## Description

An ad-free talking picture app for babies and toddlers. Tap a picture, hear the word. Six sets, two simple games, zero distractions.

Not Just Because: First Words turns your phone or tablet into a gentle, ad-free talking picture book for babies and toddlers.

Tap any picture and hear the word spoken clearly in a warm, friendly voice. That's it — no points, no timers, no flashing cartoons begging for another tap. Just words, pictures, and your child's curiosity.

SIX PICTURE SETS
- First Words — milk, bottle, ball, book, and early body parts like eyes, nose, and hands
- Farm Animals — horse, cow, pig, sheep, duck, chicken, and more
- Common Animals & Plants — dog, cat, bird, fish, tree, flower
- Vehicles & Construction — car, truck, train, airplane, excavator, crane
- Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures — T. rex, triceratops, stegosaurus, mammoth
- Wild Animals — lion, tiger, elephant, giraffe, zebra, monkey, bear, fox, and more

PLUS LETTERS & NUMBERS
- Uppercase Letters (A–Z) and Lowercase Letters (a–z) — each letter spoken aloud
- Numbers (1–10) — counting made friendly
- Every letter and number appears in several typefaces (rounded, serif, print, and handwriting) so children recognize the shape in any style, not just one font

TWO SIMPLE WAYS TO PLAY
- Free Play — a full board of picture cards; tap any one to hear its word
- Listen & Tap — the app says a word and your child taps the matching picture from two choices, with gentle, encouraging feedback

BUILT FOR LITTLE HANDS
- Locked toddler mode — a hidden press-and-hold gate keeps little fingers in the activity and out of your settings
- Each word appears in several art styles (photo, cartoon, watercolor, line art) to help toddlers connect the idea behind the word, not just one picture
- Big, clear captions under every picture support early readers and grown-ups reading along

MADE FOR PEACE OF MIND
- No ads. No in-app purchases. No third-party tracking.
- No account, no sign-in, and nothing collected. Works fully offline.
- Designed to respect children's privacy.

Not Just Because is a small family of simple, honest learning apps for young children. First Words is where it starts — a calm, screen-time-you-can-feel-good-about way to name the world together.
