Latest reviews of Superhero Comic Book Maker app for iPhone and iPad
Very open-ended and creative, leading to hours of entertainment. High quality graphics. Well worth it.
This is the only review Ive ever written because we love this app! I got it for my 4 year old, but have to muster all self control not to swipe it from his imaginative little hands - I want to play too! Duck Duck Moose has an app for all of our intelligences...they are wonderful!
This is great for Cartoon Making!
We have made one comic strip so far. I created it for one of my 3yr old boys to help him not be scared of the dark. SHCBM is great as a simple tool to tell a story, with basic animation (whatever you can do by dragging items around the screen). The sound recording is excellent, although you want to be somewhere quiet. It will pick up background noise. The reason I didnt give it 5 stars is its missing some functionality. First, you cant recreate the types of animations you see on the website video. You can only manipulate whats already on the screen during record, rather than make things appear, disappear, make larger, or smaller. The biggest issue is you can only share essentially screen shots of your comics. I couldnt find a way to save the comic strips with animation and sound. So the story I made my son is stuck on my phone. You are also limited to 12 panels per comic strip, and you only seem to have one strip at a time. You cant build a bunch of different strips, then save them. Editing/deleting is also available on every panel, even during playback. I wish there was a lock function. All of that being said, I gave it four stars because of how easy it is to make panels, throw together animation and sound, and have a personalized strip. The coloring pages are really fun, and the boys spent a long time just on them. Those can become part of a strip, too. You can also make any picture on your device a panel background, add text, funny hats and accessories, and sound. We have a number of DDM apps and it seems like there is a lot of art from their other apps available in this one. It says monsters and superheroes, but theres also dragons, diggers, dump trucks, and other vehicles. Its not super complicated. My kids really love this app.
This actually does something interesting and unique. For all the options available it is easy to figure out. Has helpful prompts.
