Retold
Records a family member telling a story and turns it into an animated short film.
Retold turns a spoken family story — recorded with one big red button, no forms or typing — into a short animated film with sketched scenes timed to the storyteller's own voice. Every story goes on a shared family shelf that grandkids can replay at bedtime, in the voice they know. The first five stories are free, then it's £39.99 a year (about 77p a week) or £5.99 a month, and stories you've already made stay watchable even if you stop paying.
What holds up
- +Stories you've already paid for stay watchable forever, even if you later cancel the subscription.
- +First five stories are free, no card needed, before you decide if it's worth paying for.
- +One big red button to record — no typing or forms, built for someone who doesn't want an app to learn.
Mind the limits
- −iPhone only for now — Android users have to join a waitlist for an invite-only Google beta.
- −Free tier caps at five stories — after that it's a subscription, not a one-time purchase.
