Disney Story Realms

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Disney Story Realms presents classic Disney stories and characters in a digital storybook plus an interactive setting from the story that kids can explore. In the story realms kids move around to see props, characters, and find a handful of mini-games to play. With the free download, kids can visit the Beauty and the Beast realm, play games, and read the first chapter. The rest of the story and all additional content are available only through individual in-app purchases which are protected by a parents gate. Though the activities themselves are appropriate for younger kids, the volume of in-app purchases make it best for slightly older kids. There's an option to use a dyslexic support font, but there's no read-to-me option, so kids need to be fairly strong readers if they're going to read on their own. The default is that kids can unlock pages from the story by playing games in story realm though parents can choose to unlock the whole story through the parents' section. There parents will also find an option to limit the amount of time kids can use the app. Disney Story Realms doesn't work on older devices and needs a fair amount of free storage space. Check the app description and your device's available storage to see if this app is compatible with your device. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
