I feel as if I put a bad rating I’d be insulting the masterpiece of King Lear as a play, there isn’t anything wrong with app, no problems, but I ask myself am I rating King Lear or the app, so both the app and play are great, five stars.

The text in this version is completely different than my book and other apps I''ve used. Not only is the text different, the characters aren't even named the same.
