English Idioms Illustrated

This beautifully-illustrated app from Professor Potts (aka Aidan Potts) explores the story behind more than 160 idioms from "Achilles' heel" to "Wrong side of bed", as well as explaining what they mean. The first 23 idioms are included for free and the rest are available for a few euros/dollars/pounds. You can download the app here, but first check out the Learn English Idioms microsite, where you can see a selection of the illustrated idioms.

COMMENT
The illustations look wonderful on the new iPad's retina display (sorry first and second generation iPad owners).
