Frequently asked questions

Trying it costs nothing and needs no sign-up: you create a story and read it yourself. For classroom use, meaning distribution to your class, longer stories and the full statistics, there are paid plans. Try first, decide later.

Not for reading. You share a story by QR code or email and your students start reading right away, with no install. For trying ReadMe out that is the fastest way. For ongoing work it is better when everyone registers: signed-in users can use the app on several devices, and working together in class goes more smoothly.

Personal data, meaning names, student profiles and learning progress, is stored exclusively at Hetzner in Germany. AI providers receive only anonymous creative instructions such as topic, genre, age group and language level, never personal data. Our data processing overview lists every provider and what it processes.

We have concluded data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR with every provider that processes personal data. Product data is held on servers in Germany, and AI providers receive no personal data. Our legal texts are maintained by IT-Recht Kanzlei.

A finished, branching story is ready in minutes, matched to your class, the genre and your learning goals. You enter topic, language and level, the AI does the rest. Distributing it to the class takes about another minute.

Yes. Stories are written in 20 languages, and for every story you can generate a linguistically simplified version. Students tap any word they do not know while reading and get it explained.

You have the right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR at any time. Data that is no longer needed for its purpose is deleted; only where statutory retention periods apply, such as commercial and tax law, does the data concerned stay stored until that period ends. Our privacy policy lists all data subject rights.
