About Us

Cloudaloud is a streaming app dedicated to promoting children’s literacy through the art of audiobooks.

Cloudaloud was created by audiobook producers who believe that reading and having access to books are critical to children’s intellectual and emotional development, engagement with the world, and overall happiness. We are committed to bringing wonderful, vibrant stories to life and making them widely available using the latest technology, whilst protecting young people from inappropriate content.

Our platform is a “walled garden,” self-contained and secure, a safe place for children to wander. They are encouraged to explore for themselves, to access new information, and to begin building their own collections. Our integrated bookshop will make it easy to purchase print and e-books as well, so listeners can read along or follow the illustrations.

With an intuitive and attractive layout, our app invites children of all ages to discover new stories, enjoy beloved classics, and listen to personal favourites. The bookshop will accept pre-paid credits purchased within the parental control centre, where age-range settings also ensure that children only see relevant and suitable content. With these safeguards in place, children are free to make choices independently based on which stories speak to them. This unique process fosters a deep love of books and helps build confidence.

We believe in supporting, acknowledging, and fairly remunerating all the people who contribute to creating great audiobooks: authors, illustrators, publishers, actors, musicians, and technicians – people whose work deserves to be seen and heard.

We’ve collaborated with app developers who have a wealth of experience building creative and engaging educational platforms. Their clients include CBeebies, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and Cambridge University Press.

Cloudaloud brings together audiobooks, e-books, and printed books in one place.
