The Challenge

Parents in Romania wanted good stories in their own language that didn’t mean more screen time. StoryBook set out to build one: original stories voiced by actors, checked by psychologists and released every week, with enough calm for bedtime. The app had to feel simple enough for a parent at the end of a long day, play reliably offline, handle monthly and annual subscriptions, and give the content team a way to keep new stories, songs and animations coming.

The Solution

A story library built for listening, not watching.

  • Audio player

    Story playback with autoplay, background music and ambient sounds, plus downloads for listening offline.

  • Record your own

    Parents can record a story in their own voice and play it back to their child.

  • Content & discovery

    Bedtime stories, animated stories, songs and a “Did you know?” section of fun facts, with push notifications when new stories land.

  • Subscriptions & accounts

    Monthly and annual plans, redeem codes, one account across devices, and an educational dashboard that tracks listening time and progress.

The Results

What families get once the stories are in their hands.
