Raise - Virtual Assistant for Parents

Over 3000 pieces of free content, updated daily and aimed at children aged 0 to 10, sit at the center of Raise.

Raise is a parenting assistant app that gives parents an encyclopedia of articles plus blogs, podcasts and comics, including bedtime stories you can play at night.

The app was developed by experts in education and digital technology, according to its makers.

It also has family connection features, so relatives can stay linked through the same app.

Raise further points you to trusted organizations that offer educational, healthcare, consumer goods, entertainment and financial products and services.

That last part reads partly as a directory of partners, so expect some commercial content alongside the advice.

Raise is free to use, which makes it easy to try on a phone.
