Looks beautiful, but flawed new translations!
These are new translations into English. While I would have preferred the translations I grew up reading, I can excuse replacing some phrases no longer in common use. I can even appreciate what I assume to be the restoration of words that may have been toned down for the sake of sensitivity in earlier editions. There are infrequent errors in grammar, though, that are a distraction when they arise. They bothered me much more when I first noticed them, and Ive rewritten this review to be less condemning.
With those grammar errors in mind Ill say this is a beautiful if slightly flawed app. The interface is handsome and straightforward. I patiently waited for English editions to be added. When they were I was irked that they were more expensive than the editions in other languages. Hoping for a discount for buying the entire collection, I waited for months. Titles were so slow to appear in English that I gave in and started to buy the volumes that were already available. The new books are certainly beautiful, and I love the idea of having them on my iPad. I guess I just wanted perfection for Tintin. It pains me to give the app less than 5 stars.
