What listeners say
Loved on the App Store.
What an awesome way to learn!
I like listening to podcasts when I am commuting to work. Came across Lyfestori and this is awesome, I can now also listen to the stories of all the greatest people ever lived. The voices are very natural, clear and well paced. Love it, I recommend to try it out!
Fantastic App
Great source of information, super easy to navigate with interesting biographies
Nice idea, good execution
Nice to learn about these figures in a compact format. The stories are only in English, which didn't bother me.
