Must have taken ages from conception to final product. My writing project started over 20 years ago and I got 4 pages! Well thought out, and seems finished pretty good. Can’t wait for your next one. What 3D software did they use I wonder? Cheers x ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best! *2019-09-15* You have to buy this unique, interactive eBook app. Trust me, you will like it! ### 5/5 — New dimensions *2019-06-12, version 1.1.9* This is a charming little story app. By using Mental Canvas software, the creator has added subtle nuance, interaction and fun to an otherwise static medium. It isn’t genius, but it is worthwhile, and beautiful and worth a look. ### 1/5 — pointless app *2016-11-24, version 1.1.9* Inane and. pointless ### 1/5 — What is this?!?!? *2015-08-21* You can only do like three and then it wants you to purchase more.mSo stupid ### 5/5 — Never Seen Anything Like It! *2015-08-18* I was really excited when I discovered this app. Not only does it give justice Istvan Banyai's beautiful book"The Other Side," but the interactive media and manipulation capabilities are absolutely astonishing. I felt that I could explore every nook and cranny within the page. I can't wait to see more of this technology! Phenomenal. ### 5/5 — Cool Book! *2015-08-14* Very inspiring, sort of hipster, definitely very surprising (in a nice way)! ### 5/5 — Imaginative and brilliant *2015-08-14* After enjoying this app for a few minutes, I felt like a whole new and beautiful future for traditional illustrations had opened up to me for the first time. It reminded me of my initial reaction, when I first held an iPhone in my hands, and suddenly felt like I understood what the future of mobile phones would be like. ### 5/5 — Mister *2015-08-13* Phenomenal! Great artwork and story! The 3D Stuff is amazing!! 5 stars!! ### 5/5 — Beautiful and thought-provoking *2015-08-13* I've been a fan of Istvan Banyai for a while, with The Other Side being my favorite of his books. And while I still love the print version, this new adaptation really adds a new dimension (ha) to the experience. The artwork is as beautiful and inventive as ever, but with the addition of interaction you can see it come to life. My favorite part is seeing the relationship between pages in the "flip" (my favorite is the moon, but no spoilers here - experience it for yourself!). Will definitely come back to this unique book again. ## Frequently asked questions about The Other Side in 3D ### What is The Other Side in 3D?
