The Adventures of Tintin App Reviews

This app Design is very good. This app is available in English and its very good.

When is the English version out? Its nice to see it in French, but we English readers are waiting, and waiting...

I bought the entire set. Reading is easy on my iPad mini - I can zoom and rotate the picture to get the full impact of the artwork. Its great to have all the books with me all the time.

The app looks go... But they have promised the english version of the books for 2 years now and nothing

Cannot but latest update, The Crab with the Golden Claws. Keeps saying, "try again".

Im looking forward to the English version. As a Tintin lover, its good to have such a chance of reading it mobile!

Id have to say this is better than a Tintin book, which eventually gets smudges. No software problems so far, and a joy to read. Its also great to get the original French versions, if you want. Now if only the Asterix people would make a similar app...

These are new translations into English. While I would have preferred the translations I grew up reading, I can excuse replacing some phrases no longer in common use. I can even appreciate what I assume to be the restoration of words that may have been toned down for the sake of sensitivity in earlier editions. There are infrequent errors in grammar, though, that are a distraction when they arise. They bothered me much more when I first noticed them, and Ive rewritten this review to be less condemning. With those grammar errors in mind Ill say this is a beautiful if slightly flawed app. The interface is handsome and straightforward. I patiently waited for English editions to be added. When they were I was irked that they were more expensive than the editions in other languages. Hoping for a discount for buying the entire collection, I waited for months. Titles were so slow to appear in English that I gave in and started to buy the volumes that were already available. The new books are certainly beautiful, and I love the idea of having them on my iPad. I guess I just wanted perfection for Tintin. It pains me to give the app less than 5 stars.

Main reason - the text (English) has been significantly changed. I compared an old copy of Cigars of the Pharaoh with the new one that I had - almost every callout/dialog has been modified. Snowy doesnt say "I hope someone falls overboard" I guess thats too aggressive for todays day and age. The charm is lost. The charisma/personality is nullified. The English isnt nearly as good as it once was.

Excellent content! Reasonable cost for in-app purchases. If only there were English translations, Id buy every title in a heartbeat.

At first this app was working, but now every time i open a comic, nothing appears fix please

Après avoir acheté la collection complète des albums, lapplication plante à chaque fois que je lance lapplication. Fixez ce but, svp. Merci. After having bought the complete book collection, the app crashes every time I try to open it. Please fix this bug. Thanks!

Although the description says “Languages: French, Dutch, English (in English), the installed app on my iPhone says “English coming soon”.

So many good memories, and all in one convenient place… looks gorgeous on my iPad mini with Retina Display. I love the bookshelf with the figurines… please add more from different stories. I have purchased all the Tintin books and I am now about to purchase all the Jo, Zette, and Jocko books… please add Quick and Flupke books next! Note that there is a minor bug in the app… if you install it then purchase your first book, but Apple requires that you update your credit card in the process, you will be back to a state in the app where it thinks that you have yet to download the book, but when you do, it says that you already downloaded it… the workaround in to delete the app and reinstall it, and download all your books again. Besides that, the application is quasi perfect.

Cant wait for English language. More better with Indonesian translation ( in my dream ).

Why is this not available in English?

I bought 5 books then after the purchase realized its not in English. Very sad

Tintin is in French, which should be apparent if you look at the description which is in French and the pictures which are in French. Four bucks for each issue is a steal. Great way to keep up your French if you are just leaning the language. Probably not for beginners though. Very happy with this so far. English language may arrive sometime in 2015, if copyright issues get worked out. <-- from Tintin website.

Nice app. Which brings a lot of good memories , waited a lot for English version

I bought tintin in the Congo, and had no problem. So, I bought tintin in America and it wont download. Ive tried different networks and my data plan. As of now old Herge stole my money. Wheres Thompson and Thompson to fix this mess? Update its a week later Ive tried more networks, and still no download.
