Great App on iPhone

Unfortunately there is no iPad support.

Berührend

Ich habe Jimmy Nelson im „stern“ kennengelernt und nicht nur seine phantastischen Bilder haben mich zum Staunen gebracht, sondern auch die Technik, über ein einzelnes Foto einen dazu gehörenden Film ablaufen zu lassen. Genial. Danke!

Have to have book

I would love to use the app to see the images, alas it’s really to get you to buy the book.

Fantastic photography!

Jimmy, your photography is wonderful. Unfortunately this app doesn’t work with my iPad Air.

Am I Missing Something?

Apparently, this app is worthless without the book— which I don’t have. Oh well. Easy enough to delete. I was misled by an interview with Jimmy on NPR, however, and am most disappointed.
