Tapoovy

HERE TO HELP

A little help.

Everything you need to get started, and a direct line if something isn't quite right.

Contact the developer

Email your Watch model, watchOS version, Tapoovy version, and a short description of what happened. Please leave out passwords and sensitive information about you or your child.

How does Tapoovy work?

Open the app on your Apple Watch. Tap anywhere for a colorful bloom and ripple. Move a finger across the screen to leave a trail that fades. Keep the watch on your wrist and stay with your child throughout the brief interaction.

Do I need an iPhone app?

No. Tapoovy runs on Apple Watch without an iPhone companion app. It requires watchOS 10 or later.

Why is there no sound?

Tapoovy is intentionally silent. It has no sound or vibration effects.

Why does my watch dim or return to the clock?

Your watch controls display sleep and when it returns to the clock. Tapoovy does not keep the display on indefinitely. You can review Wake Duration under Display & Brightness and Return to Clock under General in your watch's Settings.

How do I leave the app?

Press the Digital Crown. The watch's normal system controls remain available; Tapoovy does not lock a child inside the app.

Can I reduce the movement?

Turn on Reduce Motion in the watch's Accessibility settings. The background stays still and ripple movement is reduced.

Are there ads, accounts, or purchases inside the app?

No. Tapoovy is planned as a free app, with no accounts, ads, or in-app purchases. It works offline.

Are the colorful trails saved?

No. The trails are temporary effects and fade away. Tapoovy does not save or transmit them.
