Description
Alexander publishes diverse, truly international audio entertainment. Original true stories about culture, sexuality, love, death, nature, science and society, to accompany you wherever you go.
Alexander stories come from many cultures and ethnicities: from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, China, Lebanon, Iran, Trinidad, Singapore, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Canada, France, India, Syria, Australia, South America, the US and the UK. But they all come from somewhere else, too. A conviction that we understand the world best when we use our imagination to engage with it.
This summer, Alexander launches a themed season on water ecosystems. Stories on the lives of endangered aquatic species such as the dugong and vaquita, and the people who exist alongside them. Stories on the futuristic powers of seaweed, the rights-of-nature movements conferring personhood on rivers, and the beautiful, otherworldly lifeforms flourishing deep beneath the Antarctic ice. Stories from the waterworlds all over our blue planet.
Alexander provides:
- ACCLAIMED WRITERS. Exclusive, hour-long original features written by the finest authors and journalists working today.
- CELEBRATED NARRATORS. The best-known actors from around the world narrate each story for an extraordinary listening experience.
- NEW EXCLUSIVE FEATURES, EVERY TWO WEEKS. Themes range from culture to crime, Hollywood to the environment, science to sexuality.
- CURATED BY EXPERTS - NOT BY ALGORITHMS. Filter our collection for new releases, topical themes and your favorite writers.
- NO ADS, NOW AND FOREVER. We will always provide an ad-free experience.
- MOVE SEAMLESSLY BETWEEN TEXT AND AUDIO. Tap anywhere in the text to start narration, make a note, share a quote, or look up a word in the dictionary.

Ratings and Reviews
Fabulous
I love this app! Wonderful stories. You can read and listen at the same time or enjoy the artistic yet informative videos! Thank you :)
I know this is a new app but it’d be nice to add a feature that we could continue reading at the very same place we left the app.
£15/month No prices shown until you sign up
It so irritating that the prices aren’t shown. You have to go through the downloading and signing up process before you get the prices. So if you don’t like the price, you have to delete again and it was all a waste of time. Then in order to waste your time even further it won’t delete your account until you type a phrase into a box. Even then, you can’t proceed… until you realise it’s case-sensitive.
And they presumably have your contact details after all this.
To save you the bother, it’s little under £15/ month or ninety-something per year. You can’t listen to anything without signing up. You get 7 days free trial but then they will charge so don’t forget to cancel it if you don’t want to continue!
Good idea but not great value
This is a great idea, I like the option to listen to or read the content, and to see where you’ve got to on the audio if you want to switch to text. But it’s not easy to see if any new content has been added - I’ve subscribed for over a month and it’s not obvious if there’s been anything new in that time. A ‘date added’ button would help. One item in particular has been advertised as ‘coming soon’ the whole time I’ve been subscribed, but still hasn’t appeared. Once I’ve listened to all the ones I’m interested in I will probably cancel my subscription.
