Children’s Bible for iPad


The iPhone best-seller has arrived to iPad worldwide. Produced by BCNmultimedia and developed by Robot Media, Children’s Bible for iPad offers parents and educators the opportunity to introduce the Bible to children through an interactive comic book tailored for the iPad’s high screen resolution.

Children’s Bible is available in 7 languages and also for iPhone, Android and Kindle.

A new way to read comics

Our mobile comics are much more than sequential art. Some use animation and sound for key scenes. Others apply different transition effects to convey more information, such as the passage of time. When we want to show images whose energy can’t be contained in a small screens, we use variations of the Ken Burns effect. And if we want to give an scene an extra beat, we make the device vibrate, like in the above example.

All these possibilities constitute a new growing language for comics. A language that might end up becoming a new form of entertainment, or simply give more possibilities to creators.

Enhanced eBooks

One of the next types of content that we will tackle will be eBooks. So far we made timid experiments on Kindle and iPhone, such as the Dracula’s Guest illustrated app we recently published. With the announcement of iBooks and the launch of the Kindle Development Kit, followed by an imminent Kindle App Store, it looks like eBook readers will finally allow for some truly creative use of technology. eBooks shouldn’t simply be books on a screen, and so far they haven’t lived to their potential yet.
