Nitrogen Studios Releases iPhone Version Of Storybook App Echo

nitrogen studiosVancouver’s Nitrogen Studios is proud to announce the release of the first iPhone app from its own preschool property, Kodee’s Canoe. “Echo” is a premium storybook app based in the beautiful Canadian wilderness, starring a young Spirit Bear named Kodee. The new app focuses on telling a kid friendly mystery story whilst taking a ‘soft science’ approach in providing educational content that is wrapped up in a very entertaining story and presented with beautifully rendered graphics.

With a unique and charming design, a focus on nature and learning to read, Kodee’s Canoe ‘Echo’ will keep children entertained for hours. Follow Kodee and Raccoon as they find themselves puzzled by the mysterious voices that are coming from a small island on the lake.

“Kodee is a fun loving Spirit Bear, who encourages playing outside, being active, exploring and problem solving,” says Nicole Stinn, CEO of Nitrogen Studios. “Young children, with their natural curiosity about the world, are enjoying exploring with Kodee, and we feel that a major part of the attraction lies in the stunning graphics. It’s a world in which the child is fully immersed and truly engaged in the story and the activities.”

There are a lot of apps and television shows in the pre-school marketplace, but very few have the sophisticated production values seen in animated movies geared toward the older child. It is not surprising that “Kodee’s Canoe – Echo” breaks the mould in this regard considering that it was conceived and created by Nicole Stinn and Greg Tiernan, the Producer and Director of one of the world’s most popular pre-school brands “Thomas & Friends”. A mega-star amongst the toddler brigade, Thomas the Tank Engine was transformed by the team at Nitrogen Studios from a charming but dated model train TV show to a slick CGI production.

Feature Highlights:

* Animated intro movie with soundtrack of “Kodee’s Canoe” theme
* Every beautiful page comes alive as the story unfolds
* Tap characters or parts of their environment
* Read the story with or without the narrator
* Explore the concept of echoes further with the free Echo Simulator companion app

Rated 4+, Kodee’s Canoe: Echo is $1.99 USD on iTunes and is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
