Description
tapStory enhances picture books with creative play. Kids animate characters and read the story out loud, and then play back their performances. They can also create their own stories based on existing characters and scenery! Characters can be moved, rotated, resized and flipped using simple gestures. Audio is recorded automatically as the reader narrates. All artwork from purchased stories is available for use in custom stories, and custom stories can be animated and played back just like existing ones.
Features:
- Move, resize, rotate and flip characters and objects in the scene
- Record your voice and your actions and play them back as an animation with audio
- Play back just one scene or the entire story automatically
- Describe your recordings with text or a short video clip to save them for later
- Browse all story recordings from the Home screen and play them back at any time
- Create your own stories using art from all the stories you've purchased and then adding your own text
- Buy new stories to read and animate, and then use their illustrations in your own stories

What's New in Version 2.7
New story creator features: scene copying and multiple identical items!
- Make a copy of the current scene: All items except for text will be included in a new scene added after the current one.
- When selecting artwork for your scenes, you may choose to add more than one of any item. Continue tapping on the item to add more copies of it. The bar at the bottom will indicate how many of each item you're adding.
This version addresses the issues with crashing in the Story Creator in two ways. First, it reduces the frequency of crashing. Second, it introduces crash recovery: If tapStory crashes while you are editing a story, your unsaved changes will not be lost.
There were also a few other minor bug fixes.
Customer Reviews
great app, fun for kids and adults
This is a fun and creative app for kids 4 and up. Books are read or created, and objects can be resized and moved in any book. The art is nice and the two stories included for free were well done. After the few bugs are fixed it will get five stars from us
