The downloadable DoodleConnect app

Next, you'll need to tap on the region toggle and select which country's server you wish to interact with, depending upon where you are located in the world. There are four options to choose from, UK, USA, EU and Rest of the world.
Then, use your parent Doodle login details to sign into the DoodleConnect app. (If you are a parent of a school subscriber, please make sure that you have linked your parent email address to your child’s school account first - for information on how to do that, please see here).
Along the bottom you will see a menu bar. Here you can switch between Analysis, Notifications, Help and Settings.
Analysis
Within this section you will see be able to see:
Your child's weekly star target and whether they are within their green zone or not
The number of DoodleStars earned each day and their current streak
Your child's progress analysis - the % of end of year objects covered and their current DoodleAge will be clearly displayed. If a goal has been set, this will be show as a green line on the chart. Tap on the little square icon in the top right hand corner to expand the chart and for more information.
If you child is currently completing a Baseline Assessment, you'll see an additional tile below the Target tile. You'll see how many lessons your child will need to complete for their Baseline Assessment, how many of those lessons have/have not already been completed and how many DoodleStars have been earned since entering into Baseline Assessment mode.
If you have more than one child, make sure you switch between users by tapping on the arrows at the top, and be sure you tap on the corresponding icon to switch between subjects.
