## Shakespeare Pro Description
“It’s really great!”
—Kenneth Branagh, actor and director

“I can't remember a time it wasn't on my iPhone. So feature rich!"
—Stephen Fry, actor and writer

“‘The app’s the thing.’ Hamlet was almost right. Great to see Shakespeare Pro superplaying with Shakespeare’s plays.”
—David Crystal, linguist and author of Shakespeare's Words

“The Shakespeare Pro app is simply terrific and filled with loads of wonderful information!”
—Ken Ludwig, Tony and Olivier Award Winning Playwright

Shakespeare Pro® includes the complete works of Shakespeare (41 plays, 154 sonnets and 6 poems, including apocrypha) and search the concordance to find the exact word or phrase you’re looking for (with “relaxed” searching to find words close to your search term).

Shakespeare Pro is packed with these impressive features:

••• QUALITY TEXTS are a top priority and our team spent years compiling and editing the best references available. In the updated editions, the text is even more clear and each individual character is uniquely identified.

••• FIRST FOLIOS AND QUARTOS in original spelling show the works as they were originally published in Shakespeare’s time.

••• AN INTEGRATED GLOSSARY, based on the bestselling lexicon by David & Ben Crystal, Shakespeare’s Words™ is included. Simply tapping on a word will display its definition in context (not just a general definition). 

••• ADD YOUR OWN NOTES AND SHARE THEM with your students, classmates, friends, and colleagues. Organize your notes into notebooks for use in the classroom, theatre, or just to remember key facts. Then share them via email or AirDrop.

••• POWER SEARCH THE WORKS by customizing multiple parameters like gender, genre, work, language, line form, soliloquies, and more.

••• CUSTOMIZE YOUR READING EXPERIENCE by choosing from a variety of color themes, change the font family and size, display long or short character names, jump around to different scenes, and view line numbers (*read the note below about line numbering).

••• BOOKMARK YOUR FAVORITE PARTS in addition to remembering the last page you viewed. Even copy/paste that great line.

••• DETAILED SCENE BREAKDOWNS give you an overview of the scenes within each play, their locations, and the characters present in each.

••• CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS help you better understand the actions and motivations of every character—all 1,155 of them.

••• MODERN TRANSLATIONS and lexicons to help you better understand Elizabethan English (extra add-ons).

••• GET THE FACTS by reading up on Shakespeare’s life, view data and chronology about his works, and an overview of scansion terminology or rhetoric. Character Arc Visualizers show individual character arcs or allow for comparison of multiple characters.

••• SHAKE YOUR DEVICE for Shakespeare himself to display a random memorable quote or insult. Or get a new random quote every day.

••• BROWSE THE GALLERY of famous Shakespeare portraits.

••• TEACHER CURRICULUM makes it easy for teachers to introduce students to Shakespeare's works. 

••• COMPLETE APOCRYPHA is the most comprehensive breakdown of 14 plays Shakespeare may have had a hand in. 

••• BARDFIND™ is the easiest way to find a Shakespeare theatre or venue anywhere in the world.

These are just a few highlights of the great things in Shakespeare Pro. If you’re a student, professor, actor, or just plain love the Bard, this must-have app ensures you have the complete works at your fingertips.

## Shakespeare Pro Reviews in United States

### ***** "Problem"
This app is not opening on my device ? Crashing now ? Please help me?????
-- Rebeen Rafat, 2024-12-14

### ***** "Amazing App"
The detail and work that was done on this app is nothing short of exemplary. The option settings allow you to see line number, line types, tap for word definitions and glossary, and a ton more. You even get the option to see character summaries with each character line if you forget who is who. And not only can you turn on plan English translations for each line, you can control their opacity so as to not distract your eye from the original lines. I can’t say enough about this app, especially for those just getting into Shakespeare. A bit on the pricey side but definitely well worth it. Great job, people!
-- MalibuDar, 2024-11-11

### ***** "Great App, Responsive Developers"
I’ve used this app for years and it’s just so good. Great search capability, excellent fidelity to the texts. If I close it inadvertently, it opens at the last screen. Twice I raised issues with the developers and they were friendly, responsive and implemented changes/fixes quickly. Well worth the cost.
-- LexFortis, 2024-10-20

### ***** "Crash! (Fixed)"
Update appeared again. Install bug? No longer crashes when it opens on iPad or iPhone.
-- JTMaustin, 2024-07-22

### ***** "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. 😉
-- MarkRayKY, 2024-06-29

### ***** "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!
-- Clarkj11, 2024-05-25

### ***** "Plays"
Good
-- purcycat, 2023-11-28

### ***** "Great Shakespeare experience"
Have used the app for several years and it is easy to use, comprehensive and informative.
-- Canonade, 2023-09-25

### ***-- "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.
-- djl2, 2023-07-31

### ***** "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.
-- HapKlein, 2023-06-29
