Talking Tom & Ben News

What Talking Tom & Ben News does

Talking Tom & Ben News turns Outfit7’s two familiar characters into a small comedy news desk. Tom and Ben sit behind the set, repeat what you say, and take turns speaking, creating a simple back-and-forth rather than a single talking character. It suits children and families looking for a light, interactive entertainment app rather than a game with goals, levels, or complex controls.

Ways to play

The main appeal is experimentation. Tap, poke, or swipe the characters to trigger reactions and physical jokes, then try different lines to see how their exchange sounds. You can also place your own photos or videos on the studio’s news screen, giving the pair something personal to present. The built-in recording feature lets you capture these short performances and share them outside the app.

What to expect

This is best understood as a digital toy with a basic video-making element. The controls are straightforward, and the two-character format gives the app more variety than a simple voice repeater. Its visual style and interface are older than those of many current 3D entertainment apps, while adverts and promotions may interrupt the experience. Younger users may also need an adult’s help when handling recorded or shared content.

Popularity and publisher

Published by Outfit7 Limited in the Entertainment category, the app has a 4.30/5 rating from more than 1.25 million reviews and records 100,000,000+ installs. Those figures point to a long-running, widely recognised character app. It is worth considering if the attraction is making silly broadcasts with Tom and Ben; users wanting a deeper game or a more modern production tool should look elsewhere.
