Listening to articles during my morning run is a game changer.
Voice cloning sounds surprisingly natural compared to robotic TTS.
Solid news app, saves me hours of staring at feeds.
Queue feature works great.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Written articles from partner publishers are converted into natural narration using cloned voices, so stories become listenable audio rather than text.
Start a continuous listening session and narrow it first by publication date, source, or category to match your interests and available time.
Choose favorite publishers and topics during setup so your audio feed is personalized from day one instead of a generic stream.
Get alerted about popular audio articles and join listener discussion, adding a social layer that helps surface what others are following.
Read a short snippet of a story before adding it to the queue, so you spend your listening time only on stories that interest you.
Narrativ.ai approaches news from the ear rather than the eye. The app works with a set of partner publishers and turns their written articles into audio narrated with cloned voices, so the same story you would skim on a site becomes something you can listen to while commuting, cooking, or working out. The experience is built around streaming stories one after another until you feel caught up.
The app is organized for control over what you hear. A reworked "play all" flow lets you filter stories by publication date, source, or category before playback begins, effectively letting you build a personalized news playlist. Onboarding asks you to pick favorite publishers and categories up front, so the feed is tuned from the first session rather than after weeks of use. Short article previews let you check whether a story is worth queuing before you commit to listening.
Narrativ.ai also leans into discovery and social signals. Notifications flag popular audio articles so trending topics reach you sooner, and the app supports comments so listeners can react to what is trending. It occupies a space between a podcast app and a news reader: you get the breadth of a news aggregator with the hands-free convenience of audio. The listing is free to download and is designed for iPhone.
Queue up local, national, and international stories and let them stream back to back on the drive, train, or walk, with no screen time required.
Select the outlets and topics you trust and listen through their latest stories in one continuous feed instead of opening many apps.
Cook, exercise, or do chores while audio stories play, turning otherwise unusable time into news catch-up time.
Listeners who find reading on a phone difficult or tiring can follow the same written reporting as narrated audio.
