Right on :) We're expanding to desktop in the coming months!

Don’t forget the AppleTV :)

Oh, definitely! We're learning that siblings love playing Tappity together. Well, at least one plays while the others watch :) So, having it on the big screen will really help, plus it'll be easier for parents who like to keep an eye on things as well!

Any plan for android support?

I came here to ask the same thing. There's a mailing list for the Web / Android version at the bottom of the page. I will definitely forget about it until then.

We will! We're starting with web first towards the end of this year, but we're targeting Android next year.

Yup. In our case, tablets are forbidden on weekdays, but we allow them to use the appletv because we can control what they are doing/watching. I’ll be happy to pay a lifetime membership once it’s released there.

This looks incredible! I hope this succeeded wildly.

The current preview video (“A Closer Look”) has some audio issues - the narrator and Haley talk at the same time. I also wanted to see an example of the interactivity, but maybe the time constraints are too short to show there?

First - this is awesome, and timely. Definitely going to try this with my kids :)

Second, and completely off topic - The text for the post is grayed out a bit. It looks similar to downvoted comments. Most of the 'Ask HN' posts look like this.

I assume this is normal (yes?). Why is this done?

Thank you, we appreciate your support! Do you mean the preview video in the App Store or somewhere else? We have a few clips on our website but trying it out in the app will probably give you a much better idea. (It's free to download!)

Awesome! Kids are the toughest critics, so let us know what they think :)

I'm also not entirely sure why the post itself is grayed out. We didn't do anything to alter it, so I think it's normal!
