About this app

Once Upon a Me creates personalised picture books starring your child. Share their name, photo, and what they love, and Romie, our story engine, weaves them into a one-of-a-kind story. Lovingly illustrated, beautifully narrated, and ready in minutes.

THEIR NAME, THEIR FACE, THEIR STORY
• Your child stars on every page, drawn from the photo you share
• Seven illustration styles, from cinematic 3D to soft crayon sketches
• Gentle narration in a voice chosen to fit each tale
• Read together on any phone or tablet, or order a keepsake hardcover to hold forever

A READER MADE FOR BEDTIME
• A true open-book spread on tablets, with pages that turn like the real thing
• A calm, beautiful audio player for listen-along time
• Keep it small while you read, or go full screen when it's time to listen
• Page turns so smooth you'll forget it's a screen

BUILT FOR PARENTS, SAFE FOR CHILDREN
• Parent-managed accounts: children never sign in
• Photos are used briefly to create your child's hero, then deleted
• No ads in the story reader and no in-app chat
• Every story is checked for family safety before you see it
• A 30-day grace period if you ever delete your account

START WITH ONE STORY

• Subscribe for four new stories every month
• Cancel anytime in your Google Play subscriptions
• Keepsake hardcovers available as one-off purchases, shipped worldwide

HOW EACH STORY IS MADE
Every story is personalised using the name, photo and preferences you provide. Romie combines hand-crafted story templates, artist-designed illustration styles and modern machine-learning techniques to create each unique book, and every one is reviewed for family safety before it reaches you. If you ever want a story checked or removed, tap the menu inside the Reader to report it, and we'll take care of the rest.

Each book takes some time to craft properly. You'll get a notification the moment it's ready, so you can set your phone down and get on with your evening.

Made with love by The Dream Management Group, trading as Once Upon a Me.

Your child's next favourite story is one about themselves.
