Happy MyStoryMates Families
Stories made with love, remembered forever.
“I used MyStoryMates to create a delightful story about my grandson. The prompts were easy to understand and follow. I also appreciated the editing options for visual style, wording, and drawings. MyStoryMates was a wonderful way to create a one of a kind story that my grandchildren will enjoy over and over again!”
“MyStoryMates is not only fun to use, it is magical! From uploading pics of our stuffed animals to our kiddos, it was a breeze to use and was so cool to have so many options for the artwork. I honestly was almost teary when I saw the final product because I just knew how incredible the kids would think it was. The editing was easy to use for rewrites and line-by-line editing alike. I am looking very forward to making another story with one of my favorite kids soon!”
“MyStoryMates allows me to build fun stories about our family pet for kids that teach valuable life lessons, such a fun and awesome app!”
“MyStoryMates was fun and easy to use. It was a lot of fun being able to quickly create a story based on our actual pets and stuffies based on their personalities. The platform is easy to navigate and my daughter and I created a story together. We love creating stories together, and this gives kids and parents the ability to create a story that can be revisited over and over again.”
