They can even create their own choices!

Ratings and reviews

My son LOVES this story creating app. He is allowed to pick bedtime stories every night and he almost always asks for "phone stories." I was initially afraid of bringing out a screen at bedtime, but he almost never looks at the phone. Most of the time he's looking off into the distance, imagining the story. It's so fun and I love hearing what choice he will pick. The content is age adjusted, and I've never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

As an lifelong educator, I give this app an enthusiastic 5 stars+. With opportunity to choose and name characters, type of story and plot ... what could be more creative? What could be a more productive use of screen time? I love that this app was created and is carefully monitored by a Mom of young kids. She also happens to have technical/AI chops ... she was a Google Product Manager in their Education Products sector. The graphics are quite lovely, the story lines are fun and age-appropriate.

We are a mom and a 4-year-old, and we adore the Wanderly app. It’s been fantastic for creating and sharing our stories with beautiful art. We’re especially excited about the new feature that will let us turn our stories into a printed, personalized book. What a great keepsake!
