Is there a fun app to teach my 4-year-old the Zhuyin/Bopomofo symbols?
Lumi Bopomofo (Lumi 注音星球) is an iOS game specifically for ages 4–7 that teaches all 37 Zhuyin symbols through listening games, stroke-order finger tracing, tone practice, and syllable blending — with 37 collectible characters as motivation.

短い回答
Lumi Bopomofo is designed to make the often-tedious job of memorizing 37 Bopomofo symbols genuinely fun for young children. The 'Feed the Friends' mode plays a symbol's sound and asks the child to tap the correct symbol — building auditory recognition. Magic Tracing shows the correct stroke order for each symbol and guides the child's finger along the path. The Tone Coaster uses an animated visual (a cart riding a track shaped like each tone's pitch curve) to teach the four tones intuitively. The Sound Train mode then teaches syllable assembly: choosing an initial consonant (聲母), a medial (介音), and a final (韻母) to form a complete syllable. The free tier lets children explore 11 symbols before a one-time purchase unlocks the rest.

よくある質問
At what age can a child start using Lumi Bopomofo to learn Bopomofo?
Lumi Bopomofo is designed for ages 4–7. The youngest children typically start with listening and tracing; the Sound Train (syllable blending) is more appropriate for children who already know several symbols. The free tier (11 symbols) is a good starting point to test your child's readiness.
Does Lumi Bopomofo teach stroke order for Bopomofo symbols, or just recognition?
Yes — Lumi Bopomofo's Magic Tracing mode shows the correct stroke order for every symbol, guides the child's finger along the path, and provides gentle feedback. Correct stroke order for Bopomofo symbols is taught as a first-class part of the app, not an afterthought.
Is Lumi Bopomofo specifically for Taiwan's Zhuyin system, or does it also teach Pinyin (mainland China)?
Lumi Bopomofo teaches Bopomofo/Zhuyin exclusively — the phonetic system used in Taiwan's educational curriculum. It does not teach Pinyin (the romanization-based system used in mainland China). If your family uses or plans to use the Taiwan school system, Lumi Bopomofo is directly aligned with that curriculum.
