About

Pocket Stage turns a puppet show into a way to catch your child's reactions. The paper theater makes your child laugh, gasp and cheer on the wolf; you play the story and take the photo at the perfect moment.

HOW IT WORKS Each thumb leads one paper puppet. Slide it to walk, tap an action and the puppet bows, hops or waves, just like a rod puppet on a stick. Story cards prompt you scene by scene: who comes on stage, what happens next, and a question that gets your little audience talking. The voice and the imagination are yours. One tap on the shutter button saves the moment as a photo.

ON iPHONE DUO Fold the phone and turn the outer display toward your child. The stage fills the outer display, so your child watches the show while you keep the puppet controls, the story card and the camera monitor on the inner display. You see your child's face and never miss the look they make when the wolf appears. Your child sees no buttons.

ON iPAD AND ANY iPHONE WITH iOS 27 On iPad the stage and the controls sit side by side in landscape, or one above the other in portrait; on a regular iPhone the stage is at the top and the controls below. Sit next to your child or prop the device up, play, and catch the reactions with the front camera.

WHAT'S INSIDE • Three classic tales you already know: Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, The Tortoise and the Hare • Paper-style puppets, forest and cottage scenery, day and night lighting, props the puppets pick up • Story cards in five languages: English, Czech, Spanish, German, French • Sound effects, a gong and applause, or play in silence • Free play with any puppet and any scenery • Photos from the show are saved to your Photos library, and you see them all when the curtain closes

MORE STORIES Add the Winter Tales pack with three more tales: The Snow Queen, The Nutcracker and The Elves and the Shoemaker (in-app purchase).

NO SCREEN TIME TRICKS No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Nothing is collected and nothing leaves your phone. The camera image is never recorded; photos go only to your own Photos library. On iPhone Duo your child sees only the stage: no text, no buttons, no feed.

Pocket Stage requires iOS 27. The outer display is available on iPhone Duo; the photo button works on every iPhone.
