Shakespeare Pro Reviews
The perfect Shakespeare companion
When I studied Shakespeare in college, my textbook was the 1900-page Riverside Shakespeare. Now, I can carry Shakespeare in my pocket. This app contains all the plays (and other works), along with scene summaries, character bios, statistics, an integrated glossary, and even inline translations into modern English. (Some features are in-app purchases.) In my opinion, the only thing missing is a library of videos from the Royal Shakespeare Company or Shakespeare’s Globe. 😉
Incredible App and Amazing Service
This is one of the best apps of all time! It does everything well! Additionally, when I had a glitch when going from my iPad to my iPhone, they responded and helped me fix it within a couple of hours…on a Saturday…during a long weekend!! This is truly an outstanding app with tremendous customer support!
Plays
Good
Great Shakespeare experience
Have used the app for several years and it is easy to use, comprehensive and informative.
Get rid of the ai generated crap.
I won’t be using the app anymore. If you’re going to use ai generated content instead of using actual artists and content creating humans then you’ve lost the plot. The idea behind art is that it is a human expression, not a computer dictated piece of spittle.
Quick accurate access to Shakespeare
I am a long time student of Shakespeare’s and have invested in numerous forms of his works. But I find this irresistible multiple quick access to any play, or any poems and the thorough notes to be a marvelous and enjoyable format.
Bad app
I can’t understand it
Convenient and full of cool stuff!
I love having the Complete Works in my pocket!! There’s always occasion to look up a quote or figure out another meaning of a word or phrase and this app is the ultimate tool for that. The glossary is fantastic. The short list of facts at the beginning of the play is great subject matter for discussion or further exploration. And their customer support is excellent too if you ever have an issue. All so helpful to my work as a teacher and director! Thanks so much!!
Everything you will ever need
You will be hard pressed to think of anything you want to know about Shakespeare that isn’t included in this app. The store of knowledge is almost unfathomable. This will replace the 6-inch thick Riverside Shakespeare book that I have carried with me since college. Teachers, students, and theater fans will find a rich store of historical facts, analysis of scripts, and additional sources to pursue. But my favorite feature of all? Waking up to a new Shakespeare quote every morning.
