Hey!
How can we help?
General
Augmented Reality enhances the real-life environment by overlaying computer-generated objects into your existing surroundings.
AR is an incredibly powerful tool that deeply enhances the educational value of a book. Augmented reality makes reading fun and exciting, which instills in children a strong passion for it. By making the plot and characters interactive, augmented reality allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of a book’s content.
Bookful is easy to use and works on AR supported Apple and Android devices. There are comprehensive in-app guides and walkthroughs to help users along, as well as an animated help book that can be viewed in AR!
Bookful is free to download. After you have downloaded the app you will have the opportunity to purchase a subscription, which will give you access to all the books and games in the Bookful library.
Yes, Bookful is completely safe for children and is COPPA-certified (meaning, we don’t collect your child’s info, keeping it extra safe!). All content is designed for children and as such, all content is age appropriate.
Early readers are targeted at young learners who are starting on their first books or learning basic English. These include Bookful Level 1 & 2 titles which contain basic vocabulary in singular words or simple sentences.
Yes! Besides young readers, we also have older users who use Bookful to learn and improve their English. The incremental book levels make Bookful the perfect tool to improve one’s grasp of the language.
We recommend some of our Early Readers titles, and then move up at your own pace.
Let’s grow together!

Content
No, you don’t need the physical book to use Bookful. Activate the app by pointing your device at any surface and the book will appear in front of you along with the animations.
Bookful holds the world’s largest AR&3D library with hundreds of books and games. We add new books regularly, so make sure to stay up to date on our social media channels!
Our user interface is designed to be super user-friendly, especially for children. The Bookful playground map allows for children to visually navigate through the app. We also have a help book, that explains how Bookful works and showcases the different features within the app.
Bookful encourages children to explore books independently and allows for children to read by themselves, read with an adult, or have the story narrated to them. While independent reading is certainly encouraged, Bookful also provides parents and children with an opportunity to engage in a magical reading experience together.
Yes. Our hope is that just as a child would return to the same physical book, a child would return to a book in AR multiple times. In fact, Bookful’s AR books and activities are designed to encourage children to interact with them repeatedly. The animations add so much to the books that we believe children will want to come back again and again.
This is where you’ll find all the books you’ve read. Although it’s empty when you first use Bookful, we’re sure that your collection will grow pretty quickly!
These are books that you can interact with different objects and characters – touch the screen to see the AR&3D image pop up!
Everyone! Our interactive books are currently designed for young learners. Pick from common categories such as shapes and colors – these are basic descriptive words that are building blocks for a child’s vocabulary.
We have plans to bring the interactive feature to more advanced books in the future.
The games available on Bookful are playful and delightful activities, designed to relate the kids back to the books at all times. Some of them are educational – like our ‘Spell It’ and ‘Repeat After Me’ games; and some are just there for fun – dancing with Peter Rabbit and watching a dinosaur come to life in your living room will blow you away!
Yes! We already have a Spanish and a Chinese shelf and we are working hard on translating more books in our library.
We are always looking to expand our library with fascinating titles. Stay tuned, and feel free to send any suggestions our way.
