Chandamama iPhone app

Download  from app store here

Yesterday night I submitted an iOS app to Apple for approval, it’s first time ever I have experienced nerdgasm!
Chandamama is one of my favorite comic and I still read it when find old issues, I’m really excited to write an App for it. The first version has support for three languages that is Kannada, Hindi and English, it allows user to read Chandamama archives from 1949 which is exciting the best part is the will be available for free, yes you heard it correctly it is going to be FREE. Basically as C# developer I should live up to Microsoft in naming the product, so I named it “Chandamama Archive Reader”!
I have posted the screenshots of app just give sense of what we are going to get on iPhone/iPod.
The Home screen where you get select language.

Comic View, where we can navigate through pages by swiping on screen and you have option to use Next and Previous Button to navigate and Pinch in and out to zoom

When, you tap on Comic view it enters to full screen mode so you can continue reading comic without  any visual distractions. (I love these vintage ads on comic Smile with tongue out)

You possibly may think that App looks very boring, well, I have few tasks lined up for future release, as one of famous software quote “If always think of future, you never going to release V1.0” so that justifies everything.
If everything goes well it will be available in App store by end of October!
