William Weil, co-founder and CEO of Tales2Go, said, “We are excited to offer the first subscription, on-demand story service of its kind in the Apple App Store. Our mission is to spark kids’ imaginations and utilize cutting edge technology to bring back the simple pleasures and rewards of storytelling to everyday life. Tales2Go makes kids' audio stories easily accessible, on-the-go and affordably priced.”
This innovative new service gives moms and dads instant access to the best in kids’ audio stories to stream to their iPhone – in the car, at the doctor’s office, during quiet time at home, anywhere at anytime. Kids love a good story, and with Tales2Go they can now have one when and where they want, thus transforming their audio story listening experience. Listening to stories is both entertaining and beneficial for kids, while also providing an alternative to “screen-based” media. Audio books have been shown to enrich listening skills, introduce kids to new vocabulary and make children more eager to read.
Tracey Weil, co-founder and Chief Mom, said, “As a parent of three young children, I’m constantly looking for ways to entertain my kids and keep their minds working and learning, especially on the go. We’re always listening to stories in the car, on the way to school, driving around town, or on long road trips. I think of Tales2Go as ‘mommy’s little helper.’ Tales2Go is storytime, anytime without any advance planning, downloading or syncing.”
