Apps General Questions
Why are the applications not free? Why are they expensive?
The Bimi Boo series of apps has been meticulously developed by experts in the field to deliver the highest quality educational content. Every product within the brand is thought through to the smallest details. Therefore, we believe that our prices are well justified. All of our demo versions are free of charge to download. Additional options and the full version are available as in-app purchases.
Are your apps available for a single payment or are they subscription-based?
Most of our apps offer one-time in-app purchases, granting you unlimited access without any additional charges. However, we do have four apps that utilize a subscription model – Bimi Boo Academy, Interactive Cartoons, Puzzle Games & Kids Drawing
How can I purchase your apps?
Please launch the app with the internet connection turned ON and tap on the locked content. Then, pass through the parental gate and follow the standard purchasing flow.
Is an active internet connection required to use your apps?
An active internet connection is required to download and install our apps from the application stores. However, once the app is installed on your device, you can turn OFF the internet connection and use it .
Exceptions-There are only four subscription based apps that require internet connection to sync game progress: 1) Bimi Boo Academy 2) Interactive Cartoons 3) Puzzle Games 4) Kids Drawing.
Do you have any advertisements within your apps?
Our apps are completely ad-free. There is only the “More Apps” section, which is protected by a parental gate, making it inaccessible to children. Additionally, you can disable this section by turning off the internet connection before launching the app.

Please use the “Recover Password” feature on the login screen in order to change the password. The necessary instructions will be provided in an email sent to you.
