Now and Next Lite app for iPhone and iPad

Now and Next cards, sometimes referred to as “First - Then”, are a visual communication tool that allow you to articulate a current activity - “now” and the one following it - “next”. This enables and supports communication at a variety of ages and learning developmental stages.

Now and Next Lite lets you quickly create cards for every aspect of a day, enabling communication and structure in an engaging and visual way.  
Featuring over 60 activities ranging from daily home life to school, and the ability to create your own custom activities featuring your own images, a vocabulary of activities can quickly be built and re-used.
To aid with understanding, activities can optionally read aloud their name when tapped and be grouped in custom categories.

The unique Time Line feature enables you to take existing cards and create a time line of activities with cards moving on automatically after an adjustable amount of time - perfect for providing a structured set of activities. Disabled by default, a friendly sound can be enabled to notify you that an activity has changed.

For peace of mind, or to easily set up an additional device, you can backup and restore all your created activities, cards and custom categories.
