Simple answers for a gentle little app.
Can my child use it alone?
The controls are designed for small hands, but the story is especially lovely when a child and grown-up explore it together.
Does the app collect data?
No. There are no accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking. Read the full answer on our Privacy page.
Which devices are supported?
There Once Was a Whale is designed for iPhone and iPad. After it is installed, the complete story works without an internet connection.
