How can we help?

Four, all for iPhone: Project Countdown (countdowns and widgets), Puhu (on-device voice to clean text), Color Me (photos into printable colouring pages) and Hobbyholic (find a hobby worth starting). Each has its own page here with its own privacy policy and terms.

No. None of the apps has accounts, logins or profiles. There is nothing to sign up for and no password to forget — you download the app and start using it.

It differs per app, so the honest answer is "read the one you use". In short: Color Me collects nothing at all. Puhu works entirely on your device and keeps only local data, plus optional anonymous crash reports. Hobbyholic has no accounts, analytics or tracking and keeps your picks on your device, but it does load photos from Unsplash and uses Apple's weather and maps services for its paid features. Project Countdown is ad-supported on the free tier, so it does collect advertising identifiers through Google AdMob, plus anonymous crash reports. Full detail: Project Countdown, Puhu, Color Me, Hobbyholic.

Your actual content — what you say, the photos you pick, the hobbies you like — stays on your device. Puhu's speech-to-text runs entirely on the iPhone and uploads nothing. Color Me processes photos on-device. Hobbyholic keeps your picks, check-ins, mood and kid-mode answers locally, though the app does fetch hobby photos from Unsplash and sends your location to Apple when you use the weather or nearby-places features. Project Countdown can sync your countdowns through your own private iCloud account, which we have no access to.

Each app is free to download. Project Countdown's free tier shows ads, and a Premium upgrade removes them and unlocks the full theme set. Hobbyholic is free with a one-time "Unlock Everything" purchase (€3.99) that lifts the saved-hobby limit and adds reminders, trends, nearby places, all of Explore and the kid quiz — it is a one-off purchase, not a subscription. Current pricing for every app is always whatever the App Store listing says.

Sign in with the same Apple ID you bought it with, then use the app's "Restore Purchases" option in Settings. Purchases are tied to your Apple ID rather than to any account with us, so nothing needs to be transferred — and if a restore doesn't take, email us.

Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us — we never see your payment details and can't issue one. Request it at reportaproblem.apple.com with the Apple ID you purchased from. If the reason was something broken in the app, tell us too so we can fix it.

Delete the app. Because the apps store your data on your device rather than on a server, that removes it — there is no account of yours sitting on our side to close. For Project Countdown, anything synced to iCloud is removed through your iCloud storage settings, which are yours to control.

In Project Countdown: long-press your Home Screen until the apps jiggle, tap the '+' icon in the top corner, search for "Project Countdown", and pick Small, Medium or Large.

Yes — Project Countdown syncs your countdowns across iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own private iCloud account. It travels between your devices and Apple, never through us, and we never have access to it.

Check that your device isn't on Silent Mode or in a Focus, then open iOS Settings → Notifications → the app, and confirm both notifications and Sounds are allowed. For Project Countdown, "Allow Critical Alerts" also needs to be on for time-sensitive reminders.

Which app and which iPhone and iOS version, what you did just before it went wrong, and what you expected instead. A screenshot or screen recording is worth a page of description. Send it to peraresearch1@gmail.com.

Puhu ships with full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support. If you hit an accessibility problem in any Pera app, please email us and say what got in your way — those reports go to the front of the queue.
