What's New in My Story Kids' Storybook Maker

5.0.0

August 14, 2026

Version 5.0 is the biggest release in My Story's history. Turn any story into a real printed book. The publishing flow has been rebuilt from the ground up. Preview every page exactly as it will print, choose softcover or hardcover, portrait or landscape, design your own back cover, and follow the order all the way to your doorstep. If you have never had one of your child's stories printed, start here. It is the single best thing this app does. Almost everything else is now free. Unlimited books. Unlimited authors. Every sticker pack, every music track, every art style, backup and restore, and book export and import, all open to everyone, forever. Story Sparks now cover the Magic features only, and your child earns them just by writing. A welcome gift of Sparks is waiting the next time you open the app. The Community Library is here. A moderated shelf of stories from storytellers of every age: families, classrooms, teachers and authors all over the world. Read them, favorite the ones you love, leave a kind comment, and publish your own for others to find. Parents keep independent switches for the library, for publishing and for comments. Introducing Memory Book. Pick some photos and My Story arranges them into a finished illustrated book, with layouts, captions, photo frames and a soundtrack included. Then print it. Perfect for a holiday, a birthday, or a whole school year. Become a Storyteller. Earn XP for everything you write and climb eleven ranks from Daydreamer to Living Legend, with badges, lifetime writing stats and a level journey map. The streak is now weekly rather than daily, which is far kinder to real family life, and finishing one now gifts you a brand new My Story character. A whole new look. Home, library, canvas, page manager, settings and the image editor have all been rebuilt around a warmer, calmer design. New on the canvas • Landscape books, alongside the classic portrait format • A shapes tool, and decorative borders for any image • Crop right on the page, with drag handles and aspect presets • Ready-made page layouts, including polaroid scatter styles • Keyframe animations and new page transitions • Long-hold to copy, cut and paste anything Also in 5.0 • Five new My Story characters to use on any page, with more added regularly, and you can ask us for one that does not exist yet • Video preview and sharing before you export • Copy or move a story to another author • Gentle weekly reminders and a daily writing prompt • Fully translated into 17 languages • Hundreds of fixes to performance, memory, layout and reliability Thank you for making things with us. Go tell a story, then go print it.

User reviews

Don’t bother unless your prepared to be bombarded with in app purchase just to make a basic story.

To be honest I looked at this as for my granddaughter who has autism but is creative. Despite being a free install the pressure to buy more features just to make basic story is ridiculous,, constantly trying to explain why many of the features are locked when we’re trying to explore possibilities just isn’t worth the effort or fight,,
All in all best avoided unless you want to be continually nagged to complete in app purchases.

Response from developer

I totally feel your pain. I'm releasing a new version of the app that will make pretty much everything that's not AI-free and I'm hoping that that solves the bulk of the issues that you're facing. Ultimately most of the things, even in today's version of the app, you should be able to do to create a story for free

You should get my story

You should get my story it’s a really good app that helps kids right stories. You can go to your photos and get a photo or you can get a do get a fake setting, they are really good and you can search for your stories so I think you should get my stories

LOVE THIS APP!!!

I can’t believe that l can publish my stories it is so so cool but alsolly

😱

Amazing so many things to do get now

We need to zoom in

So I was writing a poke Miku story for Pokémon red and I literally coudint zoom in and it keeps on messing up with my drawling

Response from developer

Hi Naomi! Thanks for the feedback. That's a great idea. We'll look at how we might be able to add a zoom capability without affecting how you resize images on the canvas.
