And if that isn’t ironic, I don’t know what is- ### 1/5 — Attention ! Ne fonctionne plus avec ios17 *2025-08-18* Ne fonctionne plus avec IOS 17 ### 5/5 — Fun!! *2025-05-18, version 4.7.2* Such a gorgeous and fun illustrated edition. It’s simply beautiful!! ### 4/5 — Great writer *2025-04-07, version 4.7.2* I adore Edgar Allan and his work! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-03-19, version 4.7.2* I’ve always loved Poe so this was a very cool app for me. I would recommend it for younger Poe fans because it is very interactive and exiting. ### 4/5 — Presque parfaite ! *2025-02-04* Superbe application pour entrer dans l’univers de l’auteur. En revanche, le son ne fonctionne pas du tout. C’est très dommage car cela gâche une partie de l’expérience ! 😔 ### 2/5 — Fantastic Idea *2024-11-18, version 4.7.2* It needs to be updated for modern devices. It’s not formatted correctly and not very responsive. ### 5/5 — Too much fun is barely enough *2024-06-20, version 4.7.2* I've been a fan of Poe’s since childhood, and have never tired of reading his works. This app brings another volume of creepy pleasure, with music, animations and sound effects. An addiction has started, with more opportunities to follow. Bravo to those who came up with the idea and those who executed it. 👏👏👏👏👏 ## Frequently asked questions about iPoe Vol. 1 ### What is iPoe Vol. 1 - Edgar Allan Poe? iPoe Vol. 1 - Edgar Allan Poe is an immersive digital application that brings a selection of Edgar Allan Poe's classic horror stories to life.
