By Larry, a parent in Singapore.
I'm a parent, not a company. StudyLab started because of two things that annoyed me about every free study tool we tried.
Your child finally settles. Ten questions in, concentrating properly, actually enjoying it — and then something flashes up asking them to watch a video. My wife puts up with this every day on her own apps and it drives her mad. For a young child it's worse. The concentration is gone, and it is very hard to get back.
This one bothers me more, because it's quieter. When one of those apps shows a question that's wrong, or confusing, or just badly worded, there is nowhere to say so. No email, no button, nothing. You are expected to accept whatever the app decides to put in front of your child, and you have no say in it.
No ads. Not now, not later. Nothing interrupts a round. There is nothing to close, skip, or sit through.
A real feedback channel. Every question has a small link that says "something wrong with this question?". It opens WhatsApp with the question already filled in, and it comes straight to me — not a ticket system, not a support queue. If a question is wrong, I want to know, so I can fix it.
You decide what your child sees. No account needed. No algorithm picking what comes next. No feed. You choose the level, you choose the game, and that's the whole of it. Progress is saved on your own device, and I don't collect anything about your child.
Free. I intend to keep it that way for as long as I'm able to.
A side project, built by one person, in the time I have. It follows the Singapore MOE primary syllabus as closely as I can manage — I left Speed out, because MOE removed it — but I'm sure there are mistakes in here somewhere. That is exactly why the feedback button exists.
I'm doing this to give something back, at whatever capacity I've got. If it helps your child practise for ten minutes without being interrupted or sold something, that's enough for me.
