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 the story. This slowed my reading speed and jarred me out of immersion at times.
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 is a dreamer and trying to make things better for himself, thinking that there has to be something better out there and wanting desperately to find a better life. After he met Estra he had even more hope that he would find what he was looking for and had finally found a love in his life, one that gave him some purpose in life. I love the little backstory of Mariod Kept my interest in the book from the beginning. I, absolutely, loved this book. The book, in a way, teaches us to be strong, to trust people, and have a little faith in people, in the spiritual being inside us that we all know that we have but feel like we need to hide because of the way people can be with their cruelty and harshness. It took me a bit to mentally picture some of the scenes in the book, it was hard for me to picture the surroundings of the characters but I got it eventually. It took a little while to understand some of the book, I had to re-read parts of it but this is what I took from and learned from this book. Two people came together, accidentally, fell in love and, against the odds of everything, found a life together and found, in each other, the thing they wanted and needed most of all. Love. It was a truly beautiful story.
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 the known- I thought it was similar to “The City of Ember”. Then the woman from the sky came, and it went in an unexpected but delicious direction.
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 . Thank you for the quick experience with it. It's your baby you got to finish raising it it's not ready to be out in public yet it's still a little rough around the edges and maybe a little nervous when it comes being done.,
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 Spotify playlist; I can guarantee that'll be more enjoyable. Wish I could give 0 stars.
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 be exploratory is a black and white image that goes no deeper and I could go on and on. Not a big fan of the stories as well. Back to drawing board, maybe? I uninstalled.
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 bugs fixed. Thank you
