Storybook App Meta Morfoss
Our unique book app brings Peter Hacks' wonderful story "Meta Morfoss" to iPads and Android tablets. It is for lovers of literature from 8 to 108 years and is available in German, English and Russian.

Why would you support this project?

Our prototype is ready. Help and support us to produce our unique app for children! With your help we can have our "Meta Morfoss" app in the stores from mid-2014!
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
We will be able to pay the freelancers in our team – the illustrator, the UX/UI designer, the sound designer and the programmer. Some of the money will also go towards testing and preparing the launch in app stores.
