@brooks_jones: One of my favorite story apps (with no words) is Nighty Night--anybody else got that one? #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:11 am

@lynleystace: @brooks_jones Yes, that's a great bedtime book. Nice and dark, excellent with the light off. Soothing narration. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:12 am

@DavidBFox: @brooks_jones I don't have that one, but I started thinking about some of the books our we "read" to our kids that had no text #storyappchat

@JulieFHedlund: @brooks_jones Good to know. I don't think I've seen any wordless book apps. So tonight's topic is intriguing. #storyappchat

@JulieFHedlund: @brooks_jones It seems to me that if a story app has spoken voiceover it's not technically "wordless." #storyappchat

@mtechman: @brooks_jones @DavidBFox hard to say - depends on purpose, story, tone (on-screen text w voiceover) #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:16 am

@DavidBFox: @iPad_storytime what would be an app dev's reason for not having text when there's narration? #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:17 am

@JulieFHedlund: Interesting because a truly wordless app would have the illos (as in print), but could also use animation to enhance story #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:17 am

@lynleystace: Let's not forget that literacy takes many forms. 'Reading' a picture is equally important as reading words. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:17 am

@lynleystace: @DavidBFox One reason is that the words take up too much real estate on the screen. I'm having that problem now. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:17 am

@brooks_jones: Perhaps there are some reasons an app w/VO would be hindered with on-screen text, but I can't think of any. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:17 am

@lynleystace: Must all apps achieve all things to all users? Is it not ok to have an audiobook with pictures? #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:21 am

@JulieFHedlund: I'm confused about the "text option." If a book is truly wordless, it won't have text. If it has spoken words, it needs text.. #storyappchat

@SparkytheShark: @DavidBFox Our book is for iPhone too & it was a challenge. To keep legibility U have to sacrifice other things Very limited #storyappchat

@DavidBFox: @JulieFHedlund Thanks for joining us and again contributing some really good ideas! #storyappchat

@DavidBFox: @bnemedia hah! #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 1:48 am

@DavidBFox: @SparkytheShark what did you have to sacrifice? #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 1:48 am

@JulieFHedlund: @bnemedia Funny! #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 1:48 am

@brooks_jones: @JulieFHedlund Thanks so much for stopping by and adding to the rich discussion tonite! #storyappchat

@lynleystace: @SparkytheShark Small text looks a lot more legible on a retina screen. I'm looking forward to when no-one's using the old. #storyappchat

@JulieFHedlund: @DavidBFox Thanks David. Glad to be here. Won't make it next week but will check transcript. :-) #storyappchat

@SparkytheShark: @DavidBFox I suppose it's like trying to fit an elephant into a matchbox. Some books just don't interpret well to iPhone #storyappchat

@iPad_storytime: @JulieFHedlund Thanks for joining us tonight & hosting last week! :) #storyappchat

@JulieFHedlund: TY @DavidBFox @brooks_jones @iPad_storytime for another great chat. Good night! #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:51 am

@iPad_storytime: @SparkytheShark Will it be universal? Sometimes iPhone is not best format 4 story, we only review on iPad for this reason ... #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:51 am

@DavidBFox: @SparkytheShark wondering whether for kids reading on an iPhone/iPod Touch is less of an issue for us adults... #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:52 am

@lynleystace: @DavidBFox Yes, I have good glasses, so I haven't had issues reading on small screens that some reviewers say they have had. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:53 am

@brooks_jones: LOL RT @SparkytheShark: It's like trying to fit an elephant into a matchbox. Some books just don't interpret well to iPhone #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:54 am

@SparkytheShark: @DavidBFox We had to resize buttons & text which then encroached on the images & looks squished. Text is a nightmare #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:54 am

@DavidBFox: @SparkytheShark ... with their tiny fingers, often much better eyesight (I remember reading tiny text an inch from my eye) #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:54 am

@DavidBFox: That was decades ago though... #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 1:55 am

@DavidBFox: @lynleystace I need better glasses... #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 1:56 am

@lynleystace: @DavidBFox The leaves on the trees will astound you. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:56 am

@brooks_jones: @lynleystace @DavidBFox I NEED good glasses too--eyesight failing fast! #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:56 am

@SparkytheShark: @lynleystace I KNOW. It's infuriating. New screens will allow smaller text = Good for future but useless for compatibility #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:56 am

@DavidBFox: @lynleystace the leaves aren't any problem. It's the tiny writing on the leaves. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:57 am

@lynleystace: Next time I'm going to ask my optometrist about kids & reading small text on screens. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:57 am

@lynleystace: @DavidBFox I've really got to visit San Francisco. Your trees sound amazing! #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:58 am

@DavidBFox: @lynleystace they are! Very literate. Or maybe it's those literate caterpillars. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:59 am

@lynleystace: @DavidBFox Oh dog I've only got seven years to enjoy the retina display! This is depressing. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:59 am

@ArtsySquirrel: @brook_jones Thanks. #storyappchat. I'm off to bed. Will need help soon with getting work out to right people. 2 PB bks. Shld b apps.
May 7, 2012, 1:59 am

@SparkytheShark: @iPad_storytime We developed completely different version for iPhone. We just updated iPad version but won't update iPhone #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 1:59 am

@DavidBFox: @lynleystace if the trend continues, we'll have super retina displays by then... or pixel-less displays #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:00 am

@SparkytheShark: @iPad_storytime There was no way we could do a universal. It just wouldn't have worked #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:00 am

@lynleystace: @SparkytheShark What about story with text for iPad, and audio only for smaller screens? Just a random thought. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:00 am

@lynleystace: @DavidBFox And replacement eyeballs, I hope. #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 2:00 am

@SparkytheShark: @DavidBFox yes children have better eyes, but you run the risk of criticism from reviewers with small text and buttons. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:01 am

@iPad_storytime: @SparkytheShark That's smart, it shows when compromises R made 2 accomodate both screen sizes - better to optimize separately. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:01 am

@DavidBFox: @lynleystace I like my eyeballs. Maybe a magic pill that returns them to their former elasticity... #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:01 am

@brooks_jones: This was another chat that really flew by! #storyappchat Thanks to all of you who added to the discussion.
May 7, 2012, 2:02 am

@lynleystace: @DavidBFox Elasticity? Now I'm imagining eyeball yo-yos. Thanks for the image. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:02 am

@SparkytheShark: @DavidBFox yes, they have better eyes in general, but we have to develop for the masses. That includes all eyes ;) #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:02 am

@DavidBFox: @SparkytheShark Good point. Best reviewers, though, watch someone from the target audience with the app before writing review #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:02 am

@SparkytheShark: @DavidBFox We've got a new iPad. It's AWESOME! So clear!! #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:03 am

@brooks_jones: Thanks also to my stellar #storyappchat co-hosts @iPad_storytime and @DavidBFox !

May 7, 2012, 2:03 am

@DavidBFox: @lynleystace or Roger Rabbit's eyeball popping moments #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 2:03 am

@lynleystace: @SparkytheShark I saw the new iPad for the first time last weekend and I was very impressed! #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:03 am

@bnemedia: @brooks_jones It was wonderful. Thanks so much! See you all next week. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:04 am

@iPad_storytime: Wonderful discussion - just the tip of the iceberg from what I can tell! Thank you to my co-hosts @DavidBFox & @brooks_jones ! #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:04 am

@DavidBFox: Thanks everyone for joining in. Some really interesting ideas to consider. Thanks co-hosts @brooks_jones & @iPad_storytime! #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:05 am

@lynleystace: Thanks, everyone. I predicted this discussion was going to pan out differently; #storyappchat is always a pleasant surprise.
May 7, 2012, 2:05 am

@DavidBFox: @lynleystace We can have your version of the discussion next time :-) #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:06 am

@SparkytheShark: @lynleystace I hope it ends up that way and becomes the norm. It makes more sense doesn't it? #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:06 am

@SparkytheShark: @brooks_jones Thanks. Great chat #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 2:07 am

@SparkytheShark: @iPad_storytime and we've just developed Sparky for Android and Kindle Fire. But that's another discussion #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:08 am

@SparkytheShark: @DavidBFox but most don't :( #storyappchat

May 7, 2012, 2:09 am

@iPad_storytime: @SparkytheShark Really ... if you send links for Android & Kindle Fire we can add them ... #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:09 am

@SparkytheShark: @lynleystace Makes the old one look terrible especially when you compare them side by side #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:09 am

@BeBraveBook: @DavidBFox Can you please remind me again how to join the chat. Thanks and sorry for asking - just arrived - too late! Opps.. #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:10 am

@SparkytheShark: @iPad_storytime Will do. The Android if now up and for sale. The Kindle Fire is days away. Will be in touch. Thx #storyappchat
May 7, 2012, 2:11 am
