If you have not read the story and the app is free, go ahead and read it. Otherwise, read it online for free. ### 4/5 — Short *2016-07-19, version 1.6* Well done but way to short. Would give a 5 if longer be r another chapter or two ### 5/5 — Very creative *2016-07-18, version 1.6* Short read but really worth it! Creative scenes and hidden objects add to the Story line. You won't be disappointed ### 5/5 — Wo *2016-07-18, version 1.6* WoooooW Amazing ### 5/5 — Une merveille. *2016-07-18, version 1.6* Cette application est une pure merveille, la façon interactive de la lecture mériterait d'être imité par d'autres éditeurs de livres numériques. ### 2/5 — Beautiful, but not an adventure game *2016-07-18, version 1.6* At first play I was stunned by the amazing detail of graphics and voice over. The dossier and collected items are exquisite in their detail and manipulability. Wow! But..... Then I proceeded to work through this "adventure". And that's when it disappointed. It's not a game or an adventure. Finding the items in the pictures with the magnifying glass is lame as they highlight in yellow and you come to realize there is absolutely no purpose to it. There is no "point" to this other than simply enjoy a digital book that adds an exercise of collecting things that just wastes your time. I guess it's all about expectations- this app should not be billed as a game or adventure but simply an elaborate digital book. ### 4/5 — Great Idea *2016-07-04, version 1.6* I am really enjoying this book but the music is so loud it's hard to hear the words. ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2016-06-28* please make more,i enjoyed this one thooroughly and just to experience it i read it every now and then!love the interactive stuff and the brilliant score,narration and artwork,keep it up,i want more please.. ### 5/5 — very artfully done *2016-05-26, version 1.6* Nice 3D illustrations, and many small clever touches. ### 5/5 — Terrific *2016-05-23, version 1.6* Simply A++ ### 5/5 — Amazing! More needed *2016-04-21, version 1.6* This is such a good way to tell a story, everything about it is awesome, I really would like more books tho, great job! ### 5/5 — This is incredibly creative! *2016-04-17, version 1.6* I have this version of the red headed league read by Simon Vance and have listened to it many times. This animated version was so enjoyable. Very creative and well executed. I too hope there are more stories to follow. ### 5/5 — Love These And WOULD LIKE MORE PLEASE ;) *2016-03-29, version 1.6* Absolutely love this cute Sherlock. Great animation to go with great Doyle story. Played twice so far and no doubt play again when the bug takes me .. We Need more like this please ..

Thank you. ### 5/5 — Please, please make more apps like this one! *2016-02-08* I will wait..... ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2016-01-18, version 1.6* This is just delightful -- beautiful graphics and of course excellent storytelling. ### 5/5 — Beautiful, great sound design! *2016-01-18, version 1.6* Stunning visuals, but the effort put into the sound design was some of the best I've heard. Really beautiful work! ### 5/5 — Great *2016-01-10, version 1.6* Very enjoyable ! Loved the music and visuals as well as the storyline! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-04-03, version 1.7* Very little to do as a game it’s basically an interactive book ### 1/5 — 为什么这么好的设置没有配音，演示上面有配音呀，请工作人员速联系 *2020-03-13* 没有配音 **Developer response:** You can listen to voice-over in the landscape mode only. If your concern was about sound please check if the silent mode is switched off on your device. The app is mute when the silent mode is activated. We hope that'll help. Enjoy the app! ### 1/5 — No sound and no product support *2016-01-04, version 1.6* I purchased Sherlock last week. After I installed it I found that there was no sound after I launched the program despite sound being set at the highest setting. I sent an email to their website the same day. As of January 4 I have not heard from them. ### 1/5 — Won't allow me to purchase full version *2015-04-12, version 1.5* Looks interesting, but there seems to be no way to purchase the full version. ### 1/5 — No sound *2015-03-02, version 1.5* Looks awesome but no sound. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — 한국어 자막이라도 없나요? *2015-02-27* 평소에 셜록홈즈좋아해서 깔아봤는데 언어가 영어랑 독일어 등등 유럽국가 언어밖게없네요.. 한국어 자막은 안해주시나요? 한국어자막이나 한국어 언어 넣어주세요. 영어못하는사람은 하지도 말라는건가ㅜㅜ ### 1/5 — Also have no sound *2015-01-13, version 1.5* No sound on my iPad. Demo for app has sound. No sound after buying & installing on iPad. Installed twice. Wrote to haab support, got no reply. Don't waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — No sound *2014-12-21, version 1.5* Looks cool but no sound on 6+ or ipad4 ### 1/5 — 骗钱的 *2014-10-02* 你下载是免费，等你打开游戏，任何关卡都不能玩儿，都的收费。游戏收费我不反对，你就直接标价格呗，何必弄得这么猥琐，真的是够了。。。 ### 1/5 — Wasted 20 minutes!!!! 😡😡😡 *2014-10-01, version 1.4* Read the first ten pages only to find out that in order to keep going you have to pay! I was looking forward to a new free game but that's not true! 😡😡 So irritating! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sherlock Holmes movie book *2020-04-13, version 1.7* Absolutely brilliant, the hound of the Baskervilles, and all the the other stories from the canon please. Just great. Back to Victorian London. ### 5/5 — More please! *2019-01-06, version 1.6* If you could make any literature works with such an awesome concept issue it would be something. My 💵 is ready! ### 5/5 — Make more!!! Make all of them!! *2017-10-18, version 1.6* I would literally LOVE to read all of Sherlock's mysteries this way!! Make the rest of them! ### 5/5 — Incredible !! *2016-11-02, version 1.6* Hope to see more !! ### 5/5 — Quite extraordinary, my dear Watson. *2016-10-28, version 1.6* A wonderful and engaging new way to experience this story. It has been constructed with care, intelligence and a desire for authenticity which allows for complete immersion. I have read the story several times over the years in its original form, and it was brought to life again for me in a way that I had not anticipated was possible. Whilst progressing through the story, I found myself smiling regularly at the little details and clever touches. The sad thing is that such a gem as this lies embedded and undiscovered amongst the hundreds of cash-in and rip-off low quality apps that demean the Sherlock Holmes label. Please buy it. We need more from this studio. ### 5/5 — Very Professional Production *2016-08-04, version 1.6* Excellent narration and music throughout, on top of wonderfully done graphic content. Top notch production across the board. Well done Devs! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2016-07-27, version 1.6* This is absolutely spectacular. You will definitely be impressed. How an e-book should be. I will gladly buy future issues. Maybe they could do the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy next? ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2016-07-24, version 1.6* This was so enjoyable. Please do more. A wonderful enjoyable relaxing interactive story! ### 5/5 — Beautifully done *2016-07-20, version 1.6* Everything about this app/book is beautiful - the art, music, sound, narration, and interactive elements - especially the more unique ones such as the scenes that are drawn out as you flick through them or the climactic scene with the camera revolving around the action. This is how "books on tape" should be! To anyone crying disappointment in this not being a game/adventure... really? It's described as an interactive adventure, and that's what it is. Sherlock Holmes stories are adventures, and this is certainly interactive. Are the items relatively easy to find? Yes, but that's not the point - they're simply there to read about in the collection screen - extra bits of history and interest related to the story and characters. Don't rate it poorly just because it doesn't meet YOUR ridiculous expectations! Rate it based on what it is! 🙄 ### 5/5 — Very good *2016-07-18, version 1.6* This is a sort of spoken book with animation and is very well done. The graphics are superb. The app does not have that much replay-ability but I really did enjoy it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
