touch-down. Alongside the games: the Talking Cards board, Type to Talk and Bottle Worlds.

Watch & Learn — 304 animated films

Two hours and thirty-eight minutes of short animated films about animals, space, the body, how things work, manners, weather and more — all free for good. Every film is drawn live in code, so the whole library is inside the app and plays without a connection.

One of the 304, rendered from the app: a seed becomes a plant.

Made to be watched by small people

  • Captions on every scene, whether or not narration is on.
  • Narration in the device's own voice, in English or Spanish, at 0.5× to 2× speed.
  • Play next: off, in order, or shuffle — nothing repeats until everything has played.
  • Longer films have chapters and remember where you stopped.
  • A Fact of the Day, changing with the date.

Twenty topics

74 storybooks, read aloud

Classics and originals, six to sixteen illustrated pages each, with Read To Me narration in the device's voice, or Read Myself for a child who wants to try. Every page has its text in English and Spanish, and every storybook is free for good.

Some of the titles

…and 50 more, including The Frog Prince, The Little Red Hen, Fun at the Beach and Good Night, Mia.

Talking Cards, built in

A picture-card communication board with 390 cards in 37 categories. A child taps cards to build a sentence and the app reads it aloud — Yes, No and Help are always one tap away. It supports a child's own talking; it is there alongside their voice, not instead of it.

New in this version: picture games built from the cards — Listen & Find, Opposites, Sort It, Two-Language Match, Scratch & Say, Daily Routines and Type to Talk. The word is always written under the picture, a wrong answer wiggles instead of buzzing, and a second miss shows the answer.

Need the full thing? Our dedicated app Talking Cards has 1,700+ words, six languages, storybooks and games of its own.

A tour of the app

On a phone Star Quest plays in landscape. On a tablet or an unfolded Fold, every screen also fills the display when it is held upright.

Stars, stickers and gentle habits

One currency: stars

  • Each game awards stars at up to three milestones — and an earned star is never taken away.
  • A daily star to claim, daily quests with a chest, and a first-play bonus.
  • A play streak with one grace day, so a missed evening does not wipe it out.

Things to collect

  • A sticker for every game, earned by playing.
  • Trophies to win.
  • 15 outfits in the Star Shop, bought with stars only — never with money.

Made for a family

  • Up to 6 profiles on one device — names only, kept on the device.
  • Each profile has its own stars, stickers, outfit and difficulty: Easy, Normal or Hard.
  • 12 heroes and 6 colour themes: Sunrise, Classic, Boys, Girls, Babies, Big Kids.

English and Spanish

Pick a language on first launch and switch any time. Every game, the home screen, the storybooks, the film captions, the trophies and the talking cards are in both. Two honest limits: a handful of Watch & Learn scenes have English captions only, and spoken Spanish in films and storybooks needs a Spanish voice installed on the device.

Made for families

Free to start. No ads, ever.

  • Free to download. Installed before 20 October 2026? Everything stays open for good — as it does for every family who bought Star Quest before.
  • For new installs from 20 October, every storybook and every Watch & Learn film is free for good, and every game is open for a free week.
  • After that, seven games stay free; a grown-up can open the rest with one purchase or a monthly plan.
  • No ad network, no accounts, no login.

Grown-ups in charge

  • Prices and purchases sit behind a grown-ups question; a child's locked game says “resting for now” and shows no price.
  • In the Family Room, a grown-up can hide worlds or single games for each child, set an age band and a wind-down timer, and see a weekly summary.
  • No permission prompts: no camera, microphone, location or contacts.

Teacher Approved

  • Reviewed under Google Play's Teacher Approved programme and featured on the Play Kids tab.
  • Google Play lists it for ages 6 to 12. A good part of it — the talking cards, counting, letter tracing, the Calm Corner and many storybooks — suits younger children too, and Chess, Star Sling and Drop Four stretch the older end.

Common questions

Is Star Quest free?

Star Quest is free to download. Families who installed it before 20 October 2026 keep everything open for good, and so do families who bought it before it became free. From 20 October, new families get every storybook and every Watch & Learn film free for good and every game for a free week; after that, seven games stay free, and a grown-up can open the rest with one purchase or a monthly plan, through Google Play.

Are there ads?

No, never. There are no ads of any kind. The Star Shop spends stars earned by playing, never money, and purchases sit behind a grown-ups question.

Does it need the internet?

Not to play. Every game, film and storybook is inside the download and plays without a connection. A connection is needed only to buy or restore a purchase.

What ages is it for?

Google Play lists Star Quest for ages 6 to 12. Much of the content also suits younger children — the talking cards, counting, letter tracing, the Calm Corner and many of the storybooks — while Chess, Star Sling and Drop Four are there for older ones.

Which languages does it support?

English and Spanish, with a switch inside the app. Games, the home screen, storybooks, film captions and talking cards are in both. Spoken Spanish in films and storybooks uses the device's Spanish voice.

Can several children share one device?

Yes. Up to six profiles, each with its own stars, stickers, outfit and difficulty. Profiles are just names, stored on the device, and a grown-up can hide games for each child.

Does it collect any data?

No. Star Quest collects nothing and sends nothing — no names, no device ID, no usage counts and nothing a child makes or says. There are no accounts and no ads.

Is it on iPhone and iPad?

Not yet — Star Quest is an Android app, on Google Play and on the Amazon Appstore for Fire tablets.

What does “Teacher Approved” mean?

Google Play has teachers and specialists review apps for children on quality, age-appropriateness and design. Star Quest passed that review and carries the badge on its Play listing.
