Minor improvements.

Our Expert Score
Little Stories: Bedtime Books is a fantastic tool for parents. The personalization goes beyond just a name; seeing a character that resembles your child in the illustrations makes a huge impact on their engagement. The stories are gentle, educational, and avoid over-stimulation, which is exactly what you want before bed.
The stand-out feature is definitely the voice recording. Being able to record yourself reading a story means your child can still have that 'parent-read' experience even when you're away or busy. It's a thoughtful, high-quality app that actually aids in a nightly routine rather than just being another screen-time distraction.

My kids love this app!!
Thu Jul 12 2018 Couldn'tgetanybettersrlyI’ve had this app for about a year now. I absolutely love it, my boys love it. They really enjoy being able to put there name into the stories. I see a lot of people saying that the stories are pricey or they want them to be free, personally I think it’s a reasonable price for a children’s book compared to store prices plus the bonus of the convince of being in your home already. I only wish that we could add more names to the story I have two boys I read to at bedtime and only one gets to be the main character. I always have to insert their name into another character luckily, my youngest isn’t old enough yet to know his name isn’t really there my six year old however enjoys letting him know. Overall fantastic app!! Teaches them life lessons also which is always a plus.
SOOOO CUTE 💖🎀😆
Thu Nov 28 2024 LailaamoudiIt is educational and it could help kids with their reading and it is better than other reading apps because you can record your kids reading and you can change up the names with your main characters and it is really nice for the kids to like play with and fun with. It’s like like a game for them you know and and when I tried it, I had so much fun. It is really nice, but you could change so much stuff because there’s only one narrator there’s only one narrator when we’re listening to his stories and they should change it up a bit to girls and boys not just boys different types for each story yeah but it’s really nice. You should try it bye.
Amazing
Tue May 12 2020 Jenni P. L.I have had this app for a while. I loved that I could personalize the story with my child’s name. One day, I unknowingly purchased all of the stories.. I did not see anything any option for the story to be narrated by a voice in the app. As I was reading in the app tonight, we used the recording button and wouldn’t you know, the app recorded my voice telling the story. Personalization on top of personalization. It is amazing. Our eyes lit up. We are so in love. And the app keeps on giving. Thank you to the creators of this app. Now, even when I'm not present in a room with my daughter, she can hear me telling the story!
Add option for more than one child profile
Sun Aug 01 2021 mamamamamirThis would be perfect if you could have different profiles within the app for each child’s name. I don’t want to put more than one child’s name in each story…I understand that would change the story and make things more complicated. I want the ability to have a profile for more than one child….then I could change the gender and have each of my children have their own profile within the app! Each kid could open up their individual profile on their individual device and listen to my voice reading the version of the story with their own name in it! That would make this app 5 stars and worth the full price.
Why the Cost? And More Holiday Books
Sat Nov 03 2018 Aunt Kit-KatSo I downloaded this app so I can read to my upcoming nephew and I opened the app to add his gender and name after that I had started to look around for a few good books to read when I found out that it cost to read some of the books the only one I could read to him was The Brave Eaglet and I saw some good books that cost. One thing that you could add is no cost for all single books but the jumble of books can cost. Aunt Kit-kat here so I’m so happy about the Christmas book please make them stay and also more holiday books should be made.
Great until you read them all.
Wed Feb 26 2025 DJ Why-ManCute stories with some good foundational lessons for toddlers. I’d say it’s worth 2 months of paid subscription; reading a new story every night. However, after you’ve read them all to your 2-3 year old, the charm wears off. I also have to mention that there were a few that were straight up awful, zero creativity, and robotic. Even the narrator sounded annoyed at reading the bad ones. Overall, with the personalization I think this app is great until you finish each story. But you’ll certainly want to hang on to your hard cover classics.
It has put my toddler to sleep! ☺️
Thu Jun 29 2023 dxkwizitchiq08My 2 year old son loves reading books and sometimes I am too tired at night to to read for him so I searched for an app that can help as a substitute ☺️. Surprisingly, this app has really helped and has put my son to sleep. It has a selection of story books and I can either opt to read for him or a voiceover can read for him so he'll just watch the pictures and listen. Win-win! 🥰 This is not sponsored. I just love the fact that there is an app to help moms with bedtime stories sometimes. ❤️
Beautiful illustrations, badly written stories
Sun Oct 20 2019 MarmottefaceI love the look and functionality of this app, and the ability to record your voice and play it back is wonderful. Unfortunately, I can’t quite get over the bad writing. Not only do the stories drag on and have no real plots, it also seems as though the stories were translated into English from another language using a bot. The English doesn’t often flow well, or the use of some words is bizarre: “[character name]...had noticed something disgraceful...” Fix the writing and you have a perfect app that parents will enjoy reading to their children more.
