Under Amazon's latest guidelines for all Amazon Kids+ apps, login and sign-up functionality is prohibited, so login and sign-up features have been removed from the Amazon Kids+ versions of Teach Your Monster apps.
Understanding Amazon’s platforms
Amazon has two platforms for apps:
Amazon Appstore (regular version).
Amazon Kids+ (Kids+ version).
Teach Your Monster apps are available on both platforms.
What does this mean for you?
If you downloaded our apps using an Amazon Kids+ subscription you will still be able to use the apps and play using monsters on your device. However you will no longer be able to login or create a new Teach Your Monster account from within the Amazon Kids+ versions of our apps as per Amazon’s new guidelines. This means you won't be able to play with the monsters from your Kids+ device on other devices.
If you purchased our apps through the Amazon App Store (as opposed to using an Amazon Kids+ subscription) this change will not affect you at all.
You can still login to your Teach Your Monster account on other platforms: You can still login to your account or sign up on other platforms, such as Apple, Google Play, Amazon’s regular Appstore, or on our website at teachyourmonster.org.
If you were logged into our apps on Amazon Kids+, here’s how to keep playing with your saved data:
If you were playing a Teach Your Monster app on the Amazon Kids+ platform, and had logged in to your account in order to play, then as long as your device was connected to the internet, your player’s progress should be saved to your Teach Your Monster account, allowing you to carry on playing with that player on other platforms.
Important note: You won’t be able to update your save data on the Amazon Kids+ versions of our apps from January 2025. You can continue to play, however you won’t be able to play with the same player across multiple devices or on other platforms.
Connected to Wi-Fi? Your save data should have synced to the cloud, allowing you to access the same save on other platforms (including the Amazon Appstore version, just not the Amazon Kids+ platform).
If you log out of your Teach Your Monster account on Amazon Kids+:
Once you log out of your player account on the Amazon Kids+ platform, you will no longer be able to access that account via the Amazon Kids+ versions of our Teach Your Monster apps as per Amazon’s latest guidelines.
FAQs
Do I need to buy the app on the Amazon Appstore?
No, purchasing the Teach Your Monster app on the Amazon Appstore is not necessary. If you have an active Amazon Kids+ subscription, any apps we have on the Amazon Kids+ platform will remain available to you and you will still be able to play. However, as outlined above, you will no longer have access to login or sign-up features within our apps on the Amazon Kids+ platform.
How can I play with the same player account across multiple devices?
To use the same Teach Your Monster player account across multiple devices, you’ll need to play on platforms other than Amazon Kids+, as Amazon’s policy for Amazon Kids+ prohibits logins and sign-ups.
