Question 8

Can my child use YearWise on their own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After signing in as a parent, you choose which child profile is practising from the profile selection screen. YearWise enters child mode, hiding account settings and administrative options. You can optionally set a 4-digit parent PIN so children cannot switch back to the parent account view without it.

Question 9

How do I add a child profile?

Accepted Answer

After creating an account, you will be guided to set up your first child profile — just enter their nickname and school year. To add another child later, open the profile switcher in the top navigation bar and tap "Add child". Each child gets their own separate progress, XP, badges and streak. The Family plan supports up to 3 child profiles.

Question 10

How do I manage profile settings?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings (visible in the top nav after entering parent mode). From there you can rename a child profile, set or change your parent PIN, set or change a child's own PIN, delete a child profile (type the child's name to confirm), and delete your entire account. Subscription and billing can also be managed from the same page.

Question 11

Can I delete a child's data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can delete any child profile instantly from the Settings page. This permanently removes their profile, all practice history, XP and badges. You will be asked to type the child's name to confirm before anything is deleted.

Question 12

How does YearWise generate questions?

Accepted Answer

YearWise uses Claude AI by Anthropic to generate varied curriculum-aligned questions for each topic. Questions are drawn from a growing bank and reviewed to align with the UK primary school curriculum.
