Pitara is a bilingual storytelling app for kids ages 3 to 13. Read any story in two languages at once, in Hindi, English, Tamil, Kannada, French, Spanish, or German. Every story comes with age-adaptive quizzes, badges, and a Story Star celebration. Magic Mode brings stories alive with animated visuals and narration. Record stories in your own voice for nights you're not there. One new story across all 7 languages, every single day. Ad-free, safe, free to start. No card needed.
Hi Product Hunt, Nidhi here. My husband and I started Pitara Stories because we were tired of the trade-off every parent makes: hand the kids a screen and feel guilty, or fight the daily battle to keep them off it. We wanted our own kids to grow up with stories in every language we speak at home, in Hindi, in English, with the rhythm and warmth of how their grandparents tell them. So we built it.
Pitara Stories has beautifully illustrated stories for kids ages 3 to 13 in 7 languages: Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, French, Spanish, German, and English. Three ways to enjoy each story:
- Read along together at bedtime
- Listen with Play Mode while drawing or winding down
- Watch stories come alive in Magic Mode with synced animation and narration
But the two things we're most proud of:
Bilingual Reading. Every line of any story shows in two languages on screen, with tap-to-play audio for each. Pick any pair from our 7 languages. A user actually asked us to build this in a Google Play review back in April. We replied saying we were on it. We shipped it a month later. He updated his review yesterday calling Pitara "the ultimate, all-in-one app for learners." That kind of feedback loop is what we're building toward.
Quizzes & Story Stars. After every story, age-adaptive quizzes help kids remember what they heard. Picture quizzes for the younger ones, reading quizzes for older kids. Each one ends with a Story Star celebration and a badge to earn. 30 achievements to collect as they grow.
Parents can also record stories in their own voice, so kids hear mom or dad or grandma narrating even when they're not in the room. This is the feature that has gotten the most emotional feedback from our users so far.
Free to start. No card needed. New stories added every day.
We'd love your feedback, especially from parents who've struggled with the same screen time guilt we did. If you're raising bilingual kids, what's been your best hack for keeping the mother tongue alive at home? Genuinely curious to hear what's worked.
