Bucky for Android
Bucky is a video app for kids where screen time is earned, not given. Kids watch only the videos a parent approved, and every minute costs a few Popcorn Pals that they earn in short, friendly lessons: adding, times tables and Polish spelling. No ads of its own, no autoplay, and it works without an account.
Version 0.0.0, for 64-bit Android phones and tablets
iPhone and iPad: coming soon. Test builds through TestFlight are available on request.
How to install
- Download. Open this page on your Android phone or tablet and tap the button above.
- Open the file. Tap the download in the notification, or find bucky-latest.apk in your Downloads.
- Allow the install. The first time, Android asks to allow installing apps from this source (your browser or the Files app). Turn on "Allow from this source" and go back.
- Install and open. Tap Install, then Open. The first time you open parent mode, you choose a PIN.
Android will warn you that the app is not from the Play Store. That is expected: Bucky isn't in the store yet. If Play Protect asks, choose "More details" and then "Install anyway".
To update, download the newest file from this page and install it over the old one. Pals, kids and settings stay where they are.
