Purchased book never received

I purchased an ePub book version but never received it. I went online and to the app to search for support options but didn’t find any. The app seems buggy
It did not work!

I tried to get the free version of Romeo and Juliet and it has you type your emails for a confirmation code but it never sent it! ?
So shines a good deed in a naughty world...

This app is simply amazing. Shakespeare can be baffling or (if you try to read all of the footnotes and annotations) tedious. But with Swipespeare, you can read the original text at an entertaining pace while checking the difficult passages (when you need to) with a quick swipe of the screen. I was an English major in college and have continued to read Shakespeare for years, but it has never been this entertaining to read The Bard.
App not working =/

It always glitches and shuts out of app a few seconds after I open it. Sometimes i get far enough to read a few lines of the play i want but then it shuts down. I really wish it worked because i like the app otherwise.
I adore this app!

It's so delightful to be reading the original Shakespeare, and then if I come across a difficult passage to simply swipe and instantly see the modern English for just that line! Also, unlike some of the "no fear" school texts, the modern English in THIS app actually captures the sense of the poetry in the "translated" passage. This is terrific, and well worth the money. :-)
It's ok

I wish we could see a side by side of the original and modern. Another problem is the lack of line numbers; when teaching it's hard to tell kids where we're talking about when there's no line numbers. There have been some misspellings in the version of Macbeth we are using. Overall it is ok, but I would love to see some improvements made.
Amazing ???

Sorry but...

Where is the modernized translation? The only reason I got this app was so that I would be able to understand the literary genius of A.D. times! I click on the story I want to read and it asks if I want original or modernized, and the old English version shows up- regardless to which one you choose.
