Unique reading app. It’s a very different reading app. There is music and art. I thought the music would play as you read but it seemed you had to stop reading to play music? Maybe I was doing it wrong. It would take a while to learn how to use it. The titles are limited.

Too Far Media. I did enjoy the stories and the format, but would prefer it in portrait mode over landscape.

TooFar Media. While on vacation, I recently was searching for a new book to read online when I discovered the TooFar Media app by Rich Shapero on ITunes. I was very interested in the concept of combining a wok of fiction with both original music and original art for one completely immersive and interactive experience for the reader. This app did not disappoint my expectations. I easily downloaded and selected one of Rich Shapero’s fictional works, Wild Animus, on the TooFar Media app. Wild Animus is a colorful and brilliant complex description of one man’s journey to self- discovery by living and evolving into a primal form in the wilderness of Alaska. The story is beautifully written although it does not take a traditional route in the timeline for Sam, the main character. Mr. Shapero’s story is accompanied on the TooFar Media app by coordinating music, the majority of which was also created by Rich Shapero. In addition to both the story and music, artwork by Donald Pass is also included to complete the immersive experience. After reading Wild Animus, I will definitely use the app again to enjoy another one of Rich Shapero’s interactive literary experiences.

No music in the app.. I downloaded tonight expecting a book with art and music. I got a book and art but no music. When I go to the website, I can hear the music but not in the app. Help please. Else, I wil have to delete.

Book was good. Aside from the many grammatical errors, which bothered me horribly at the beginning, I really did enjoy this book. The book’s title also confused me, but I have to put that aside because the book wasn’t that bad. This book begins in a world of the future. I love a good sci-fi book, so I was pulled in immediately! Dorner is the main character and he is being haunted by a part of his own personality. Tongue is haunting him and he is now on a journey to find out why. Dorner has many important issues please in his community that he must keep up with though. One of those is to keep his community warm. In this society, global warming has been wreaking havoc on the whole world. Dorner is plagued by some of the memories of his past though. Known as a sex fiend is his younger years, he has vowed to remain celibate. He meets Rin who is a doctor who wants to find out who Tongue is and why he is plaguing Dorner. The book shares many sexual exploits and they are well written. I love the app and how it combines art, music, and literature to become an interactive app.

Intriguing Book. Rin, Tongue and Dorner is an interesting novel with many plot twists and turns. This interactive book accompanies text, songs and art to make the book truly captivating. I found myself drawn to the main character, Dorner, from the beginning of the novel. He seems to be a truly heroic figure in the community- a prime example of an optimal citizen. Throughout the book, we learn that he has many secrets and inner conflicts that influence his life. He is plagued with guilt, sexual frustration and anger as he battles his inner demon, Tongue. Tongue makes the book interesting; playing on natural emotions like jealousy, anger, intimacy and guilt. We see Dorner’s relationship with Tongue wax and wain throughout the story as his relationship and intimacy grow with his partner, Rin. It becomes clear that only one person is to be in Dorner’s life, and it will have to be either Rin or Tongue. This creates quite an interesting tale...

Not your standard book.. I like the mixture of media and the directions were very easy to understand.

The future of reading. I’ve actually always turned on certain music while reading certain books it was really exciting to put that in someone else’s hands. I got this book for free at the Texas book Festival and it was absolutely worth it I love all aspects of the app and book. And the person who thought it was going to be a choose your own adventure type of thing needs to go back to goosebumps... Keep up the great work

No sound and also I update my phone so no it’s not that. No mater how hard I tried, turned my phone all the way up, uninstall/ reinstall tried multiple books none of them worked so I just gave up I didn’t even read any of it is the main reason I wanted it was to try something new. Update then the developer says to update my phone from 9 lol who is still running 9 we are in the last part of the 14 updates. So no it’s not because I don’t update my phone that it doesn’t work. And if you are still running 9 on iOS you might want to up date when you don’t need to use your phone for awhile because updating from 9 to14 is going to take along time

It’s fun he got boring. This app is really good but I don’t like it just because it’s boring it used to be fun but it’s OK I recommended it

Nice Design and Content. I really enjoyed the app, nice content and design, there more work to do but it’s good so far

Great. Honestly It was so amazing I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Very interesting!. I don't know why someone would rate this less than 5 stars! About halfway through Rin Tongue and Dorner I found this app but I wish I had sooner. The art and interactive aspect is pretty cool and new, I think he's onto something here.

Book was very interesting. I’m not the biggest reading fan. But this book was a very good read. From the start I was hooked. The art the music just perfect.

Essential for Art Lovers. The writing is gorgeous, the music is haunting, and the artwork is really something to behold. This app is an absolute must for any art lovers who are looking for a memorable experience. It also is beyond simple to navigate, making all of this truly stress-free. Download this app; You won't regret it.

Love it. It took me a few tries to get into but I love the concept and Dorners character! I’ll definitely be reading them all.

Get Ready For A Wild Ride. From the very start I was intrigued. What was happening in Dorners dreams? But wait, are they even really dreams? He heard voices. Voices? Female voices. This book had my imagination in overdrive. Seduction and passion in way that I would have never imagined. Yet, it all made sense. Sort of. I had to keep reading. The futuristic world was almost unsettling. How could one be held responsible for controlling their body temperature and temperament in order for the community to survive? Imagine that. Insane. What I liked the best was the way the author was able to allow the reader to FEEL the conflict in both Dorner and Rin. Love, desire, shame, and even fear. How often do you meet someone that truly accepts you for who you really are? Encourages you to face your deepest daemons AND stands by your side through it all? Oh, Tongue was a beast. For both of them. This love story was a true work of science fiction with hints of compassion and loving. While reading this, I found myself rooting for both Rin and Dorn to work out BOTH of their pasts and live happily ever after. Do they? There was love, passion, violence, jealousy, pain, ohhh and FIRE. Take your time and take it ALL in. There’s a lot going on and when you take your time and feel the characters, it all makes sense and again, gets that imagination into overdrive. Nice job.

Loved this!. I thought it was really great! You should definitely check this out!!!

A new reading experience. I recently read “Balcony of Fog” and it was one of the most interesting experiences I’ve ever had. The immersion you feel when reading is something I find hard to explain with words. The incredible music, the art style, and all of the new things this experience adds to traditional reading, creates what I can only define as cinematic literature. The story itself was already gripping and wonderfully told, but I can’t say enough about immersion you feel while reading. It’s something that needs to be experienced and I highly recommend everyone to do so!

Great App. Great app makes reading enjoyable.

Great Experience. This should be the new way to read books!

Interesting Concept. I like the concept of using layers to tell different pieces of the story. I began reading parts of the books and I already noticed some typos. I don’t know how recently this app was release, but it needs more stories and more of a selection for users to choose from (a.k.a. Genres, subgroups, themes, etc). *Something to consider: possibly a VR layer with story video.

It was trash. There was way to many false words on the title does not work out and it really was boring and ya I would not recommend this it is a waste of storage don’t download 😒👎👎👎

Really great storytelling. Balcony of Fog is a truly unique experience. There are several options for reading this book. You can buy the Kindle version, a hardcover version, or there are versions available in the iTunes App Store and the Google Play store. The versions on iTunes and Google Play are where the really interesting experience really shines. You are able to read the book from the downloaded app just like you would any other book. However, the book is augmented by custom music and videos that add to the story and make it a lot more interactive than the average reading experience. The apps work well are are well-designed. The straight-up reading experience is not as nice as a book or even the Kindle app on the phone. But it is a reasonable experience and the additional features more than make up for the slight inconvenience. The story itself is well-written with characters that are not just placeholders on a page. The plot, characters, and setting all work together to make for a really fun, dystopian read. The author manages to merge a dystopian setting with a love story in interesting ways. Overall, I think this is a book that anyone who loves fiction should pick up. The interactive elements make for an engrossing experience that adds a lot to the story.

A Question Only, Music won’t play, No other way 2 ask help!. This is Not a review. Just downloaded and the app itself “looks” gorgeous and opened fine, however I can’t hear music- even with my iPad volume on high. What else can I try or check? As a compulsive reader, and artist, I find this idea and Mr. Shapero’s platform very intriguing! So I hope you can help, before I have to just delete.

Really strange book, Really Great App. Ok, I have to start this review by stating that this was the strangest book I have ever read but that kind of encouraged me to actually finish it. Wild Animus is basically about a recent college graduate who has decided to completely ignore anything to do with the real world. His heavy drug use, paranoia, and lack of close friends, send him on a path of self-destruction that is easy to see what the end will be. He connects with the wild and thinks he’s a ram while being chased by wolves, all while his girlfriend is working in a cafe in Alaska to support this super weird lifestyle of his. The book is written in the strangest way imaginable. Rich Shapero starts the book out by telling the complete ending. So, all the surprise is out of the box before you actually start the book. The rest of the book is just this crazy, forbidden adventure that draws the map to what you already know. The adjectives are literally piled upon each other, making this is a very hard book to read at times. Even through the difficulty of the book, it was still fascinating and absolutely interesting. I would be very interested to know how Rich Shapero is in real life. I couldn’t help but feel like this book was somehow, loosely based on his actual life, as strange as that may sound. It just seemed impossible someone could have this much knowledge about some of the issues mentioned unless they had lived that moment out themselves. Dive if you feel you’re up to it, but be prepared for the weirdest thing you’ve ever read. Now, that being said, reading the book in the interactive way that this app allowed was amazing!! I loved the music and pictures and I thought they all drastically improved this book than just reading it by itself. I like the idea of making the book come to life and I hope more books will take this route as well!

Pretty good. At first I was skeptical as I don’t download very many interactive books on the App Store. Besides a couple of freezes, moments where my phone lagged a bit, and grammatical errors, I very much enjoyed my experience.

Extremely cool app. This app takes reading to a whole new different level lots of cool effects and story’s

5 stars, great app. I’m not a big reader but this helps me get through a whole book, they have interesting books and you should try out the app. Good time guaranteed 👍

Couldn’t hear any music.. I found this idea very interesting and wanted to experience it. After downloading and opening it I kept waiting for music which never happened. It appeared that something was playing but there wasn’t any sound. Tried to find settings where I might turn on/off or adjust sound. Nothing. Tried several of the book entires and there still wasn’t any sound. I removed the app.

Great app!. Love the stories and experiences this app offers!

Interesting idea. Such an interesting concept. I look forward to reading all other books. Interface is actually presets intuitive. Easy to use, and the stories seem pretty decent.

Really good. I was iffy at first, I downloaded it through a tapjoy page to get coins for Topps Skate. I had to read two chapters, but I didn’t stop. I’ve really enjoyed it and do recommend.

Amazing story and very cool app. What a wonderful way to expand the imagination through words and enhanced with video and further information – all right the same app! I read the Balcony of Fog and found the story to be amazing – especially as it was enhanced by videos and sounds to place you at the heart of the plot and help you to understand what the characters might be going through as well as feeling physically. This interactive way of telling the story was the first time I have ever experienced reading a book this way and it was very cool. The plot opens to darkness and fear and the poetic and delightfully descriptive writing keeps you immersed in the story by being both tender and hard – even violent at times – and never letting you go. This is a story about love, fear, hope, jealousy, and rage all taking place between three people on two planes and in two states of existence. The notion that one can steer his own ship and shape his own destiny is one that runs through the book as is the notion that with great emotion comes great power and great weakness. Our main character, Arden, learns about these conditions as he escapes the bleak existence he was born into with a beautiful and mysterious woman to go live as vapor and energy in the sky on a cloud. Estra, the mystery woman has secrets that Arden only learns about after he has left everything he knows behind and followed her into her previous realm of the clouds. These characters are so well developed that the reader can’t help but churn with emotion as each page is turned and another layer is revealed. A wonderful book and total experience in this story and app!

amazing. i don’t usually rate or review anything but this app is just so phenomenal that i had to

Not even downloading. I see in reviews from December, people had issues opening this app. I can even open it. Fix the app and I’ll re rate... until then

An enjoyable excursion in words, art and music.. I’ve only delved into the story the app is named for, Too Far, it is a modern fairy tale in the vein of Neil Gaiman, it is well told, the accompanying map and music fit the whimsical and mysterious tone. Truth be told, I downloaded and checked out so I could enter for the iPad, bonus in that I actually am enjoying the app and the writing in particular. Thank you. Def will recommend.

Details failed the concept. Interesting concept. App was technically beautiful. But the developers reached beyond their abilities. First with the interface. The audio would jump like insufficient resources. It couldn’t play once the phone went to sleep. The music restarted from the beginning because there was no way to drag the music to a new point. The book also needed another round of editing. Grammatical errors frequent. Mistaken details such as referring to the colony as 5 acres when it must have been enormous. And for a science fiction dystopian future it still used yards and few as measurements. Really, advanced science without a metric future? The story had promise but overuse of metaphors interferes with comprehending the world. Science fiction really demands more science accuracy. The writing just wasn’t up to the story. Someone provided a huge amount of funding for a poor performance. My copy was being handed out for free probably because it wasn’t sellable beyond the visuals.

Thank you. I only download this so I could get among us mod so good great job 5stars

Growtopia. I was brought here from an 1568 gem offer and I think this app is really nice

A for Effort. As a very well-read individual, my opinion is that this guy deserves an A for effort! He has certainly given his all in his search for unusual adjectives and dramatic phrasing. In the end, I found his story lines not worth the effort of wading through thigh-deep literary defecation. I love the concept of this app, but was hugely dissappointed by its actual execution.

Good. Good stories that really put you in the stories and make you feel like you are experiencing it first hand

Discovered a great new Library of Fiction Writing. I downloaded this app because it sounded intriguing to have an author’s library of fiction in one place. I was interested enough by the first few paragraphs of Dissolve, and now I can’t put it down. I love how there’s other media to discover too, adding visual and audio to the written word of the story. Very cool!

Wonderful App w/Lots of Engaging and Wild Stories & Art. Just finished my fourth title in this app and just love how the novels have music and art animations underneath the book for you to discover. These elements really enhance the storytelling. Can’t recommend this app highly enough!

A Decent Idea. I found access to be simple, text easy to read, and decent variety of stories. There are quite a few spelling and grammatical errors that detract from the enjoyment; an editor (or at least a couple good voices for audio versions) is necessary.

Interesting idea. The concept of interactive fiction is an interesting one. When I first heard of this app, I almost expected it to be an adult version of a choose your own adventure novel, but that’s what this is. It’s more of a reading experience. The story is combined with music and art specifically chosen to go with the story. It’s a very interesting idea. Who doesn’t like to listen to music while reading? This way it’s not just random music you’re listening to, but something that compliments the story. There’s also art work that goes with the story. It’s not so much an interactive look, but a more immersive experience. The design of the app takes a minute to learn, but once you do it’s very easy to use. To read the story it’s a simple swipe left or right. But you can do other things like split the page in half so you can get a closer look at the music and art work. I’ve never tried to have that kind of experience and I like it a lot. So far the only story I’ve been able to read is Wild Animus, but it was enough to get me hooked. The story telling is great and really pulls you into the characters and action. Once you start reading, it’s hard to put down. I will say my only regret is this kind of thing isn’t available on a computer. I’m not usually a big fan of reading on my phone, but for this type of book, I’ll make an exception.

Awesome concept. This app is very easy to use and it’s a great tool to use whenever you need a good read to help get you through the day! Highly recommend!

Beautiful and spectacular. Hello, I’d like to know how the deer earned their antlers as it seems mysterious to me. I enjoy reading and seeing visuals from the author’s work.

Meh. It was ok, nothing special but still good. 10/10 would get if I didn’t already.

Great app. Love this app. Spend endless hours on it. It’s so me, it’s nearly perfect.

Excellent idea. Fantastic app - range of free novels and immersive stories

It’s a trap.. Was told to download this app on a college campus for a free cookie. We were misled into believing the author wrote dystopian sci-fi novels, in reality what I got was the authors sick twisted sexual fantasies and a sad cookie. P.S for those of you who are too polite to say no. This is a great lesson to learn about the consequences of your well mannered nature. Still wondering if this is a pyramid scheme.

I have never in my life seen an app like this one. It’s true

Missdvertised. I downloaded this via a Facebook ad for festivals and events. Not what I expected.

Enjoyable. Pretty interesting story, overall I am enjoying it.

?? Music won't play. What am I doing wrong???

Meh. I only downloaded this for robux

Good. Good

Trash. This app is dog

More content needed. Title explains it all

Just Bad. The videos are weird the books are all rip offs

nice. pleasant experience!

Immersive Story Experience Is Right. I enjoy this app so much. You get a story, music and art that work together to tell you the stories. Unlike any other app I've seen. Five stars!

no. idk lol

Immersive Experience!. I have only read one book, 'Too far', buts that's all I need to see that this is amazingly executed. The story was great as well as the music along the way. It made it feel like more than just a story. The artwork was also incredible! Anyone who loves art in all forms would love this App!

🤷‍♀️. No music! Great artwork

Tbh idk. So I just got this to get coins in a game.... so yeah ... k bye.

Wow it’s amazing!. Amazed by it!

Not what I expected.. I thought this would be like a choose your own adventure book, instead, it's a book with music. That's it. How anti climactic.

Great. Great app!

No sound. No sound, and yes, I checked my settings

How to get tonic. Go to rbx.place/rewards

Ok. Why u reading this

Not good. Had to DL it twice. Crashed both times. I’ll come back when it’s up and running.

Review: TooFar Media. TooFar Media is a platform that brings together Rich Shapero’s entire canon, combines it with a spectacular multimedia experience of art, music, video, and animation, and puts it all in the palm of your hand. It can truly be called a movable feast. The download from the app store was smooth, the navigation was intuitive, the animation and video engaging, and the artwork and music selections extraordinary. This app is packed with features any fan of Rich Shapero, or new reader for that matter, would appreciate: Q & A’s with Rich Shapero about each of the eight novels in the app, information about the animation, music, and its creators, bonus tracks, and videos; literally hours of entertainment at your fingertips. I hope to one day find the time to discover it all! You can access all eight Shapero novels on the go, escape into Rich’s intricate worlds, characters, and plots, immerse yourself in outstanding artwork from a variety of talented artists, well-executed animations/videos, and great music. After downloading and opening the application, Rich’s novel Dissolve is the first to choose. An animation of floating orbs, animated from original photography by Cameron Nelson of a rare, beautiful rock leads us to the beginning of the novel. Clicking the three horizontal line icon on the top right of the screen brings down a menu that contains a navigation screen unlocking a panoply of material: chapter navigation, a Q & A with the author about the book, the artwork and animation, and the music of Lhasa de Sela. Click Home and enter Rich’s next novel and accompanying insights, music and art. When you step into Rich Shapero’s world, you step into a world of more than words and into a realm of thoughts and ideas; multifaceted universes where Rich weaves substantive tales steeped in philosophical insights. TooFar Media is a great app, countless hours of entertainment, easy to use, and immensely enjoyable. Check it out.
