This totally new app built for iPad, iPhone and iTouch includes a live-action 10 “appisode” comedy series with activities that allow you to become a part of the action. This is the story of five musically-talented teens who are brought together to become the world’s next big pop sensation. After each of the “appisodes”, the viewer is able to unlock activities to create their own original creations.
