One of the best graphic novels

Awesome story, art, and voice acting make this one of my favorite graphic novels. Consistently surprising throughout, wth many wonderful small details and the kind of substance that stands up to repeated readings. Highly recommended!

Comiconshifter

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

Nice story

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.

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.

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.

How to get the rest??

It's great but I can't download the rest.. It just tells me how good the download is and never gives me the option to get it.. I'm kinda mad if I can't finish it that was a waste of time..

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.

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.

Can't 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 can't see the entire image please fix this so I can read the graphic novel I've heard about

Wil Wheaton nails this great read DOWN!

For .99 cents, this is an outstanding deal.
It's a great book with a great, and incredibly unique storyline.
I'm 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.

Help! No sound, no music

I'm disappointed that I can only read the words. Advice?

Mind blown. This story is amazing.

As a bonus, there are tons of interesting animal and dinosaur science along the way!

An Exciting Experience

I didn't really know what to expect getting this graphic, but now that I've seen the entire novel, I'm 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. Noah's 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 don't want to be too detailed, so I'll just say that what Noah is able to do is really neat. I'd 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.

Interactive illustration comic book done right

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

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 wasn't supported. Went ahead with it anyway and it crashed. Uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted and now it's making me buy the book again. What a rip.

Another masterpiece

Beautiful graphics and an excellent story as usual. Only wish I could speed through it faster wo the animations

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.

Beautiful entertainment

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

Slow

Boring it wasn't really a novel or a game book

Crashedy crash crash

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