Better screen time. Better dreams. Bigger potential.
-
Better screen time
Screen time should teach and enrich, not just fill time. Kids Tales stories carry themes like kindness, courage and curiosity that you can talk about together.
-
Better dreams
Calm, beautiful storytelling that winds little minds down. Laffari is paced for bedtime, with soft animation and stories that end on a peaceful note.
-
Bigger potential
Challenges that build real-world habits, confidence and skills. Power Pals turns everyday routines into missions kids are proud to finish.
Built for families, not for engagement.
-
No ads, ever
There are no ads in any of our apps. We earn from optional paid plans that a parent chooses, not from your child's attention.
-
Private by design
Kids never need an account or an email address to use our apps. When there is an account, it belongs to a parent.
-
Calm by design
No endless feeds and no pressure to keep scrolling. Stories have real endings, and Laffari is paced to wind kids down, not up.
-
Checked by a person
Every story is read and checked by a person before it goes live, for age-appropriate themes and language.

Questions parents ask us
What ages are ZoApps apps for?
Each app has its own range. Kids Tales is written for ages 3 to 8, and you can browse its stories by age. Laffari is designed for ages 2 to 9 and fits into a bedtime routine. Power Pals is for families with kids from 3 to 12, and a parent picks each child's missions to suit their age.
Are the apps free? What do the paid plans include?
Kids Tales is free to read, with no account. Kids Tales Premium adds narrated audio stories, playlists, favorites and reading badges for $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial. Laffari and Power Pals will each have free content and optional paid plans. We will share their prices when they launch.
Are there ads, or in-app purchases a child could trigger?
There are no ads in any of our apps. Kids Tales Premium is bought on the website, through a parent account and a separate checkout. Laffari and Power Pals will sell plans only through the App Store and Google Play, where you can require your password for every purchase. In Power Pals, kids only ever see a view-only kid mode.
What data do you collect about my child?
Kids never need an account or an email address to use our apps. Kids Tales can be read with no account at all, and a Premium account belongs to the parent, with the parent's name and email. When Power Pals launches, a parent adds each child with just a nickname, age range and avatar. Our websites use analytics to count visits. Our kids' privacy and safety page has the details for each app.
Do the apps work offline?
Kids Tales runs in your web browser, so it needs an internet connection. When Laffari launches, its animated stories will work offline, while audio stories stream and need a connection. We will confirm how Power Pals works offline before it launches.
