What families are saying
Educational excellence
“This app has such a wide variety of features that are both engaging and fun for children! Love the dinosaur pack”
— kula131 · App StoreWonderful app
“In a world where apps are meant for mindless scrolling, Wild Atlas stands apart. It is fun, educational, and beautiful. It’s not really a game, it’s more of an animal encyclopedia for kids. It’s the only app I let my 3 year old play.”
— chu.c.me · App StoreNot brain rot!
“This is actually a good game that teaches kids facts about animals without a bunch of addictive tricks many games use to compensate for being otherwise boring.”
— Happy Campering · App StoreGentle yet informative, my whole family loves it.
“Wild Atlas kept my four year old busy while we were waiting at the carwash for 2 hours!!! I think it held her attention because she was actually learning and her brain was stimulated rather than the overstimulation of so many of the fast moving noisy games out there. My seven year old loved the more advanced levels and started to recite facts about different species of cats, her favorite animal.”
— LadyLeggs · App Store“The kids ask for my phone at least daily to play Wild Atlas. They are constantly telling each other ‘did you know some lizards have a third eye on top of their head to look for predators.’ Highly recommend — it’s free.”

For Immediate Release
Wild Atlas, a Narrated Animal Discovery App for Children, Launches Globally in Six Languages
Built solo over four months by the son of South Africa's celebrated conservation documentary filmmakers, Wild Atlas gives children documentary-style animal content — and parents screen time they can hand over without worry.
SEATTLE, WA — June 10, 2026 — Wild Atlas, an animal discovery app for children aged 3 and up, is available today on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Across twelve animal packs and six languages, the app brings narrated, documentary-style facts, games, quizzes, and exploration to young children — with no subscription, no advertising, and no algorithmic feed.
Think of it as a hyper-malleable podcast for kids aged 3 to 9 — audio-first, self-directed, completely non-linear. Leave narration on and a child who can't yet read explores entirely on their own; turn it off and read along together.
Wild Atlas is the work of Joshuah Vincent, a Seattle-based product builder. He grew up on his parents' conservation film shoots in the South African veld. As a parent, he spent years looking for an app that could do the same for his own kids — something that made the natural world genuinely fascinating, that a child could explore alone or with a parent beside them. Nothing quite got there. A family expedition through Botswana in early 2026, taken partly in memory of his late father, made the search feel urgent. He came home and built it.
"My parents spent their lives in the bush, making it accessible to people through film. I grew up on those shoots, in the South African veld, learning about animals and why they're worth knowing. When I started looking for an app I could hand my own kids — something cinematic and delightful, with no ads and no junk food video — I couldn't find one. So I built it, with my kids and other families shaping it at every step."
— Joshuah Vincent, founder, Wild Atlas
The entire app — its architecture, a visual library of more than 1,000 illustrations across 236 animals, fully narrated content in six languages, and a complete content download and update system — was built solo by Joshuah, with AI as a teammate, over four months.
A hidden pack — the Mythical Menagerie, featuring eighteen creatures from world folklore — can be unlocked by finding the hidden shooting stars triggered throughout the app over multiple sessions.
In early testing, an eight-year-old who "hardly uses devices in general" tried Wild Atlas and had one word: "Addictive." On TestFlight, users opened the app an average of seven times each — before the app was finished.
Wild Atlas is COPPA-compliant and collects no personal data.
