How to Manage Settings

This topic applies to the LittleSEED Student App only.

To view and change the settings, go to the “My Children” page and click on Settings. Parents must re-authenticate by entering their account credentials (email and password) used to log into the app.


  • The parent may change the picture of his/her child by tapping on the camera icon below the child's avatar. The parent may use the device's camera to take a photo of the child and save it or select a photo from the file. The parent may also update their child's information here.

The app needs permission to access photos, media, and other files on the device to use the Change Picture functionality.

  • The Playback Mode selection allows parents to select the playing mode of LittleSEED content. Parents may either choose to download all the content to the device before playing or play content directly from the internet. This setting is further explained in the next section.

  • By default, the App is set to Only Download Content on Wi-Fi. This restricts the app to only download content files when the Internet is accessible through Wi-Fi. If this option is disabled, the app may download content files whenever the device is connected to the Internet, including via data or a mobile network, which may result in mobile data charges based on your carrier.

  • Code base login is possible if it is defined by the school administrator. Enable Allow Login via Code to view the Code login option on the login page.

  • The content files are downloaded on an as-needed basis in the background. These downloads do not affect the app's responsiveness. You may check the current download status of each content file by tapping the Download Manager button.

  • The devices using the LittleSEED Student App under the user's account can be managed by the Device Manager button.

The additional information on these settings is explained later in the guide.

How to Choose Playback Mode

It is recommended to use the Stream from the Internet option if you have a high-capacity Internet connection.

Clicking on the What is this? will display the information related to the playback mode selection feature of the LittleSEED Student App.

How to Manage Download Content

The Download Manager displays all sets that are available for children registered under the parent account. It lists the total file size. Storage information is displayed at the top as:

  • Device capacity: Total device storage
  • LittleSEED Content: Space occupied by the content.
  • Remaining Capacity: Available space

The download status is displayed on the right side of the content.

  • If the contents of a set are downloaded to a device the total number of downloaded files will match the number of available files. For example, 5/5 means all five files have been downloaded.

  • If the contents of a set are not downloaded or only partially downloaded, the number of downloaded files will not match the number of available files. For example, 3/5 means only three out of the five available files have been downloaded. The other two are pending.

  • You can delete the downloaded files and re-download them when needed. Click on the X and then select Yes to confirm deletion. Once deleted, the number of downloaded files will change to zero. For example, 0/31 means that no files have been downloaded.


Parents may manually start downloading a set content or remove the content of a previous set by tapping the arrow/cross button on the right side of the download manager. We recommend content files be removed if the child has practiced the set and no longer needed for reference.

The removed set content can be downloaded again if needed.

The 'Device Manager' displays all devices currently associated with a specific user account in the LittleSEED Student App.
