Ratings and Reviews
Great for language learners!
Spanish, German, English and French are the languages offered in the five classic books. These are some of the most popular stories. An incredible app except that it was never finished. Still it is quite useful and free with no commercials.
An amazing app
Very useable, even, surprisingly, on a relatively small phone screen. Genius features, hope it keeps developing! Would be worth paying for.
A very impressive application
A love the idea of reading a book in two languages and never thought that there would be any possibility to do it for free and here is Parallel books...
