Ipad App Review #2

SparkNotes (Free)

I chose to review this app because I have actually used this website on the computer in the past. I was curious to see how this website had been turned into an app. Once I began exploring this app, I realized that while using this app offline, you were limited to only 50 pre-downloaded SparkNotes. If you decided you needed more than those pre-downloads, you would have to download them yourself. There were 6 different categories to choose from: literature, shakespeare, poetry, philosophy, drama, and short stories. If you use one of these categories, you will find an array of diferent literaries to examine. I think that this app can be beneficial in a future classroom because it will allow students to further explore different literary pieces to gain more knowledge after reading.
