Made for a toddler's hand
Nothing to read. Nothing to break.
- The word plays the moment a finger lands. Small children press and hold; they still hear it.
- Grown-up things need a grown-up. Buying takes a deliberate press-and-hold, and settings sit behind a quick sum.
- Hold a card to save it. A child's favourite words collect under the star.
- Hear it in English too. One switch plays each word's English, for families learning together.
Families like yours
Seven families, drawn with care.
Parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, and the children in Actions and Feelings, in a range of skin tones and everyday clothes. Each language starts with one family; in the grown-ups area you can choose another, or meet a different family every day.
Words you can trust
Checked, word by word.
Every language gets the same 100 first words: the ones young children learn first, like mama, milk, dog and ball. The words are checked against published dictionaries, language by language, and every recording goes through a listening test, so the word your child hears is the word it should be.

Questions parents ask
Who is First100 for?
Children from about 1 to 4, and the grown-ups beside them. A child touches a picture and hears the word; there is nothing to read and nothing a small finger can tap that leaves the app.
What is free, and what do purchases unlock?
Animals, Colors, Family and Food & Drink are free in every language. $2.99 unlocks all 12 categories in one language, and $7.99 unlocks them in every language. Each is a one-time purchase: no subscription, no ads.
Does it need the internet?
No. Every picture and every word is inside the app, so it works on a plane or with no signal.
Where do the words come from?
100 first words in every language, taken from the vocabulary young children learn first and checked language by language against published dictionaries.
Who speaks the words?
A clear, natural-sounding voice chosen for each language, checked with a listening test so each word sounds like itself.
Do the pictures show families like mine?
The app has seven families. Each language starts with one, and in the grown-ups area you can pick another family or show a different one each day.
Does the app collect anything about my child?
No accounts, no ads and no tracking in the app. Purchases go through Apple.
Is it on Android?
Not yet. First100 is on iPhone and iPad first.
