Scarlett Panda

Scarlett Panda also lets parents create custom short stories for kids starring their friends and family members. The app lets parents create stories for their kids, helping to get them interested in reading and expanding their vocabulary. Coauthoring stories can make for special memories and help kids see themselves in the stories they read.

The app offers a variety of story types, including:

• Instant Stories: A 30-second story that can be customized with characters, appearance and setting.
• Storybooks: Longer 10-chapter stories that can be read in digital, printed or audiobook form.
• Meditations: Customized meditations for kids to help them with emotions, sleep and resilience.
• Learning Adventures: Guided learning experiences.
• Lullabies: Customized lullabies for bedtime.
• Parenting Serenity: Meditations for parents.

Stories can be read directly in the app or converted into a physical, high-quality bound book. The app accommodates up to 4 personalized characters and 74 languages. Parents can also choose between digital, print or audiobook formats.

Pricing is straightforward, with unlimited stories costing $9.90 per month or $49.90 per year. Printed books cost $29.90 plus shipping. There's also a 7-day free trial option that converts to a yearly subscription if you don't cancel.

Scarlett Panda's goal is to get kids excited about reading and learning while letting parents play a role in the storytelling. The app is designed to be easy to use so parents and kids can coauthor and enjoy the stories.
