The Adventures of Tintin 12+

Awesome app, now with family sharing support!

One of the best apps and customer support I’ve ever experienced.

App itself was almost ideal, the only thing I was missing was ability to share albums I’ve purchased with my family. Which is why I was super pleased when they’ve added in-app purchase support as soon as iOS 14.2 was released in which this feature was added by Apple. Now, when I can share my albums with my kids, purchase definitely worth it and price/value is very very good.

All and all, highly recommend for anyone interested in owning Tintin digital albums collection!

Developer Response ,

Dear Yankan, with iOS 14.2 you can now share in-app purchases with your family. Only the complete collections for now. We will soon activate this feature for the albums.

Good but could be better.

PLEASE ADD ITALIAN!!!!!!!

It's great to have Tintin books available on your phone and sold for a reasonable price. The best thing is that buying the book in an additional language is only $1. So I'm now enjoying Tintin as I learn Dutch (and then French).

The not-so-bad thing is that I have to buy the book in English first. I am guessing that if my native language were French, I would have to buy that first before I could buy the English version. This isn't ideal, but it's not too bad. I already have all the books in English, in printed editions.

The really bad thing is that the electronic version of the book forces the reader to use the pagination from the paper version. It would make FAR more sense to have a frame-by-frame layout, where you could just keep advancing to the next frame. As it is, you must manually zoom in to read the frame, and manually zoom out to advance to the next page, and manually zoom in again...doing this over and over and over gets really tedious.

Also, there are a very limited number of languages, while (if I remember correctly) the paper version of Tintin might be nearly the world record holder for being translated into more languages than any other book. I expect this will change as they get more books scanned in, so I'm not too worried, but I would love to use Tintin to help me learn Italian, Serbian, and improve my Spanish and Portuguese.

Ahh..finally don’t have to carry my many, Tintin books to work

Just kidding, but really, on an iPad Pro (2019), the images are great. Thank goodness not in American English as some other would like. However when trying to read in landscape mode, the page isn’t mobile reactive (auto scale when the iPad is no its side vs. vertical). I’ll live with that, but needs an update. Beyond that awesome colors on retina screens.
