About

Wise Tales is a quiet little library of folk tales from around the world, read one sentence at a time — with every line shown in two languages, side by side. Tap a story, settle in, and let the words come to life. Press play and let Wise Tales read each tale aloud. Words light up as they're spoken, so young readers can follow right along — and tapping any sentence jumps the narration there. Set a gentle pace (Cosy, Calm, or Lively), turn on the bedtime sleep timer to stop softly at the end of a page, and lock the screen while the story keeps playing. Pick any two of 13 languages — one to read the story in, one for the translation underneath. Read a heritage language alongside English, practice a new one sentence by sentence, or share a tale across generations. With 13 languages, that's 156 pairings, and every translation is hand-curated. WHY FAMILIES LOVE WISE TALES • Parallel text — every sentence in your language with the translation right below it • Read-to-me narration that highlights each word as it's spoken • Echo mode — hear a line in one language, then again in the other • Hands-free pages that turn themselves while the story plays • A bedtime sleep timer that stops cleanly at the end of a page • Lock-screen and Control Center playback, with page art • Day, Night, and Auto reading themes, plus full right-to-left support • Works fully offline — every story, translation, and voice lives on your device 13 LANGUAGES English, Japanese, Spanish, French, Bengali, Arabic, Korean, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese. PERFECT FOR • Bilingual and multilingual families keeping two languages close • Parents and kids reading together at bedtime • Heritage learners reconnecting with a mother tongue • Anyone learning a new language one gentle story at a time A LITTLE MAGIC TO START 13 of our 17 tales are free forever, and the first page of every other story is open to read and hear. When you're ready for the whole shelf, a single one-time purchase unlocks the rest, in every language pair. No subscription, no recurring charges — and it's shared with your household through Family Sharing. No ads. No account, no sign-up. Just stories. Once upon a time is only a tap away. Open Wise Tales and begin.
