The voice acting is much better than Librivox - the voice actors and actresses sound very natural and dignified, so I enjoyed listening to this app immensely. The audio is very clear, and the voice actors speak slowly with clear enunciation. They even have the option of listening to famous speeches from Shakespeare’s plays! So you can skip the parts you don’t like and listen to your favourite speeches from Shakespeare’s plays anytime. Thank you so much for this app! A must for any Shakespeare enthusiast. ### 1/5 — Porn app *2020-02-20* This is a porn app. All the links go to porn sites. ### 2/5 — American accent *2019-06-05, version 1.5* As an Englishman speaking the language with the correct pronunciation and nuances, I found the American accent to be lacking when it comes to Shakespeare. Additionally, Shakespeare was always presented by males - even for the female parts - so an American female narrator is effectively a double error. Sorry, not for me or any other Brit I suspect. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-04-28, version 1.5* This app is really good and I would recommend it to anyone the only bad news is I listend to mid summer nights dream act 1 and Iclicked on act 2 and it said I had to buy full library for it I checked the others it was exactly the same I had to pay but the good news is it’s only £4.99p for all of them so 5 stat ### 1/5 — Huh?? *2017-05-21, version 1.4* This appears to just be the free LibriVox podcasts slapped into an app. That's fine if the app is free but I wouldn't pay money for it ### 1/5 — Dook of West-MORE-Lund *2016-09-22, version 1.4* If you don't mind hearing the Bard's words spoken in an undisguised American accent, this is for you. ## Frequently asked questions about Shakespeare Audio Library ### Does Shakespeare Audio Library have ads?
