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.
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.
Is it on Android?
Not yet. First100 is on iPhone and iPad first.
