Pretty Little Liars gets its own Episode in Pocket Gems’ hit storytelling app

Pretty Little Liars is debuting today on Pocket Gems’ Episode interactive storytelling mobile app. The app will give fans the chance to continue following their favorite characters from the Pretty Little Liars television show, even after it airs its final season in 2017.

San Francisco-based Pocket Gems launched its Episode mobile app in 2014, and now its 37,000 stories — which are akin to choice-driven digital comic books — have been viewed more than 2.2 billion times. It has become a new kind of medium on mobile, where fans can engage with it on a daily basis. That has spurred companies such as Warner Bros., which owns the Pretty Little Liars show, to join the Episode platform.
