## What is Storytime?

Storytime is a bedtime reading app for children aged roughly 4 to 9. Every story has hand-crafted illustrations, gentle audio narration, and a clear moral at the end — the kinds of calm, considered tales you want your child hearing before sleep.

WHAT YOU GET, FREE
• Three full stories, each around 20 pages with beautiful illustrations
• Audio narration on every page
• 30 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and more — switch at any time from Settings
• Works fully offline — no Wi-Fi needed, no sign-up, no account, no ads

SAFE FOR KIDS, BY DESIGN
• No third-party advertising. No behavioral tracking. No analytics SDKs.
• No external links without a parental gate — a short arithmetic puzzle keeps small hands from opening web pages by accident.
• No user-to-user messaging, no comments, no sharing.
• Built to comply with Apple's Kids Category guidelines and US/EU data-protection rules for children.

HOW IT WORKS
• Swipe through each page of a story, with illustration, text, and audio together.
• Tap any word to have it spoken aloud — perfect for early readers.
• End of every story features a short "Moral of the Story" card.
• Change the reading language at any time; narration and text switch together.

EVERY STORY INCLUDES
• An original illustration for every page
• Natural, human-quality audio narration
• A "Moral of the Story" theme: curiosity, kindness, courage, empathy, creativity, or self-confidence
• An age band (4-7, 5-8, 6-9) so you can pick stories that suit your child

COMING SOON
• An expanding library of stories in an optional paid subscription
• Animated video versions of each story
• Apple TV support

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.5 — 2026-08-11

Smoother storytime narration:

• Emphasised words like "POP!" are now spoken naturally.
• The narrator pauses for a beat between a headline and the sentence that follows, so stories feel calmer at bedtime.
• Fixed several pages where the narration ran on far longer than it should have.
• Spanish, French and German stories now include full offline narration — titles, chapter headings and the closing moral.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-07-22

Every story now reads aloud in a warm, natural studio voice — in all 30 languages, not just English.

• Spanish, French and German narration is built in and plays fully offline.
• The other 26 languages download in a few seconds the first time, then play offline too.
• Read-aloud now always finishes each page before turning — calmer, smoother bedtime reading.
• Stability fixes, including a macOS launch fix.

What's new in 1.2:

• Choose your narration language and switch any time while reading.
• Gentle background music while you read (toggle it in Settings).
• Export and share any story as a printable PDF.
