The Long Shadow of Chernobyl iPad App Press

Update #12 · Feb 27, 2012 · comment

Dear Backers and Friends,

The launch of my iPad App, The Long Shadow of Chernobyl, generated great interest in the press and throughout the blogosphere.  I’d like to take a second today to share with you some of the press and reviews published so far, and encourage your feedback.  If you have downloaded the App, feel free to write a review on iTunes, and of course, you can send me a personal note through the email: info@longshadowofchernobyl.com
