Tales2Go Releases V3.0 with Monthly Recurring Pricing and Free Stories

Washington, DC    Sep 27, 2011 in Education

[prMac.com] Washington, District Of Columbia - Tales2Go is pleased to announce today it is introducing $9.99 monthly recurring pricing as part of its version 3.0 release. Now subscribers will have the option to pay for Tales2Go as they go, and not have to purchase a full year subscription in advance.

"We are excited to take advantage of Apple's monthly recurring pricing feature, since we've known from the start that certain users prefer paying month by month." said William Weil, Co-Founder and CEO of Tales2Go. "Our subscribers will still have the option of buying a year in advance and saving ($99.99 annual price), or turning on and off a monthly recurring plan as needed."

Other enhancements and upgrades in version 3.0, include a log-in screen which makes it easier for users to manage multiple users on one account and a free stories section, which allows users to listen to a limited number of free stories from storytellers such as Bill Harley, Odds Bodkin and Regi Carpenter after their trial or subscription has expired. Tales2Go can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store, and starts with a 30-day free period.

Teachers know that listening to audio stories is an excellent pathway to becoming a skilled reader, since audio books expose kids to vocabulary, build critical listening and comprehension skills and generally excite kids about literature. This is why listening stations are commonplace in classrooms and why many parents choose to balance screen time with listening. And teachers and parents know kids love listening to stories.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 1.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Tales2Go 3.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Stories range from fairytales to popular series and characters such as Clifford, Ivy and Bean and Diary of a Wimpy Kid to classics such as Treasure Island and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Kids love listening to stories. Teachers know that listening to audio books is an excellent pathway to being a skilled reader, as listening to stories exposes kids to vocabulary, builds critical listening and comprehension skills and excites kids about literature.
