United StatesNever Seen Anything Like It!
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.
United StatesCool Book!
Very inspiring, sort of hipster, definitely very surprising (in a nice way)!
United StatesImaginative and brilliant
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.

Phenomenal! Great artwork and story! The 3D Stuff is amazing!! 5 stars!!
United StatesBeautiful and thought-provoking
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.
United StatesA new kind of children's book
How cool is This! I love the motion within and between scenes. It makes the drawings come alive!
