Idea fantastic, overall lacks some key things
I love the idea of this app considering I'm in AP English. I believe this would be a perfect studying app BUT it lacks a lot of details. Most of the definitions are quick descriptions and most of the vocabulary terms in here lack examples, detail, and etc which is provided in a few of the terms. Please update this app with more information!:)
Overall this app is worth the money to get a quick look through to freshen up your mind or if you don't need to completely understand the terms.

I am running iOS 8.4 on an iPad Air. Your app, Literary Analysis Guide, keeps freezing. I have the paid version. Please fix.
Get this guide!
This is a complete guide that you will use often. If you are a literature teacher or a student in a literature class you will absolutely love this app.
A Great Resource Teachers and Students Alike
“Lit Analysis 2” is a reference guide for understanding the various elements of literature in poetry, prose, rhetoric and other related literary devices such as figures of speech. The app includes definitions, examples, paragraphs that show examples of analysis of poems that express those literary devices, as well as important questions to ask yourself when analysing a work in regards to the particular literature device.
The app’s content is very comprehensive to the point that it would be useful for a literature analyst from the basics learned in middle and high school through college. Not only does it have visual representation for the big broad concepts, but it has a glossary full of very precise and obscure terms. Some of the terms could use more examples as most are limited to only two or three. In a few cases there is one, or even no examples, but those are rare. The content also seems to be aimed at late high school and beyond, which could make it pretty dense for younger students. It would be nice if they had some examples from texts that were easier for younger students to grasp. Having them alongside higher level examples might help with scaffolding as well.
The app is very useable, with a simple interface. The major terms are arrayed in a wheel shape around the central concept, which can help users visualize how the terms all contribute to the central concept. Once the user clicks on a concept they are taken to a fairly plain but well organized page with text under headings that can be collapsed and expanded. Its simplicity helps it run fairly smooth, and it would be difficult to be lost in the app.
The appearance of the app is very plain, which makes everything easy to read and see, but it also makes the experience a bit dull and lifeless. It is very clearly an academic tool, and it does nothing to give a more stylish or appealing experience while using the app.
I could easily see this app being used by students in writing and literature classes of all kinds using it to both analyse and produce literature. In many ways it does a good job of replacing many of the literature handbooks that would otherwise be the go-to tool. For ease and clarity of use and content alone, this would be a great app for student use in the classroom. I do wish, however, that it would be more appealing to younger students, with some text and examples aimed at their level. I give this app 4.5 stars. It is excellent, with some room for improvement.
