Critter Caller v1.0.0

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Critter Caller?

Tap the star character on the home screen to start listening, then say an animal name. The app will recognize what you said and play the animal's sound!

Why does the app need microphone access?

The microphone is used to listen to voice commands so you can say an animal name instead of typing. Your voice is processed on your device and is never recorded or sent anywhere.

Does the app work offline?

Yes! All bundled animal sounds work without an internet connection. The optional AI feature also runs entirely on your device. An internet connection is only needed to download additional sounds from the Sound Box.

What ages is this app for?

Critter Caller is designed for children ages 3-6, but kids (and adults!) of all ages can enjoy it.

The app isn't recognizing my voice. What should I do?

Make sure you've granted microphone and speech recognition permissions in your device settings. Try speaking clearly and close to the device. You can also check that your device isn't muted.

How do I add custom sounds?

Go to Settings (gear icon) and tap "Add Sound", or open the Sound Box and tap the "+" button. You can record your own sounds and give them a name!

What is the AI feature?

When enabled in Settings, a small AI model runs on your device to better understand natural speech. It helps when you say things like "I wanna hear a lion roar" instead of just "lion". The AI runs completely offline and does not send any data to external servers.

Is my child's data safe?

Absolutely. Critter Caller collects zero personal data. There are no accounts, no tracking, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Everything stays on your device. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.
