“What we wanted to do with the app is encourage parents to sit with their children and go through the apps with them as part of family time,” she said.

“We also wanted to do something a bit unique.

“My son was quite a reluctant reader and I was a little bit concerned, as he didn’t really respond to books.

“I thought that making it a bit more interactive, interesting and fun would encourage children to read. It’s just an added reason to engage.”

The app, which has no adverts or in-app purchases, is aimed at three to eight-year-olds.
