Though I’m not one to pay for apps, I’d say that this one would have to rival even apps that call for payment. That said, I have downloaded several free poetry apps in the last few years and this one trumps them all (sorry, I don’t mean to use that word in the ever sickening way it now holds when heard). The ease of browsing authors is a breath of fresh air and I kind of like that they include some nice backgrounds to accompany the poems. I’m still waiting to see if the initial poems shown on the homepage will change according to my “liked” poems, but even if not, there are an array of quality poems offered and the ease in finding another according to author contents me.

Compared to all the other on the App Store this is by far the best app out there. Unlike all the other apps it presents all the poems in an organized manner and allows you to read the poems in full screen once you flip your iPhone sideways. It also has a nice feature that lets you flip on to the nice poem so you don’t get lost with your progress. Another neat feature is the fact that it shows a image on the top of the screen that shows the top of the photo and then the middle of the photo is covered by the actually poem writing, and finally the lower half of the image is shown at the bottom.

I’ve only had this app for a day and it has already proven to be quite helpful. It inspires creativity. It helps me organize my thoughts, so that I can express them more succinctly and creatively. I am really excited about this. I’ve tried several other apps that claim to do the same thing, but they were little help, at best. This app is nothing but helpful. I love this app and highly recommend it for anyone who needs an occasional creative nudge. Chances are, you will surprise yourself!

I have only had this app for two days but already it is enriching my life. I love the selection of poems available to read whenever I want. They choose the most distinguished poets. Getting this app was an excellent decision for me.
