The Waste Land

It's beautifully put together. Handy if you're studying this for English Literature.

Hubby liked the app, but the April update won't update. No response to my query about this from the developer. I notice it's come down in price a lot since I purchased it. Whats the point of updates if they won't update?

This app is brilliant and really brings to life one of the most important works of the early 20th Century. Fiona Shaw's performance is simply breathtaking and the extra material is truly fascinating! This app is worth every cent for the T.S. Eliot devotee!

There seems to be another bug. Downloaded it from the Apps Store onto my computer then synced with my iPad. The iPad icon said 'Waiting'. Eventually it began laboriously downloading straight onto my iPad - and being such a huge program it completely used up my monthly downloading limit. Naturally, I tried to reinstall the downloaded app from my computer to the iPad, but no dice. When $60 worth of downloading for this month had been sucked dry, the app was still only half downloaded onto my iPad. WHY WON'T THIS PROGRAM DOWNLOAD ONTO MY COMPUTER SO IT CAN THEN BE SYNCED WITH MY IPAD??? Several people, including the reviewer from the Guardian newspaper, had this same problem. Love TS Eliot but this is really pushing my loyalty.

This is an outstanding electronic book. It provides a depth of experience of one of the greatest poems of modern times that would simply not be possible in another medium. Well done.

This is a wonderful app, but there seems to be a bug. Once you start the video of Fiona Shaw's performance there is no way to stop it and return to the main menu.

When you touch on a highlighted part, the note does not pop up. You have to touch around the highlighted part—left, right, above, below and everywhere in between—to get the note to pop up. Very frustrating! Sent a support note to the devs. Let’s see whether and how soon they will fix it. iPad OS 16.3.1; iPad Air 5th gen. Other than the “Perspectives” section, the content seems to be OK.

Grateful for this. And would love to see more like it.

I have watched Fiona Shaw's performance at least a dozen times and am always floored.

This app offers a model for presenting literary works in all their richness on a mobile device. I love the readings by several actors, and the scholarly interpretations deepen our appreciation. Touch press has shown us what can be done, both with this app and the one on Shakespeare's sonnets. I have been waiting, waiting, waiting, wandering through the vast waste land of the App Store looking for more apps that illuminate and present literary works in this way. Please, I will buy them.
