Parents across Scotland are increasingly concerned about the educational app Sumdog, which is used in schools for teaching math to children aged five to 14. Issues have been raised regarding excessive screen time and privacy, particularly after Sumdog was withdrawn from some primary schools in the Scottish Borders due to complaints. Parents in Glasgow and Fife expressed frustration over the app's competition format, which rewards students based on the time spent on the app rather than their actual performance. One parent criticized the lack of teacher supervision, noting that children often rush through questions just to access game rewards. Privacy concerns also emerged, as parents discovered that personal information, including full names and school details, is collected by the app. The Scottish government has been urged to implement guidelines to limit screen time for young children, similar to those being developed in England. Meanwhile, local councils maintain that Sumdog is an optional resource and that parents are responsible for managing screen time at home.
