AlphaDigits Gives ‘Pirate’ A Great Review

Posted on June 18, 2012 by Cary Snowden

AlphaDigits.com wrote up a great review on The Day I Became A Pirate.

After explaining that book apps for the iPad (and the like) are changing the industry with great content that can be purchased for a buck or two, AphaDigits said this:

“The Day I Became A Pirate is one such book that offers a story with a lot of surprising elements.”

The Captain and crew are thrilled to be recognized for having ‘a lot of surprising elements’. Say that out loud in your Talk Like A Pirate Day voice; it sounds awesome, yarrr.

The review sums up with a nod to our children’s book category, saying…

“With story, puzzles, suspense and clues, this app would really be an entertainment package if you have kids at home.”

-Which is a nice payoff and a great endorsement to our target audience.

The title of the review is Reading is Fun with The Day I Became A Pirate. The book is also featured on their Home Page as a Featured App.

I am glad they liked it!

Can’t Advance From Cover?

I am hearing that many of you are having trouble finding the Start Button on the Cover Page for The Day I Became A Pirate.

The Start button is a little hard to see; it is in the lower right corner of the Cover Page.

I am working on an update that will highlight the Forward button a little more on the starting page. In the meantime, here is a screenshot showing the starting ‘Forward’ button location.

The Start Button is in the lower right corner of the Cover Page. Sorry about that; I am working on a better solution for the next update.
