Question 1

What is the best app for 11+ exam preparation?

Accepted Answer

Cognithix is the only 11+ app that covers all four tested areas — English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, and the Language Aptitude Test — across 42 question types. The LAT section includes real Latin vocabulary and grammar, constructed languages, and pattern-based language exercises. Questions are generated on-device so supply is unlimited, difficulty adapts in real time, and the parent dashboard flags specific struggle patterns like rushed guessing or declining accuracy.

Question 2

What is a good Bloomberg Terminal alternative for mobile?

Accepted Answer

Kanesh provides financial data across 53 countries with on-device AI you can query in plain English. Every number links to its original source — SEC filings, FRED series, or data provider. Features include income statements, balance sheets, technical indicators, a Congress stock trading tracker, a 3D globe with real-time conflict zones and natural disasters, bond yield anomaly detection, and macro recession indicators. All AI processing happens on your device.

Question 3

What is the best maths app for primary school children in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Arithmetix covers 48 topics across the full UK National Curriculum from EYFS to Year 6, including dedicated Year 4 times tables practice for the Multiplication Tables Check. Five challenge modes with Game Center leaderboards, spaced repetition, a virtual pet with a full care cycle, and a parent dashboard that detects struggle patterns automatically. Supports colour-blind modes and three languages.

Question 4

What is a safe creative app for kids with no ads?

Accepted Answer

Sparks Studios lets children aged 4-12 draw, write stories, and compose music with on-device AI that assists without taking over. Stories are built collaboratively with age-matched vocabulary. Finished stories become illustrated storybooks with the child's drawings and soundtracks. Drawing supports Apple Pencil with four brush types, and music uses drag-and-drop loops. Nothing is uploaded. Parental controls include session time limits and a maths-gate.

Question 5

How does PhotoFlight track your travels?

Accepted Answer

PhotoFlight scans GPS metadata from your existing photos and builds a travel passport with countries, cities, flights, airlines, and distance stats. It detects trips automatically, estimates flights from GPS jumps, and groups everything into a timeline. Includes 10 achievements, a photo heatmap, percentile benchmarks, and shareable passport cards. All processing is on-device — no new tracking needed.

Question 6

Do BFG apps use subscriptions?

Accepted Answer

BFG uses the pricing model that fits each app. Apps with mostly on-device features typically use a one-time unlock, while apps with ongoing cloud or AI costs may use subscriptions. Kanesh Pro and Sparks Studios Premium use subscriptions, while Arithmetix, Cognithix, PhotoFlight, Cyla, Cloudmesh Weather, and PaceGrid use one-time unlocks. No BFG app uses ads or sells personal data.

Question 7

Are BFG apps actually private, or is that just marketing?

Accepted Answer

Most BFG apps make zero network requests — Sparks Studios, PhotoFlight, Cyla, PaceGrid, Minua, Bellgrave, and Pen Licence are fully on-device. Kanesh connects to fetch public market data but collects nothing about you. Cloudmesh Weather transmits anonymous barometric readings for its optional community mesh. Arithmetix and Cognithix offer optional parent accounts via Firebase for progress sync — a parent email is stored, no per-question answers are uploaded. No BFG app uses advertising SDKs, third-party analytics, or behavioural profiling. See the per-app breakdown on the homepage for the exact picture.

Question 8

What is the best screen time app for kids that rewards learning?

Accepted Answer

Minua lets children earn fun app access by spending time in learning apps chosen by their parent. Parents set a configurable ratio and a daily time window. Built on Apple's own parental controls framework, everything stays on-device with no accounts, no cloud, and no tracking. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Question 9

What is the most private period tracker app?

Accepted Answer

Cyla tracks your cycle entirely on-device with no accounts, no cloud, and no servers. It integrates with Apple Watch wrist temperature data through HealthKit for improved cycle predictions. Your health data is encrypted by iOS and never transmitted anywhere. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Question 10

What is a good running app without a subscription?

Accepted Answer

PaceGrid is a one-time purchase GPS running, cycling, and hiking tracker with Injury Guard training load monitoring to help prevent overtraining injuries. It supports Apple Watch, stores all data on-device, and integrates with Apple Health. No monthly fees, no cloud accounts, no location data sent to servers.

Question 11

What is the best weather app with widgets and no subscription?

Accepted Answer
