About this app

Join 20 million happy users and unleash your creativity!

1. Write a text conversation in TextingStory
2. Create a video with your story
3. Watch it and share it

TextingStory allows you to write conversations just like any messaging app, except you can switch side by swiping left or right over the message area. You can also press the characters' names.

Take all the time you need to write your texting stories. The videos are automatically accelerated for a consistently fast-paced result!

Every key stroke is recorded so feel free to play with corrections, hesitations or misspells!

This is a simple app with endless possibilities.

TextingStory pioneered a new video format in 2016 and has become wildly successful on various social media, with some users getting tens of millions of views of their videos. It got its own Know Your Meme entry and T-Mobile even reproduced it in a 2019 Superbowl ad.

TextingStory is also a popular app in education for spicing up course material or hands on activities with students.

I love this app! My only problems are that I can't make more than one story at a time, the videos take awhile to load, and I wish the extra little things were free on samsung(my phone) because I've heard they are free on apple. The second one might just be me, cause I'm always on the go so I rarely have good internet connection. I could be wrong about the last one. I just heard that was true, not sure if it actually was. Overall a great app though!

It's a great app! Does what it's supposed to! One problem is that if you want to customize anything about your character (other than name of course) you have to pay for a subscription, which I understand, it's a free app but if you make more characters their color defaults to purple and that can just confuse people I'd you post it. So if they didn't all immediately default to purple I'd give this app 5 stars

I know you guys need to make money but maybe make it to where you don't need to pay for everything. To pay for everything one by one, that would be around $7, not sure with tax, but you're charging $20 for everything. That's ridiculous. And another idea is to make like..group chat things! Also, once I downloaded the video I noticed that it wasn't synced up.
