By parents for parents
Readmio is an app full of fairy tales for kids that we have enriched with sounds. Just download the app, save a story to the library and start reading! While you read out loud, the app follows along and adds sounds at exactly the right moment.

A small theatre at home
Put your baby to sleep and instead of books, try to use our bedtime stories. And feel free to put into the storytelling, our sounds and music will help you. For example, try making different voices or facial expressions and make a small home theater for your baby. But we don't think that our app is a replacement for books, it’s an addition. We promote reading to children in any form.

Why there aren’t any illustrations in the stories?
The kids stories have beautiful cover illustrations that will help you and your children choose what you are going to read. However, the children's contact with the mobile phone should end there. In the stories themselves, we did not include illustrations intentionally because we do not want to support their time spent in front of the screen.

Meaningful bedtime stories
We created Readmio because we believe in the power of bedtime stories. They form the basis of society and help to spread and maintain wisdom. For kids, they are an ideal tool not only for expanding vocabulary but also for explaining complicated topics. We recommend that you use our stories as a conversation starter for topics you care about. You will find inspiration on how to get started in the description of the individual bedtime stories.

About privacy
An internet connection is required to download the fairy tales, but not for the reading itself. Speech recognition works completely offline, without wifi, on your device. No data or voice recordings are stored or transferred anywhere. Your privacy comes first. In addition, you can read on the go or abroad without worrying about expensive roaming charges.

About our subscription
Readmio comes with a collection of free kids stories. It covers multiple categories (Folk tales, Aesop's fables, Christmas fairy tales and etc.) and age groups providing you with an instant value and a great way to try out the experience. In addition to all current and future tales, you get the opportunity to record your reading and create an original audiobook or download the story as PDF and print it. If you like it, the subscription option unlocks the entire Readmio library (currently more than 200 kids stories, that's multiple books). We publish new stories every week.

We believe that you, your family, and your kids will enjoy the app and have many magical experiences together.

Ratings and reviews

So fun! This is such a smart app and most importantly my 4yr old loves it. The stories are beautifully written and I was skeptical to read a story without any pictures but the sound effects really add a lot to each story. My son was amazed with the sound effects (as was i!) Overall extremely impressed and can't wait to read more of these stories during bedtime.

Ok, so I was a skeptic to begin with. I couldn't imagine using my phone to read to my kids at night....... But I was so wrong. The first time I read a sentence and the sound effects from the story played, my youngest daughter was so amazed. The stories are beautiful, a mix of traditional stories with a moral lesson in each one. My daughter has loads of questions after each story as well. This app has created a beautiful moment nightly been me and my kids that didn't exist before.

The idea is awesome! But execution is poor. My son is 3 so I chose the 3+ stories. They're too complicated in sentence structure and use of words for a 3 year olds understanding. Plus the actual storylines just aren't good. Sound effects don't match what you'd expect to hear a lot of the time. On occasion they're fine but 50/50 you're asking yourself why they thought that sound effect was right? Was willing to pay but my son and I aren't getting anything out of this to be worth it.
