Built a free spelling app for kids (5 to 11) as a side project no ads, no monetisation yet, just trying to see if it’s actually useful before developing it further.

The problem I keep hitting: every community I try either bans self-promotion outright or removes posts with links. I’ve got something working and genuinely want critical feedback from parents and teachers, but I can’t seem to get it in front of them.
What actually worked for you early on? Particularly if your target users aren’t on typical tech forums.

Not sure I am allowed to share the link but happy to if required
