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.
