Everything the app does, and why

ONZU looks like a game. Underneath it is a spaced-repetition engine tuned for Years 3–6. This guide explains every feature, including the parts you can't see by tapping around, so you know exactly what your child is practising and why it sticks.

Getting StartedWhich login door to choose, private credentials, new-family setup and the first egg. Home ScreenOne minute per device puts ONZU next to their games, opening full screen like any app. The Learning EngineLeitner boxes, the Times Table Map, and why mastery needs more than one good session. The Adaptive PickerHow the app decides which question comes next: the exact weighting, no hand-waving. Math QuestTimes tables plus six more skills aligned to the Australian Curriculum. Spell QuestRecognition first, production for mastery, plus grammar and private family Word Packs. Transition QuestOptional high-school-readiness practice for Year 6, with strict guardrails and separate progress. The Rewards, HonestlyXP, two kinds of coins, streaks, pets and Celestial Guardians, with the exact rules. NAPLAN & Curriculum MapAustralian Curriculum alignment, with an additional NSW syllabus mapping. PrivacyWhat we store, what we never collect, and why there are no ads. Short and blunt.

The one-paragraph version

Every answer your child gives updates a private skill score for that exact fact, word or scenario. Weak items come back sooner and more often; mastered items fade into occasional review. Wrong answers are never punished with lost points. They trigger a short Fix-it (do it once, correctly) and a faster return of that item. The games, pets and streaks exist to make a ten-minute daily session something kids choose. That's the whole trick, and it's the same one behind flashcards, Anki and every serious memory system, wrapped in something a nine-year-old actually opens.

My QA team is in Year 4 and Year 6

ONZU started as a homework helper for my own two kids. Every feature in this guide shipped because it survived contact with two real children. Everything they got bored of was cut.
