kiyavama for Kids
Hi r/maldives 👋
I'm a Maldivian dad and I got frustrated by how little there is in Dhivehi for young kids on phones — most apps are English-only. So over the past few months I built a free app called Kiyavama:
- 70+ illustrated stories (Dhivehi + English) with audio narration
- so kids can read along
- 50+ educational games (alphabet, counting, word puzzles, memory match,
- Dhivehi letter tracing, etc.)
- Flashcards organised by age (2–4, 4–6, 6–10)
- Categories like Islamic stories, science, and classic fables
It's free to download, no signup needed. There are a few premium stories but the core library is free. I'd love honest feedback from other Maldivian parents:
- Are the Dhivehi stories at the right reading level for your kids?
- Any topics/stories you wish were included?
- Anything that breaks on your phone?
I'm a solo developer, so every parent's feedback shapes the next update. Search "Kiyavama" on Play Store, or DM me for the link. (Mods: happy to remove if this counts as self-promo — please let me know.)
