Chukkani Bedtime Stories

Read full description

Chukkani is a bedtime story app for kids aged 3 to 8. Every story is illustrated like a comic and read aloud, so children can follow along whether or not they can read yet. Stories come in 7 Indian languages, not just English. A child can hear the same tale in the language spoken at home, which makes bedtime feel closer for families across India and for parents raising kids abroad. Say hello to Chukki, the little cloud who narrates. She loves a good bedtime story and usually drifts off before the kids do. Children read along with her, tap to hear each page, and swipe to the next one. WHAT'S INSIDE - Illustrated, comic-style stories built for small screens and small hands - Narration on every page, with the words following the voice - 7 Indian languages, plus English - Folk tales, mythology, and original stories written for children - A full-screen reader with a text-size control and a night theme for dark rooms - Offline downloads, so a story keeps working on a plane or a long drive - Kid profiles with age-appropriate picks BUILT FOR FAMILIES Chukkani is made for children, and it treats their data that way. Children never type personal details into the app. A parent signs in and sets up each child's profile: a nickname, an approximate age so the stories match, and a country for language options. There are no ads, no ad networks, and no chat or messaging of any kind. Purchases and account settings sit behind a parent check, so a child can't wander into them. FREE AND PREMIUM You can read a free story every day without paying. A premium subscription opens the full library, with monthly, yearly, and lifetime options. Subscriptions renew through your Apple ID and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store settings at any time. A NOTE FROM US Chukkani grew out of a simple habit: a parent telling stories to a child in their mother tongue at the end of the day. We wanted that to keep going even when everyone is tired, and to work in more than one language. That's the whole idea.
