@ ToysBulletin: This is not your typical e-book, in fact, it is a beautifully illustrated and interactive presentation of a truly engaging story that surprised the entire staff.
@ SmartAppsForKids: Snow Queen is priced $4.99 but the amount of content, the illustrations, the beautiful music and effects absolutely justifies the price. It is without a doubt, my favourite Christmas app.
@ Kirkus: Sumptuously illustrated and enriched with some clever effects, this slightly dark tale should engage lovers of fairy tales as well as those looking for a good story.
@ CrazyMikesApps: This Kids iPad app is one of the most masterfully crafted interactive books Ive ever come across.

Latest reviews of Snow Queen app for iPhone and iPad
Wonderfully told and illustrated.
This app has a phenomenal story and exquisite illustrations. It is at a great reading level for my third grader. Wow!!!!
After seeing Frozen with the kids, Im so happy to have found this app. Its perfect for our 5 year old at bedtime. The Disney movie is loosely based on this story but we know how the movies always turn out opposed to how the story was really told. She enjoys having the story read to her and the the fun interactive pages. The music is every bit as beautiful as the illustrations. Its a chapter book, and she barely made it through the first without falling asleep. The narrator has a very soothing voice.
Very beautiful story, illustrations and interaction. Just needs the ability to bookmark the page you left off at, but that is in no way a detriment.
This app is more than just a book, more than a game, its both and a work of art also. As an artist, I recognize the illustration talent that went into the graphic portion of the the story. But then the storytellers went even further, and created a story within a story, a game within a game. This is the gift of the the interactive tablet, realized.
