Pros and cons of iPoe Vol. 1 - Edgar Allan Poe app for iPhone and iPad

iPoe Vol. 1 - Edgar Allan Poe app good for

Great and wonderful apps. Really beautiful art matching the stories perfectly. Everyone who loves books and dreaming should try these apps from iClassic. Even people who dont love reading will find these apps entertaining. But be warned.... some stories from the "darker" apps will give you goose bumps and there are even shocking surprises.... If you are unsure.... there is even a free app where you can try it with selected stories. Im looking forward to the next great apps from this team and will definitely buy them.
Very enjoyable. Ill probably end-up purchasing all their books. These guys have made reading a new kind of fun.
Enjoyed the app and love to works by EAP, however there is little material to read for the price paid. The app brought to life each literary work to aid in a clearer understanding of his writing and word usage but not for the price of the app. I hope for more works than what is given.
This app is beyond perfect! It is so creative and makes literature more fun!!! I will Definitly be reading as much as I can from the iClassics!!!
I just read 3 Poe classics with my 12 year old! She would have never sat and read Poe on her own at this age. She was fascinated by the graphics as I read. Brilliant. I would love even more authors. How about some Shakespeare? Would John Steinbeck work? Im so glad to see Dickens. Oh Wuthering Heights! Great job.
This is so cool, and kind of creepy if you read it at night. Its a great way to become familiar with Edgar Allen Poe!

Some bad moments

I got it. Thanks. I paid for it. But why must I now look at a Kickstarter advertisement every time I open the app? Love the app but please dont keep advertising to me in this way.
