Real words, said out loud
Every card has a warm recorded voice, so a child who cannot read yet still hears the word, sees it spelled, and gets cheered for saying it back.

Product tour
What does Yumbo include?
One job per screen. Tap a capability to see it.
Feature 1
Feed Yumbo, hear the word
Tap a card or slide it up into Yumbo's mouth. He gulps it down, the picture fills the screen, and a warm voice says the word while the animal or thing answers with its own little sound.
Why Yumbo?
Faster to value. Harder to abandon.
Speed to value plus privacy-first defaults—so the first session earns the install.
Nothing to set up, nothing to sell
No account, no ads, no data, no internet. Hand it to a toddler and walk away: nothing on the screen can be bought, opened or tapped into the wider world.
Two moves a toddler already knows
Tap a card, or slide it up into the robot's mouth. If the child pauses, Yumbo asks for a card in his own voice, so the app teaches itself.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions people ask right before they hit Download.
Toddlers aged about two to four who are collecting their first words, and the grown-ups who sit beside them. There is nothing to read and nothing to set up: a child opens the app, feeds Yumbo a card and hears the word.
No. Yumbo has no account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no network use on any screen. The only thing it stores is whether the sound is on, and that stays on the device.
No. The say-it-back moment is a cue and a cheer, not a recording. Yumbo never accesses the microphone, never performs speech recognition, and never asks for microphone permission, so iOS never shows that prompt.
Yes, completely. Every picture, word, prompt and sound ships inside the app, so it works on a plane, in the car or anywhere without internet. Yumbo makes no network connections at all.
200 everyday first words in eleven sets: pets and farm, wild and zoo, water friends, little bugs, things that go, yummy food, at home, dress up, my body, outside and sky, and toys and music. A strip of little faces on the home screen picks a set; Yumbo always reopens on all words.
Yes. iPad gets its own layout with bigger cards and characters, always full screen and always upright, so a small hand cannot rotate the app or shrink it into a floating window.
