Now and Next app

Now and Next is a visual schedule app for iPhone and iPad, created by parents to help children see what is happening now and what comes next. Designed for use at home, school, nursery and therapy, it turns routines, transitions and choices into clear visual prompts that can be easier to understand than spoken instructions alone.

Users can create Now and Next or First/Then boards, picture choices and longer visual timetables. The app includes more than 60 built-in activities, with options to add personal photos, custom wording and unlimited activities in the full version. Cards can be personalised with colours and familiar images, and activities can be read aloud using a chosen voice. Spoken support and built-in activity names are available in six languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Italian.

Now and Next is offered as a one-time purchase with no subscription or adverts in the full app. Family Sharing supports up to six family members. A free Lite version is available to try, with limits and advertising.
