“As someone coming from the wrong side of the two cultures, Eliot's poem had effectively been closed off to me for decades. Now it isn't, and that in itself would almost justify the price of the iPad that made it possible.”
-The Guardian, UK, John Naughton
------------
The Waste Land is published jointly by Faber and Faber and RGB. Faber is the London publisher where Eliot himself worked for almost four decades; RGB is behind other revolutionary interactive books for iPad including The Elements and Solar System which are defining the future of publishing. The interviews and Fiona Shaw's performance are specially filmed by Adam Low, director of the BBC Arena documentary on Eliot.
Publication of The Waste Land in 1922 was a milestone in the literary history of the 20th Century. This edition carries forward Eliot's vision and vividly demonstrates how literature can be illuminated by the new digital medium.

The Psalm,
Well Produced
I haven't read the Waste Land in twenty years and this was a very pleasing way to get re-introduced to a poem I recalled with ambivalence. The material is well selected to provide a backdrop, the commentary videos were largely well selected - they may not impart deep secrets, but perhaps more a flavor of the impact Eliot's poem has had on the commenters. More than anything, the material does not interfere with the poem itself, it stays neatly in the background. The readings were well selected; different sections of the poem benefit from the strength brought by the various performers. Eliot's own narration may not be the one you like best, but it gives a great baseline for the "pace" of the poem. I spent about six hours with Eliot over the weekend and do not regret a moment.

Interactive Notes Inaccurate to Touch
When you touch on a highlighted part, the note does not pop up. You have to touch around the highlighted part—left, right, above, below and everywhere in between—to get the note to pop up. Very frustrating! Sent a support note to the devs. Let’s see whether and how soon they will fix it.
iPad OS 16.3.1; iPad Air 5th gen.
Other than the “Perspectives” section, the content seems to be OK.

A Model For Presenting Literature
This app offers a model for presenting literary works in all their richness on a mobile device. I love the readings by several actors, and the scholarly interpretations deepen our appreciation.
Touch press has shown us what can be done, both with this app and the one on Shakespeare's sonnets. I have been waiting, waiting, waiting, wandering through the vast waste land of the App Store looking for more apps that illuminate and present literary works in this way. Please, I will buy them.

Superb
Saw this app featured in The Guardian with video. Downloaded it and found it provides a fresh and breathtaking experience with a poem that I first read in college (about 50 years ago) and have perused from time to time after that. This app makes for an electrifying reacquaintance with a long-lost fascinating friend. The performance of the poem by Fiona Shaw is terrific, and makes Eliot's work appear in new perspectives. I look forward to more apps of this type.

A revolutionary app for a revolutionary poem
The Waste Land revolutionized the world of English poetry. And this app is a revolutionary literary experience. What is so exciting is the way in which this app uses the technology of the iPad to enhance our experience of literature. The videos, readings, manuscripts, and notes are incredible!
My only regret is that this wasn't around when I was studying the Waste Land in college! It would've been a dream come true.
Bravo, Touch Press!

FredCamp,
Wish I'd had this app when I was writing my thesis!
But I wrote my thesis nearly twenty years ago. The presentation of Eliot!'s poem in this app is alone well worth the price. The scholarship included is also first rate. So many options that help you read the poem without force-feeding you any one interpretation. It's a great way to enjoy Eliot's language and imagery and to draw your own conclusions.

Minus * for $
I absolutely love this basic concept regarding digital media/eBook/iBook but find the price point out of balance with actually content which is in fact ONE POEM. Sure they went all out with supporting materials but it's still just one poem, and i am loathe to imagine what a full volume of poems would cost or if it would even fit on my iPad 32GB. I would pursue more of such volumes only if the price were to come down to around $5 a piece.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
This is indeed a wonderful app, and a good developer. When I first downloaded the app, I couldn't get the audio to work, and wrote for help. The developers worked with me through several problem-solving e-mails and got it to work. It is worth the price, and I believe it sets a new standard for e-books.
@SongDuck,
An App that shows the potential of an iPad experience
This app is truly an interactive experience, allowing the user to explore The Waste Land in all it's nuances. Readings, notes, video performance, photographs are all part of one's journey of discovery. The app uses the iPad to its fullest capacity. Well worth the price and simply brilliant. I look forward to more from Touch Press.
Greatgrandma,
Outstanding
I, like another reviewer, read the poem about 50 years ago. While I enjoyed it then, I certainly did not get as much from it as I have in the few days I've had this app on my ipad. Fiona Shaw's performance is remarkable. Please, please, please -- more of these difficult classics.
