Is there a bedtime story app where my child chooses what happens next?
Yes. After each chapter, LullaTale offers two or three choices for what happens next so your child steers the story. Continuing a story with new chapters and story choices is part of Premium, while creating stories and listening to the first chapter of each is free.
