Upon A Time

Personalized storybooks starring your child, on iPad. Tell the app who your little one is and what the story should be about — it writes, illustrates, and narrates a picture book just for them.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a story?
Tap the magic wand on the bookshelf, describe an idea (or leave it blank for a surprise), and watch the progress ring on the shelf. The book opens like a real one — swipe to turn pages.

How does narration work?
Tap Read to Me in a book to have it read aloud while words light up. Tap any single word to hear just that word. Narration for each page is saved on your iPad, so favorite books replay instantly, even offline.

How do I set up the main character?
Open Settings (gear icon) from the bookshelf: name, age, interests, and optionally a description or photo so the hero looks like your child.

How do I keep my child inside the app?
Use iPad Guided Access: Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access, then triple-click the top button when handing over the iPad.

How do I delete a book?
Touch and hold its cover on the bookshelf, then choose Delete Book.
