Welcome to Lala, the kids bedtime storytelling app designed to help parents and caregivers effortlessly put their little ones to sleep with soothing and engaging tales. Our app features a wide selection of classic and modern bedtime stories, all narrated by talented voice actors. With a simple and intuitive interface, it's easy for kids to browse and choose their favorite stories, or for parents to select a tale that fits their child's mood or interests. But Lala isn't just about bedtime stories - it's also a great tool for promoting literacy and language development. Our stories are written by professional writers and carefully edited to ensure they are age-appropriate and engaging. Plus, our narrator's clear and expressive readings make it easy for kids to follow along and learn new words and concepts. So whether you're looking for a bedtime routine that's calming and peaceful, or a fun and educational way to improve your child's listening skills , Lala has you covered. Download the app today and discover a world of delightful bedtime stories for kids of all ages. Amazing collection of bedtime stories for your kids. New stories are uploaded every night. At Lala stories, we believe that the easiest way to a child's heart is through stories. Stories that make them happy. Stories that make them think. Stories that make them creative. Stories that make them imagine. What's unique about Lala? Lala's stories aim to inspire all to daydream and to stimulate minds. We upload a new story every night. Now there is a collection of 100 plus English and regional languages like Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. It's difficult to make kids concentrate on a single task. Kids can easily lose interest while listening to an audio story. So while other apps just narrate a story, we emphasize interaction. An imaginative character Lala is the story narrator. It also interacts with them at the same time. Lala enquires how the kids are doing, what their daily routines are etc. It also tells them the importance of developing good habits and a proper daily routine. It also asks them to imitate animal sounds and solve little puzzles according to the theme of the story. This way we ensure that kid follows the story to the end. All the stories are written and voiced by professionals. We've also taken special care to ensure that no complex dialogues are included. Spooky and violent stories are a big no-no. Soothing melodies and cute sleepy sounds help the child slip into a deep sleep. “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” -Albert Einstein

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KMPlayer at none against LALA Stories's 3. KMPlayer also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 26) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). LALA Stories's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LALA Stories sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. KMPlayer asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LALA Stories holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KMPlayer has 3.2K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of KMPlayer's written reviews are positive against 60% of LALA Stories's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KMPlayer ships an update every 9 days, LALA Stories every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
