Support & FAQ

How do I start reading?

Once you download the Worldly app and create an account (or sign in as a guest), you can browse the story library from the home screen. Tap any story to start reading. Your progress is automatically saved, so you can pick up where you left off anytime.

How do choices work?

In branching stories, you'll encounter decision points where you can choose how the story continues. Simply tap one of the options to proceed. Your choices shape your unique path through the story. You can always go back and try different choices to explore alternative storylines.

Can I change my choices?

Yes! Use the backtrack feature to return to previous sections and make different choices. This lets you explore all the different paths and endings in branching stories.

What age is Worldly appropriate for?

Worldly is designed for young readers, typically grades 2-8 (ages 7-14). Each story is tagged with a grade level range to help you find age-appropriate content. We offer the same classics adapted for different reading levels.

Do I need an account?

You can browse and read stories without an account, but creating a free account lets you:

• Save your reading progress across devices
• Bookmark favorite stories
• Customize reading preferences (font, text size)
• Track which stories you've completed

How do I customize my reading experience?

Open any story and tap the settings icon to adjust:

• Font family (choose from several reading-friendly fonts)
• Text size (make text larger or smaller)
• Theme (light or dark mode)

Your preferences are saved and apply to all stories.

How do I delete my account and data?

You can request account deletion through the app settings, or visit our data deletion page for instructions. This will permanently remove all your account data, including reading progress and preferences.

How many stories are available?

We currently offer 13+ stories, including adapted classics like Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, and original stories like Squad 66. We're regularly adding new stories and expanding existing ones.

Are the stories safe for kids?

Yes. All content is carefully reviewed and rated for appropriate grade levels. Worldly has:

• No ads or in-app purchases
• No social features or chat
• No user-generated content from other readers
• Age-appropriate adaptations of classic literature

What's the difference between linear and branching stories?

Linear stories are traditional narratives that follow the classic storyline from beginning to end. They're great for readers who want to experience a timeless tale in its original form.

Branching stories offer full choose-your-own-adventure gameplay with multiple paths and endings. These are perfect for readers who want to make choices, explore different possibilities, and replay stories to find all the outcomes.
