Please check your spam or junk folder if the email does not arrive. Contact Motion Storybooks with your order number if you need help.
Why do I download the Vooks app?
Motion Storybooks is your retailer and sends your access code. The Vooks app is where you redeem that code and enjoy the stories. You do not need to purchase the same access again in the app.
How long does 1 Year Access last?
The paid product provides 12 months of access with one payment and no automatic renewal. It is separate from the 7-day free trial.
How does the 7-day free trial work?
The trial provides 7 days to explore the library. No payment details are required for the trial, and it does not automatically become a paid annual purchase. To continue afterwards, choose the separate 1 Year Access product.
Can I use it without internet?
You need an internet connection to set up access, stream and download stories. Once downloaded in the app, a story can be watched offline on that same device. Download in advance for travel or places with limited connectivity.
Which devices can I use?
Use compatible phones, tablets, computers and smart TVs. App availability and features vary by device; check compatibility before buying if you plan to use a particular TV or school device.
Can I give annual access as a gift?
Yes. The access code is emailed to the address entered at checkout, so you can forward it to the recipient with the redemption instructions.
Do you offer school or ministry access?
Yes. We discuss licensing for schools, nurseries, libraries, education ministries and literacy programmes. Explore Schools & Ministries, then tell us about your learners, devices and connectivity so we can propose suitable access.
Where can I find the research?
Evidence and teacher feedback about the underlying platform are published by Vooks, rather than collected by Motion Storybooks. Read the provider’s research summary (PDF) for the study and survey context.
