Let’s be honest: choosing the right digital learning apps for your kids can feel a lot like trying to find a needle in a very noisy, very crowded haystack.

There are millions of options — from the Apple App Store and Google Play to trusted platforms like PBS Kids, BrainPOP, and beyond. Add in parent blogs, reviews, recommendations from friends, and all those Google searches, and you’re left with a question we hear all the time:

“How do I know what’s actually good for my kid?”

That’s where Locket comes in. Our mission is simple:
To make it easy for every family to access the trusted digital resources kids need to learn and grow.

We’re building a caring and responsible community — and we’re doing it by holding every product we offer to four clear, uncompromising standards. These are the four pillars we use to choose everything in our collection. They’re the promise behind every Locket pick.

1. Evidence-Based

We don’t just take a product’s word for it. If an app says it helps your child learn to read, build confidence, or sharpen math skills — we make sure that’s actually true.

Every product must be rooted in trusted research, informed by educators, and tested for real impact. That means you’re not just getting something that sounds good — you’re getting something proven to be good.

2. Play-Tested

If it’s not fun, kids won’t use it. And if they do use it, we want to make sure it’s something they love — not just something they tolerate.

That’s why every Locket app is tested by real kids with different backgrounds and learning styles. We listen to their feedback, watch how they engage, and make sure every experience is joyful, intuitive, and designed with their needs at the center.

3. Kid-Safe

Privacy matters — especially when it comes to your kids. Locket apps follow not just the letter, but the spirit of the strongest privacy laws out there.

That means:

  • No sketchy data collection
  • No shady third-party tracking
  • No fine print surprises

Just safe, secure spaces where kids can explore, play, and grow without worry.

4. Ad-Free

Quite simply: There. Are. No. Ads.

Locket subscriptions unlock premium, ad-free versions of every app. That means no distracting pop-ups, no links to in-app purchases, and no interruptions when your child is mid-mission, mid-mystery, or mid-math.

Plus, you can pause or cancel anytime. No guilt, no hassle.

In a world that’s cluttered, competitive, and confusing, Locket is one part of your parenting day that just goes right.

We’re here to help you feel prepared, empowered, and confident — because you’ve got a partner who’s done the homework, checked the fine print, and made sure your kids are getting the best.

Because your time matters. Your trust matters.
And your kids deserve the very best of what digital learning can be.
