Description
Spottle gets kids OUTSIDE, looking UP at the sky instead of DOWN at screens — and rewards them with real prizes you choose at home.
Your child points the camera at the clouds and taps "Spottle It." Nancy the bunny — Spottle's friendly AI guide — traces a glowing gold outline around the shape she sees and tells your child a fun fact about it. A dinosaur. A whale. A magic dragon. Each find earns a point. When the clouds are wispy, Nancy gets creative with cloud poetry — a cozy pillow, a magic ribbon, a fluffy cloud-cat.
MEGA PRIZES — THE SECRET SAUCE
Mega Prizes are real-world rewards YOU set up — a special treat, extra screen time, a trip to the park, an ice cream date — that your child can earn during play. You pick from 15 kid-friendly presets (or write your own) in the Parent Dashboard. Spottle randomly drops a Mega Prize roll during fast-answer Imagination Mode rounds, and when your child wins one, the app shows a celebration card telling them to come find you and cash it in. It's the secret sauce that turns "fun cloud game" into "the thing my kid asks to play every day."
- YOU choose the prizes — they're whatever YOUR family values
- Set up to 3 active prizes; rotate them anytime
- Award frequency is YOURS to control (every 24 hours, 12 hours, etc.)
- Kids never see prizes inside the app until they win one
- Optional — Spottle works great without them too
IMAGINATION MODE (offline and unlimited)
When there are no clouds in the sky (or the kids are stuck inside), Imagination Mode keeps the magic going. A puffy cloud cover dissipates over a hidden shape, and your child taps the matching answer before the clock runs out. Quick answers earn extra points and a chance at one of your Mega Prizes.
- Works without an internet connection
- No daily limit — play as long as you like
- Fast answers unlock the Mega Zone (bonus and prize-roll window)
HOW SPOTTLE WORKS
Each day, your child gets a fresh batch of 50 cloud finds. Every time the camera analyzes the sky, that counts as one find. Once the daily batch is used up, the app gently wraps up with "see you tomorrow" — and refills overnight. Imagination Mode is unlimited, so kids can keep playing once the cloud batch is done.
- 50 cloud finds per day, every day
- Counter resets at midnight
- Healthy session length, not a screen-time marathon
- Parent Dashboard shows today's usage and Mega Prize stats

Nouveautés (v1.5.1)
Lots of polish in this update — clouds look more like real clouds, the reveal feels gentler, and the daily-finds counter now sticks the way it should.
NEW CLOUD-SHAPE ARTWORK
Every cloud illustration in the game has been redrawn. Each one is built from real cumulus puffs — the kind you'd actually see in the sky — so the shape emerges out of the cloud the way pareidolia really works. 18 new shapes added too, including a magical unicorn, a graceful swan, a rocket ship, a treasure chest, six more letters of the alphabet, and the numbers 1, 2 and 3.
SLOWER, GENTLER REVEAL
The cloud-shape now fades in slowly after the camera finishes scanning — your child has time to register the photo first, then the shape materialises out of the sky like a cloud forming.
SMART HALO AGAINST REAL CLOUDS
When your child's photo has real clouds in it, the painted cloud-shape gets a soft luminous halo so it stands out and stays findable. When the sky is clear blue, the halo is skipped — the shape pops against the blue on its own.
DAILY FINDS COUNTER FIX
The "X cloud finds left today" counter no longer resets every time the app reopens. Each child still gets a fresh batch every local morning.
FRIENDLIER HOME SCREEN
The blue cloud now reads "Look up at the sky! Let's find things!" Nancy greets you with "Are you ready to spottle? I wonder what we can find in the sky today."
PRIVACY (UNCHANGED FROM 1.5)
As of v1.5 your child's photos stay on the device. No photo is sent to any AI service. Only short kid-safe text strings go to ElevenLabs for Nancy's voice. The cloud-shape illustrations were pre-generated and bundled with the app.
OTHER FIXES
• Camera viewfinder no longer shows a thin blue strip on one edge.
• Wrong taps no longer flash a "wrong!" card — Nancy just says a soft retry line and the cards stay tappable.
• Halo around the photo card on first appearance is now correctly sized.
