generated children’s stories with custom characters, settings, lessons, and music. As the App Store listing assures parents, “You don’t need to write a single word.”

This saddens me, i used to make up stories all the time when my kids were young. it got to the point where i had to blend scary and whimsical cause each of my daughters had different tastes. I do admit it got repetitive after a while but thats the game. I also understand that some people do lack imagination, even no inner monologues. So i guess it could help some people.
