Shifter: Interactive Graphic Novel App Reviews

Im loving it!

Right now I am halfway through, and Im really loving it. The storyline has slowly drawn me in; the artwork is gorgeous; voice acting is the icing on the cake. This is right up my alley! I seriously hope this company puts out many more of these digital comics, because Id buy every single one.

Great

This is really entertaining and the artwork is beautiful !

Good art, Political Agenda

The interactive information and the art are well done. But this is an obviously politically bent story meant to persuade and influence the reader. Honest advertising of such content would have been more on the up and up, but then how would those wanting to shape minds of mush into there idea of of well in tuned minds to their causes but to be sneaky in the attempt to brainwash unsuspecting readers. Also, I think it is trashy to sell each chapter separately adding up the cost instead of offering one low price. Must be sending the cash on to the PC groups that support such mind washing techniques.

Crashes :/

Wont let me begin. Looks cool as heck but crashes out before I get to the first page. Ive tried redownloading it and restarting my device to no avail.

Not bad at all

I wish it was longer. I liked it enough that I am trying their other graphic novel.

ThanX

Its a one nice kind of work,

Fun fantastic new way to enjoy a story

Even though you have to pay for the rest of the chapters, it is a cool app. I eagerly await more stories like this.

Crashedy crash crash

I am enjoying the novel, but touching the info points chaises the whole app to crash.

Beautiful entertainment

Beautiful artwork, delightful background sounds & effects, nice voice acting. Great storytelling. Well worth three times the current price.

Best graphic novel experience!

This story is the best way to experience a graphic novel! A very new experience for me. I never usually do ratings, but this was such a unique experience for me, I had to share my appreciation with everyone. Not only are the graphics beautiful and revealing, the acting of the voices just adds for a very rich environment. I loved it.

What?

I bought the whole book and downloaded to my iPod 6.1. Opened the app and a prompt came on the screen saying my device wasnt supported. Went ahead with it anyway and it crashed. Uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted and now its making me buy the book again. What a rip.

Interactive illustration comic book done right

Thumbs up! Very inspiring. All ages can enjoy the contents!

An Exciting Experience

I didnt really know what to expect getting this graphic, but now that Ive seen the entire novel, Im really glad I got it. First, the art is lovely and the style is great; they were like paintings which I really liked. Also, all of the sounds, voice acting and music really fit together, like threads perfectly woven together to create the net that is Shifter. The story telling, I thought, was good and kept me interested throughout. Noahs development was really well done, making him my favorite character (I also really liked Jeeves), and the story itself was very fascinating. Had a good theme, too. Now, I dont want to be too detailed, so Ill just say that what Noah is able to do is really neat. Id also like to say that I appreciate everything being optional (words, sound, etc.) because turning off touch points, for me, let the story flow better. Although, I am glad they were all recorded because I would like to read all of them later. Overall, this was a very exciting experience; I saw the entire thing this morning and I enjoyed every moment. I recommend this to anyone who wants to have their mind opened or just experience something new.

Help! No sound, no music

Im disappointed that I can only read the words. Advice?

Wil Wheaton nails this great read DOWN!

For .99 cents, this is an outstanding deal. Its a great book with a great, and incredibly unique storyline. Im not impressed with some of the lesser character voice acting, but Wheatons voice more than makes up for them. High praise! I wish SO much there was a way they could expand on the story.

Cant see the whole screen

The story seems very interesting but every image is cut off on the iPhone 6plus the words are also cut off so I cant see the entire image please fix this so I can read the graphic novel Ive heard about

Good Book

A fun and imaginative read combining elements of NCIS, superheroes, historical fiction, dinosaurs and classic sci-fi. Reads like a good Hollywood movie. Ha ha. Not great literature but will inspire interesting questions on the nature of good and evil.

B for content - A for execution

This format has a lot of potential. The interactive part amounts to hitting a forward arrow to advance to the next page which I turned off, letting the story flow automatically which made for a much nicer experience. The story was a bit lackluster, but the artwork is first rate as is voice work. A nice story for young ones as it is not graphically violent. Say age 10 and up. I would like to see this format take off as a new way to experience comics.

Shifter takes its name way too seriously.

I give this app ZERO STARS but the lowest I am allowed to give it is one. A couple of months ago one of my favorite apps went missing, and at the exact same time a brown square with the caption "waiting . . ." appeared. I was not able to delete it. There was no "x" in the upper left corner. A couple of months later, "waiting" changed to "Shifter: int". I deleted it and found myself looking at a screen in the App Store featuring "Shifter: interactive graphic novel". I never downloaded that app. After a few emails to my favorite app--the one that had mysteriously disappeared--I finally have it back.

Breakthrough

Like Anomaly, this is fun to read and dive into the Interactive bits and pieces found throughout the story. The artwork is wonderful and the story is a good one. In partnership with Image Comics you can find another science fiction story called "Faster Than Light" that is also fun and intriguing. All in all, a fun breakthrough for graphic novels.
