“I recently purchased my first iPhone and instantly fell in love with it” said Gregg Levine, founder of 288 Vroom LLC. “As a avid reader, I searched the app store for good reading material for when I was ‘mobile’. While I found plenty of book apps to choose from and many relatively inexpensive ones, most were either just a single story or a small collection of stories. So in order to have a large collection of stories on my iPhone, I would have had to pay for a bunch of apps and eventually I would have run out of space on my phone. So I decided to create an app that was inexpensive, attractively designed, and most importantly had a large collection of stories without taking up too much memory on the phone. From this idea came 301+ Short Stories. I hope the users of this app enjoy it as much as I do.”
