  • Licenses can be upgraded. You can upgrade to a more expensive license later paying only the difference in cost.
  • Pay attention to the distribution type - Hosted (sites / servers), binary (applications) or source (includes all the others). Choose according to your needs (more below).
  • All licenses allow commercial use unless otherwise indicated.
  • Read the full license by clicking on the icon.

Story Book iOS App Template (iPad + iPhone)

Story Book iOS App Template (iPad + iPhone)
Developed by Chris Mayer, Released Jun 26, 2011

Complete Xcode project. Ready-made app for a iPhone, iPad or Universal (iPad+iPhone) picture book. Replace existing jpeg images with your own to build an app in minutes. Includes option to add interactive extras such as coloring pages or activity sheets.

Objective-C

Tags: book , book app , ebook , ipad

A quick and easy way to publish a picture book (with optional audio) on the App Store, without the need to learn how to develop an App. The easy to use template loads your pages in JPEG format and even narration or sound in MP3 format, and outputs a native iPhone, iPad, or Universal (iPad+iPhone) app, ready for the App Store.

The Story Book App project has the following features:

  • Loads pages from image files - simply save your pages as .jpg files and the Story Book App will display them in sequence. (page1.jpg, page2.jpg, page3.jpg, etc)
  • Swipe between pages, or use the menu to jump to any page.
  • Animated page transitions. Animated startup sequence.
  • Supports an unlimited number of pages, example book included.
  • Universal - supports all models of iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
  • Narration audio (save your files as page2_narrate.mp3, page3_narrate.mp3, etc)
  • Add 'tap sounds' - MP3s which play when the user taps on each page (name them page2_tap.mp3, page3_tap.mp3, page4_tap.mp3, etc)
  • Add an extra layer to your pages with PNG files (eg. popup speech bubbles)
  • Button to link to website or another app from the in-app menu (eg, link to paid app from your free 'lite' app).
  • Choice of page transition styles (flip, fold, slide).
  • Right-to-left option for Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese books
  • New in v1.4: Color & Doodle: Include extra activity pages such as coloring pages, activity sheets, or mazes. (name them activity1.jpg, activity2.jpg, activity3.jpg, etc). Users can doodle and color the pages, then save, share via email, or print wirelessly via AirPrint.

New in v1.5:

  • Added option for background music. Added support for 4" Retina display (iPhone 5 and new iPod touch).

Please note: As this project supports iPhone 5, the latest Xcode (version 4.5) with the iOS 6.0 SDK is required, you can download Xcode free from the Mac App Store. This project will not work with older versions of Xcode.

Testimonials

"Not only has Chris developed an extremely helpful template for publishers but his help and support have been invaluable. The Story Book project has been easy to learn and allowed me to get my book published." Tayllor Johnson

"THANK YOU! Can't believe it. This is exactly the solution we needed, as learning to program was killing us" Jeremy Burtenshaw

"Just wanted to say thanks, its a great project. I'd been quoted £550 for someone to build the app for me. Now for less than that I've bought a Mac, joined Apple's developer program, bought your code and submitted the app. I can obviously carry on making more apps now too." Gary Solomon

    Hi there,

    I assume that I would be able to add iAds to the app?

    Thanks.
    • Chris Mayer Developer 1 week ago
      Yes absolutely. Full source code is available to edit so that any additional frameworks can be integrated in the usual way.

    Could someone help me understand the difference between Single App license versus an Unlimited App license?
    Thanks!
    • Chris Mayer Developer 3 weeks ago
      With the Single App License you may use this code to create an app for the App Store. With the Unlimited App License you may use this code to create more than one app - for example if you have a series of books, or if you wish to publish separate localized versions of your app in different countries.
