Excessively diverting!
This is a really well-designed app, the activities are fun, and I applaud the developer for the thought, planning, and work that went into creating it.
Dear Jane
A mobile app for Jane Austen lovers.
Dear Jane is a free Jane Austen quiz and trivia app for iOS and Android. Fifty Regency scandals. Fifty quizzes. From Pride and Prejudice to Persuasion.
Scandals
Judge first. Then guess who wrote it.
Confessions from Jane Austen’s novels, told as AITA (Am I The Asshole?) posts, from that corner of the internet where people confess social misdemeanours and ask strangers to judge.
Quizzes
Three kinds of Jane Austen quiz.
-
Personality
Which heroine, villain, friend, parent, sibling, or social disaster you are. Who would hate you, and which family would adopt you.
-
Knowledge
Ten trivia questions each. Guess the speaker, finish the quote, match the proposal, name the estate. Expert quizzes for all six novels, and harder ones on minor characters, house staff, and Austen’s own life.
-
Opinion
One question, no wrong answers. Best novel, finest hero, most insufferable character, would you have married Mr Collins, and the rest of the arguments that never die.
Your standing
Rise through the neighbourhood.
From a new arrival in Meryton to Austen aficionado. Track scandals completed, quizzes finished, and Society Honours earned for judgement, wit, and thorough reading.
From the assembly
The neighbourhood is unanimous.
Five stars on the App Store. Janeites, in their own words.
Clever little app
Good fun reacquainting oneself with these timeless characters and stories. A little step back into the 18th century
Engaging and fun
This really is a fun way to test one’s knowledge. I particularly like the quizzes about the ancillary characters, the ones only mentioned one or twice. Really enjoying it so far.
Most agreeable!
