What is this app?
It’s an app for reading stories together with someone you love โ even when that person is far away. They read out loud, and the pictures show up on your screen at exactly the right moment. Like magic (but it’s technology!).
What does the app know about you?
Almost nothing โ and that’s on purpose!
The app doesn’t know your name. It doesn’t know how old you are. It has no photo of you. It doesn’t know where you live.
It knows only one thing: that YOUR device is connected to your grown-up’s device, so the stories can work. That’s it.
And when we talk through the app?
When your grown-up turns the voice on, it’s like a phone: the voice passes through the app, but it is not kept anywhere. Nobody records it, nobody listens to it later. When the chat is over... poof! It doesn’t exist anywhere anymore.
What if the app makes a little mistake?
Sometimes an app freezes and closes all by itself โ it happens! When that happens, the app sends us a little note telling us what broke: which part of the program had the problem, and what kind of device it is.
But that little note says nothing about you. No name, no photo, nothing of yours. It’s like a mechanic looking at the car, not at the driver. ๐ง
Ads? Not here!
The app shows no ads and never tries to sell you anything. Here, the space belongs to the stories only.
Your grown-up takes care of everything
A grown-up who loves you connected your device. They choose the settings, and they can disconnect and erase everything at any time. You don’t have to worry about a thing โ just about which story to read next. ๐
Saw something strange?
If anything in the app looks weird or confuses you, show it to your grown-up. They know how to reach us.
