By using SpeakStar ("the app"), provided by Sakura5, you agree to these terms.

## License

We grant you a personal, non-transferable license to use the app on your Apple devices, subject to the App Store Terms of Service.

## Price

SpeakStar is free in full: it has no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall and no advertising.

## For children, with a parent

SpeakStar is designed for children roughly 4 to 10 years old, and we assume a parent or guardian sets it up and agrees to these terms on the child's behalf. Please help your child with the first run, and with the microphone permission in particular.

## No educational guarantee

SpeakStar reports which words of a sentence a speech recogniser heard and awards stars for an attempt. It is practice, not assessment: it does not measure individual phonemes, it does not certify a level of English, and we make no guarantee about learning outcomes.

## Third-party content

The 44 IPA reference recordings are used under CC BY-SA 3.0 or as public-domain material from Wikimedia Commons, and are credited inside the app. Those recordings remain under their own licences; the rest of the app's content is ours and is licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use inside the app.

## Acceptable use

Use the app lawfully and don't attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer it.

## Disclaimer

The app is provided "as is" without warranties. AI-generated content may be inaccurate; review it before relying on it.
