ご意見・ご感想をお待ちしています！… more - 📦Japan Picture Book for Kids updated to version 1.1.14iOS- 6 new categories
"Jobs", "Around Town", "Kindergarten", "Feelings", "Actions" and "Opposites" add 165 words, for a total of 61 categories and 1,527 words. "Opposites" shows pairs like "big / small" side by side on one card.

- 📦Japan Picture Book for Kids updated to version 1.1.13iOS・「こえひろい」が図鑑を開いている間ずっと声をひろうようになりました
これまでは録音モードの「せーの！」のときだけでしたが、図鑑を見ながらつぶやいた声や、タイミングが合わなかった声も自動でひろって「こえの受信箱」に入れます。おうちのかたが後から聞いて、残したい声だけを「こえアルバム」へ移せます。声が長く続いても途中で切らず「つづき」として保存します。ひろう範囲は設定の「こえ」から「録音モードのときだけ」に変えたり、オフにしたりできます。声は端末の中だけに保存され、ホームに戻るとひろうのをやめます。
・ひろった声に「きこえたことば」を添えました
端末の中だけで文字にして、受信箱の各クリップに参考として表示します。アプリの読み上げ音と子どもの声を区別する目安にもなります。あくまで参考で、小さい子の声は正しく文字にならないことがあります。
・カテゴリ「きせつ」を新設、「ぎょうじ」を作り直しました
「きせつぎょうじ」を2つに分け、「きせつ」26語（春夏秋冬の花・生き物・食べ物など）を新しく追加しました。「ぎょうじ」はお正月・ひなまつり・七夕・運動会など行事26語に絞り、写真を角丸・丸・アーチの額装で見せるようにしました。

・写真を作り直しました
にちじょうの「しょくたく」「だいどころ」「こうえん」、まちの新幹線、モノレールを差し替えました。
・かぞくの呼び名をクイズと録音モードでも使うようになりました
登録した呼び名や録音した声が、「どれかな？」クイズや「せーの！」のお手本でも流れます。バックアップからの追加とりこみで、かぞくの登録も統合されます。
・そのほか

About Japan Picture Book for Kids
Japan Picture Book for Kids is a picture-dictionary app for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2+). Children tap realistic illustrations to hear each word read aloud — in English or Japanese — while exploring Japan, Japanese words, and everyday culture. It looks and feels like a real printed picture encyclopedia.
■ 1,240 words across 52 categories
Animals, dinosaurs, vehicles, food, fruits, vegetables, sushi, fish, insects, flowers, space, musical instruments, road signs, town symbols, hiragana, katakana, the alphabet, and much more. From everyday favorites to encyclopedia-worthy deep-sea creatures, there is always something new to discover.
■ Simple enough for little hands
Tap a picture and hear its name — no menus, no tricky controls, nothing to get lost in. The あ/A button switches between Japanese and English at any time, making the app a gentle first introduction to Japanese for English-speaking families, or to English for Japanese-speaking families.
■ Packed with playful ways to learn
- "Which one?" quiz: listen to a word, then find and tap it on the page. Wrong answers bring friendly hints — no penalties, ever
- "What's that sound?" quiz: guess what makes the sound you hear, building listening skills
- Sounds mode: tap to hear lifelike animal calls and vehicle sounds
- Recording mode: listen to the example, then record your own voice and feel the "I said it!" moment
- Voice mode: the book reads itself back in your child's own recorded voice
- Kids mode: hide all buttons at once to prevent accidental taps
- Pinch to zoom: enlarge any picture and study every little detail
■ Designed with parents in mind
- No ads, ever
- Recordings are stored only on the device and are never uploaded
- Purchases and settings sit behind a parental gate, safe from curious taps
- Works fully offline after download — perfect for flights and trips
- Child profiles keep each sibling's recordings and progress separate
■ A picture book that keeps growing
New words and categories are added through weekly and monthly updates — always at no extra cost. The book your child opens today keeps growing along with them.
■ Try 4 categories (122 words) for free
Animals, vehicles, food, and hiragana are free to explore. To unlock everything, choose the plan that suits your family: a one-time Lifetime purchase that is yours forever, or a Monthly subscription.
For first words, for a head start with a second language, for quiet quality time together — a gentle picture book the whole family will enjoy opening every day.
