  1. 5/5A must-have for every actor

    This app is priceless. If you ever work on Shakespeare, you'll come upon words for which you need to check -- or double-check --the pronunciation, and this app definitively provides not only the most common pronunciation, but also what other pronunciations that word might have, depending on the scansion of the line. A culmination of years of scholarship and then recording and development, the app is a tour-de-force in its comprehensiveness. Don't work on Shakespeare without it.

  2. 2/5Great app so far - UPDATED

    Update: Okay, I’m actually pretty disappointed. The audio pronunciations have NEVER worked for me. I gave this app five stars at first because I was able to use the written guides (though an IPA addition would be hugely helpful), and I just figured the bugs would be worked out later. I don’t know, maybe it works for other people? When I try to listen to a pronunciation, a “Please Wait” pops up, and then goes away, and then nothing. It’s been almost two years and I’ve changed phones in that time too, but it’s just never ever worked. ****** I've been looking forward to this app for a while and so far I LOVE IT. I can't wait to do more Shakespeare so I can really dive in. (I just did a staged reading of a compilation piece called Women of Shakespeare and we definitely could have used it.) My one complaint is that I downloaded it specifically for one word, and that one word is not listed. Someone please tell me how to pronounce drivest :(

  3. 5/5Fantastic

    The app is fantastic. Someone said they can’t hear it. Well, you have to have your volume turned on in order to hear it! The newest version is even better than the original. I use it all the time- in rehearsals and in class and preparing auditions.

  4. 5/5Super Helpful for Actors

    This app is super helpful for actors looking to broaden their palate and vocabulary for the words of Shakespeare. Let’s be honest, Shakespeare words can be tough to get into the body, what better way than to have a personal app, ON YOUR PHONE, to assist with how to say the words properly.! Super effective and helpful.! And comes in handy for those last minute auditions.

  5. 5/5Thank you!

    Speaking English as my second languague, I found very challenging learning texts from Shakespeare. Thanks to this app and magnificent work of Shane Ann everything seems so much easier. It is very easy to use and has been nothing but helpful. I can’t recommend it enough!
