Open the app and the stories begin. 18 free bilingual stories for bedtime and car rides, plus three new story packs. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking.

Uncle Bear tells stories about the world in Chinese and English — helping kids aged 3-8 discover the world while picking up everyday English, one bedtime at a time.

◆ Stories that open up the world

• Topics range from Taiwanese folklore and everyday science to world classics: the zodiac animals, the Nian beast, day and night, rainbows, seeds, caterpillars becoming butterflies...
• Kids get to know the world through stories, not flashcard drills
• The library keeps growing; the format stays the same

◆ Bilingual, with Chinese as the scaffold

• Cultural ideas (the zodiac, Chang'e, Sun Moon Lake...) are explained clearly in Chinese
• Each episode teaches 4-6 high-frequency everyday English sentences, each followed by a plain-Chinese recap the first time it appears
• Understandable and usable — not a curriculum, no pronunciation scoring

◆ Screen-free English exposure

• Made for listening — no need to stare at a screen
• Each episode runs 3-5 minutes, opening with "Story time!" and closing with "Good night!" to build a daily ritual
• Every episode ends with a recall question and a pause, inviting kids to speak up before the answer plays

◆ Plays on the lock screen

• Background playback with lock-screen controls, perfect for bedtime and car rides

◆ Every episode ends on its own

• No autoplay into the next episode — parents decide whether to play one more

◆ Word cards for reading together

• Tap a word card to hear the word read aloud — a light interaction for parents reading along with their kids

◆ Offline and private

• Free stories come bundled; purchased story packs play offline once downloaded
• No account, no sign-up, Data Not Collected, no analytics SDKs
