We’re vitally interested in all your reactions to The Reading Game! Have a thought? Comment below or email us. Here are some of the reactions to our new app in the first 24 hours since its release.
We love to read and we love kids! We wanted to support kids who faced a mountain of books to read over the summer or during the school year, to make sure that reading those books is a pleasure, rather than a chore. And we wanted to create a way to reward kids for reading every day.
Apps make our mobile devices new every time we turn them on. They can deepen our solitude or connect us with a friend, a book or a crowd. They motivate our workout, entertain us, give us a new recipe or help us develop new ways to be productive.
The apps that have yet to be created are what interests me most.
The hardware and software platforms that Apple provides its developers are the closest to what I would consider the perfect “lump of clay” to begin most worthwhile experiments. The iPhone and iPad can be whatever we want it to be. Lets try a sophisticated geolocation system on for size, or a paint brush and canvas to record our experiences.
