Getting Started

What is Moontales?
Moontales is a story creation app designed for children ages 0-11. It is built for parent-guided reading, listening, and storytime.
How do I create a story?
  1. Open the app and tap Create Story
  2. Enter your idea
  3. Select options such as language (and other preferences if available)
  4. Wait a moment while the story is generated
  5. Start reading or listening
Can I use Moontales without signing in?
Yes — you can use Moontales in guest mode. Some features (like syncing across devices, saving a library across devices, or subscriptions) require signing in. A parent or legal guardian should manage sign-in, purchases, and optional uploads for a child.

Subscription & Billing

What plans are available?
Moontales offers Basic, Plus, and Premium plans. Availability and limits can vary by region and may change over time. You can always see the current options, pricing, and billing period inside the app and in the Apple App Store.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple.
  • Open iOS Settings
  • Tap your Apple ID (top of the screen)
  • Tap SubscriptionsMoontalesCancel Subscription
Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period.

Can I get a refund?
Refunds are handled by Apple. Please request a refund through Apple’s purchase history or Apple Support. If something is broken inside the app, email us and we’ll help.
Note: Story limits and quota resets can vary by plan. You can see your current limits inside the app.

Personal Voice Plus / Premium

What is Personal Voice?
Personal Voice lets you narrate stories using a voice model created from a short voice sample (for example, a parent, guardian, or narrator voice).
How does voice processing work?
If you choose to use Personal Voice, your voice recording is processed by ElevenLabs to create a voice model. We do not store the raw audio recording on our servers — we store only a voice ID so you can reuse the feature without re-recording.
Can I delete my Personal Voice?
Yes. You can delete it anytime in the app in SettingsPersonal Voice. After deletion, you’ll need to record again to recreate it.

Privacy & Safety

What data do you collect?
We collect the minimum information needed to run the app, such as account details (if you sign in), story progress (opened/completed/last page), library state (saved stories), and subscription status. We do not use third-party analytics, third-party advertising, or cross-app tracking in Moontales. We do not sell personal information for advertising.
Do you use third-party services?
Yes, we use trusted providers to operate the Service — for example:
  • Apple for sign-in and in-app subscriptions
  • AWS for secure cloud hosting and storage
  • ElevenLabs for Personal Voice processing (optional)
Details are described in our Privacy Policy.
Can I upload a face photo to personalize illustrations?
Yes (optional). If you enable Face Upload, we store the uploaded photo in private cloud storage (not publicly accessible) and use it only to generate the personalized illustrations you request. You can remove it anytime in SettingsFace Upload. You must only upload photos you own or have permission to use. For a child profile, the upload should be handled by a parent/legal guardian or another authorized adult.
Where is the uploaded photo shown in the app?
For convenience, the app may keep a local copy on your device so it can be displayed without downloading each time. You can remove the uploaded photo from Moontales in SettingsFace Upload.
Can I delete my account and data?
If your version includes it, you can delete your account in SettingsAccountDelete Account. You can also request account deletion by emailing support@moontales.app from the email address associated with your account. A parent or legal guardian can also contact us to request deletion of a child’s information. We aim to complete deletion within 30 days, except where limited retention is required for legal or fraud-prevention reasons.

Troubleshooting

Story generation is taking too long
Generation usually takes under a minute, but can vary. Try:
  • Check your internet connection
  • Close and reopen the app
  • Try again later if services are busy
I can’t hear narration
  • Turn up device volume and disable silent mode
  • Try headphones
  • Check if other apps can play audio
