## What is PlayTales?

PlayTales is the perfect companion for little radio play fans, and best of all: the app is seamlessly connected to Apple Music! 

The child-friendly operation and clear design make discovering radio plays a pure pleasure. As a proud parent, I developed this app specifically for my own children to provide them with a safe and entertaining radio play experience. Your little ones can even have the titles of the albums read to them to playfully explore the world of radio plays and mark their absolute favorites.

Please note that there are no hidden costs or subscriptions other than the required Apple Music subscription. 

Immerse yourself together in the fascinating world of radio plays with PlayTales and discover countless adventures that will inspire your children's imagination! Look forward to hours of entertainment and unforgettable moments with your family.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-01

"PlayTales: Audiobooks for Kids" just got better — here is what is new:

• Listen offline: Without an internet connection, PlayTales shows and plays only audio plays downloaded via Apple Music — perfect for long car rides.
• Sleep timer: The story stops by itself, so nobody has to get up.
• At the end of the story: Choose what happens next — stop, repeat, or move on.
• Play it with Siri: Just say "Play … in PlayTales". Shortcuts work too.
• Spotlight search (iOS 18 and later): Find favourites and recently played straight from search.
• Progress across the whole story: The slider now spans the entire album instead of a single track.
• In sync on every device: Favourites and recently played travel with you via iCloud.

Happy listening!
