App name: <\/strong>La Divina Commedia [appstore<\/a>]
\n Maker: <\/strong>Stefano Sanna<\/a>
\nCost:<\/strong> free
\nBugs: <\/strong> none found
\nQuirks: <\/strong>To navigate to a canto, you must scroll through the previous cantos; there’s no. Dante scholars often prefer to treat the first canto as introductory, and not part of the Purgatorio, making each canticle a neat 33 cantos. While scrolling follows iphone conventions, there is no scrolling; that limits the usability, especially if the font size doesn’t suit.
\nFeatures: <\/strong>A solid, free text of Dante’s famous work.
