Stories from real families
See how families are using Avery to bring more audio adventures into their lives.
"My kids finally have something that's theirs. They pick their own stories, control their own volume, and I don't worry about what they're seeing."
"Bedtime used to be a battle over screen time. Now it's 'one more episode of Story Pirates' - and I'm fine with that."
"We use Avery in our Montessori classroom. The children love having control over their audio environment during quiet time."
