William Shatner is having a moment. A couple of years after CBS cancelled his Twitter-inspired “$#*! My Dad Says” comedy, Shatner is at the top of the tech world. Shatner, 81, is featured in Blindlight Apps “Shatoetry,” which catapulted to the top of the entertainment app list on iTunes last week on its first day of release.
The celebrity app allows users to choose from hundreds of words to arrange sentences, which Shatner will then recite in his trademark voice and style. There is also a mode that allows Shatner fans to collaborate on “Shatisms” and there are single-player challenges like creating Haiku and poetry. Shatner, who is currently touring the country with his critically acclaimed one-man Broadway show, “Shatner’s World,” says he thinks his new app has the potential to grow into a mega-app, with additional features added to the app as it continues to make the iRounds.
