App of the Week - Book Creator

Looking for an easy way to publish books with your students, then you need to check out Book Creator for the iPad. http://www.redjumper.net/bookcreator/

Anyone who has worked with basic photo editing software will be comfortable with Book Creator’s UI. The app allows the user to add photos, text, and to change the background color on each page of the book.

Begin by taking the app’s tutorial, which is cleverly designed as a book. This short introduction to Book Creator allows the user to edit within the tutorial itself, so it’s easy become familiar with the application’s interface.

Add text by selecting the box marked with the upper and lowercase “T” in the upper right hand corner. After text is added the font, text size and color of the text can be changed. The background color can be changed in a similar manner. The app remembers both the last text setting and the last several colors used, which is helpful for maintaining uniformity throughout the book.

After you create your book on your iPad, you can read them in iBooks, send them to your friends, or submit them to the iBookstore. Ideal for children’s picture books, photo books, art books, cook books, manuals, textbooks, and the list goes on. I love this is app, it is worth the $4.99 it cost.
