Love, time, beauty, are the themes of the Shakespeares sonnets. More accessible than the great dramas, these short, tender verses can help the modern reader to develop a richer understanding of the greatest writer in the English language, and provide a link to his more profound works, where he explores other, often darker, facets of human existence.

Awkward favorite implementation

Its ok, but the app is awkward to use. I particularly dislike how the app implements favorites -- its very non-intuitive. I select a passage as a favorite but there isnt a favorite button, so I have to scroll all the way to the top of the list to reach my favorites column. I also dislike having to read a passage at a time. The app doesnt scroll through all the sonnets, but forces you to read each one individually; you must switch back and forth to read all the way through.
