Appadvice.com wrote about the app: "Includes 100 full interactive pages, each which includes artwork, original music, sounds, and a secret for the reader to discover."

Among the rest of the positive feedback are comments such as, "iPad book app reinvented", "Feels like a whole new way to read", and many others. The newest project is a first-ever iPad app about gadgets and technology for kids. This immersive story features 23 of the world’s greatest gadgets that have influenced our society, and comes with 54 hand­drawn fully interactive pages. Your kids will be able to run their fingers over 3D models of a radio set, light­bulb and other tech innovations that have revolutionized our life. On each page there is a special features that allows you to discover how they work. Actually, it’s an educational story. Some discoveries we use almost daily, for example a thermometer, and some you can only observe in museums, like the 1984 release of the Apple Macintosh. We have given the book the atmosphere of a fairy tale; beautiful illustrations are combined with a dreamlike score and interactive elements with which both children and adults can empathize. It starts with the wheel and ends with Google Glass. Kids can listen to the story of each gadget and also read a longer, more detailed version of it. When touching a character or any object, children can discover many hidden secrets effects. After this, you can try mixing different gadgets to create something unique that works by magic (or if you are a realist, by technology). It’s an amazing adventure for 6­15 y.o. kids from through the old times and not so old times, right up to the start of 2015. The company was founded in 2011 by Vlad Usov and Dmitry Krivoshey. Another project from these guys is Kwambio, a company that specializes in 3D printing, so very likely in the next app update there will be a 3D printer option added.More
