iClassics: Beyond Engrossing

iClassics unites the old and the new to create immersive experiences that inspire and move everyone.

Through cutting-edge technology and sophisticated artwork, the iPoe Collection Vol. 1 served as iClassics Production's first Immersive Entertainment app, and went on to gather numerous awards.

By casting a modern glare on a fine selection of Edgar Allan Poe's stories, the result is a spectacular and wholly original experience that utilizes every feature of modern mobile devices (gyro-perspective, flash, vibration).

TILT to reveal what's in the shadows

TOUCH to uncover obscured details

TURN to discover what lurks off the screen

Interaction, illustration, animation, FX, and OST all combine to create a unique and innovative entertainment experience that stands somewhere between the cinematic and the literary.

-----------------------

Edgar Allan Poe was a maverick, a man whose inventiveness and creative madness helped to define the horror and macabre genres.

It is thus fitting to experience his works in an equally inventive format that showcases his work in a modern and artistically sophisticated way.

In this first edition, the following classics are included:

-The Oval Portrait
-The Tell-Tale Heart
-Annabel Lee
-The Masque of the Red Death

-----------------------

"iPoe is of such high quality that it underscored the strength of Poe's material."

Highlights:

- Fully illustrated by David Garcia Forés
- Interactive elements and animations that bring the stories to life

NOT WORKING

NS-86 on

This is ridiculous. It doesn’t work and now it’s asking me for more money to open it back up again. I want a refund.

Deliciously horrible.

Bummer

_Elyse_M720 on

Was so excited to try this out and realized the sound doesn’t work!

Love this!!!

Long Time Practicer on

Another fantastic work. Can wait to read volume 2!!!

Great homage to Poe’s works

dvdkit on

I really enjoyed the music and illustrations for these classic Poe tales. One feature that would be nice is the ability to lower the volume of the music which was blaring much louder than the sound effects. I was about to give a 5-star review, then a pop-up asked me for a review with only two options, OK and OK. I have to subtract a star for that unfortunately.

Super annoyed

elliobr on

The very first thing to pop up when I open the app is a request for a review with the options of “OK” or “OK”. How the heck can I give this app a good review when it instantly removes me from the app and sends me to the review page before I’ve ever use the freaking app. Super annoyed!

Damned good app

Sowebo Mick on

This app is really well-done, I really enjoy all of the hidden “Easter Egg” type of pop up features.. This is a very entertaining presentation of Poe’s works, which are well worth celebrating

Love Poe

Drac850 on

I had some glitches early on where it worked fine, then stopped, but after updates, working well again. I use this to help my children engage in these works from an amazing writer..

Distracting

ianchusy1 on

Clever little animations, but they are distracting and in some cases, causing nausea/motion sickness. Add an option to disable animations.

Flawed work of art

bluemeanieface on

The devs clearly love the material. The elements of sound design music and art design were all clearly doted upon. Why not 5 stars? Firstly, the assumption that there would be an option to have the book read to the user can’t be only my own. Yet, you still must do allthe reading in a time when audiobooks are closing in quickly on the print market. An interactive book- what does that sound like? Sure, some would prefer to “turn” the “pages” and read with their eyes but why not both things? Secondly, as one does read the old fashion words in the old fashion way, even the nerdiest bookworm will encounter a word in the text that is out of use and might as well be a foreign word. No way am I reading an immersive interactive book so I can look up the words in a dictionary or separate dictionary app. Why is there no ability to highlight words, therein providing a built in Apple dictionary to look up what Sagacity means? Or a glossary worth the option to have those archaic words highlighted? Otherwise, this is a very cool and unique upgrade on boring old kindle reading.
