Most questions are answered below. If yours is not, write to us — telling us the device and roughly when the problem happened usually saves a round trip.

Is Boodo free?

Yes. There are no in-app purchases, no subscription, no locked stories and no advertising. Every child using Boodo gets all of it.

Does Boodo record my child's voice?

No. When your child reads aloud, the words are recognised, compared with the story, and the audio is discarded immediately. Boodo never stores or uploads a recording.

Does Boodo work without internet?

Yes. Eighty-two stories and every illustration are inside the app when you install it, so it works on a plane, in a car, and in a home with no broadband. When there is a connection, new stories arrive in the background.

What age is Boodo for?

Boodo is designed for children aged about four to ten.

Does my child need an account?

No. Children do not create accounts. A profile is made on the device and the reading history stays there unless a school has connected the tablet.

How do I connect Boodo to my child's school?

A school gives you a short code. Open the grown-up settings, turn on the school option and type the code in once. It is optional — everything else works without it.

Which devices does Boodo run on?

iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later, and Android phones and tablets running Android 8 or later.
