After downloading and watching this application I found a very helpful piece for students who currently studying English literature and want to read the play and looking for characters or places in the play then you will found it easily in this application in scene breakdown. However, this application is only and all about William Shakespeare. Although, I searched everywhere but didn't find any application like this, so I'm requesting to dev about same application for all famous dramas.

It's all in there. If you enjoy Shakespeare, try this app. It's way easier that carrying a printed copy of the complete works.
★★★★★Howell Arnold· Feb 19, 2020
Very misleading. This app is represented as having a glossary. However, when trying to look up a word you are told that you must upgrade to pro version. P. S. I upgraded to pro version. It is worth much more than the $. 99 which I paid for. My thanks.

It was great before. I bought the upgraded version for $1, but now it's updated, and there is no way to get back my saved lines, my upgraded version, anything
★★☆☆☆Maxwell Bank· Oct 22, 2023
Bought the Pro version a few years ago, and it worked great for years. Sad to say, recently it has become quite buggy and prone to crashes. If these issues are ever fixed it will go back to being a five-star app.

iOS version is much, much better. Why don't you guys update the Android version 😤
★☆☆☆☆Henry Boyle· Jan 27, 2021
God, what a sorry excuse for an app. Came for the works, I was excited. I wanted to u lock some of the features, spent a solid coupke bucks unlocking them. It has been a full day and none of them have worked. Cryptic messages opening them, till with the buy now button. Inaccessible things that I bought. Went to the FAQ, that didn't work either. This app scammed me out of a couple dollars and is a waste of time.
