Tube clip at the end of this post. Creating an app wasnt my original intention I have to confess. In fact I dont think I really understood what a book app was until earlier this year, never mind how to find one I was simply looking at how to turn the print book of Ferdinand Foxs Big Sleep into a colour e. Book. It was my friend Bridget who struck by the vibrant illustrations said, Why dont you see if you can turn it into an app with simple animation Once I had the idea in my head it wouldnt go away a bit like the beautiful fox I first saw one misty November evening over 1. Ferdinand Fox stories to start with. So what exactly is a book app If youre not sure, you are not alone Theres understandable confusion about how a book app differs from an e. Book. And with enhanced e. Books now in the mix, the boundaries continue to blur. Below is a quick and basic summary but feel free to comment if I have anything wrong. Bookse.

Books word highlighting or automated animation, Books Apps can include touch activated animation or drag and drop movement, touch activated sound effects, reader recording facility, photo taking, games, puzzles and much more. Some book apps run on both Apple and Android devices and so are available in both the App Store and the Google Play store Android apps are also housed in the Nook App store in the US. From what I can see, however, the vast majority of kids book apps are found on Apples App Store. Some of these apps run on both i. Phone and i. Pad, while others work on just one or the other. Ferdinand Foxs Big Sleep runs on i. Pad only. Ferdinand in the App Store at launchFerdinand Fox in the App Store New Apps section during launch week How I planned my book app. Research. I spent a lot of time browsing the App Store and downloading free and paid childrens book apps to see how they worked and what features they offered. Some apps I immediately loved such as Nosy Crows wonderfully sophisticated Cinderella and The Three Little Pigs stories. Others felt more like games than storybooks, or even like mini TV movies though in hindsight I may have been looking in the wrong App Store category. I shall be blogging separately about how hard it is to find and navigate the App Store Nevertheless it was useful to see what interactivity all of these childrens apps offered and in particular to see how they dealt with page turning, help menus, navigation and social media sharing everything that I would call customer experience. I made copious notes and sketches about what I felt worked and what didnt. My experience observing website usability testing over the years certainly helped me come at this with a critical eye. Outline proposition. I knew early on and more than ever after my research that I wanted my book app to feel like, well, a book app Not a game and not a mini interactive film. I wanted it to offer parents and children the shared reading experience of a print book book style layout with turning pages and to that extent an e. Book combined with the kind of simple yet fun educationalinteractivity that I knew was beyond the capability of an e. Book. It was also important that my target audience of 3 5 yrs should be able to enjoy the book alone using a Read to me option, as well as having a grown up read it to them. Since the story uses quite sophisticated rhyming text I didnt intend it to be a book to learn to read with though I know already that older siblings and parents grandparents do enjoy reading it to themselvesI wanted my app to look and feel like a book. NB The green labelling only appears on the marketing screenshots not the app itself. Getting estimates from app developers. Once I had an idea of the sorts of interactions and menu configuration I wanted my next step was to get some estimates. Figures I had heard bandied around at the 2. London Book Fair suggested that development costs for childrens book apps typically run into tens of thousands of pounds or more. However, I had a hunch there would be indie app developers out there offering reasonable rates in order to make a name for themselves. So, after contacting a few childrens app developer sites via Google and being quoted thousands of dollars I decided to post the job on Elance. I was upfront that I had a budget in the hundreds rather than thousands of pounds and that this may well mean I couldnt take the project forward. Then something unexpected and extremely welcoming happened as well receiving a range of quotes from India, Europe and the USA of between 2,0. I was contacted separately by two developers both in the UK who offered to do the work for free, or almost free  In each case they felt it worth it in return for the experience and exposure it would give them. Im sure it helped that I already had my completed print book on sale, with RGB images ready to re use, and a presence and audience. Budgets aside, the idea of working with someone in the UK even at a distance was the icing on the cake with this offer. I had no understanding of how coding worked, and to know Id be able to pick up the phone for a discussion in the same time zone if things got too complicated was extremely reassuring. I should add that I insisted on paying a modest given the time spent but not unreasonable fee for the finished product far less than Id have paid on the open market, but enough to show my genuine appreciation to my developer at East. Yorkshire. Apps. co. Deciding on interactivity. Through my research of other apps I knew I wanted to include the following features as basics Read to me Read by myself options. Simple animation activated on touch enough to engage, delight and complement the story but not so much as to be completely distracting. Fun, relevant sound effects on touch and in the story flow church clock chiming, sheep baaing etc, again without going overboard. Simple, intuitive navigation menus. Navigation menu accessed from the home button on every page. In addition I wanted to add learning opportunities to help with basic word and object recognition.
