Reading with Lylli should be both easy and magical. In our reader you can choose how to experience each book. Listen, Read by yourself or have the book read aloud to you. Here is a quick guide on how to get the most out of our reading experience:

‍

đź“– Choose how to experience the book

You can always select between three ways to experience a book:

  • Listen – lean back and enjoy a traditional audiobook experience
  • Read Aloud – follow along while the narrator reads the book for you.
  • Read yourself – turn off narration and read by yourself in your own pace.


👆 Flip through at your own pace

No matter the mode you choose to experience a book, you can always flip the pages by yourself. Just swipe from one page to the next. (For parents of toddlers, you can also enable 2-finger swipes to reduce unwanted page flips.)


🎀 Use “the ribbon"

By tapping “The ribbon” you can get to a control panel while reading:

  • Start, pause or resume narration.
  • Restart the book
  • Add the book as a favorite, to help finding it later on.


⚙️ Explore setting

Under “the ribbon” you can find more smart features in Settings:

  • Dark mode – Easy on the eyes, for bedtime routines
  • Two-finger swipes - remove unwanted pageflips when reading with your hand-on child.
  • Turn off auto play – That way we wont autoplay the next page when the current page is done.
  • Zoom – enlarge text or images when needed.
  • Turn off audio when you lock the screen – perfect if you don’t want the audio to keep playing when you lock the screen.

✨ Tips: Try different settings to find a setup that works for you and your child.
