60 Second Recap is a website that hosts video overviews of many classic book titles. Each title has a selection of 60 second videos explaining different parts of each book. Today, I learned that 60 Second Recap now has an iPhone app. The app itself is free to download and comes with three book overviews (30 videos in all) preloaded on it. Additional book overviews cost $.99.
You can read more about 60 Second Recap in my previous post about it.
