Shakespeare Pro

This app has been updated by Apple to prepare for watchOS 27 compatibility. No new features are included. We fixed a few small bugs and small improvements to make your Shakespearean life a little better. :) Did you catch the recent update? We made the historical editions (folios, quartos, octavos) the main focus, including: • NEW! Scroll sync: when using compare view to compare two editions, enabling sync now keeps the two views in sync to make comparing lines easier • NEW! Scene markers: most historical editions don't have act/scene divisions, but they now have markers where modern act/scene divisions are to help you navigate • NEW! Updated scene menu: historical editions now have full act/scene list for navigation (see the Help section to understand the format) • NEW! Compare view is now available on iPhone Pro Max (previously only available on iPad) • NEW! Characters are now categorized by major, supporting, etc. • Improved Mac experience • Improved overall legibility of the historical editions • Improvements to the Help section • Improvements to accessibility • Search optimizations for complex queries, new search scenes • Improved TEI compatibility • Small usability improvements and some bug squashing We've compiled some historical milestones for those interested: • October 2007: The Web version was created for the original iPhone which provided the complete works. • July 2008: Shakespeare 1.0 went live, one of only 500 apps on the Apple App Store when it launched.
