Pros and cons of Megillas Esther app for iPhone and iPad

Megillas Esther app good for

Great application, thank you very much, it helps me reading the meguila for my mother AT the hospital :) merci beaucoup and toda raba!!
Whata wonderful app. from a great developer who has a big heart. Looking forward to being in Shul with my i phone for the Megillah readings. Thank you Barry and to your team.
This is perfect. Exactly was I was looking for.. and its free. Thank you so much! :)
Excellent app! Enough said. Should be useful if I cant get my hands on a Megillah to follow whilst reading. Especially since Purim is tomorrow night!

Some bad moments

Great graphics, sounds. My husband says its missing a few notes, but that wont effect most people.
Im giving it 5 stars. However if you update it so that you can turn the trop and nikudos (vowels) off with one button, it would be a tremendous app for those learning to lain (read) the Megillah. I hope you consider this suggestion. Come to think of it, I dont think there is an app that does that. It might a good idea for you guys. A tikun korin app.
A beautiful ancient looking Megilla with built in grogger and machine gun to get Haman with! I really love this APP! Cant wait to wow em at Shul!
RustyBricks Jewish Apps for the iPhone have all been great, and this is no exception. Its free, its fun, and it arrived just in time for Purim. Great job guys!
