SOFIO: KIDS LEARN & PLAY
Little discoveries. Familiar voices.

Sofio is an illustrated discovery game for iPhone and iPad. Ricardo Ferreira created it for his daughter. A grown-up adds voice recordings before playing, making the animal and vehicle worlds personal to the family.

HOW IT WORKS
For each subject, a grown-up records a name with a little fact for EXPLORE and a separate clue for FIND IT!
In EXPLORE, tapping a subject plays the recording.
In FIND IT!, children listen to a clue, choose the matching picture and hear the name-and-fact recording again.
Personalized narration is not automatically supplied. Suggested phrases help adults start recording.

WORLDS AND COSTS
Farm Animals and Vehicles are included free.
Dinosaurs, Aquatic Animals, House Animals, Wild Animals and Insects are optional one-time purchases.
Seven worlds, eight subjects per world.
No advertising, subscriptions or child accounts.
The interface is English. Families can record their own words and language.
Recordings remain on the device and are not uploaded to the developer; device backups may include app data.

VOICE AND ART DISCLOSURES
The voice demo uses an AI-generated adult voice for this promotional video. It is not a parent testimonial, and the narration is not automatically included in Sofio. Families add their own recordings inside the app.
Both videos end with a separate AI-generated promotional illustration based on Sofio's art references. That end card is not a gameplay screenshot.
Suggested accompanying disclosure: "Demo voice created with AI for this video. In Sofio, families add their own recordings in the parent area; this narration is not included automatically."

Reviewers can try the two included worlds and both play modes without buying an additional world. Independent assessment is welcome; no positive rating or verdict is requested. No clinical outcomes, awards or third-party endorsements are claimed.

Prepared 20 October 2026. This version supersedes the 19 October press kit for future handoffs. Earlier submissions are not being resent automatically.
