iStory is a new spin on interactive fiction and storytelling. Youll love being able to choose your own path each and every time you play through.
But thats not all!
iStory includes StoryScript, which takes the interactive story telling genre to the next level.
Random events, variable tracking, and even entire text games are possible!
I have created 4 sample adventures to show what iStory is capable of:
*Mission To The Moon
*Cross The River
*Magic Prediction Ball
*Zombie Madness
To create an iStory, use iStory to register your iPhone or iPod Touch. Then, you can create and play iStories on the iStory web site.
Once your iStory is created, Youll be able to play it on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
You can also invite your friends to help author your iStory and create truly collaborative content!

Pros and cons of iStory - interactive fiction and text adventure app for iPhone and iPad
iStory - interactive fiction and text adventure app good for
This is a cool app...I will give 5 stars if you update this app that allowsto create your stories inthe itouch instead of inthe site:)
If you are like me, an adventurer who seeks thrills in the pages of a great book, but someone who also likes to make their own decisions about the outcome, this is the product for you. As a life long fan of choosing my own adventure, this app fits me like a glove, and it will fit you like a glove too, or if it doesnt you can turn to page 8 where it will fit you like a nice, warm sock!
Great app! Brings back so many memories. The ability to create stories just shows the makers of this app really want to give users their moneys worth. A starbucks latte never gave me this much enjoyment and those cost more than this app. Great job iStory team!
Reminds me of old times with choose your own adventure books. The create feature is just perfect for getting more content for everyone. Id like to see some real books loaded into this. Also, support for animations and sounds would be a nice feature.
I love the old choose your own adventure books, and this is just like that! Except on my iphone!
iStory is a choose-your-own-adventure story sharing app. With this app, you can connect directly to your account in the iStory website and view stories created by user directly on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Unfortunatly as of right now there isnt any story except for the ones created by the developer. However, there will probably be more stories avalible as more people starts to join the iStory community. Buying this app right now will be a gamble, but for 99 cents Im willing to take the chance. This app is going back to $2.99 soon. I say buy it if its still $.99 leave it if its $2.99.
Also I would like to request an update for:
•The ability to create your own stories and submit them right off the device.
•A better user interface.
Note: The customer support is awesome, received an reply within 5 min. ;)
Some bad moments
Access to write and publish your stories! You CANNOT AT PRESENT WRITE YOUR STORIES OFFLINE, NOR CAN YOU READ YOUR STORIES OFFLINE!
"EVERYTHING IS DONE ONLINE"
Apparently the option to be able to write and then post to the site online is a possibility but the date this will happen is still TBA! Ive been waiting for MONTHS!
Spend money for an app that doesnt work, no idea why its on the App Store
I read all the reviews and after about 3 minutes of "playing", I wanted my money back. Im not sure who wrote the reviews but there really is only 1 full story thats been developed and that one, is, at best rudimentary. The other two--Magic 8 Ball is like another app but instead of "shaking" you get to "pose a question" mentally and the 8 Ball will respond. The other is more of a logic puzzle. I was very disappointed and deleted it from my iphone immediately. It has potential if the stories were better and more fully developed. Only get this if youre interested in creating your own stories.
I put my email adress in to start my stories three times since a week ago and I still havent gotten an email, even though it said it was sent. I would like to see this fixed, it sounds like a fun app and I would like to use it.
Ive had this game for more then 3 months now. Ive been waiting patiently for an update so I can make stories on my iPod instead of on my computer, but sadly, it still has not come. The going on my computer to write a story part isnt working for me and frankly, Im tired of waiting. Update already!
When I got this app I tried one of the stories and I couldnt read a thing because its all bunched up in the top part of the screen, whats wrong with it?
