I used to play this sort of game with magnetic words, before somebody put them away someplace obscure. My sister wrote an epic with them. Anyway, fun and challenging, especially when the theme is set before the words are.Only complaint - the ten custom words, I thought, were per poem, but are in fact for eternity. I burned four in one masterpiece. So I'll be custom-word-less now, because I'm cheap and would never use refills if I spent money on them. Boo.

How much fun you can have with this "game" definitely depends on how much you are willing to spend on extra mixology dictionaries. If you have them all, and I highly suggest that if you are really going to play around with this, you just buy them all ($6 for both sets, I believe), you can really write yourself some interesting poems. You get to mix how much of each dictionary you want in your word drawer at any time. The addition of points toward awards is okay, but I'm not all that concerned with it myself. I LOVE the look of this magnet poetry take-off. The 70s-girly-scrapbooking/collage art that accompanies the app is certainly fun. And I really appreciate that although I have had this app on my iPad and iPhone (you only have to buy the dictionaries once by the way), this is the first time (in almost a year) that I have been asked to rate this app. I hate apps that ask after about 20 minutes into using the app. All in all, if you're a poet, sort-of poet, or just like making word mash, this is the poetry maker I choose to play with and I have played with almost all of the magnet-type poetry apps. If you're just seriously trying to write poetry, a notebook is probably your best bet. This is a really neat way to create some fun and sometimes some spontaneously serious poetry (haikus are a good way to go as well) and then share it via Facebook or email or however. Or just have fun and keep it to yourself.

I think this game could be much better and more popular. It needs to be geared more towards artistic expression and the discovery of truth rather than you can you get money. I mean the entire app is supposed to be centered around poetry but I'm so limited unless I want to spend a lot of money. Also, make a more modern fun design that everyone will love and make more room for bigger poems, and more word options. But I like how you can play with different ideas. I'd rather have adds and plenty of poetry than no ads but very limited tools if that's what you choose. I'd love it if you'd help me make art. Not help me help you make $$$. This is a great idea and could get big again but not like this. You're limiting yourself.

The default dictionary page resolution does not resolve on this pod, It shows the slider for "the", "old school words" and half of each of the other two options, somehow using this app does not gyrate the page sideways or fit to screen. Probably the same issue upon saving/ sharing. Need to close and restart the app in order to go "back" to playing. Was looking for the magical rabbit hole to take me to the creators/trouble shooters email, but unfortunately the review is my only hope to get a couple of issues resolved. Really having a blast with it in spite of the inconveniences. As far as the ditty bags of words is concerned I would have to say that with poetry less is more( in direct contradiction to my "review" cheers
