News: Narr8 brings motion comics to Windows 8 store as well as iPad
Motion comics publishers Narr8 announces today the introduction of the Narr8 app in the Windows Store for Windows 8 devices. Already a firm favourite on the iPad with great digital comic titles like Subject 9 and Prime Blood, this will continue to expand their fan base by releasing its motion comics, interactive novels and nonfiction series to Windows users.
Originally launched on iPad and ranked No. 1 in the ‘Free Entertainment Apps’ section of Apple’s App Store, Narr8 received 4.5 out of 5 stars on Google Play upon its Feb. 2013 launch for Android devices, and available on Amazon for Kindle Fires, rated 4 out of 5 stars. The mobile app is now available for Windows 8 devices, beginning with the release of its dynamic motion comics series, which are updated with fresh, original content weekly, bridging the gap between books and television by delivering updates in an engaging episodic format.
“Narr8 brings an innovative approach to motion comics, interactive novels and nonfiction series, providing an easy way to find and interact with unique and engaging content on Windows 8,” said John Richards, senior director of Windows App Marketing for Microsoft Corp.
“Windows 8 offers a single, fast and fluid user interface for tablets, laptops, and desktops, and an attractive, bright design, both of which prompted Narr8 to release an app for Windows 8. Since Microsoft is so open to new app developers who can bring even more attractive features to their users, Windows seemed like a perfect fit for Narr8‘s‘s next platform. Windows 8 is focused on personalization and flexibility, which are both important features for an interactive mobile app like ours,” said Alexandr Vashchenko, President and founder of Narr8.
