StoryPod Short Films
Android App Review by AndroidAppsReview.com

Before I took a turn in my career and starting writing Android app reviews, I once lived as a screenwriter. It wasn’t as glamorous as you might think, but you’d be safe in assuming I have a real passion for the short film genre—that being the form most easily accessible to the struggling director.

Over the years, I like to think I’ve integrated that love into the whole of Android Apps Review, which is why we as a group are so darn excited to be looking at StoryPod Short Films, from Blinkamovie Ltd., today. The app offers a phenomenal concept, combined with great content, an endless stream of materials, and a whole lot of promise.

For our full review, you need only to read down below the break!

Concept and Functionality 

The basic idea behind StoryPod looks something like this: Producers and directors submit their short film projects to StoryPod. The good folks behind the app then review the submission, and if it’s up to their standards, they pump it out onto their platform.

The end user then downloads the application for free, and can watch any published short film gratis to their heart’s content.

It’s a fun concept, and it really does work out for everyone. Obviously, StoryPod gets a lot of traffic from it, but as users, we also get a lot of really phenomenal films. Some of the best movies I’ve ever seen have been shorts—and I’ve seen a lot of movies.

Likewise, the teams behind the films get exposure for their films. They can choose to upload an entire short, or if it’s a portion of a larger film, just a snippet to hook interest during development. It’s a truly win-win situation, and we cannot get enough of it.

StoryPod Android App Review

Another notch in StoryPod’s favor is the fact that it looks so good. The UX is excellent, and is as easy to peruse as you might hope. In fact, we like the interface quite a bit more than we like more popular titles like YouTube.

We also greatly appreciated the quality of the content that’s kept here, as you’ll only not enjoy a film if its aesthetic just isn’t your thing. In other words, the content located here is on-par with what we’d expect from a serious short film collection. And that’s an unbelievably good thing.

Overall Value

Considering StoryPod is a free application with a quick install, offers a beautiful interface, and comes with a ton of incredible content, there’s really nothing to dislike here.

The app is a brilliant way to find new production houses to follow, new films to love, and new concepts to think about. If that doesn’t sound like a good afternoon out to you, then you might just be a boring person. Because StoryPod is a great addition to any Android device.
