Wonder Radio plays the library end to end and never repeats a story you've already heard. Now with background audio, landscape reading, and a brightness slider.
Wonder History turns real events into illustrated stories worth reading.
Every story is built around something that actually happened — an empire rising, a turning point in a war, an invention that changed daily life, a person who altered the course of things. Each one is written to be read in a sitting, illustrated throughout, and narrated so it can be listened to instead.
THE WHOLE LIBRARY IS FREE
Every story opens without an account and without payment. No ads. No interruptions.
BUILT FOR READING
• Illustrated stories across ancient to contemporary history
• Narration on every story, with background playback
• Timelines and discovery lanes for browsing by era, place or theme
• Offline reading once a story is downloaded
• 13 languages, including full right-to-left support for Arabic
FOR FAMILIES
• Child profiles, each with their own reading history and streaks
• Parental controls with a PIN, age filters and time limits
• A parent view showing what has actually been read
Sign in only if you want progress saved across devices, favourites and streaks. Reading itself never requires an account.

WONDER RADIO
Press play once and the library plays itself. A continuous shuffle of narrated stories that never repeats one you have already heard. Filter it by category, and control it from a mini bar that stays with you anywhere in the app.
LISTENING
- Audio keeps playing when you leave the app, with controls on your lock screen
- Set a default playback speed once and it stays set
- Wi-Fi-only auto-download, so nothing large arrives over cellular
READING
- Landscape reading
- A brightness slider that works everywhere in the app, independent of your device setting
- Move between books straight from the book page, by swipe or by arrow
- Reading Mood themes and Bedtime Mode, now labeled so you can tell what each one does
- Plain A- and A+ buttons for font size, replacing a control that cycled unpredictably
- Reduced motion and data saver options
FIXED
- The play button no longer goes blank for a few seconds after you tap it
- Books open on the first page, not on a summary page that was never part of the book
- Every book on the home shelves now shows its title
- Searching no longer jumps you to a different screen
- 43 illustrations that had quietly failed to load now load
- "Download failed" no longer appears over audio that is playing perfectly well
- Category banners show real covers again
- Stories still in preparation can no longer be opened by mistake
- Character artwork can be tapped to zoom on iPhone
The how-to popup is gone, and the sign-in screen is simpler, with reading as a guest kept in plain sight.
