MotioSprout, from the same studio as OneDayOneWord: every word has its simply written definition and its illustration. Your child looks up a word, reads the definition, listens to it, and taps the words they don’t know yet.
Here are three real entries from the catalogue: the word, its definition and its illustration, exactly as your child will see them.
/kæt/
It's a small, soft and cuddly animal that meows and likes to play with yarn.

/ˈbʊk/

Excerpt from the published catalogue. The app downloads the full dictionary the first time it is opened.
Type the first letters: suggestions appear as you go.
A short sentence, written for a child, with an illustration for every word.
Inside a definition, an unknown word opens in turn: your child is never stuck.
The definition is read aloud with the device’s voice, on a phone or tablet that has one.
French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German: the interface and the definitions follow the chosen language.
After the first sync, the dictionary can be used without a network connection.
100 words available without paying anything, then a one-time purchase to unlock the whole dictionary. No subscription, no ads.
MotioSprout is aimed at children aged 6 to 10, for independent use: your child looks up a word, reads or listens to the definition and looks at the illustration on their own.
The app is in preparation. It will launch first on Android (Google Play): nothing is online yet, so this page offers no download link.
100 words are available without paying anything. A one-time purchase unlocks the whole dictionary: no subscription, no ads.
A connection is required on the first launch, to download the dictionary. After that, it can be used offline.
French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German: the interface, the definitions and the audio playback follow the chosen language.
It asks for no account: the dictionary is downloaded and then used on the device, and the purchase is handled by Google Play. See the privacy policy.
