Key features include Read to Me, Read Myself, Auto-Play modes, word highlight, Create mode, offline reading, and the ability to save and share musical artwork. Water, Water Everywhere is the free starter story. The app is ad-supported with optional in-app purchases and designed around Baby Einstein's Einstein Way to support multisensory learning, creative thinking, and confidence.
