Tweet Time Starting now: #storyappchat Topic: iPhone 5 http://t.co/Ij477wky Join every Sunday, 9 PM ET/6 PM Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:58:49 +0000 Hi everyone. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:59:20 +0000 RT @Julia_Brannon: Starting now: #storyappchat Topic: iPhone 5 http://t.co/Ij477wky Join every Sunday, 9 PM ET/6 PM Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:59:38 +0000 OK, just about ready to start #storyappchat tonite--who's out there? Topic tonite = iPhone5! Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:59:39 +0000 @lynleystace @Julia_Brannon @TELPmedia Welcome to #storyappchat tonite--glad to have you all! Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:00:40 +0000 First off: Which of you guys ordered a iPhone5? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:02:56 +0000 We don't have any iPh*nes in this house, regrettably. But I'd like to see one. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:03:28 +0000 I'll have to wait until the spring, when my current contract is up. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:03:45 +0000 @brooks_jones Ah, so no camping outside the Apple store for you, then? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:04:05 +0000 @lynleystace Have you started reformatting the art 4 your app--if needed? How are you handling the increased number of pixels? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:04:35 +0000 RT @brooks_jones: First off: Which of you guys ordered a iPhone5? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:05:03 +0000 I have downloaded iOS 6 on my iPad 2, though, cos Dan kept asking me if I'd done it. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:05:04 +0000 No iPhone 5 orders in our house. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:05:24 +0000 @brooks_jones We had a lot of conversation about whether we'd do anything to accommodate the longer screen. Answer is nothing. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:05:30 +0000 @lynleystace I updated my iPad2 to iOS6 too! Was bummed that Siri isn't included for the iPad2. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:05:59 +0000 @lynleystace My husband updated to iOS6 on his phone, but I haven't updated mine. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:06:01 +0000 Mainly bc @superhareball says it's a huge coding pain, and storyapps are built with tablets in mind, no? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:06:11 +0000 @lynleystace So--just living with the black bars for now? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:06:32 +0000 For universal storybook apps, what percentage are iPhone sales? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:06:34 +0000 @Julia_Brannon I'm regretting it, because the comma to apostrophe thing isn't working anymore. This is huge. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:06:39 +0000 I'm here! Sorry to be late - just finished up a new review of a cute FREE book app http://t.co/w2a2qPv5 #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:06:56 +0000 @Julia_Brannon We think about 20-30 percent, but hard to tell from chart rankings. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:07:01 +0000 I'd love to know this too! RT @Julia_Brannon: For universal storybook apps, what percentage are iPhone sales? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:07:11 +0000 @iPad_storytime Welcome, awesome co-host! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:07:40 +0000 My first thought upon learning of new screen was 'a place for the main text'! Dan wasn't impressed with that idea though. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:07:47 +0000 @brooks_jones Treasure Kai sales - about 20% are iPhone. Most are iPad. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:08:14 +0000 I'm waiting to decide when my contract's up in May. Personally, I'd like a smaller phone (more pocket-sized) & mini-iPad more #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:08:27 +0000 Even if you get a sale via iPhone though, impossible to tell how the app is actually being used. May be reading on tablet. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:08:29 +0000 @lynleystace No camping--in fact, I've never owned an iPhone. Will probably switch N March though--DH wants 2 switch 2 Verizon #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:09:01 +0000 @iPad_storytime We've decided we will get one as we need another phone. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:09:13 +0000 @KarenRobertson Same as us, then. Maybe a common stat for story apps? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:09:18 +0000 @lynleystace I actually like the idea of using the extra space for text in many cases. It's a good solution if formatted well. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:09:34 +0000 @KarenRobertson Welcome to #storyappchat--great to have you here tonite! Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:09:39 +0000 @iPad_storytime The question is, how much time/effort to expend on a single new model? For us, it's not justified. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:10:19 +0000 @iPad_storytime Agree Carisa, I'd rather have smaller and thicker than longer and thinner but if we get one, it will be Chris' #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:10:29 +0000 RT @iPad_storytime: I like the idea of using the extra space for text in many cases. It's a good solution if formatted well. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:10:42 +0000 @brooks_jones Thanks! Great to be here. Sunday nights are usually really tough. Glad to see everyone. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:10:58 +0000 The other question we ask for universal apps is to what extent do you compromise iPad design to accommodate smaller screens? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:11:02 +0000

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:14:41 +0000 @brooks_jones Yes. Exactly what Dan said. The issue may arise when viewing story on iPod sized screen. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:15:21 +0000 @lynleystace Do you have a name for your next app yet? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:15:49 +0000 @Julia_Brannon We haven't reserved it yet but I'm hoping it'll be called Midnight Feast. Hope I didn't jinx that now... #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:16:14 +0000 @iPad_storytime Is it my imagination or are there a wealth of free children's book apps out these days? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:16:20 +0000 @Julia_Brannon It's not your imagination. There was a race to the bottom and we all 'won'. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:16:44 +0000 @lynleystace Midnight Feast? Sounds intriguing! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:16:57 +0000 @Julia_Brannon Yes & No. There are a lot of sales lately. I noticed same thing last year right up to xmas. Not many stay free. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:17:39 +0000 @brooks_jones Glad you like it. It took ages to come up with The Artifacts, but for this story I can think of lots of titles. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:17:42 +0000 @Julia_Brannon Tons of free books in the Kindle store now too. Definitely a race to the bottom now :( #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:17:54 +0000 @KarenRobertson Glad you could make it tonight! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:18:04 +0000 @lynleystace I'd be honored to review your new one, when you get it wrapped up #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:18:25 +0000 @lynleystace Love Midnight Feast! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:18:40 +0000 Morning everyone ~ keen to hear what people thinks of the new iPhone #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:18:41 +0000 @lynleystace I love the name Midnight Feast. I can't wait to see it. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:19:07 +0000 @lynleystace Size definitely matters, but keeping a simple, easy to read font is more important than size, imo, for book apps #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:19:09 +0000 @4littletesters Welcome to #storyappchat! Great to have you with us tonite :) Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:19:09 +0000 @brooks_jones Thanks! Actually, I'm hoping some of you guys would give me some pre- release critique this time. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:19:09 +0000 @lynleystace You got it--send me an email whenever you're ready! Can't wait to see it. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:19:53 +0000 I know that a few #kidsapps fell to iOS 6 #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:19:57 +0000 @iPad_storytime Indeed. Do I stick with the open source font I used last time? I'm handwriting this time, but still not sure. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:20:28 +0000 @Julia_Brannon Thanks Julie and thanks for beta testing the sequel to Treasure Kai! We are super excited. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:20:40 +0000 With iPhone 5, I'm wondering if lots of updates will be submitted, making approval times slower. Any thoughts? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:21:09 +0000 @iPad_storytime Happy Sunday #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:21:18 +0000 @brooks_jones It'll be a while but I'm working my butt off now.

So glad you could join us :) Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:21:50 +0000 @KarenRobertson We love Treasure Kai 2! My son goes back to Treasure Kai 1 often.

#storyappchat Topic: the iPhone5 @KarenRobertson Glad to see you here tonight! Looking forward to sharing new @TreasureKai with my kiddo soon ... #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon Thanks Julie. I want to play the de Soto treasure hunt you designed for your son. Kai might have to borrow! #storyappchat @brooks_jones Thank you, glad to be here. #storyappchat Hello everyone, here to see what everybody have to say about iPhone 5 and its features #storyappchat @realfunlearning Welcome to #storyappchat tonite--glad to have you here with us @iPad_storytime Thanks Carisa! Can't wait to hear what you think. It's quite unique and kids who've seen it are going nuts! #storyappchat Are any of you doing anything to take advantage of new iOS6 features? #storyappchat @lynleystace Not sure. Handwriting can also be nice, but it's all in how elements come together & wear on the reader's eyes. #storyappchat I don't need a pocket-sized phone. I'd like something large for reading & calls w/ wireless keyboard #storyappchat @brooks_jones I've heard a lot of grumbling about changes in keywords & app discovery with iOS 6 but don't understand it well #storyappchat @KarenRobertson Sounds great! It's not often I meet fellow treasure hunters... #storyappchat @iPad_storytime Too bad @DavidBFox isn't here, I bet he'd have some wisdom to share for #storyappchat re: iOS 6 issues @iPad_storytime I'm trying to understand it too. Anyone have any insights? #storyappchat @iPad_storytime I see McSweeney's are launching kids' line of books. They've said they'll avoid fancy font on principle. #storyappchat @lynleystace The issue with fonts for beginning readers is that they don't recognize letters of odd fonts. #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon I wouldn't mind mid-sized tablet/phone hybrid, but I really miss my flip phone - I want a foldable smart screen #storyappchat RT @iPad_storytime: @brooks_jones Ive heard grumbling about changes in keywords&app discovery with iOS 6 but dont understand it #storyappchat I waiting for the release of the iTable. So. #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon dyslexics struggle with strange fonts too! #storyappchat The wonderful thing about storyapps though, is that they're narrated. Still, font is important. #storyappchat Right! RT @lynleystace: The wonderful thing about storyapps though, is that they're narrated. Still, font is important. #storyappchat I see lots of small font problems in printed kids' books put out by big publishers. It's an art form. #storyappchat @iPad_storytime My Motorola flip had awesome voice call sound quality. #storyappchat @lynleystace If you're unsure, best to go simple, big & easy to read w/ fonts, w/ integration w/ illustrations in mind #storyappchat @iPad_storytime Yes, no one can remark about the unremarkable. #storyappchat @lynleystace My son must read 50 pages per night for school. He will be reading some apps with the audio turned off. #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon But but but I was taught at teachers' college that 'read-alouds' (narration assisted reading) HELP literacy! #storyappchat I want a dedicated 'board game' sized tablet too. LOL! RT @lynleystace: I'm waiting for the release of the iTable. So. #storyappchat @lynleystace Part of your market will be teachers/schools. I suspect they will want simple fonts too. #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon There's something to be said for sticking to the same font across all your apps, too a la Dr Seuss. #storyappchat btw: I took an app to my son's school this week for story time. The 7 year olds were AMAZED by the iPad. #storyappchat @iPad_storytime The iBoard. Fantastic idea. #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon Which storyapps did you share with them? #storyappchat RT @Julia_Brannon: btw: I took an app to my sons school this week for story time. The 7 year olds were AMAZED by the iPad. #storyappchat Question: are the new Apple Maps that bad? Remember when Google Maps was horrid and you had to use MapQuest? #storyappchat I want to get my kids interacting around media more. RT @lynleystace: @iPad_storytime The iBoard. Fantastic idea. #storyappchat

Now doubly so. ;-) #storyappchat @RobinaArt Hello, welcome to #storyappchat! So glad you could make it :) @Julia_Brannon Agree. Will be interesting to see features. All kids at Scott's dyslexia school required iPad 2 for cameras + #storyappchat @brooks_jones Yes, you are right. I wonder what the price point will be? $239-399? #storyappchat @iPad_storytime They do need more women at the top making decisions. #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon I reckon $199-$249. I bought iPad 2 for $349. #storyappchat @iPad_storytime I would have nixed the name in development too. But Apple has mktg $ to make a word their own. #storyappchat Amen to that!

Ha. #storyappchat When are they thinking Apple announces the iPad Mini? October? #storyappchat @lynleystace How could they not? #storyappchat @brooks_jones I've heard October for iPad Mini but not set invitation date yet.. #storyappchat So to create a universal app, devs have to include artwork for both screen sizes, correct? #storyappchat @Julia_Brannon I'm imagining st like Freemasons. But you're right. Now I'm anticipating release of the iThrone. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:40:37 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:40:53 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:40:57 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:41:00 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:41:28 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:41:36 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:41:48 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:41:50 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:41:56 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:41:57 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:42:28 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:42:32 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:42:51 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:43:39 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:43:59 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:44:07 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:44:14 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:44:38 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:46:08 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:46:11 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:46:49 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:47:46 +0000 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:48:12 +0000

With the iPad Mini (and if you count the iPhone5) it'll be 4 different device/screen sizes, right? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:48:39 +0000 @brooks_jones For universal app, I send Dan 2048x1536 sized artwork and he resizes it at his end. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:49:39 +0000 @brooks_jones yes, artwork for both #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:49:54 +0000 I imagine we will be seeing quite a few black bars! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:50:26 +0000 But each (universal) app must contain all sizes in the final 'executable,' correct? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:50:30 +0000 @RobinaArt Are those black bars ugly, or do you not even notice it? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:51:09 +0000 @RobinaArt Yes, we will. Were I my own developer, I'd run a navigation bar there, something my app could use anyhow #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:51:21 +0000 @RobinaArt I can live with black bars on storybook apps. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:51:46 +0000 @iPad_storytime Joan Ganz Cooney study. Great read. I will tweet in a tick as I found it. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:51:52 +0000 @lynleystace No worse than looking at an iPhone app on the iPad.

Esp for apps which have been made with vectors. How hard is it to upscale?? #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:52:50 +0000 @RobinaArt Me three! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:53:05 +0000 @KarenRobertson True, which reminds me: I can't wait for the YouTube and Instagram iPad apps! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:53:07 +0000 (Note to developers) Yes, probably much much harder than I think! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:53:11 +0000 @KarenRobertson Sometimes I think that Joan Ganz Cooney is the only trustworthy source for app/kid research #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:53:41 +0000 @brooks_jones it can be re-sized at the end, but you have to keep in mind some details when doing it for iPhone for example #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:54:27 +0000 Is there anything left to say about the iPhone 5 or iOS 6? I'm in no rush to upgrade either. My 4 works fine. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:54:56 +0000 With vectors it is pretty easy to upscale. But if your app illustrations are not vectors it is not. #storyappchat" Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:55:11 +0000 @realfunlearning Right--I found this out myself when creating both versions of my own app. Aspect ratio not the same. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:55:16 +0000 @brooks_jones I remember Dan had extra work to do bc eg circles look like ovals when converted down. Not a simple conversion. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:55:33 +0000 @Julia_Brannon Report is terrific read and confirmed things I've observed as kids read book apps.Interactivity must b relevant #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:56:01 +0000 @lynleystace That stretched out look is never good! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:56:12 +0000 @brooks_jones 'Aspect ratio'. Them's the words I can never ever remember. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:56:18 +0000 Unfortunately for me, my illustrations are not vector. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:56:40 +0000 Open note to transcript readers: if you have wisdom to share re: the iPhone5, please share it w/the #storyappchat hashtag! Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:56:43 +0000 Oh yes, you meant the parent co-reading survey they did - thanks for sharing link. :) RT @KarenRobertson https://t.co/Tm8LS6BQ #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:57:04 +0000 @RobinaArt Neither are mine, but so much more is possible with rasters! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:57:05 +0000 @RobinaArt My art is vector, thank goodness. Can't imagine doing it any other way! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:57:09 +0000 @brooks_jones Ditto in reverse! (Is that a thing?) #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:57:32 +0000 RT @brooks_jones:transcript readers: if you have wisdom to share re: the iPhone5, please share it w/the #storyappchat hashtag! #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:57:41 +0000 @lynleystace @karenrobertson if apps are made with vectors is not a problem to upscale. It's very easy in fact... #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:59:10 +0000 Co-reading with children on iPads: Parents perceptions and practices RT @KarenRobertson: https://t.co/Lo3msSE8 #storyappchat" Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:59:30 +0000 @realfunlearning I thought so. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:59:32 +0000 I often wish iPad stories were treated exactly the same as printed books by parents/teachers. It'll happen maybe. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:01:03 +0000 In my interviews with Sesame Workshop & PBS, they highly emphasize co-reading as important for print & digital. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:01:26 +0000 RT @Julia_Brannon: Co-reading w children on iPads: Parents perceptions and practices RT @KarenRobertson: https://t.co/DC9ehI4c #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:01:47 +0000 Good chat tonight! Thanks to all of you for participating. #storyappchat Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:02:00 +0000

RT @Julia_Brannon: In my interviews w Sesame Workshop & PBS,they highly emphasize co- KarenRobertson reading as important for print&digital. #storyappchat I'm finding many teachers to curious but a little afraid of new technology. They feel Julia_Brannon unprepared. #storyappchat Maybe "Storybook Apps and Early Childhood Literacy" would make a good topic for next brooks_jones week's #storyappchat? KarenRobertson @brooks_jones Thanks for hosting! @brooks_jones Ooh yes, great idea for a chat. I can go on for hours about this.
