Saturday, May 11, 2013 Ashley 3 Comments

Disney Interactive recently launched a digital storytelling app called Story. This app is for iPhone and iPod Touch (and also works on my iPad 3). If you are anything like me,then you probably have lots of pictures and videos on your phone! Disney Interactive has found the perfect solution with this app! Now, you can drop your pictures and videos into a pre-designed storyboard.

From what I’ve seen so far, this app is very easy to use. All you have to do is drop in your pictures/videos and text and the hard work is done for you. You can customize from 5 themes (modern, classic, story, fresh, and Mickey). Once you are finished, this app allows you to share your creation via email or Facebook. You can even embed your story on your blog or website!
