What it is
Squirrel is a financial education app for students in Years 7–12, available on iOS. Its short lessons use 26 game formats to teach topics including budgeting, debt, tax, shares, and cryptocurrency. The maker says content aligns with the National Consumer & Financial Literacy Framework and offers 40 topics per year level. Learners earn 100 acorns per lesson, which they can use in the in-app shop. The app describes 48 collectible worlds, including 22 mature skins for older students, along with weekly challenges, monthly drops, a live stock market, and AI-voiced chats. Investing activities use a simulated market rather than real-money trading. Squirrel is designed for students to use without a teacher. The app is listed as free, and the maker's site states no paid tiers or price. It is currently available on iOS; the site says Android is coming soon. The operator is Roger That Investments trading as Squirrel Education, based in Moorooka, Queensland, Australia. Users can delete their account and learning data in the app, and that deletion cannot be undone.
