User Reviews

User reviews overwhelmingly praise Shakespeare Pro for its breadth and depth: a comprehensive, searchable library with glossaries, translations, character notes, and rich contextual data, plus portable access across iPhone and iPad. The app is often described as worth the price and supported by responsive developers. A minority cite annoyances: persistent prompts to review or upgrade, and occasional widget issues (offline status and a non-updating quote widget) that interrupt the workflow. Overall, it’s valued as a go-to, feature-rich Shakespeare resource with strong support.
Pros
  • Comprehensive Shakespeare resources: glossary, line-by-line translations, character bios, scene summaries, statistics, and annotated notes.
  • Excellent search and faithful rendering of the texts with high fidelity to original works.
  • Portable library: complete works on iPhone/iPad and usable offline for study anywhere.
  • Responsive customer support and quick fixes from the developers.
  • Great value for money: high-quality content and updates that justify the price.
Cons
  • Annoying prompts to rate/review and upsell; popups interrupt workflow.
  • Widget reliability issues: the internet/offline widget can display errors and the quote widget may stop updating.
