About Retold — Family Stories
Record yourself telling a story — a bedtime tale, a family memory, the day the car broke down in Wales — and Retold turns it into a hand-drawn animated film, perfectly synced to your voice. Every story becomes a little film in a child's-sketchbook style, and a storybook you can read together — tap any page to hear the storyteller's own voice tell that bit. Photos capture how people looked. Retold keeps how they sounded, and how they told things. — Just talk. No typing, no editing. One recording is all it takes. — A drawn film made from your telling, with the laughs and pauses kept in. — A storybook with the teller's voice on every page. — Share as a real video, straight to the family group chat. — A family shelf that keeps every story, and a timeline of when they happened. Made for grandparents, parents, and the little ones who ask for the same story every night. Retold includes five personal stories at no charge. Creating more than five stories requires a separate in-app purchase of Retold Plus, an optional auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription. Retold Plus unlocks unlimited new stories. Existing stories remain available to watch, read and share if you cancel. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
What’s new
Version 1.0.7 · Updated September 9, 2026
You can now fix anything Retold misheard. If a name came out wrong, tap "something not right?" on a story and put it right — the title, who told it, when it happened, or any word in it. Your recording is never touched. It stays exactly as it was told. Also in this version: • Fixed a problem that could stop stories opening on your shelf • If a recording is very short, Retold now asks whether there's more you'd like to tell
