## What is Bino?

Bino: Kids Read Along helps a young reader who is stuck on a word in their own book.

Your child photographs the page, and every printed word becomes a tappable target. Tap a word to hear it read aloud. Hold a tricky word and "sound it out" and Bino breaks it into syllables and says each one slowly, so your child cracks it themselves. It is built for decoding, not for reading the page for them.

BUILT FOR A 7-YEAR-OLD, NOT AN EXAM
• No scores, no timers, no words-per-minute, zero pressure
• Big, forgiving tap targets and a calm, Apple-clean design
• A private "words I cracked" collection that only ever grows

SOUND IT OUT, THE HERO
• Syllable-by-syllable phonics help for tricky English words
• Works on any printed book you already own
• Reads English and Spanish pages, detected automatically

A QUIET PROGRESS VIEW, FOR GROWN-UPS ONLY
• Reading days, current streak, and the words your child keeps coming back to
• Those numbers live behind the parental gate. Your child only ever sees the words they collected

WHY PARENTS TRUST BINO
• Private by design: page photos are read on the device and never saved or uploaded
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and it works fully offline
• A parental gate protects every purchase and every link out of the app

Works on iPhone and iPad.

FREE TO TRY, THEN ONE PAYMENT
Your first week is completely unlimited. After that, the free plan gives you 2 pages a day, with word taps and sound-it-out always included. Unlock unlimited pages with a single purchase.

This is not a subscription. Nothing renews, nothing expires, and the unlock is shared with your Family Sharing group.
