Why Are Some Stories Locked? 🔒

Understand why stories are locked in your iStoria Journey. Learn how to unlock the next story, skip levels as a Premium user, or explore the Library for free reading.

In the iStoria app, your main learning Journey is designed to build your English skills step-by-step. Stories are locked to ensure you learn new vocabulary progressively, with each story naturally preparing you for the next one.


🔓 How to Unlock the Next Story

  1. Read the current story: Finish your available story to grasp the context and learn the new words.

  2. Pass the progress test: Complete the short test at the end of the story.

  3. Keep moving forward: Once the test is passed, the next story will automatically unlock!


⏭️ Want to Skip a Story or Level? (Premium Feature)

We know that everyone learns at their own pace. If you feel a story or level isn't right for you, Premium subscribers have the flexibility to skip ahead:

  • Skip a Story: Read the first chapter > Tap the three dots (...) next to the story > Select Skip. (Note: You can skip up to 20% of the stories in any given level).

  • Skip a Level: Once you have completed 80% of the stories in your current level, tap the three dots (...) next to the level name and select the option to skip the remaining stories.


📚 Looking for More Freedom? Explore the Library!

We hear you—sometimes you just want to pick a story that catches your eye! While the Journey tab follows a guided, locked path to build your proficiency, you can always visit the Library tab. The Library is packed with diverse, engaging stories across different genres, allowing you to choose exactly what you want to read next without waiting for it to unlock.
