### 1/5 — DONT GET

*2014-11-25*

Holy crap! I got this as a study guide and it drove me crazy, 'Don Pedro's' voice was SOOOOO annoying, and they kept mis pronouncing words..... DONT GET READ ALONE!

### 5/5 — Not working

*2013-02-15*

Had a problem with the not being able to bring the audio bar back by tapping the screen but got a speedy response from developers once I emailed them. Turning my phone off and back on brought the bar back. Tapping some parts of screen still doesn't work but I noticed if you tap the gray words on the left side of the screen for some reason that works 100% of the time.

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful!!

*2012-07-08*

If you are studying the plays of Shakespeare you need an app by dodge point software! I only wish they had Henry IV and V as well!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-10-26*

Very helpful for understanding much ado about nothing. This app is excellent for anyone who wants to listen to the play and read the script at the same time. The script has helpful notes and the play is unabridged and well acted. It is helpful especially for audial learners.
