Why I made StoryBloom

Another note from my daughter's teacher: she needs to work on her reading. And every evening I'd hand her the tablet and watch her disappear into a corner with random games I'd never seen.

So I built StoryBloom, for her. Reading games that start with letter sounds and grow into little books. Calm bedtime stories, some set right here in the desert and by our sea. Songs to dance to, sheets to print, and simple things we can make together in our flat.

Every story, song and game is one I chose. It works in the car, on the flight home and anywhere the Wi-Fi gives up. Now I'm opening it to other families.

Questions parents ask

Which devices does it work on?

iPads, Android tablets, phones and laptops, in Safari or Chrome. Open the link, unlock with your code, then add it to your home screen. It opens full-screen like an app.

How does offline work?

The first time, StoryBloom saves everything it needs (about 19 MB) onto the device. After that, stories, songs and games all work with no internet. Connect once every few weeks so it can check your plan and pick up new content.

How many devices can we use?

Up to 3 devices per family, such as a tablet, a phone and a laptop. Changed devices? Message us and we'll reset it.

What ages is it for?

Ages 3–8. Little ones start with songs, letter sounds and picture stories. Older children move on to blending, sight words and reading the little books themselves. The grown-ups corner suggests a path by age.

Do you collect my child's data?

No. There are no child accounts. Stars, stickers and progress stay on your device. We only keep the parent's name and contact details, to send your code and reminders.

What happens when my year ends?

We remind you two weeks before, and there's no automatic charge. Renew in one tap and your code and your child's progress carry on. If you don't renew, the app locks until you do.

What if it's not right for us?

Message us within 7 days of paying and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked.
