"I was Kermit flail and Snoopy dance happy.Composer let me do 98% of what I wanted to do with the Bud app,and I didnt have to learn a new programming language"
•Heidi Barthiaume, Bud the Bunny featuring actress Clare Kramer

"One of the simplest,most elegant tools for rapid prototyping and graphic design on any platform,not just the iPad."
•John Mark Green, independent storyteller

"My dream of creating an animated,interactive storybook app was made possible by using the amazing Demibooks Composer Pro.Authoring directly on the iPad is easy,intuitive and fun! The powerful behaviours built into Composer Pro have helped me achieve marvellous effects and animations that have brought my story and characters to life.Composer Pro is the best option out there to create professional, high quality book apps. Composer Pro rocks!"
•Emily Connell,The Jumble Bugs Bloomie and the Birthday Blunder

"We approached Scholastic Australia,illustrator Bruce and author Rosie about creating My Mums the Best as an iPad app.We whipped up a prototype of the app to demonstrate our ideas and concept.Without Composer to demonstrate this I dont think we would have succeeded in convincing them,particularly as we didnt have a previous app in the stores"
