AppAdvice.com: “Sherlock: Interactive Adventure is unlike anything else youve seen on iOS, or perhaps on any digital platform for that matter”.
148apps.com: “SHERLOCK: Interactive Adventure is first and foremost a well told story, but those interactive elements ensure it sticks in the mind a lot more so than a regular e-book”.

AppPicker.com: “SHERLOCK: Interactive Adventure is so much more than a book, even though you can treat it like a book if you want to. Everything about this book is perfect, and the extra options and interactivity are so well-developed, that it didn’t feel like I was reading a book anymore. It truly is the next level of reading and where I expect all the books to be in the future”.

SHERLOCK: Interactive Adventure is an app that will make you look at interactive books in a whole new light.
Allow us to introduce you to “The Red-Headed League”, the first book in this brand new interactive series about the famous detective.
Read, listen, embark on a journey, conduct an investigation, and discover the world of the great detective Sherlock Holmes for yourself. There is more to this story than just words and pictures. In place of simple illustrations, 3D animated images adorn its pages. You are no longer looking on from the outside: you are directly involved in the events taking place, and see the world through the eyes of Dr Watson.
Can you remember your favourite book? What was it that you loved so much about it? It might have been the gripping plot, the amazing characters, the incredible atmosphere... When we read a book, we picture everything taking place in colourful images. Sometimes illustrations help to get our imagination going. We enjoy looking at them, but sometimes this is simply not enough. After all, an illustration in a book is no more than a keyhole that we can peek through in order to catch a glimpse of the imaginary world created by the author.
But have you ever wanted to look further through the keyhole and open that secret door? We bet you have... wouldn’t it be interesting to find yourself standing right next to your favourite character, and to be able to explore their world? To touch all the objects in the room, and have a good look at them?
When we created SHERLOCK: Interactive Adventure, we threw open the doors to the world of Victorian England, and we are delighted to be able to invite you in with us. We have lovingly recreated the interiors and street scenes of nineteenth-century London.
We have created the perfect combination of a classic book, an audio book, a film, a historical study, and an illustrated encyclopaedia, incorporating elements of gameplay.

Pros and cons of SHERLOCK MOVIEBOOK app for iPhone and iPad

SHERLOCK MOVIEBOOK app good for

I love the way you can look around the rooms, its like you are Sherlock Holmes
This is a great book/audio/interactive short story, hope the next one is one of the novels :)
Great experience. Brings back fond memories. Timeless classics adapted for the modern age. Please keep these coming !!
Lots of details! A fun, interactive book that allows you to look around the rooms, search for items for your collection, and teaches you about items used in that time era. The search is a challenge, so one can exercise the brain, not just sit and read a book. Especially, I appreciated the view of a busy London street with many carriages at once, not the usual one or two, helping me to get a better perspective of the scenes my ancestors saw every day out their windows, or when walking down the street to work or shops. Yes, I enjoyed this book experience. Whens the next one?
Very well done -- but dont mistake it for a game. Its an immersive book / short story, with high-quality audio features, mildly interactive scenes, and plenty of background information and historical lessons. And if thats what youre looking for, you wont be disappointed.
Its nice to see something created with love rather than just thinking about $. Nice job. Thank you.

Some bad moments

Im not a Sherlock fan so maybe I didnt get it but the game play was boring, sorry. It lost me after 5 minutes.
Story was to short for $2.99. 1/2 the story was told when you have to pay for the rest, not worth it.
Animation of a good quality, true to the 19th century style, gentle voice and nice soundtrack – everything’s excellent! It’s a real pleasure to become the part of the original story! You did a great job.
If you love the old tales and high definition fun then you will love this interactive game! I never had any problems with it and I was so happy that I didnt mind paying three dollars to get the paid version.
I read all Sherlock stories many years ago. And now i reread this stories with my little girl) She likes the way, developers give the articles. Amazing!
Cool style, cool design. And I also like stories about Sherlock !) 5 stars!))
