We rebuilt much of My Story's code to prepare it for exciting new features in the near future! Please reach out to us on Twitter to help us build things that will inspire new levels of creativity! @mystoryapp
What's New:
* Rebuilt codebase on Swift to ensure compatibility into the future
* Added a new onboarding tutorial for new users to get a jump start on using the app
* Fun sound effects on button presses - you can disable this in the Grown-Ups section any time
* Updated settings view with more useful features
* Get help faster - New in-app support ticket submission
* Updated compatibility to iOS 14+

We have a really fun update for our millions of little fans using My Story in over 128 countries! Hooray, backgrounds and custom fonts galore!
With the new backgrounds feature it's easier than ever to give your story pages backgrounds that can't be moved when drawing over them. Pick from dozens of pre-selected options (rainbows, castles, cities, farms, alphabet template, grids, frames and more!). Simply tap the pen/pencil tool, drag and scroll the view to the right twice and you'll see all of the fun and colorful backgrounds. Of course, you can add your own images from the photo library and camera as well.
The text tool has also been updated to include over 50 fonts now that you can use to update the text you put on canvas. Choose from whimsical fancy fonts, or serious bold fonts, whatever works best for your story.
Let us know what kinds of backgrounds and fonts you'd like to see in future versions of My Story and we'll do our best to get them in.
Keep the great suggestions coming, and as always, help us out by writing a review.

We've got some great goodies in this version that we're excited for you to get in front of the kiddos:
* Import/Export My Story stories: You now have the ability to import/export .mystory files between iPads. So you can now create a story template on one device, save it, send it, Airplay it, whatever you like, and open it on any other copy of My Story. Simply "Share Story" as a My Story Book in the share dialogue.
* Copy/Move stories between authors: Based on popular demand, you can finally copy and move stories among authors on the same iPad! Simply tap "edit" at the top of any author's library, select a book, and you'll have new options to copy/move. Select the author you want to move or copy the story to, and that's it. This is also a great way to re-use templates for your class.
* Shapes Tool: Another highly requested feature. Now you can create simple shapes: squares, circles, triangles, and lines of various colors. Simply select your color of choice, then pick the drawing tool, swipe to the left to see backgrounds, swipe again and you'll see the new shapes. To get the drawing tools again, simply go back to the pens button, and swipe back and select your pen or brush of choice.
Your ratings and reviews really help our small team continue to support My Story's growth, please help us by writing a review!
Note: Dropbox is phasing out their sync API, so we are going to be disabling that feature until we can find a good alternative. Current users will continue to have Dropbox syncing enabled for a few more months, but we are disabling new users from signing up with Dropbox sync. Please send us feedback at
[email protected] if you have any recommendations for us.
