Dickens

None of the Dickens stories will play.

Increíble

Es totalmente recomendable. Los niños la disfrutan muchísimo.

A great deal of amusement.

I been reading these apps for a few days now and i having a blast of fun and surprisingly how well are these made.

Suspicious

These books are entertaining and well done, but unfortunately I have to give them a low rating due to the apps suspicious behavior. I have purchased all of the iclassics and found that they all immediately default to the 'on' position in cellular data and immediately use nearly a megabyte of data. Why a book would need to use any data at all is curious and that they use that much data is both odd and suspicious. I wrote to the company at the email posted on their website but received no response. I cannot recommend purchasing these books unless they stop this practice of sending whatever data they're gathering and using customers cellular data without permission.

Now THAT how you illustrate!..

It was VERY nice... I liked it very much! So much... life and color... Who knew Dickens could be so scary! I guess you should never judge one work by another, even if they do have the same author! The illustrations were also cool! I have only two things left to say:
1. There were a couple of mistakes in the text. I know that I may sound like a grumpy old professor, but grammar... well... it’s important!
2. I would advice you to make a collection of Christmas stories! You could put one story in each different
app! I really like Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and Hoffman’s “The Nutcracker”!

Great minds...

The talents of the designers of this and Dickens’ made an impressive work. I want to fill my iPad with many more, by him and other horror, sci-fi or other classics by this group of software people. Looking forward to more.

more! more!

Please more! The ability to be a part of the story is gift well received! Thanks to all involved in this project! I am definitely looking forward to more!

Who knew Dickens was that creepy?

This was a great collection. More in the vein of Poe or Lovecraft. I’m glad to have been introduced to this side of Dickens and highly recommend this app!!

Grammar and meaning

Are you dare? What does that mean? You need a better editorial. It should be: “Are you daring?” Or “Do you dare?”. Please hire someone who has graduated high school for your marketing.

Excelente

Una historia excelente, muy bien contada y animada, la musicalizacion es muy buena.

Dickens a Ghost Story

Excellently presented. Very creepy and visually displayed. Enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to more.

Nice

Nice app and fun!

iClassics are the best!!

I have all of the iClassics collections, Lovecraft, Poe... I have read some Dickens in the past, but not any of these short stories. The ambience, art, animation and sound effects of this app just make reading these stories really come alive.
I cannot recommend this series of apps more! They are fantastic!!

It's great but a waste of money

I love to read classics, and I understand a lot of work went into it. I love that this app gives the characters life as you read but there are only 4 short stories. I paid $2.99 to read 4 short stories in 5 minutes. If it was cheaper I wouldn't be upset. Just go buy the real books.

Fantastic!

Another winner! Can't wait for the next one!

Another winner!

I own all the iClassic stories for Poe, Lovecraft, and Dickens. Worth every penny and I will continue to buy the other collections.

Great art, fantastic ambiance and haunting music always make me come back when I need a bit of horror in my life.

Great!!

So much fun. Great illustrations and interactions. A must have if you're a fan of reading ghost stories.

A far cry from Tiny Tim,"God bless us, everyone."

These ghost stories are great. A haunting experience. The music and animations only add to the ambience.

As Oliver Twist asked, I repeat. "Can I have some more, Sir?"

Awesome

I've read Dickens larger works but not his short stories, what an awesome way to enjoy these.
He has lots of great works so keep them coming...how about a retell on A Christmas Story? I alway buy right away
