A Storni is what happens when a story comes alive on your phone. You don't read it, you watch it like a movie. Always in first person with distinct visuals for dialogues and monologues. You can finally binge stories with our series or complete our less than 5 minute long quick singles when on the go! Stornea unlike other reading apps is designed for phones (not adapted from books) so it feels extremely natural to use. But don't take our word for it, try Stornea for free and let us know what you think (:
