Tales of Siren Audiobook Mobile App

The Problem

TOS Web Publishing wanted to reach a Filipino romance audience where they actually listen (on their phones) and earn revenue there. That meant a native audiobook app on both app stores that streams large story files smoothly, keeps pace with daily content drops, and lets listeners pay for what they unlock without ever leaving the app. The phone app came first; the web platform followed and grew onto the same backend.

What We Built

We built Tales of Siren, a phone app where listeners buy coins to unlock romance audiobooks, videos, and clips, download stories for offline listening, follow creators, and keep reading lists. It shares the same backend as the web platform, so new releases, monthly rankings, scheduled publishing, and push notifications all stay in sync, while creators track their earnings and withdrawals from the same app. Payments run through both in-app coin purchases and the app stores' native purchases, with community chat and ad-supported content built in. It shipped to both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
