What's New in Told

1.0.1

October 11, 2026

Your story no longer stops when your GPS speaks. Told used to give up on a story when a turn-by-turn direction interrupted it — a three-second "turn right ahead" could end a two-minute story mid-sentence and skip to the next one. Told now holds its place through the interruption and picks the same story back up where it left off. A real phone call still pauses things properly. Also fixed: the progress bar no longer keeps creeping while a story is already playing, so the app stops looking busy when it isn't.

User reviews

Great app for driving

An app like this is long overdue… Great job. This is educational and makes drives so much more enjoyable

Response from developer

Thank you — "long overdue" is exactly the itch I was trying to scratch. I kept driving past interesting places and never knowing it. Glad Told is fixing that for you too.

Makes driving way more interesting and fun!

Such a cool concept for an app. I love that it gives you audio stories about the history, landmarks, mysteries, music, nature, and other interesting things around you while you’re driving. It makes a normal road trip or long drive feel like you’re actually learning about the places you’re passing instead of just staring at the highway. It also provides facts in a hilarious way. Really creative idea and super easy to use!

Response from developer

This made my day. The humor is deliberate — a fact you laugh at is a fact you remember. Thank you for taking the time to write all that out.
