The app is free in the App Store, but only for 11 days which, since it was released on Sept. 1, 2011, would make the free period run just until the tenth anniversary of 9/11. After then, the price of the app will rise to $9.99.
The app is the brainchild of author / filmmaker Steven Rosenbaum. The app contains 400 high-resolution photographs, curated from Rosenbaum's collection of 22,000 images, taken from the day of the attacks until a few weeks ago. It also has 40 videos amounting to over an hour of video content, in total, including scenes from his award-winning documentary "7 Days in September."
The content will not be static, Rosenbaum said. "With more than 16 million iPads now in the hands of readers, it seemed like the right time to reinvent what a book could be. Now readers can immerse themselves in the story, find their own path, and know that there will be new material if they pick it up again in six months. As a New Yorker, I knew this was a story that the world was hungry to explore."
Rosembaum's company Magnify.net powers video curation for the app. TENDIGI developed the App with Rosenbaum and the Magnify.net team. Jeff Soto, head of TENDIGI, said, "As a designer who's been bridging the worlds of publishing, technology, and media, I looked that the material that Steven had gathered and saw an opportunity to give iPad readers a new way to immerse themselves in a emotionally rich story."
One of the earliest comments on the App Store regarding the app probably says it best: "This is a must have!!!!" Get it now, while it's free.
