HOW EACH STORY IS MADE
Every story is personalised using the name, photo and preferences you provide. Romie combines carefully designed story templates and illustration styles with 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.
