  • Doesn’t live up to potential

    This is a very buggy app- for example, the quote of the day would be great if it worked, but half the time the widget where it is supposed to be displayed (outside the app itself) the just says there’s an error. And it would be nice if the quotes of the day were tailored to the actual day - as it is, you get really dark quotes on holidays etc.

  • I can’t read anything :(

    I’ve had this app for years now and use it as a reference all the time. As of late it’s been crashing. Every time I try to utilize it in some way, a few seconds pass and it boots me out. I love the app— I advertise it to anyone who loves Willy Shakes because of the quotes and it’s convenience, but now it’s practically useless. I don’t really know how to rate this, because the app itself deserves a 5 star, but the functionality is awful right now, so please fix or at least look into it!

  • Extremely disappointing

    So far I could say this is one of the worst application purchases I have ever made. I did a search on Soliloquy’s in Hamlet and came up with nothing. Changed into first folio and now no matter what I do start the program over etc. it is stuck on the old spelling. Text meaning does not work. So far the app does not do a single thing it says it does. Totally worthless. By the way I’m having these problems with the pro version.

  • Best Shakespeare App

    I use this App everyday. It’s easy to use and incredibly helpful.
  • Shakespeare

    In this “ Winter Of Our Discontent”, how cozy to cuddle up with a man whose observations and descriptions of the foibles of power console us with eternal verities while we wait for the boar to make his way to Bosworth Field.
  • Impossibly anti-intuitive

    The bookmarkings the thing, and the developers want to make certain that you never forget how “IPhonishly” counterintuitive the very large array of control settings are!

    It would be hopelessly absurd to have hoped for a simple checkmark system, or even an old cut and paste maneuver would be.

    Instead one has a variety of abstruse, imponderable settings without any guide or directives as to how to mark permanently or save passages.

    The App asks you incessantly to “Enable Quotes”. I can testify to the fact that 1,533 OK’s aten’t enough!

    In short, unless you enjoy Byzantine maze like skills with IPhone chicanery, SKIP THIS!

  • Amazing and well worth it

    By far the best Shakespeare app out there. Top quality editions, great glossary, and the First Folio included. I can also use it to take notes for school. Get it now!
  • Favorite app

    Thank you for creating
  • Brilliant classroom tool

    Works great in our theater class so students aren’t carrying books or papers around while reading. They’re already used to holding a smartphone or tablet easily anyway;) Thank you!
  • Great source

    Shakespeare Pro is an invaluable tool for those looking for to learn and utilize a hand-held reference for Shakespeare.
