Bills, fines, letters from the council, insurance small print, a contract nobody explained. NextStep AI reads it and tells you plainly what it is, what actually matters in it, and what to do next. SEND IT ANY WAY YOU LIKE Photograph a letter, pick a PDF, share a screenshot, or paste text straight in. No account, no email, no sign-in — it works the second you open it. MORE THAN A SUMMARY • What this is, in one sentence anyone can follow • The facts that matter — amounts, dates, reference numbers, deadlines • A path to done: the steps in order, not one vague suggestion • Other ways to handle it, where a real choice exists • Big, plain buttons that open the right place, dial the right number, or copy the right code FREE FOOD HIDING ON YOUR RECEIPTS McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, Starbucks, KFC, Taco Bell and many more print a survey code on the receipt that's worth a free item. NextStep finds it, reads the code exactly as printed, tells you how long it lasts, and opens the official survey site. Only addresses it recognises are ever opened, and nothing is invented: if the receipt isn't offering anything, it says so. TWO DOCUMENTS, SIDE BY SIDE Two quotes for the same job, a revised bill, a second letter worded a little differently. Put them side by side and NextStep reports only what changed. IT SHOWS ITS WORKING Tap any part of the result to see the exact words on the page it was read from, highlighted. Nothing is claimed without showing you where it came from. IS THIS REAL? Every document is judged — genuine, promotion, advert, or suspicious — with the evidence on show. Anything that looks like a scam has its printed links and phone numbers stripped of taps, so a bad link can't be opened by accident. TWELVE LANGUAGES, WRITTEN BY HAND English, 简体中文, हिन्दी, Español, Français, Deutsch, Русский, Português, Italiano, Română, Azərbaycan and Nederlands. Pick one and the whole app speaks it — every heading, button and result. DEADLINES THAT DON'T SLIP Anything with a date can go straight into a reminder, so a deadline buried in paragraph nine doesn't quietly pass. YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY YOURS What you send is read and the result comes straight back. It isn't kept on a server, isn't used to train anything, and isn't shared with advertisers or data brokers. Everything saved lives on your phone, and deleting it deletes it for good. FREE, AND PRO Free gives you eight documents a month, three pages each, the full reading and every action button. Pro removes the limits and adds comparing two documents, a deadline calendar, and taking a document apart piece by piece. NextStep AI explains and suggests. It is not a lawyer, doctor, accountant or insurer, it never acts on your behalf, and the decision is always yours. Check anything that matters against the document itself. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $4.99 a month with the first week free, or $29.99 a year. Prices are shown in your own currency before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your phone's Settings.
