DiaryZapp Information

Hello from Charlie (mum), Jon (dad), Noah (10) and Ella (8) We’re a family who have taken the issues of screen time, social media, and learning loss into our own hands after a conversation last year… When Ella was struggling with her literacy she was told to keep a diary, Noah had to do the same and when he got bored with it we asked him: what would you do to solve the problem? He suggested a diary app that improved your writing in a fun way. As app development is not our day job, a full year of sleepless nights ensued and we worked with a team of creatives to bring DiaryZapp to life. And here it is! Our son’s initial idea has grown to something that will genuinely benefit families and children around the globe. Just ten minutes a day can help boost literacy skills in your child to prevent learning loss over the long summer holiday - so they can have adventures, make dens and run around being kids and you don’t have to believe everything you read in the media about hiring live-in nanny’s all summer long. When they’re written, drawn and imported their favourite pictures they can share a link to their day with friends and family that you have approved. It is by doing this that we hope to introduce children in a safe way to social media etiquette and sharing. Noah is getting to the age where he’s going to be introduced to the world of social media and I’d rather that he has a safe introduction to it, that we can educate him on, than being tossed into the fray the moment that he’s old enough. Ella’s literacy has improved and so has her confidence. We’ve made sure that DiaryZapp is fun, creative and inspiring, with no need for hours of 'screen time'​. To be be featured in both the Apple and Amazon app stores in the same week was an incredibly proud moment. Follow our journey here and learn how we as a family, are working to solve the current issues that today's children and parents are facing. Welcome to our DiaryZapp world... grab your tablet...
