Features & Capabilities

Shakespeare has all the ingredients of a big budget movie—if you can understand him.

SwipeSpeare puts the words of the Bard into plain and simple English with a Swipe of a finger!

SwipeSpeare only shows you the modern text when you want to see it. Simply swipe your finger over the text, and the text will change; swipe it again and it will change back.

This app features: • FREE built in (and searchable) Shakespeare Dictionary • FREE Shakespeare biography • FREE "Swipeable" books available • Order print copies and ePubs of any play • Sync highlights, notes, and bookmarks across any device • Every Shakespeare play translated into modern English! (The original play is also included--you choose how you want to read it. Swipe your finger and you can easily toggle back and forth!) • Study Guides for every major play with more on the way • Lesson Plans for every major play with more on the way

We are already making lots of improvements to this app--both to the content / features and the UI; we are eager to receive any feedback about what you dislike about the app or what you would like to see in future updates.

User Reviews

Shakespeare SwipeSpeare is valued for its clean design, classroom usefulness, and dual-language reading with swipe/notes features. However, stability problems, unreliable purchases/restores, verification code failures for free access, weak support, and occasional missing content hinder the experience.
Pros
  • User-friendly design and intuitive interface with a clean presentation.
  • Useful for classrooms and students; a helpful learning resource.
  • Ability to view plays in both original Shakespearean text and modern English translations.
  • Swipe-based navigation along with notes and highlights enhances study.
  • Positive, enthusiastic sentiment and general usefulness mentioned by many users.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and stability issues; app often won't open or closes unexpectedly.
  • Content/purchases are not reliably accessible; purchases may be locked or not restoring on new devices.
  • Free version access relies on verification codes that are not delivered or do not work.
  • Poor or unavailable customer support/contact options.
  • Content omissions or inaccuracies (missing lines/paragraphs) affecting the texts.

In modern and original. There are missing parts , words at the end of paragraphs. I’m quoting this app

The app will not send me a confirmation code in order to get a free book. I have tried both of my emails multiple times and still nothing in either in boxes.

I purchased some guided and plays, but they are still locked! No way to view them. No support phone or contact. Total rip-off! Do not buy anything from this app!!!
