bookmaker

What it is: an app for creating simple books.

What you do with it: create pages of your book using painting tools, clipart images, backgrounds and photos from the camera or device's gallery. Record your own narration, save, e-mail or publish the book (as a video clip) to YouTube or Facebook.

What we liked: the concept, nice choice of clipart images and backgrounds to work with. The instructional video.

What we didn't like: navigation could be easier (not consistent, requires pressing 'save' and 'back' buttons all the time). The drawing and text tools are rather limited. No undo function. The 'clear' button erases everything without warning. The narrator's voice sounds ... spooky. Why not include some sample stories to show the app's potential to the user?
