Pros and cons of POETRY - The Poetry Foundation app for iPhone and iPad
POETRY - The Poetry Foundation app good for
Really well done app. Good choice of work and functions perfectly.
Great app : lots of poems, lots of authors. I would have liked a mini bio (just dates of birth and death and nationality) of the authors ...
This is beyond the dream
Of a poetry lover
It is no doubt about it
The future you dare not envisage
But nonetheless come true
Thank you!
i Love the idea to take my iphone and to sit down for a Moment to discover a new Poem which will brighten my Day! i wished that something similar would also exist in Germany since i am German and Love Rilke etc. / you guys did a Great Job ! thank you !!!
love 2 read new + known poetry over and over - great is also the listening tag of some of the lyrics - thanx! wish there would be some simular app 4 my country - Germany was known 4 great poets ...
Agreed pls update with new content and subjects. May I suggests seasons as that is particular to poetry.
Some bad moments
I used to love this app but now that Ive d/l it I cant see any poems (just blank white screens) after I click on a title. Also, all my favourites have been erased. Please fix!
I was hoping to find some poets like Bukowski on here but its mainly very mainstream poetry
Nice app with decently good selection of poems. There are some interface things Id complain about, but thats not what I want to focus on. My major problem with this is that it one day out of the blue just decided to wipe my favorites list of poems, some of which I had saved to reference for academic projects and now I have to find them all over again. Didnt even have it for that long. Would be nice if it worked.
I love this app so much!! But it keeps crashing, which is really annoying. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
App crashes every time you select a poet/poem after searching for one!
Dont even bother with this till the awol developers update their app.
