Frequently asked questions

Everything families ask us about getting started, our roadmap, pricing, and safety, all in one place.

What age is Wiggler for?

Wiggler is designed for children aged 4 to 8. Difficulty adapts to your child's pace, so a curious 5-year-old and a hesitant 7-year-old both feel right at home.

How is this different from other reading apps?

Most apps make kids memorize whole words or guess from pictures. Wiggler teaches decoding, the science-backed method used by top reading schools worldwide. One rule per lesson. No gaps.

How much time does a lesson take?

Just 10 to 15 minutes a day. That's it. Small, joyful daily wins are what build lifelong readers, not marathon sessions.

Do I need to sit with my child?

No. Wiggler is designed for independent play. The parent dashboard lets you check progress whenever you like, from wherever you are.

What devices does Wiggler work on?

Wiggler works on most tablets and phones with a browser or our app.

Is there an AI reading coach?

Voice-based coaching is on our roadmap, not part of the first beta. Beta focuses on the phonics course itself: tap-to-decode lessons with audio and meaning for every sound.

Will my child's voice data be safe when this launches?

Yes. When voice coaching ships, recognition will run on-device. Nothing will be uploaded, nothing sold, and we'll never use your child's data for ads. Ever.

What if my child gets stuck on a lesson?

Wiggler adapts in real time. If a rule isn't landing, we slow down, add extra practice, and revisit it in later lessons until it sticks.

Is Wiggler free right now?

During early access, Wiggler is free for a limited number of families who sign up. We'll always tell you clearly before anything changes to paid plans.

Will I be charged automatically?

No. You won't be charged without clear notice and the chance to opt in first. Cancelling, if you ever choose to, takes one email.

Can I use Wiggler for more than one child?

Yes, each child gets their own profile and progress path under the same parent account.

Does Wiggler show ads to kids?

Never. Wiggler has no advertising, no in-app purchases aimed at children, and no chat or social features for kids to interact through.

Who can see my child's progress?

Only you, as the parent or guardian on the account, and Wiggler staff where strictly needed to operate or support the product. See our Privacy Policy and Child Safety page for details.

How do I delete my child's data?

Email hi@wigglerjr.com and we'll action the deletion promptly, then confirm once it's complete.
