About us

Bloom Step Labs is an independent studio based in Islamabad, Pakistan. We believe the best screen time is shared time, so we build apps that bring parents and children closer: reading together, learning new words and growing a love of stories.

Tale Hoot is our first app. Families everywhere can read and create stories in the app, and families in Pakistan can also order printed books.
