Story Nook is an iPhone and iPad app where a child says an idea and the app writes and illustrates a storybook, a coloring book or a puzzle book around it in about a minute. You can read, color and play in the app, or export the book to print.
Story Nook is free to download and your first 3 books are free. After that, Story Nook Premium is $7.99 a month (the US price; other countries vary) and covers up to 10 new books a month. Premium is an auto-renewing subscription that you manage in your Apple ID settings.
Yes: Premium covers up to 10 new books a month, and the free allowance is 3 books. Every book is drawn by AI, which costs real money to run, so the app does not offer unlimited books.
No. Story Nook never asks for a photo of your child. The hero is drawn from a description you give, so your child's face does not go into an AI model.
Story Nook is built for children to use together with a parent, with no ads, no tracking and no photo of your child. Accounts are created and managed by an adult, text generation uses strict content-safety settings, and an adult should still review anything before sharing it. The safety page explains each point.
No. Story Nook shows no third-party advertising, uses no behavioural-advertising or tracking SDKs, and does not sell personal information.
It makes storybooks, coloring books and puzzle books, such as mazes and word searches, all starring the characters your child invents. Spot-the-difference, memory-match and pair-up games also fill the minute while a book is drawn.
About a minute. Games fill that minute instead of a loading bar.
English, Spanish, French and German, for both the app and the books it makes.
Twelve art styles to choose from.
Yes. Each book exports to PDF or EPUB, and Story Nook can make a print-ready file for Kindle Direct Publishing. You upload that file to your own KDP account, because Story Nook does not print or ship books itself.
Each hero gets a character sheet that later pages and books use as a reference, which is meant to keep them looking consistent. AI can still make small differences, and you can fix a page in the editor.
Yes. You sign in with an email address and a display name, and an adult is meant to create and manage the account.
Story text and illustrations are produced by Google's Gemini models. The prompts you enter (topic, character description, story text and art style) are sent to Google to generate the result.
Account data and saved books are stored with Supabase in the European Union. Copies of your books are also kept on your device, so saved books load quickly and can work offline.
In the app, go to Profile, then Delete my account. This permanently removes your account, your saved books and your stored illustrations.
Yes. The For Grown-Ups area, behind a quick grown-up check, lets a parent hide the games and set a screen-time timer.
Story Nook is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. There is no Android app.
