Starting today, it’s easier than ever before to share
your love of comics with your kids via comiXology’s newly upgraded Comics4Kids
iOS app featuring “parent-friendly sync” among other major upgrades. Parents
that have an existing account on comiXology - the revolutionary digital comics
platform available across iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows 8 and the
Web - will find that only their kid friendly content syncs when they log in to
the Comics4Kids app.
In addition to “parent-friendly sync”, the new 3.1
version of the Comics4Kids app features better discoverability, CMX-HD
capability and an amazing arrary of kid friendly content like Adventure Time,
Archie, Garfield, Nancy Drew, Smurfs, Peanuts, Sabrina, Sonic, Simpsons Comics,
Young Justice, and many, many more. Major publishers represented include such
luminaries as ABRAMS ComicArts , Archaia Archie, Bongo, BOOM! Studios, Cartoon
Books, DC, Dynamite, IDW, Image Comics, MonkeyBrain, NBM, Oni Press, Papercutz
Red 5, Studio 407, Teshkeel, Th3rd World Studios, Titan, Top Shelf, and
Zenescope.
“ComiXology’s mission is to bring comics to everyone
everywhere and a big part of that is making sure kids have easy access to
comics. We needed a solution so parents could easily share comics with their
kids,” says comiXology co-founder and CEO David Steinberger. “This new
Comics4Kids app does that and more. Our “parent-friendly sync” puts comiXology
in the leadership position by giving parents control over what their kids read.
Combined with our 3.0 platform, this makes Comics4Kids the best digital comics
and graphic novel app for kids around!”
In addition to the unique “parent-friendly sync” feature,
the Comics4Kids iOS app upgrade brings the app into to parity with the rest of
the comiXology family of apps, delivering the same great shopping and reading
experience that comiXology is known for.
Users of the older version will find that the
Comics4Kids3.1 iOS app sports a sleek, new design and interface that enhances overall
stability and usability. The advanced UI enables a near instantaneous launch
dramatically cutting down the app’s load times, allowing kids to easily find
new content and start reading faster than ever before. In addition to the
overall re-design, the app now has new discoverability options, enhanced
feature spotlights, more categories for new content, series and storyline
listings, and CMX-HD resolution books for users of the new iPad.
To help better organize downloaded comics and graphic
novels, “Purchases” now has its own tab so users can always find their comics
for quick and easy download without cluttering their “My Comics” area.
Previous users of the Comics4Kids app will be happy to
know that while vast improvements have been made, the Comics4Kids app continues
to deliver the high quality comic reading experience customers have come to
expect from comiXology powered apps through the use of it’s patent-pending
Guided View™ Technology; that includes a wide
variety of reading options and settings, enabling users to set the speed of
transitions in addition to page orientations and much more.
