Not worth 3 dollars             Not worth three dollars phantasmical

I love the idea of this app considering I m in AP English I believe this would be a perfect studying app BUT it lacks a lot of details Most of the definitions are quick descriptions and most of the vocabulary terms in here lack examples detail and etc which is provided in a few of the terms Please update this app with more information Overall this app is worth the money to get a quick look through to freshen up your mind or if you don t need to completely understand the terms             Idea fantastic overall lacks some key things bwite13

I am running iOS 8 4 on an iPad Air Your app Literary Analysis Guide keeps freezing I have the paid version Please fix             Freezes Urban Casey

This is a complete guide that you will use often If you are a literature teacher or a student in a literature class you will absolutely love this app                     Get this guide Stressed to the Max!

Lit Analysis 2 is a reference guide for understanding the various elements of literature in poetry prose rhetoric and other related literary devices such as figures of speech The app includes definitions examples paragraphs that show examples of analysis of poems that express those literary devices as well as important questions to ask yourself when analysing a work in regards to the particular literature device The app s content is very comprehensive to the point that it would be useful for a literature analyst from the basics learned in middle and high school through college Not only does it have visual representation for the big broad concepts but it has a glossary full of very precise and obscure terms Some of the terms could use more examples as most are limited to only two or three In a few cases there is one or even no examples but those are rare The content also seems to be aimed at late high school and beyond which could make it pretty dense for younger students It would be nice if they had some examples from texts that were easier for younger students to grasp Having them alongside higher level examples might help with scaffolding as well The app is very useable with a simple interface The major terms are arrayed in a wheel shape around the central concept which can help users visualize how the terms all contribute to the central concept Once the user clicks on a concept they are taken to a fairly plain but well organized page with text under headings that can be collapsed and expanded Its simplicity helps it run fairly smooth and it would be difficult to be lost in the app The appearance of the app is very plain which makes everything easy to read and see but it also makes the experience a bit dull and lifeless It is very clearly an academic tool and it does nothing to give a more stylish or appealing experience while using the app I could easily see this app being used by students in writing and literature classes of all kinds using it to both analyse and produce literature In many ways it does a good job of replacing many of the literature handbooks that would otherwise be the go to tool For ease and clarity of use and content alone this would be a great app for student use in the classroom I do wish however that it would be more appealing to younger students with some text and examples aimed at their level I give this app 4 5 stars It is excellent with some room for improvement                 A Great Resource Teachers and Students Alike TheRealDruidan

I recommend this app to my high school seniors with confidence in its reliability The examples of devices and prose treatment of literary ideas are especially helpful                     Excellent Resource J'accord

Everything you need in an organized manner for evaluation of literature                     English Teachers Best Friend Rose345678

I use it for homeschooling Makes it easy to come up with discussion questions for any type of literature I could also see it being useful for high school and up to prepare for a discussion or to brainstorm essay ideas The graphic design could use a little help I found a theme I liked but some of the color schemes are just awful                     Useful summary of literary elements Ze5

Never used to use this app I thought it was a waste of money Got updated and now I use it for my English class all the time Especially useful that it does not need Internet connection                     AMAZING UPDATE Our Jesus

This app is great and easy to use I love the theme style                     Great Omid202

This is a great study app for students                     Great App Amajamma

Great app for teaching Easy to access                     Great for Teachers Ldra24

This is a helpful compilation of concepts and terms characterizing poetry prose and rhetoric It instructs reminds and allows one what to consider when analyzing literature Overall a very good summary of the mechanics of literature The display windows are attractive and intuitive My hope is that future editions will have even more detail available For example the figures of speech section should include more such figures such as antithesis chiasmus antistrophe anaphora climax syllepsis etc Additional illustrative poems written in different meter also would be helpful Future editions might also benefit from some of Abraham Lincoln s extraordinarily effective passages as examples of effective persuasion A very good value                 Good general summaries pfwjr

for those who study literature this app comes in handy for giving them a supplementary knowledge needs update bug fixes and more useful content                     useful guide for literature students M.Shahnazari

Good layout excellent functionality Great buy                     Useful crisp app Al99977

This app has some great content but 3 99 seems a bit pricy Plus the rhetorical wheel needs work A large number of buttons don t work and one button opens the wrong section For one third of the app to not function properly I had to lower my rating quite a bit         A great start Jaclyn DeRose

Very easy to use and provides useful information at the touch of a finger                     Great App Crimson20

Not what I expected and definitely not worth 3 99     Don t buy Anhelo31

So far this is a great app It s really a comprehensive set of notes about literary analysis However in this app and the Writing Guide app whenever I close the app my changes to the font size and color are lost Other than that this app is very useful for teachers and students in English courses                     One Minor Problem CFerrians

And all in a format students will love to use                     Concise and Informative mobius1357

This is a terrific companion for teaching middle school literature J W                     Great Teaching Resource Ollie1218

I truly love this app and all of the apps put out by Gatsby Light They clearly have people working there who know their subject material                     Awesome app for teachers MFPM77

A well organized succinct summary of lit analysis terms and definitions presented in a convenient conceptual framework                     Well worth the price Brett Hoffman

I love this app All the information one needs for literary analysis is in one convenient location                     English teacher s dream Majorly Blessed

It s a decent little app but it definitely needs more content for those who ve advanced past high school English                 A simple app Eric8*3

Is great Needs more content                 Ur lawyer

Good for high schooler or early college             Mr Sxm123

I like this app it is really helpful but I think it needs improvements as well                     Student s review r.georgia

This is a great app for teachers I teach middle school English and I m always using this app                     Literary Tool Box Another Middle School Teacger

Very helpful                     Great tool for my literature studies Andey328

I love this app for my students I highly recommend it for English teachers                     Lit App 123YAZ

I recommend this for students of all ages I have taught at university and am now teaching at the seventh grade level and students appreciate the compact interface and concise definitions and examples                     A Great Teaching Tool ThreeYearsToGo

Excellent app for avid readers It s great for quick referencing when reading or writing Students and teachers alike will find it useful                     Literary Analysis App Stephanie Muller

I ve found this app very useful in improving my writing in general and helping me understand literary elements within my works and helped me see clearly why I might not have been earning the grades I ve desired but now obtain                     For students together 873 7171

The definitions examples and questions to ask are extremely helpful Very nice organization of the literary elements as well I agree with a former reviewer that it would be nice to be able to enlarge the text I would love to be able to project this for my students but the text would be hard to read Great purchase though                 Very helpful Mrs. Rit

For the reviewer who said this would be great for high school students I couldn t agree more I am a high school teacher and am working on my Master s in literature Not only is the interactive format great for high school students it is a useful app for me as a student when I do not feel like carrying my Bedford literary terms with me Of course it done not have everything but it is particularly useful just the same                     High school teacher JournalGirl1313

This is it Also great if your kids are in Highschool and you don t know it all Very well organized to boot                     If you want to study Lit Acephalic

As a previous review points out this app will not generate a font size large enough for my iPad VGA Promethean board One can barely read it from six feet away which renders it useless in the classroom as a tool for direct instruction Until text expansion is included in an update do not buy this for instructional purposes         Font size blows epic333

Excellent tool for helping study literature Recommended by my English professor I have a brother and sister in college as well that I have recommended this app to as well                     Great App Raiderrider

Nice to use while creating your scope and sequence                     Great tool Sidrok

I will recommend this app to my English students as long as it is free of ads It contains useful information in a clever and handy format                     Free app no ads uiojkl

Excellent review for studying literature highly recommended                     Awesome app Mikey1247

This is excellent for those whose life is filled with literature Valuable for writers poets and critical writer                     Outstanding tools Bookworm81151

I like the information and its organization but the font is too small It would be nice too be able to stretch and pinch to achieve a readable size for the information             Good info BUT TakenwithTeaching

We have been using this app in 7th grade classes to teach literary elements Many of the examples would be appropriate for high school too                     Great tool for the classroom Nancy Loves Raft

Very handy app                 Very handy jecpeanut

I have always had problems learning literary devices but this app makes it much easier                     It helps a lot in my AP English class KennyB44

As an English teacher I find it difficult to find info that s user friendly for my students This app is awesome especially for AP classes                     AP Lang teacher Rhetoric is life

After getting yelled at by my teacher this app helped me to get all her questions right in a couple of dats                     Awesome AerinAeria
