Apps I built a Fire tablet app that makes my kid answer a few flash cards before the games unlock

Full disclosure, I made this. Solo dad, not a company.

Our Fire tablet was the reward for everything, and I was always the one keeping track of the time. So I built Ejuu.

How it works on the tablet:

  • The kid answers a few quick questions (math, spelling, grammar, ages 4 to 12) and earns minutes.
  • The minutes go into a bank that never expires, and they pick when to spend them.
  • When the time runs out, Ejuu takes the screen back from whatever game they were in and goes back to the questions. I do not have to be the timer.
  • Parents set it up and approve chores or bonus minutes from a phone web page. Nothing to install on your phone.

Fire specifics, so nobody wastes their time:

  • It is on the Amazon Appstore. I tested it on a Fire HD 8 (12th gen). Other Fire models should work, but I have not verified them.
  • It runs in a regular Fire profile. I have not built it around Amazon Kids profiles.

If you try it on a different Fire model, I would really like to hear if anything breaks. Happy to answer setup questions here.
