iLovecraft Collection Vol. 1

As a knowledgeable and passionate Lovecraft fan I could not have been more pleased about the creativity that went into the design of this app. I can promise that you will enjoy the audio and visual experience that the designers have put together in these short tales by one of the very best authors of horror that ever lived. I recommend wearing a headset because the eerie music and ambient sound effects really enhances the interactive visual experience. I hope there will be more stories on the way?? How about an adaptation of two of Lovecrafts very best stories: ‘Shadows Over Innsmouth’ or ‘The Shadow Out Of Time’....possibly even, ‘The Call of Cthulhu’.......I’m ready to buy!

First of all, this is one of the most brilliant apps I’ve ever had the pleasure to purchase. An absolutely gorgeous visualization of a world I’ve always wanted to familiar myself with, but have been too intimidated. Something that specifically stuck out to me was what seems to be the BRPD insignia drawn out on the monolith from Dagon. Is this a Hellboy Easter egg? Or is this another asset that Mignola had brought to his universe? If it is an Easter egg, kudos because, of course, without the work of lovecraft Hellboy probably wouldn’t be a thing, so I really admire the sort of cycle. If it’s a true thing at all. Sorry for the tangent. I just got pretty stoked when I saw that.

This is my first review of any app. I chose to write one in support of this small start-up company. The apps usually contain just a few stories, but are worth it! The mixture of music, story, and art combine wonderfully to create the right mood Lovecraft. I’ve even bought the all the other apps from their other collections too. These developers know how to create the right mood for a good classic. I come back and reread them time and time again.

These books are entertaining and well done, but unfortunately I have to give them a low rating due to the apps suspicious behavior. I have purchased all of the iclassics and found that they all immediately default to the 'on' position in cellular data and immediately use nearly a megabyte of data. Why a book would need to use any data at all is curious and that they use that much data is both odd and suspicious. I wrote to the company at the email posted on their website but received no response. I cannot recommend purchasing these books unless they stop this practice of sending whatever data they're gathering and using customers cellular data without permission.

I love this app. I love Lovecraft inspired video games and horror movies, but when I tried to read his work, I couldn't visualize it. This app is great, because it lets me enjoy the story without much thought. The illustrations are great, and I love how I can interact with them. They remind me of pop-up books I had as a kid, except these are definitely for an older audience. I'd love to see more in the future, hopefully maybe "The Call of Cthulhu"
