Their 4-year-old son (later diagnosed as dyslexic) is making slow progress with the school reading scheme.<\/p>\n<p>After many frustrating evenings it struck them - wouldn't it be better if they could <strong>make their own books about the very things he loves<\/strong>? Books about Star Wars, books about pets, books about family.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time an iPad enters the household and they wonder how do we get our kids <strong>as engaged with reading as they are with the iPad<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>All the pieces were in place....<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a few months and the app is nearly ready.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Dan has made a tool to create books with his kids. He also believes it could be an effective app for authors who want to self-publish their books. There could be a market for this.<\/p>\n<p><em>Whisper it quietly - it's not yet an educational app.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Roll on September 2011 and the app launches. From day one, teachers start using it in their classrooms, praising its simplicity and suggesting ways it could be improved.<\/p>\n<p>By day two Dan realises he's built an educational app! And we haven't looked back since.<\/p>\n<p>Book Creator has reached no.1 on the iTunes App Store in 90+ countries. Over 200 million ebooks have been created with our app worldwide. It's one of <em>the<\/em> essential apps for schools using iPads.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017 the app expanded further, launching out in the Chrome browser and finding a new audience among Chromebook schools and those not using iPads. The web version of Book Creator continues to grow and push the boundaries of creativity in technology.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our story.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-4\" class=\"x-section pd-lft pd-rt pd-btm\" style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 45px; background-color: #F1F1F1;\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><h2  class=\"h-custom-headline cs-ta-center h2\" ><span>Timeline<\/span><\/h2><div id=\"timeline\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p><div  class=\"x-visibility x-hidden-phone\" > <div id=\"x-content-band-1\" class=\"x-content-band bg-image man\" data-x-element=\"content_band\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;parallax&quot;:false}\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/x-home-5-bg-timeline-gray-right-comp.png); background-color: transparent;\"><div class=\"x-container max width\"><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2\" style=\"padding-right: 7%; padding-top:6%;\" ><strong>June 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5>My Story Book app in development<\/h5>\n<p>Dan Amos begins coding his first ever iPad app. Check out the sneak preview in this rare video from Dan - the app in development even before it had become \"Book Creator\". <\/div> <div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2 last\" style=\"padding-left: 7%;opacity: 0; transform: translate(45px, 0); transition-duration: 750ms;\" data-x-element=\"column\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;fade&quot;:true}\" data-fade=\"true\"> <div  class=\"x-video embed mtl with-container\" ><div class=\"x-video-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vVmgkfDI2os\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-content-band-2\" class=\"x-content-band bg-image man\" data-x-element=\"content_band\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;parallax&quot;:false}\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/x-home-5-bg-timeline-gray-left-comp.png); background-color: transparent;\"><div class=\"x-container max width\"> <div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2\" style=\"padding-right: 7%;opacity: 0; transform: translate(-45px, 0); transition-duration: 750ms;\" data-x-element=\"column\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;fade&quot;:true}\" data-fade=\"true\"> <div  class=\"x-video embed with-container\" ><div class=\"x-video-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hjyUkCaayJk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div> <\/div> <div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2 last\" style=\"padding-left: 7%;\" > <strong>15 Sept, 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mtn alignleft wp-image-9387\" src=\"http:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/book-creator-original-icon-150x150.png\" alt=\"Original Book Creator icon\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/book-creator-original-icon-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/book-creator-original-icon-100x99.png 100w, https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/book-creator-original-icon.png 173w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px\" \/>Book Creator launches on the App Store<\/h5>\n<p>After 6 months of development and beta testing, Dan was finally able to release Book Creator v1.5 to the App Store.
