POETRY - The Poetry Foundation App Reviews

I love this ap and highly recommend it. The spin option brings up new and old poems for different scenarios or times of life. Also like that you can save poems as favourites for rereading later. It has crashed a few times but nothing serious

Love this App! It could be called Idiots guide to poetry. Divers subjects including multitude human emotions are depicted by the hands of great poets and can be accessed at the flick of a finger! The App is fun and interactive, you can Spin the roulette wheel of poetry and discover new poetic subjects and new artists. If you dont like chance you can chose your own theme of poems to suit your mood or you can search up your favorite poets (even those you remember from highschool). After browsing around youll hit on subjects and new poets and want to save their works so you can read them later at different times (ex. as a stress relief during a 5 min break at work or Sunday morning sitting in the greenhouse). I gave this App a 4 out of 5 because examples of some notable American and International artists are not yet represented? Of course this might be do to proprietary laws? Too bad! There are other beautiful poets that deserve to be discovered. This tool can help! But its OK this App is a great start for discovery of an art form which has been around since ancient times.

Searching by last name crashes. Selections great though.

I love to read fiction, but have never been a fan of poetry. I thought I would try this app to broaden my literary horizons and Im so happy I did! Ive spent several pleasant hours browsing through the poems which can be ingeniously sorted with a "spin" feature, as well as the usual ways. There is an audio feature for many poems, which gives the poetry another interpretation. Highly recommend this app.

I love this app its very enlightening and as being a poet myself its great inspiration keep up the good work !

Awesome, easy to use app that will bring some fun and reflexion into ones life.

Poetry lovers will adore it, but the app has a lovely, simple UI that is a joy to use and explore. Very well done.

Excellent app. Does what it sets out to do: introduces poetry to a wider audience, with simplicity and elegance.

Its a great resource. Easy to use. Podcasts also available if you like this.

If I had the right words to express what a great companion, respectful of my moods, this app is, Id be a poet. But I am not the greatest at expressing my thoughts AND English isnt my first language so Ill simply go with this: I finally have a new travel companion who not only accepts casual daydreaming, but who also encourages it!

I could use a dozen superlatives to describe this app and I would not be exaggerating. This is just a phenomenal collection of poetry. Classics and modern ones together. Tagged for multiple categories. Its user interface is simple yet effective. The line breaks of some poems are not correct but that can be easily overlooked. Download and discover a joy.

Imagine an app that actually makes the world a more beautiful place. This app is so well and lovingly made, and a joy all around. A million thank yous for this. xx

Amazing collection of beautiful poems !!! This is the only app of this kind I have ever found.

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

Great app. Enjoyed it very much. Promises to fill my long bus rides with magical surprises!

A wonderful way To start the day.

Very clever app to discover another and very important part of our culture. Free, little, would be even better if it allow the user also to search for Italian poetry.

Really, just tap the spin button and prepare yourself for an endless journey into poetry.

Couldnt get text of poem into Facebook.
