### 5/5 — In a word: incredible

*2013-04-03, version 1.1*

I can't wait to see more epic stories released in this fashion, it's pretty entertaining and it could very well be the future of stories as long as the plot and dialogue is given enough room to grow.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2013-03-23, version 1.1*

Great story, art, and immersive experience. This has to be one of the most entertaining and original books out there, I have the print version and now the digital version -  for 0.99 are you kidding me? What a bargain compared to ANY book out on the App Store!

### 5/5 — Best Graphic Novel Idea ever

*2013-03-12, version 1.1*

I'm speechless.  I've never enjoyed a graphic novel as much as I have enjoyed this.  I can just imagine what else things like this could bring.  I wish part 2 was coming sooner.  But either way it will be way worth it.

### 5/5 — Not another comic

*2013-03-06, version 1.1*

I don't read comics. But this really grabbed my attention. First, this thing is packed with features besides the core content (the novel/book/comic/movie) like encyclopedias with information about all kinds of things and characters, and much more. The book/comic it is beautifully hand painted with parallax movements making things come to life. And actual good professional voice acting on top of it all really just draws you in even more. You can turn it of tho if you want (even music etc). You can also decide to let the app play the whole thing automatically al'a a movie, or choose between two more viewing modes. Oh and it's quite a long novel so you'll definitely get your money's worth.

### 5/5 — Graphic art storytelling at its best!

*2013-02-07, version 1.1*

Great entertainment! Three hours well spent! I look forward to re-watching Anomaly with the optional app that enables you to see individual characters "pop off" the page. This work really makes use of the iPad's capabilities. Highly recommend just for the graphics alone.

### 5/5 — Incredible. Peerless.

*2013-02-02, version 1.1*

Nothing else in the app store is quite like this app. 

Think of it as an interactive, epic visual novel. It has excellent production values, including a well-chosen score and voice acting.

If I had to explain the experience, I'd compare it to an epic movie trilogy. Epic movie trilogies are hard to come by (and cost half a billion to make), so experiences like this are few and far between. As a specimen of the graphic novel medium, it is unparalleled.

Another way to think if the work is to consider it an animated and voice-acted graphic novel. Many people think of graphic novels as nothing more than the comics they read as children (superhero comics or Saturday morning cartoons). Even if you are of such a persuasion, I strongly urge you to give this work a try: as much as any other graphic novel Anomaly proves that such works can be deep, thoughtful, mature, and *very* entertaining.

Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Awesome story and immersive experience

*2013-01-12, version 1.1*

Worth the time and money

### 5/5 — Really loved this

*2013-01-10, version 1.1*

There is nothing ground breaking about this story.
But it is well told and plotted and I found using it on auto so it was acted out in front me worked very well.
Cannot wait or the next instalment.
Extremely recommended.

### 5/5 — GROSSARTIG!

*2013-01-05, version 1.1*

Einfach nur großartig!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2013-01-04, version 1.1*

Simply the best app that I've downloaded. Great story and amazing extra features. Simply stunning, all interactive comics could take a leaf out of this book. Download it now and pay the £2.99 and go all in. The 'normal' version of this book is £40 plus so it's simply great value

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-01-02, version 1.1*

Great story, loved the whole thing!  Can't wait for the next book to come out!

### 5/5 — Amazing story, wonderful immersive adventure

*2012-12-27, version 1.1*

It's really a must have for anyone with an iPad. It's a really long graphic novel, really entertaining, good sci-fi with catchy characters , everyone with well defined personalities. A lot of recalls to other famous sci-fi novels or movies can be found in the novel, which still holds it's novelty . 

Dark points : it has a few visualisation bugs in some of the interactive description tabs (I.e. cut text or - in case of the "the one symbol" - wrong description ) .
Not all characters have been fully analysed and described, but it is for sure a good beginning.

### 1/5 — No iOS 11 support! Please fix this ASAP!

*2018-05-22, version 1.1*

No iOS 11 support! Please fix this ASAP!

### 1/5 — Misleading price

*2016-01-22, version 1.1*

In the app description it says the full unlock is $.99, the app though has the unlock at $4.99.   AR enhanced pages should have an icon or some designation to them.

### 1/5 — bad

*2014-01-27, version 1.1*

пытался купить полную версию - денег сняли , не разблокировав приложение. опять связь с техподдержкой , опять трата личного времени , что бы вернуть свои деньги. очень плохо

### 1/5 — Sound issue

*2012-12-28, version 1.1*

The sound does not work at all for me. The novel looks beautiful but it is not functioning as advertised. If you want to change the industry, then the main selling point should work. Buying the rest of the comic is an in app purchase. I bought but got no confirmation and later when I turn on my iPad the rest of the comic was not working, I will try and contact them to see if I can get it back no charge. If not I think this is last time I do business with these creators and company.

### 2/5 — No way to restore purchuse

*2017-09-20, version 1.1*

After getting half way through the very captivating story, i had to remove the comic duento storage issues.
Just alil while ago I reinstalled it, but it appears I have to pay a 2nd time in order to continue the story. Pritty bloody disapointed about that.

### 2/5 — Вылетает

*2014-07-26, version 1.1*

Основная проблема - постоянные вылеты через каждые несколько экранов. Собственно, за это и оценка. Грызть кактус за деньги я не стал, к тому же ознакомительный фрагмент не показался стоящим внимания.

### 3/5 — Great comic movie

*2016-06-05, version 1.1*

Not interactive in the way that you can make any choices in what happens.  Was hoping for some control in the storyline.  It is interactive in that you control the pace of the comic by clicking for the next page.  Love the voice overs but there is a lot of text that is not read to you so you still have to do your own reading.  Beautiful graphics and movement in text but if you looking for a create your own adventure game this is not it.

### 3/5 — Still needs work

*2012-11-26, version 1.1*

Good idea, fun story, but there are still lots of rough spots. Some of the backstory pages aren't finished and there are times where it sounds like a mistranslation from another language. Needs some polishing

### 4/5 — Great graphic novel: please update for iOS 12

*2018-12-16, version 1.1*

I really enjoy reading this title from time to time. Now I can’t do it anymore because it is not updated to iOS12. 

Please do it!

### 4/5 — Feines Comic

*2012-11-26, version 1.1*

nach 150 Seiten Teaser, kein Weg dran vorbei es zu kaufen,
Für das Geld eine Menge Lesespass, kann ich nur empfehlen, keinen Moebius erwarten, Zeichnungen erinnern manchmal an Bilal und Liberatore, Fazit gut, ein wenig zu amerikanisch.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Just found in 2023

*2023-08-25, version 2.1*

This is a Masterclass in design and interactive graphic novel. 
Beautiful I will buy whatever releases for this series.

Dear Dev,
Keep out on Ai technologies (Midjourney for Art, Ai for Character Voices, ChatGPT for text) 

You many be able to release these on constant bases with the new generative Ai tech.

### 5/5 — Can't buy novels from the site!

*2023-03-30, version 2.1*

I tried so many times to buy novels from the site list but no use!

Help?!

### 5/5 — Simply fantastic

*2019-10-01, version 2.0*

I don’t care much for the comic book reader apps, so this graphic novel being stand-alone was a god-send.

Pleasantly surprised at how much I got for $2 (granted: I purchased in late 2019 so maybe the price went down?)

Aside from a few glitches it all worked very well.

I will be looking for more like it!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2015-09-24, version 1.1*

Outstanding graphic novel.
Всё купилось, ничего не вылетало.
История классная. Картинки, звук, игра актеров (голоса). Бесподобное приключение уровня Аватара.
Один доллар - это сущие копейки за три вечера удовольствия!

### 5/5 — Best 0.99 spent !

*2015-02-18, version 1.1*

Absolutely fantastic, great adventure, like watching an interactive movie, can't wait for more !

### 5/5 — Work of Art

*2014-10-21, version 1.1*

Just amazing. The amount of detailed art and the complex and intriguing story line are incredible.

### 5/5 — Best book ever

*2014-01-22, version 1.1*

I absolutely love it please make another interactive book this is the best story ever I want and need more please please please make another book and possibly make it a sequel i can't live without the sequel!

### 5/5 — Spitzenklasse

*2013-08-21, version 1.1*

Jeden Cent Wert.
Tolle Sprecher, spannende, sehr lange Geschichte. Macht bitte unbedingt mehr in dieser Art.

### 5/5 — Super cool

*2013-07-31, version 1.1*

This is really something different! 
You know somebody did something right when you're up at 1am and can't hit the "next page" button fast enough.

What it comes down to?
Quality. Stunning art, and excellent story, not to mention this new interactive way to experience it.  
The musical score is excellent, with huge sweeping themes and a great knack for building tension at all the right moments, and the voice actors for the characters are top-shelf.
Bravo to the team that put this together!

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2013-07-03*

Great story, beautiful arts! Can't really ask for more
