What’s new
Version 2.1.0 · Updated October 15, 2026
Every story is now a real book. • iPhone Duo: open it up and read two pages side by side, with the pictures meeting at the fold. Fold it closed and keep reading one page at a time. iPad held sideways gets the two-page spread too. • Turn the page: stories now turn sideways with a page curl, just like a real book. No more scrolling up and down. • Whole pictures, words that fit: every picture is shown in full and the words fit on the page, so there is nothing to scroll. • Storybook look: warm book paper, a classic storybook typeface, page numbers and a big first letter to open each story. • Read-along: a soft marker glides from word to word as the story is read aloud, so little readers can follow along. • Smoother: narration and page turns run more smoothly and use less battery.
