Not my cup of tea in terms of a reading app. The story I started with felt very clunky. It suffered from the overuse of “show don’t tell” to the point that world building was dry and tedious to read. Additionally, instead of a flat black or white background, it was a picture related to […]

Like the presentation of app. Each book has a music section, book portion, and artwork. Easy to read, not finnicky like kindle or kobo device. The books were okay, not my cup of tea. No Ads or monetization in this app.

I read the book of Balcony of Fog on this app. I had a hard time getting around it, but the book itself was awesome. The book grabbed and held my attention right away. It was very descriptive on the way the toiler, Arden’s, world worked in the post apocalyptic setting. I love that Arden […]

Great app. Imagine a more interactive Amazon Kindle platform or “reading” app and this is it. A beautiful marriage of fantasy, psychology, and love. I originally downloaded this app to read “Balcony of Fog”, and my expectations were exceeded. When I started reading this book, I expected another dystopian novel about the trails of escaping […]

What’s the dealio ? It’s not ready to be used. This app is not finished being programmed yet. It’s way too rough around the edges. Sorry but I had that feeling, like it was pushed on stage before it was ready. Nice mission but you have to finish the marching to get my okay . […]

Listening to the music while reading was very unique. A very calm experience that kinda helps bring everything together. I’m not sure how the artwork is supposed to work in the one book I started reading. But overall, try it. It’s really beautifully done.

Softcore pornography that seems to have been written by a 14 year old boy that couldnt finish 8th grade English classes. Terrible writing. Awful plots. Pointless paintings. Worst music I have ever had the misfortune of hearing. This is just beyond worthless. Go to a library, pick a trashy romance novel and put on a […]

The text is cut off on the left side of the page, making it difficult to read. Missing words is not condusive to an enjoyable story. Also the beautiful songs stop playing half way through. I’d love to know how to fix these glitches. It’s a promising muti media experience, that is not quite right.

Not Immersive in 2022 Standards.. defined as a three dimensional image that surrounds the viewer. Immersion is “deeply absorbed into something” so maybe that’s what it’s supposed to be. Either way the mark was missed completely. In 2022 things should be opening as reader goes along, music starting on its own, a map said to […]

The sentences on every single line in every single chapter in every single book are cut off one to two words before the end each line. It prevents the reader from being able to get past the first paragraph. I’m looking forward to becoming immersed in your work so please notify when you have the […]

the “chapters” are NOT clearly marked, I will not get into the issues with grammar and punctuation. This is supposed to be immersive, I am going to presume that the “immersive” part has nothing to do with the music or the art work. The music is unique, but it is also grainy and if there […]

I was excited when i first downloaded this app. But trying to use it sucks. Nearly impossible to use any options unless i was basically beating on my screen and just now started listening to some of the music but it wouldn’t stop playing. So i uninstalled and the same song still playing and won’t […]

I really like the idea behind the project and would like to read the stories, but there are display problems on my LG G7. The font is too small for my eyesight, but if I change the size to anything larger than default, the words scroll off the page vertically and become unreadable.

Concerning… I only installed the app for points. I’ve never used it, let alone download load anything. I noticed they charged me quite a lot of money. So I got the bank to help . Too far media, passed on my info to other parties. Anyway I couldn’t get any money back. There scammers !! […]

The idea of this app is great, the music and artwork are great, but the books are some of the worst I’ve ever read. The pacing is terrible and the stories don’t make sense. Specifically ‘Rin, Tongue, & Dorner’, is overly sexual right from the beginning, is not written in a women friendly way, and […]

Interesting concept, and the story I started Animus appeared to be well edited. It’s not quite what I would consider immersive. The storyline I read also had a bit too many metaphors which slowed the pacing of the story down. Music could be integrated into the story better, and while lyrically I appreciated some of […]

I read Rin, Tongue, and Dorner. The novel is an exploration of the inner struggle between the id, ego, and superego. I found the writing to be in-depth and thoughtful. Each character had an individuality that was fun to see. The scenery was interesting yet easy to envision. Superb music tracks. I was less excited […]

Great idea with incredibly poor execution. Having the audio and art accompany a story was very appealing to me. But the amount of problems with the app are unreal. The text for the books, no matter what font size you use, cuts off the end of every line, missing up to 2 words per line. […]

The idea was good the delivery was not. Possibly a writer did the interactive book because the “artwork” and “music” cannot be even called that and the writing was the only one seemed good enough for children’s books. I installed it and after a few minutes uninstalled once hearing the horrible sounds and seeing the […]

What I had hoped would be (as advertised) an immersive world of engaging stories turned out to be a poorly coordinated blend of banal new age music, uninteresting abstract images, and a series of amateur and mediocre short stories. To make matters worse, actually trying to “immerse” oneself in these stories (combining the art & […]
