Meaningful stories

As a family, we listened to a whole bunch of StoryNest stories on the car ride, and they were lovely! I personally enjoyed how meaningful they were. The stories that were funny, had singing or sound effects even held the attention of my youngest (he is 4). After that, my 8 year old asked if she could listen to some of the stories on her own, and chose to keep listening instead of watching a movie. I think that tells you how much she enjoyed the app!

Time Saver!

I adore this app for my preschoolers! I can see us using it for many years. It allows us to quickly find stories appropriate for my kids ages. The audio and story quality is extremely high. It just means one less thing to worry about as a parent when I know the stories have been audited and that nothing inappropriate will play. Also, ad free!
