My only few experiences have been with i-tunes, which I HATE with a passion. That being said, I have three apple products in my house. When my wife and daughter insisted on getting them (1 ipod touch and two iphones), I told them that they would be "their problem." They are feeling the pain of not getting free tech support from dad like they do on their computers. My buddy bought a Mac and it took him about 2 months before he realized I was serious when I told him he was on his own with it.

 Need your opinion(s) regarding Narratavius
Just downloaded Narratavius & bought chapter 1. It's fun  I died. A sword to the chest tends to do that. Must try again

 Re: Need your opinion(s) regarding Narratavius
Yeah, focus on a web-based version. From what I've seen of Narratavius it would work well in a simple HTML5 interface just as it is... then you could create portal apps for various platforms if you wished. Plus you could more easily offer functionality across devices, so Chad could go partway through a story on his first tablet, then realize he forgot to charge the thing and switch over to his second without missing a beat.

Other. The app is fine. It needs some wood behind the marketing arrow to increase adoption.

 Re: Need your opinion(s) regarding Narratavius
Narratavius being ported to either a web app or android platform. Just someplace where I could build and design games for my friends who don't have iphones.

It looks like people here want Android. Brand, since you're the meister of all that is brands... What marketing advice do you have?

 Re: Need your opinion(s) regarding Narratavius
I voted for web-based.
As a Blackberry owner, I feel horridly left out of the fun apps (like the Munchkin one) that only go to Android or iTunes markets. But I can play most web-based games on my phone with no problem... Star Pirates and Fallen London both work just fine on it.

This. I have a flip phone that's a replacement for another flip phone, so Iphone/Android/Blackberry aren't an option for me. Opening the app up to user created content could drastically increase the available stories (and help you get your foot in the door with the fan fiction crowd). You could have a user upvote rating system to help the better stories get more notice or maybe a contest to have a story featured as an official app story (Original stories only for the contest though in order to avoid copyright stuff).
