User Reviews

Shakespeare Pro on Android offers rich Shakespeare content and useful features, with a reliable Pro version and strong search, but faces recurring issues around content quality, text interaction, platform parity with iOS, stability, and Android UX gaps like widgets and UI accessibility.

Pros

Comprehensive Shakespeare content with scene breakdowns, terminology/help (character names and glossaries) and overall breadth of material.
Long-standing Pro version that many users bought years ago and continue to rely on.
Strong search functionality that returns relevant results and aids locating passages.
Helpful for students, actors, and readers; widely regarded as a useful learning/reading tool.
Useful UI customization (color coding, background colors, line numbers) and presentation options.

Cons

Parts of plays are missing and there are wrong words with shoddy editing in places.
No copy/paste or text highlighting is available, limiting quoting and note-taking.
Android lags behind iOS in features (no modern translations/sonnets, parity issues).
Stability and performance issues (crashes/bugs, slow loading, OCR typos).
Android-specific UX gaps, including missing home screen widgets, top-bar UI problems and limited dark-mode options.

Recent reviews

A+++ Excellent and feature-rich compendium of the Bard's entire body of work. Plus, best-in-class highly individualized customer support! Highest recommendation!

I've used and liked this app for a long time, but the latest update introduced a few issues. Some features seem to have been moved behind a big paywall, and more importantly, "Venus and Adonis" is currently broken and won't open past the dedication. Leaving this feedback here in hopes the opening bug can be patched soon! Still a fan of the app's core mission.
