## What is StoryBeam Kids?

StoryBeam Kids is a kids podcast and bedtime audio app built around one rule: every show is listened to first.
Creators who want to launch with StoryBeam Kids go through strict vetting before a show reaches the catalog.

Tiffany Munzer, MD, FAAP, writing for HealthyChildren.org, notes that "autoplay, endless scrolling and targeted ads aren't built with children's well-being in mind." StoryBeam Kids is designed as the opposite of an open attention platform: no open browsing, no social feeds, no user uploads, and no surprise next-up recommendations.

What families can do:

- Play reviewed children's podcast episodes
- Start with StoryBeam and browse approved shows
- Search only the closed catalog
- Save local watchlist and playlist picks
- Use simple audio controls for bedtime, car rides, and quiet time
- Listen without accounts, uploads, social feeds, ads, payments, camera, microphone, or location prompts

Why parents use it:

- Every show is listened to before it appears
- New shows must pass strict vetting before launch
- Safer discovery than open podcast platforms
- Parent-reviewable show and episode context
- A calm audio-first experience for kids

StoryBeam Kids is built for screen-light family listening, bedtime wind-down, learning moments, and kid-safe audio discovery.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-01

The grown-up check got stronger. After a few wrong answers it now waits a little longer each time, and the wait stays put even if the app is closed and reopened, so it cannot be guessed through.

Email Support in Settings now reaches an address we actually read.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-11

This update refreshes the app's design to match our website, fixes a navigation issue in Parent Corner (Home no longer returns you to the kid listening room, and Reload now reliably reloads the current page), and strengthens the grown-up check with two-digit math and a short pause after a wrong answer.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-07

No release notes.
