Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read your set text explained line-by-line with a panel of critics.

MEET THE CRITICS
Each critic reads the text in their own way. Turn them on or off as you read.
- The Gloss: hard words, names and references explained where they appear
- The Plot Explainer: what's happening, scene by scene
- The Close Reader: imagery, metaphor and word choice, traced across the text
- The Historian: what the text meant to its first audience
- The Psychoanalyst: what drives the characters beneath the surface
- The Tracer: sources, allusions and echoes of other works
...and more, depending on the book.
