We aim to reply within two business days. Please include your device (for example "Samsung Tab A9, Android 14"), the app version, and what you were doing when the problem happened.
Star Quest is on Google Play and the Amazon Appstore for Fire tablets. It is free to download. Families who installed it before 20 October 2026 keep everything open for good. For new installs from 20 October, every storybook and film is free for good and every game is open for a free week for new families; a grown-up can then open the rest with one purchase or a monthly plan. Everything below is bundled inside the app, so nothing is downloaded after installation.
| Games and activities | 36 games in 7 worlds, plus the Talking Cards board, Type to Talk and Bottle Worlds. |
|---|---|
| Watch & Learn | 304 animated learning films (2 h 38 m in total) in 20 topics, with captions on every scene. Free for good. |
| Storybooks | 74 illustrated storybooks (700 pages) with Read To Me narration. Free for good. Plus 17 fill-in-the-blank tales. |
| Talking Cards | A 390-card picture-communication board in 37 categories; every word spoken aloud in English and Spanish. |
| Rewards | Stickers and trophies to earn, 12 heroes, 15 outfits and 6 colour themes. |
| Languages | English and Spanish, switched inside the app. |
| Profiles | Up to 6, stored on the device as names only. |
| Purchases | A one-time unlock or a monthly plan, through Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, behind a grown-ups question. Families who installed Star Quest before 20 October 2026, or bought it before it became free, keep everything. |
| Data | None collected, nothing sent. See the Privacy Policy. |
| Advertising, accounts | None. No ads, no sign-in. |
| Requirements | Android 8.0 or later. Phones run it in landscape; tablets work held either way. |
If Star Quest was first installed before 20 October 2026, everything is open for good and nothing needs a purchase. For new installs from 20 October, every storybook and every Watch & Learn film are free for good, and every game is open for the first week. After the free week, seven games stay free — Letters, Counting, Arrow Escape, Doodle, Balloon Pop, Piano and Talking Cards — and the rest show a lock. A grown-up can open everything with a one-time purchase, or with a monthly plan. The price is shown by Google Play before you buy.
No. If Star Quest was installed on your device before 20 October 2026 — bought while it was a paid app, or downloaded free before that date — everything stays open for good. Android's backup carries that over to a new phone too. If you reinstall on a device that never ran version 6.0 and find games locked, email us with roughly when you bought it, and we will send you an unlock code to enter under "Have a code?" on the unlock page.
On the unlock page (behind the grown-ups question), tap "Already paid? Restore" while signed in to the same Google account. The monthly plan is managed and cancelled in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions; you keep access until the end of the month you paid for.
English and Spanish. The games, the hub, the storybooks, the Talking Cards board and the captions in Watch & Learn are available in both, and you can switch between them inside the app at any time. Spoken Spanish in films and storybooks uses your device's Spanish text-to-speech voice, and a handful of Watch & Learn scenes have English captions only.
Not to play. All of the content is inside the app and plays without a connection. The internet is used only to buy or restore a purchase through Google Play; Star Quest itself sends nothing. A monthly plan keeps working offline for weeks between checks.
Star Quest is listed on Google Play for the 6–8 and 9–12 age groups and carries Google Play's Teacher Approved badge. A good deal of the content — the Talking Cards board, counting, letter tracing, the Calm Corner and many of the storybooks — also suits younger children, while Chess, Star Sling and Drop Four stretch towards the top of the range. Each profile has its own difficulty setting (Easy, Normal or Hard), so children of different ages can share one device.
You can create up to six profiles on one device. A profile is just a name; nothing else is asked for. Each profile keeps its own stars, best scores, stickers, trophies, hero, outfit and difficulty setting, so brothers and sisters do not overwrite each other's progress. Profiles are stored on the device only.
Yes — the Family Room, behind a grown-ups question (a short sum written in words). There a grown-up can hide whole worlds or single games for each child, set an optional age band, difficulty and wind-down timer, see a weekly summary, and rename or remove profiles. Purchases and links out of the app are only behind the same question.
Read To Me in Storybooks and the narration in Watch & Learn use your device's own text-to-speech engine, which is part of Android rather than part of the app. If the voice for your chosen language is not installed, the app opens the system's voice-installer screen so you can add it; you can also do this yourself under Android Settings → System → Languages & input → Text-to-speech (the exact path varies by device). Check that the device's media volume is up, too. The Talking Cards clips are built into the app and do not depend on a system voice, except for 11 short function words that use the text-to-speech voice.
Yes. In Watch & Learn the settings let you set the playback speed from 0.5× to 2×, turn the voice narration on or off, and choose whether films play one after another in order, in random order, or not at all. Captions are shown on every scene whether narration is on or off.
It is a picture-communication board: 390 picture cards in 37 categories, each of which speaks its word when tapped, in English or Spanish. It is there to support a child's own communication — a child who is nonspeaking, or who finds some words hard, can use it alongside their own talking. It is not a therapy tool and makes no claims to treat or cure anything.
Star Quest has no export or transfer feature of its own, and no account to sign into. The only route is Android's own device backup: if backup is turned on in Android settings on the old device, the app's saved progress may be restored along with your other apps when you set up the new device from that backup. We cannot recover progress that was not backed up this way, because it exists only on the device. Purchases are kept by Google Play and can be restored on the new device.
Uninstall the app, or open Android Settings → Apps → Star Quest → Storage → Clear storage. Either removes every profile, all progress and all settings. Star Quest sends nothing to us, so there is nothing to delete anywhere else.
Purchases are made through Google Play, and refunds are handled by Google under its refund policy. You can request one from your Google Play order history. We do not see or process payments ourselves, so we cannot issue a refund directly — but if something is wrong with the app, please email us and we will try to fix it.
Android 8.0 or later. On phones the app runs in landscape; on tablets and unfolded Folds it also works held upright. It is not available on iPhone or iPad.
If something is wrong — a game misbehaves, a translation reads oddly, a voice will not play, a purchase does not open the games, or the app crashes — please tell us. Email support@plapl.app with your device model, Android version, the app version, and what you were doing when it happened.
Star Quest collects nothing: no accounts, no ads, and nothing is sent from the app. The full statement is here: Privacy Policy.
