Help with Tales from the Shoyukan, on the iPhone and at shoyukan.com.
Every tale is free to read, and each one can be read aloud: press Listen at the top of a tale. The house band plays before the tale begins and after it ends, and the next tale follows. The round button at the top right of every screen opens the band on its own. In the app, a reading goes on with the screen locked, and the lock screen’s buttons move it on or back.
You need no account to read or to listen. Bookmarks and stars need one, so that they are there on every phone you sign in on: sign in with Google or with Apple when you first bookmark a tale or give it stars, or from the Account tab. On the first screen, Skip for now goes straight in.
Open Account in the app and choose Delete account. Your bookmarks, your stars and the account are deleted at once. The privacy page says what an account keeps.
If a recording or the music will not play, check that the phone’s volume is up and that no other app is holding the sound, then close the app and open it again. A new tale’s recording is fetched the first time you play it, so it needs a connection once; after that it is kept on the phone.
