Every story.
Read aloud.

Berry is a reading app for kids, full of original picture books, comics, bedtime stories and choose-your-own adventures. A warm narrator and a cast of character voices read every page aloud, each word lighting up as it is spoken, so little ones can listen on their own and bigger kids can read along. On iPhone, iPad and Android.

Original picture books, comics and bedtime stories

A reading app for kids that reads aloud

Narrated books for little ones who cannot read yet, and read-along stories for kids learning to. Small children tap and listen; older children read at their own pace. Berry grows with them.

Read To Me

A warm narrator reads every page while each word lights up, so listening turns into reading.

Character voices

Every character in a story has a voice of their own, with gentle sound effects that make the page come alive.

Comics that talk

Speech bubbles are voiced by their characters, panel by panel, for kids who love a comic.

Pick Your Path

Your child decides what happens next. Every choice leads somewhere new, so each story reads again and again.

Pick Your Path

Your child decides what happens next

In Pick Your Path books, the story stops at the big moments and asks your child what to do. Every page is read aloud, every choice leads somewhere new, and there is more than one ending to find, so the same book feels brand new the next time.

  • Big, friendly choice buttons that even pre-readers can tap
  • Different endings to discover, so children read again and again
  • Narrated with a voice for each character, every word lighting up

Which Way, Drizzle?

A real Berry book · Ages 5–8

0/2 endings

Down the hill they go, to the bottom, where the path splits.

This way, the wind goes WHOOSH over the meadow.

That way, the river runs all the way to Big Mountain.

An ad-free kids app, built for children on purpose

Grown-ups make the account. Children read. Everything a parent needs lives behind a grown-up gate a small child cannot open.

  • No advertising, ever, and no selling of data
  • No chat, comments or messages, so nobody can contact your child
  • Nothing leads to the web from a child's screen
  • A parent dashboard with minutes read and books finished for each child
  • A daily limit you set, that winds down gently instead of cutting off mid-page
  • A first name and birth year is all we ask about a child. How we protect children's data

Questions parents ask

What does Berry cost?

The first book you open is yours to read in full, and every other book opens for a two-page peek. Berry Family is a monthly or yearly subscription that unlocks every book, Read To Me on all of them, and offline downloads, for every child on the account. The price in your currency is shown in the app before you confirm. How billing works.

Is there a free trial, and how do I cancel?

Yes, 3 days. You are only charged if you keep it past the trial. Cancel in your phone's subscription settings at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Step-by-step cancelling.

Does Berry have adverts or in-app chat?

No to both, and there never will be. Berry is an ad-free reading app with no messaging and no social features.

What age is Berry for?

Children aged 2 to 16. Each child gets a shelf chosen for their age: picture books and bedtime stories for toddlers and preschoolers, comics and read-along books for early readers, and longer stories and Pick Your Path books for older kids.

Does Berry read the books aloud?

Yes. Read To Me narrates every page with a warm narrator and a voice for each character, and every word lights up as it is spoken so children can follow along and learn to read the words.

What do you know about my child?

A first name or nickname, a birth year (never the full date) and the avatar you pick, plus their reading progress so it follows them between devices. Children's privacy notice.

Can we read without internet?

Yes. With Berry Family, download books before a car ride or a flight and read them offline anywhere.

How many children can use one account?

Up to six child profiles, each with their own shelf, progress, streaks and badges. One subscription covers them all.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: parent area, Settings, Delete account. It removes everything immediately. You can also ask us by email. Delete your account.
