## What is News Owl?

Real news, just for kids — personalised, safe, and fun to read.

News Owl brings the world's biggest real stories to young readers aged 6–14, rewritten to be age-appropriate, easy to understand, and genuinely interesting.

Pick what you love. Choose from Sports, Space, Science, Music, Games, Animals, Environment & Earth, and more — your feed is built around your interests.

Grow as a reader. Earn XP and badges for every story you read. Build daily reading and quiz streaks. Level up from Cub Reporter all the way to News Owl.

Learn while you read. Every story comes with a quiz to test your knowledge and a glossary to explain tricky words — perfect for curious minds.

Safe by design. Every article is filtered and rewritten for young readers. Scary, violent, or inappropriate content is automatically removed before it ever reaches the app.

Fresh every day. New stories arrive daily from trusted sources. Whether your child loves football, dinosaurs, space discoveries, or the latest games news — News Owl has something for them.

News Owl is free to download. No ads, ever.
