Yomi is a little cat who gets fed when kids read stories aloud. Speech recognition listens along, kids can tap any tricky word to hear it, and a simple wizard lets them make up their own stories to read back. Real stories come at three levels, so kids pick what feels right today. What's not in it: streaks, ads, accounts, or data collection. No one loses a 14-day streak at bedtime. Yomi won't teach your kid to read, it gives them a reason to practice. Ages 5–9, English & Finnish, iOS.
