I welcome all such apps. May I recommend a link to feedback to you the reactions of readers? Thus, any typos can be notified and requests for future inclusions too.
Great app.. only the app doesn't have daily notifications.. if you'd work on that that would be great.
Good app, covering poems from other languages would be welcome
The content is good BUT listing the poets by first name (not surname) is absurd.
Most of what anyone might need, poetry wise.
I give you a good idea vote because I love poetry and poems of any kind and thi is just my opinion other people might not agree but I don't want to be a perfect score because I have not read it but surely by Monday I will give you a real vote unless they shut down the account because they want to change the outcome sorry but ask them why me why me
Amazing app! Would love to see more poets
Some "&Amp;" in Tyger Tyger
First, I loved the app, thank you! But the main problem in the design is the bookmark star should fade at the bottom, otherwise it blocks the words. Fix that and you got five stars also where is wb yeats?????
Nice work guys; please add content from William Butler Yeats
There should be features like "Random" or "Poem of the Day".
Plz Add Edgar Austin's "Have you earned your tommorow" poetry!!
Great poetry is available with the latest version, but it would have been great if those could have arranged chronologically or alphabetically not the poets but their works. There is also a problem with WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS no poetry is their after opening it. I hope that's fixable because we admire him as last romanticist in English literature.
The banner ads are annoying. Since these poems are in the public domain, it seems mean to charge for the app. You should remove the ads without asking for payment.
Doesn't work offline on any of my devices even though I paid. Very frustrating because it's a good app.
It's a brilliant way of keeping on self mused with poetry...
Tried searching for poets but I end up with an ad
I am on this app almost every single day. Love it
I would like to watch more poems of Lord Byron...(many quality poems are missing in this update too)..And add some themes...this APP IS WORTHY for all... Thanks for Poems... Start an app For Prose such as short and famous essays....♥
They should place a risk of epileptic seizure on this app b because of the ad placement.
Literally ignore all the negative comments on here because if you love poetry then you will love this app regardless of the complaints over the MINISCULE AF ADS THAT WONT DISTRACT YOU AT ALL I PROMISE. I've had this app for over a year and its my favorite. I discovered my fav poet, Richard Aldington thru this bish- I HQVENT READ ALL OF THE POEMS BECAUSE THERE'S JUST WAY TOO MANY BUT SOME UPDATES ON MY BOI WOULD BE NICE, 5 stars
Nice but some of the most famous poems arent there. For example: do not go gentle into that good night.
The Yeats section is empty and all Plath's poems have been removed due to copyright(?) issues. But other than that I really enjoy it. Also kinda wish they'll add Auden's works here.
hats up this app i got all poems with my cellphone offline.i am writer, poet ,prof. it helps me lot.
It's a nice application, but there is no poem inside the title of WB Yeats archive. I would like to get it fixed.
As one egyptologist put it. "Poetry is perhaps the greatest forgotten treasure of ancient Egypt,". Some nice stanzas from ancient egyptian, Indian, Greek and Arabic poems and devotions would be quite a task but most definitely worth it! Fantastic app already though thanks.
