Pip 11+ has been reviewed by teachers and child-development specialists and is now officially **Teacher Approved on Google Play**. The badge, awarded for the 9 to 12 age group, means independent experts have looked closely at Pip and judged it a high-quality, age-appropriate app for children. Thank you to everyone who has practised with Pip and helped make it what it is. **TL;DR** - Pip 11+ is now **Teacher Approved on Google Play**, for the **9 to 12** age group. - Teachers and child-development specialists reviewed it for design, content, educational value, engagement and how ads or purchases affect children. - Approved apps get the badge, a section on their store listing and a place on the Google Play **Kids tab**. - Pip is **free**, with **no ads**, no sign-up and no collection of children's data, plus an optional Pro upgrade. ## What is Teacher Approved? Teacher Approved is Google Play's programme for helping parents find genuinely good apps for children. Rather than relying on star ratings alone, Google works with **teachers and children's education and media specialists** who review apps against a framework built with expert consultation. They look at things like: - **Design quality:** is it easy for children in the age group to use and understand? - **Content:** is the language, imagery and theme age-appropriate? - **Educational value:** does it support healthy development, including creativity, learning and positive messages? - **Engagement:** does it actually delight and hold a child's attention? - **Ads and purchases:** do they affect the child's experience? Apps that pass earn the Teacher Approved badge, become eligible for the Kids tab on Google Play, and get a section on their store listing showing what reviewers liked. It is one of the few genuinely independent quality marks in the app world, which is exactly why it means a lot to us. ## What the teachers said about Pip Here is the feedback from the reviewers, now shown on Pip's Google Play listing: _The Teacher Approved feedback on Pip, as shown on the Google Play listing._ ## Why this matters for parents Choosing an app for your child is a leap of faith. There are thousands of "educational" apps, and it is hard to know which are genuinely good and safe. Teacher Approved takes some of that guesswork away, because real teachers and specialists, not just an algorithm, have checked Pip and given it their approval. It also lines up with the promise Pip has always made. Pip is **free**, with **no ads**, **no sign-up** and **no collection of children's data**. Your child can open it and practise straight away, and you never have to worry about what they might see or be sold. The Teacher Approved badge is independent confirmation of exactly that. **Thank you** To every parent and child who has practised with Pip, left feedback or told a friend: thank you. This badge belongs to you as much as to us. We will keep making Pip better. ## Try Pip free If you have not met Pip yet, now is a lovely time.
