    I really enjoyed the music and illustrations for these classic Poe tales. One feature that would be nice is the ability to lower the volume of the music which was blaring much louder than the sound effects. I was about to give a 5-star review, then a pop-up asked me for a review with only two options, OK and OK. I have to subtract a star for that unfortunately.

    The very first thing to pop up when I open the app is a request for a review with the options of “OK” or “OK”. How the heck can I give this app a good review when it instantly removes me from the app and sends me to the review page before I’ve ever use the freaking app. Super annoyed!
  • Damned good app

    This app is really well-done, I really enjoy all of the hidden “Easter Egg” type of pop up features.. This is a very entertaining presentation of Poe’s works, which are well worth celebrating
  • Love Poe

    I had some glitches early on where it worked fine, then stopped, but after updates, working well again. I use this to help my children engage in these works from an amazing writer..
  • Distracting

    Clever little animations, but they are distracting and in some cases, causing nausea/motion sickness. Add an option to disable animations.
  • Flawed work of art

    The devs clearly love the material. The elements of sound design music and art design were all clearly doted upon. Why not 5 stars? Firstly, the assumption that there would be an option to have the book read to the user can’t be only my own. Yet, you still must do allthe reading in a time when audiobooks are closing in quickly on the print market. An interactive book- what does that sound like? Sure, some would prefer to “turn” the “pages” and read with their eyes but why not both things? Secondly, as one does read the old fashion words in the old fashion way, even the nerdiest bookworm will encounter a word in the text that is out of use and might as well be a foreign word. No way am I reading an immersive interactive book so I can look up the words in a dictionary or separate dictionary app. Why is there no ability to highlight words, therein providing a built in Apple dictionary to look up what Sagacity means? Or a glossary worth the option to have those archaic words highlighted? Otherwise, this is a very cool and unique upgrade on boring old kindle reading.
  • Crashes every time

    When I first got this app it was great. But for some reason, every time I open it, the app crashes. Can someone please explore me how to fix this?
