Read stories written as if they were a chat conversation
If you like stories and you also enjoy a little gossip from time to time, this is the app you have been waiting for. It is also ideal for those who enjoy real-time stories and do not want to read never-ending books. Yarn brings you a wide variety of stories written as if they were real text conversations between other people you might know.
In Yarn, stories are told using short text messages, as if you were reading someone else's conversation on their phones.
Sensual stories and horror stories
Right now, this tool offers readers short stories with two main themes: sensuality and horror. Each story is full of suspense and is divided into chapters; however, to access them, you will first need to reach out for your wallet. The free version of the app only lets you stroll through the menu and get a small glimpse of the different stories available.
The idea is innovative and very cool, but it is true that you have to pay before you get even a small sample reading. This can lead some users to walk away. Also, since the stories are told in chat mode or text messages, spelling rules are often disregarded, which adds realism (who uses all the punctuation marks when writing a WhatsApp?), but is not the best for an application meant to "read" stories.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.4.
- Offers in-app purchases.
