Shifter for Android

I picked up a cool sticker at Comicon from Anomaly. I agree with reviewers 2-5 and will share it with students and friends.

I had an interactive story app a while ago that no longer exists. I've been looking for something similar but this one (so far) doesn't let me make choices for the characters. But I do like the story and will continue to read it.

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.

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.

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.
