Smoother stories, better nights.
This update polishes narration and page transitions, irons out a few reading hiccups, and refines the story creation flow from first page to last.
Reminder: every story you create can become a real hardback book, posted straight to your door — or a printable keepsake you print at home in minutes, if you want it sooner.
We read every note from the Settings screen. Happy reading!
