Now and Next Lite is now ad-free We’ve removed all ads from Now and Next Lite for everyone, whether or not you have unlocked the full version. The optional one-time purchase still unlocks unlimited activity and choice cards, unlimited custom activities, and backup and restore. It is no longer needed to remove ads. Clearer transitions, and a second chance when something goes wrong Prompts are now Choice Cards The same easy way to offer two or three activities and let someone choose one—just with a clearer name. Hear what’s happening next Turn on Play voice on activity tap in Settings and children can tap an activity to hear it spoken aloud. Choose a voice under Select voice: Apple’s Enhanced and Premium voices are free where supported, though some need a one-time download in iOS Accessibility settings. Make transitions clearer Turn on Show arrow between activities and an arrow pointing from Now towards Next replaces the line on activity cards, including in the Time Line. Shake to Undo Deleted something by mistake? Shake your iPhone or iPad and tap Undo to bring back the card, choice card, Time Line card or activity you just removed, right where it was. Shake again to undo the deletion before that. Ask before deleting Now and Next now checks before deleting a card, choice card, Time Line card or activity, so a slip of the finger won’t lose your work. It’s on for everyone; to delete straight away, turn off Confirm before deleting in Settings. A fresh look for activities The built-in activities have a new Gentle Storybook picture style. Switch between the original and new styles in Settings; if you already use the app, your current style stays until you choose to change it. There are also six new Home activities, in both styles: Wash Hands, Shoes On, Shower, Homework, Coat On and Sensory Break. More room on iPhone • Ready for iPhone Duo: activities, cards and color choices adapt to the cover screen and the larger unfolded screen. • A new setting, Always show cards in landscape, keeps activity, Time Line and choice cards in landscape even when your iPhone is held upright. • Choosing a card color with your iPhone on its side shows the preview beside the whole palette, with no scrolling. Also in this update • Spoken activities start promptly and clearly, and the latest tap is always the one you hear. • On iPhone, an open choice card now matches the way you are holding the phone. • Corrections to the help pages, and small fixes throughout.

Now and Next in your language The app follows your device language in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Italian, including the names of the built-in activities. Activities, cards and categories you created keep the words you typed. Also in this update • Backing up and restoring is more dependable, and a restore brings back your custom activities, categories and Time Line exactly as they were. • Clearer headings and better contrast in Settings and when choosing a voice. • Small fixes throughout.

- Custom activities have been redesigned with a much friendlier interface. You can now scale and rotate images for the perfect framing. - Category management has moved to the custom activity edit screen - you can now also hide empty categories in the settings menu - On supported devices you can now use Image Playground within the app to create custom activities - You can now edit any card, simply tap the pencil icon at the top left to get started. - Every Activity card can now have unique text for Now/Next - simply tap the 'text' button the create/edit screen to set custom values.

Colours have landed! When creating a card you can now choose from a selection of preset colours and gradients, or make your own! If you're using the voice feature to speak an activity or prompt you can now choose from a selection of voices from the settings screen. Unfortunately we've had to drop iOS12 support, iOS15 is now required for new updates.

The close button on Prompt cards was sitting too close to the prompt text on Plus and Max devices, it's now back where it should be on the right hand side.

Quick fix to make dark edged prompt card images look a little nicer

We've added Prompts - these are simple cards that allow you to customise a question, select 2 to 3 activities and have the chosen option highlighted. Great for providing choice without an overwhelming selection of options. Search for your favourite cards and activities. We've enabled search/filtering in almost all areas of the app, now you quickly find the card or activity you want without endless scrolling. Even easier card creation. We heard you, the grey + on the activity card builder looks like it should be tapped, and now it can be! You can still use the old drag & drop technique but we hope this makes the card creation processes faster and simpler. We've also fixed a few bugs and made it so you don't need to wait for the voice over to finish before tapping another activity.
