Week 11 (#3): FarFaria: Kid's Stories for the iPad!

There truly is an app for everything; including children's books! FarFaria, a new subscription-based children's storybook app for the iPad, offers a collection of nearly 100 stories with more being added all the time. The stories are both independently sourced and illustrated as well as sourced from the public domain, like Peter Rabbit. The app is free to download, but requires a $3.99 per month subscription to access the content; with a free one-month trial. This is a great alternative to buying individual books in the iTunes App store or other kids' books apps that rely on in-app purchases. FarFaria does not bog up the app with pop-up ads, prompts to purchases, or anything else that would get in the way of a child viewing a story. The app was soft-launched in February and a public launch is expected next week. 

The platform of FarFaria is based on a map of make-believe lands where stories are grouped by genre.The lands are aptly named: "Picture Point Island," "Fairytale Forest," "Fable Hills," "Loony Lagoon," "Classics Grove," "GoodLand" and "Bedtime Bluffs," for example. The stories are appropriate for a broad range of ages; from toddlers to about eight years old.
