What parents say

Reviews posted by families on Google Play (translated from French)

“Great app! I quickly switched to the paid version so we could enjoy all the tales, as the kids wanted. Each one has their own profile and goes at their own pace. They love enjoying it before bedtime and are proud to get the quiz right at the end of each story. The passport system is fun, with the stamps you get after each tale. I really recommend it (and I admit I enjoy the moment too, listening to the stories with the kids 😅)”
