AN enterprising 10-year-old whose sister was struggling with literacy has developed a social media app for children.

Noah Dance came up with the idea of DiaryZapp after little sis Ella, seven, was asked by her school to keep a diary last summer.

He thought the task would be more fun if it could be done digitally – and now his interactive app has been launched.

Kids can write diary entries, draw pictures and add photos to share with friends and family – as long as mum and dad have approved it.

It’s cyber-secure and each user has a Zappicon character that they name and style and it prompts the diarists about what to write and also makes suggestions.

Noah and Ellla live in Wimborne with parents Jon and Charlie who helped make the app a reality.

Noah, who attends Dumpton School, said: “Rather than just write in a diary I thought it would be more fun and interesting to do it on a tablet.

“I had an idea of an app that would allow you to add drawings and photos and be able to share with friends.

“My sister was struggling with her writing and I thought this would help as well as being something for everybody to use.

The app costs £3.99 to download and that gives access to five users.
