A…it costs…
5.99, yep, costs 5.9… wait, DID I JUST “PAY” FOR A APP LIKE well… THIS!? WHY!! I thought you could make your own interactive comic, BUT INSTEAD YOU HAVE TO READ ONE!?
I loved the book as a kid
I can't believe I payed for this, it wasn't as great as I remember. I passed it a lot faster than last time.
Same from book
I love it
I try get happy ending long story not small

Genius!
Thank you for the breakthrough approach to interactive comics!
Unnötiges Spiel
Die 5€ für dieses Spiel sind unberechtigt. Es ist lediglich eine sehr kurze komisch Geschichte, bei der man selbst den Verlauf bestimmen kann. Spiel war in weniger als 5 min. durchgespielt (davon abgesehen war es äußerst langweilig).
Great comic
one of my favs
Brilliant, and fun.
More coming, I hope?
Wow
Very good comic
Amazing
I read the book before I played the game and the game actually works even better. It's basically a choose your own adventure book in graphic novel form.
Amazing
There are so many brilliant details in Meanwhile. It's fun to work through, and try to figure out how combining things can lead to new situations. i really appreciate that they took a book that had been turned into a poster and kept that tactile feel in the transition to iOS. For instance, it has access code puzzles that are implemented in a way that were amazing for a print medium, and I really love that they stayed the same here instead of switching to buttons. The only critical thing I can say about the game is that the monotonous click sound is horrible. No big deal.

Major Find!
I jumped out of my chair when I saw this in the app store! Meanwhile is a favorite book of mine - one of those special creations of genius that only come along once every few years.
But to see it on the iPad is even more wonderful. And they did a great job! The UI is clean; it takes advantage of the iPad without detracting from the creation itself. Better yet: they did the extra work to make it all accessible to vision-impaired users.
This goes straght to the top of my recommended app list. Buy it immediately - and then buy the book too! Both are gems.

Frankly a disappointment.
I don't really understand all the rave reviews. It's kind of cool, but it's pretty expensive and I'd worked through most options in a couple of hours. It's incredibly repetitive after the first 20 mins or so. Considering how much gameplay I got out of Dreamhold (which is free) this was frankly a disappointment.

Confuddling and bedazzling
A weighty slab of awesome. Just buy it and be rendered instantly in a state of infant-style wonder
Love it (same with my friends)
I remember reading the book and with this new app I can't pry my friends off me! Just love it perfect job.
Brilliant
This is the definitive version of meanwhile - easier to use than the book with the ability to zoom right in to the art.
Awesome hypercomic
Definitely an expansion into new territory for the iOS, this "hypercomic" is simple yet engrossing. The art is really awesome and not pixelated at all since the last update, the story is silly and well-told, and the implications are pretty crazy. Best of all, it flows so naturally, and going back only takes a quick touch.
I never read the book, but I might pick it up after this, even if it's not quite as convenient.

Genius 🍦
What a fantastic idea. It's like a choose your own adventure comic, with tons of different outcomes and endings.
I love it.
I love it.
How did I miss this?
I've already shared lots of laughs with my son. This is perfect. I would love to see more like this. If you aren't sure, buy this app. Great art and a fun story. Perfect if you have a young reader in the house.
Meanwhile
I can't imagine reading Meanwhile on anything other than a touch-navigable device--the adaptation is so fitting. The comic is fantastic, and the experience of reading it is something that I'm sure will stick with me. I've never had a reading experience like this before. I sincerely hope we see more literature that, like Meanwhile, takes advantage of this new medium.

Good, but it has problems
I would have rated it 5 stars but I found lots of differences from the app and the book. Overall it's a great app, but the differences really bug me.
