Disney Launches Storytelling App For IOS

Dsiney_Story_iPhone_appDisney Interactive has launched Story, a digital storytelling app for iPhone and iPod touch. Story turns pictures and video into shareable personal narratives.

Brooke Chaffin (Senior vice president, Disney Interactive Family):   When we become moms, our iPhone instantly becomes the go-to device to capture the spontaneous moments of family life. Before we know it, we have thousands of photos and videos on it. 

The Story app automatically finds the moments in the Photo Library on your iPhone or iPod touch, based on when and where your photos and videos were captured. Users can select a moment to share immediately, or personalize it with their own captions, pages of text, themes and layouts. All stories created are saved in the app and backed up in iCloud.

The Story App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch.
