iPhone users can now get the newly updated Shakespeare version 1.2 from the Apple AppStore, with a plethora a new features, including new navigation and remembering last viewed page. The complete works of Shakespeare is literally at your fingertips and, best of all, it's free.

The best measure of success so far is the nearly 200,000 downloads from all over the world. iPod and iPhone users have consistently given the the highest ratings and tons of great feedback. Here are just a few of the press accolades:

FHM Magazine calls Shakespeare a top five application. (link)

BrightHub.com gives Shakespeare the thumbs up. (link)

Time Magazine's Jeremy Caplan mentions Shakespeare. (link)

What's next for the Shakespeare application? We're in constant development so keep checking back for new updates.

    Please add page flipping to this application. Would be much better.

    This App, it pulls my heart with such a force
    I fear it may yet tear it from my breast
    Each line, each word, all found in single source
    Each sweet embrace, each dagger's blow, each jest
    And yet I would one feature had it graced
    With full advantage of the three point o
    I yearn for operant powers of cut and paste
    That I, my microblog, might overflow
    I thus entreat thee humbly to confer
    This gift I'd treasure more than fragrant myrrh

    Yes reading the plays while listening to the Archangel audio versions is very satisfying. From the audio, I get the dramatic environment. Reading along in the text helps me catch unfamiliar words.

    I found the link to playshakespeare.com while browsing the application to increase the text size (large while reading in iPhone in landscape mode).

    Yes, but the plays have to be converted to XML first.

    I think this app is great and especially enjoy the new search engine and wonder if you can allow wild cards to be used with search in the future?

    I love the concept, and I love that it's free. I'm sure I will use this application constantly. One request / suggestion however: Would it be possible to add line numbers in the next update?

    Thanks!

    This is brilliant!

    I bought an iPhone last week. I already own a higher-capacity iPod, so I wasn't planning to use my iPhone's audio-playing capabilities.

    Then I found your Shakespeare app. And I remembered that I own the Archangel (unabridged) audio versions of the plays. So I loaded them and your app on my iPhone.

    This morning, I sat on the Subway listening to "Merchant of Venice" and reading along -- all on one little device.

    Amazing.
