A photo of your child's plush toy becomes the hero of the story. And your child learns, step by step, to read alone. Zaubergeschichten accompanies you from reading aloud to reading alone. You take a photo of the bunny, the teddy or your child's favorite figure, the app turns it into a character, and every story comes with its own pictures, in the language and at the reading level that suit your child. HOW IT WORKS • Take a photo of the plush toy and create a character • Tell us what the adventure should be about and the story appears with pictures • Read aloud or read together, as often as you like • Seefa the fox is with you from the start GROW WITH YOUR CHILD • Four reading levels: Read-aloud, Reading start, Practice reading and Fluent reading • You choose the level for each child profile, and it applies to new stories • In German, the reading start shows capital letters and syllables in blue and red • "I read aloud": while your child reads out loud, the app highlights the words they have read. Speech recognition runs on the device only, nothing is recorded and nothing is sent (German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Malay) • Reading log with words, minutes and reading pace. You switch the saving of reading sessions on or off yourself, behind the parental gate FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY • As many child profiles as you need, each with its own avatar • Stories in 8 languages: German, Swiss Standard German, English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Filipino, Indonesian and Malay • A picture not quite right? Long-press it, let the app redraw it, and compare before and after • Export stories as PDF or Word and print them as a book • Swiss made, developed with educators PLANS • A single story, monthly plan S, monthly plan M or a yearly plan • S and M differ only in the number of stories per month, everything else is the same • All features are included in every plan • 2 characters per month and 1 Pro edit per story included • The quota follows fair use. Once it is used up, you can add a single story. • Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period in your App Store account settings. PRIVACY • Your data is not used to train AI models • Speech recognition while reading along runs on the device only • Saving reading sessions can be switched off at any time, behind the parental gate Questions or ideas?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ebook Central at none against Zaubergeschichten's 4. Ebook Central also leads on chart position (#186 vs unranked). Zaubergeschichten's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
