WHY FAMILIES LOVE IT

One friendly bird, three ways to grow a reader

Loro reads real books and this week’s word list aloud — patiently, on repeat — and keeps your family close while doing it.

Reads any book aloud

Snap the pages of a real book and Loro reads every word out loud in a warm, gentle voice — building a library your child can read back.

Ready for dictation night

Snap the weekly word list and Loro reads each word aloud — clear, patient, on repeat — while your child writes, hands-free.

Sounds out tricky words

Tap a word to hear it slowly, sound by sound — the friendly way to grow a confident reader.

Speaks 40+ languages

English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian and more. Switch the voice with a single tap.

Notes for the whole family

Kids draw, record and snap little messages for Mum, Dad and grandparents to treasure.

Safe & private by design

No data selling, COPPA-aligned, and an optional $2/mo plan removes ads completely.

HOW IT WORKS

Three taps, then Loro takes over

No reading aloud required from you. Little hands can do it all on their own.

  1. 1

    Snap a book or word list

    Photograph any book page or this week’s spelling list — Loro spots every word instantly.

  2. 2

    Loro reads aloud

    He reads each word in a warm voice, waits, and repeats on demand — while your child follows or writes.

  3. 3

    Read back & connect

    Kids read the story back for a friendly score, then leave a voice note or drawing for the family.

PARENT APPROVED

Grown-ups love it just as much

  • “Dictation night used to mean me reading the list aloud ten times. Now Loro does it and my daughter just writes — I finally get to sit with her instead of drilling her.”
    👩 Sara M. Mum of two, London
  • “Finally a kids’ app I don’t have to police. Calm, gentle learning she can do alone — nothing creepy, and a tap to go ad-free.”
    🧔 David K. Dad of a 5-year-old
  • “We’re raising our son bilingual, and Loro reads his spelling words in both languages. He loves leaving us little voice notes to play back at bedtime.”
    👩‍🦱 Lucía R. Mum, Barcelona
  • “My daughter records little voice notes of herself reading her favourite page. I’ve saved every single one — they’re tiny time capsules.”
    👩 Emma T. Mum of two, Leeds
  • “As a teacher I’m fussy about apps. This one actually builds decoding — and my own two beg for ‘Loro time’ after dinner.”
    👩‍🏫 Priya S. Primary teacher & mum
  • “Dictation for twins used to be chaos. Now they each go at their own pace with Loro and I referee far less.”
    🧑 Marco B. Dad of twins, Milan
  • “My son ‘hated reading’. Snapping his comic so Loro reads along was the trick — he finishes whole books now.”
    👩‍🦰 Chloe W. Mum of a reluctant reader
  • “He records himself reading, plays it back, and hears how much better he’s got. That’s what finally made reading click for him.”
    🧔 Kenji T. Dad, Osaka
