?Frequently Asked Questions
How does Magic Story Buddy choose stories?
Magic Story Buddy uses the OpenAI API to randomly generate unique stories, ensuring no two stories are ever the same. Free users can choose between 2-3 hero characters (robot, dragon, princess), 2-3 settings (castle, forest), and 2-3 adventures (find treasure, help a friend). Our AI technology crafts personalized narratives based on these choices while incorporating the life skills themes you've selected in the dashboard.
What age range is Magic Story Buddy designed for?
Magic Story Buddy is specifically designed for children aged 3-5 years old. Our approach aligns with Montessori educational methods, such as incorporating tracing letters and numbers for 4-year-olds and nurturing imagination in 3-year-olds after their sense of reality has been established. The content grows with your child through these crucial developmental years.
How often are new stories added?
We add new stories every week, ensuring there's always fresh content for your child. Each month focuses on different seasonal themes and life skills, giving your child a well-rounded storytelling experience throughout the year.
Can I download stories for offline listening?
Yes! Premium subscribers can download up to 20 stories at a time for offline listening. This is perfect for road trips, flights, or any time you might not have internet access. Downloads refresh each month.
Is screen time limited within the app?
Absolutely. We've designed Magic Story Buddy with limited screen time in mind. Parents can set daily and weekly limits in the dashboard, and our bedtime mode gradually dims the screen and transitions to audio-only to promote healthy sleep habits.
