The app now opens on real stories - your very first press of play is a story, not a tour. Hear a real sample right from the welcome tour with one big play button. Plus honest offline behavior: clear notices and a waiting-for-connection state instead of endless spinners - downloaded stories and discoveries always play.

CarPlay now shows cover art throughout - every playlist and story carries its illustration on the car's screen, so the list reads at a glance on the road. Plus a round of small fixes and polish.

Now on CarPlay. Browse your playlists on the car's screen, pick one, and it plays in order — stories and discoveries, hands-free, with your eyes on the road. Plus clearer Discoveries and a round of small fixes and polish across the app.

Made for the in-between. TaleBird now leans into the moments you'd usually fill with a screen - the drive, the school run, the waiting room, the wind-down. Press play and they become a story or a short discovery your kids will actually remember. New in this version: - Hands-free with Siri. Say "Play stories in TaleBird" and the queue starts, eyes on the road. A new Siri & Voice guide in Settings shows every phrase. - Keepsake poster. Turn a whole story into one print-ready poster to save, share, or print as a gift. - A fresh focus on stories AND curious Discoveries - how things work, history, nature - queued, downloaded, and ready to keep kids listening, learning, and imagining, offline and over Bluetooth. - Polish throughout, with clearer now-playing details on the lock screen and in the car.

A warmer welcome. • A shorter, warmer welcome tour shows how one photo becomes your child's illustrated hero - and takes you straight to adding your first hero • See a sample page before subscribing: one photo becomes a storybook scene, so you know exactly what Studio paints • Illustrated stories now paint themselves - opt in when you create the story and the pictures are ready when you open it • Little fixes and polish throughout Happy storytelling!

Your child, the illustrated hero. This is the big one. Add a photo and your child becomes the illustrated hero of their story — the same character on every page, appearing as the tale is read aloud. A keepsake worth saving and sharing. • Illustrated stories (US & Canada, new Studio tier) — your child painted right into the scenes, page after page. You're always asked before a photo is used, and it's never kept. • Share any story page or cover as a warm keepsake card. • Smoother, faster, and polished throughout — including playback scrubbing and swipe fixes.

Small fixes for a smoother listen: • You can drag the progress bar again to jump to any moment in a story. • Swiping a story to delete no longer starts it playing by accident. Sweet dreams.

Keep the bedtime ritual going. • Story streaks — a gentle nightly count of the stories you’ve shared, never punitive. • Milestone keepsakes — at every streak milestone, a beautiful card to save and share. • Smoother new stories — your story now appears the moment you start it, with a clear “Preparing…” status. • Polish and fixes throughout. Thanks for listening together.

Discoveries by day, stories by night. TaleBird now fills the daytime too. Discoveries are short, two-voice explainers for curious kids — how things work, animals & dinosaurs, around the world, history, and a brand-new Myths & legends band. The app even follows the clock: a bright, sunny look by day and a cosy one at night, with Stories and Discoveries a tap apart. • One-tap playlists — choose who stars, how many, and how long once, then tap to fill a fresh set, downloaded and ready for bedtime or the back seat. • Daytime Discoveries — hundreds of warm, age-perfect answers to the big "how" and "why" questions, narrated in two voices. • Myths & legends — dragons, Icarus, King Arthur and more, retold for little ones. • A new Storage view shows what's saved on your phone and how much room is left. • Choose your reading style — Storybook, New York, Classic, or Early reader. • Smoother, faster, and polished throughout.

Now beautifully at home on iPad. • A roomier home screen — tonight's lineup laid out as a golden storybook thread • Long-press to drag and reorder your playlist • Library as a cover grid: every tale at a glance • A tidy two-column Settings board • Smoother scrolling, live download progress, and polish throughout Sweet dreams.
