### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2014-05-20, version 1.2*

This is far superior to the e-book libretto’s I’ve seen. Putting a couple of the foreign language *first*, then immediately following it with the English translation makes so much more sense, and the continuous scrolling rather than flipping pages is helpful. It’s lacking one important feature: the ability to bookmark where you stopped so you can easily continue later. Such a feature would make this app 5-star-perfect!
