Can I make some

I have recently discovered my love for poetry, and I would love to put my works here. There’s such a HUGE selection, and I love it. Another interesting thing could be a featured poet? Not everyday, but maybe once a week. I really think that the feature to submit/comment on poems would be cool.In praise though, amazing. Maybe more features, but seemingly endless content. The search engine could be better, searching based on theme instead of title. (If I type something like “cat” (idk??!) only poems with cat in the title would appear, rather than poems about cats.)Seriously you guys, it sounds like I’m downing y’all, but I’m not!! I love this app!!

Words of Wisdom,Guidance,and Assurance When You Needed The Most

Thank You, this app has the ability to guide a person when in doubt, the wisdom of kind words but true words for whatever path you may encounter. The assurance of why you’ll be ok, and the encouragement of standing up again. I’m amazed by how words can and do affect your every way of living, aa thoughts, sad thoughts, love and being denied thoughts. The feeling is indescribable in every scripture that has been written and that there is Alwaise someone that is in the same path you are going through and to help guide you through it all till the end. I Love every bit of helpful and powerful words. Pls and Thank You. 💜

This app not only tries its best and tries hard to hide all the ads but the poems are of quality. What I mean is that they are not like some person who just made them. If you actually think about the meaning of the poem, it is actually really good! There are new poems everyday and for me that is a good solid app to keep. Sad is that there isn’t any notifications for them to remind that there is a new poem, would like that as a suggestion. But overall, this app is amazing and has changed my life so far, (I got it like a week ago but it seems like forever) I could really see me using this app for a long time!!
I love it!!!

Fundamental Problems

There are two problems with this well-conceived but poorly executed app: the presentation and the selection. Firstly, no matter what poem you get, the verses that ride over the length of your screen do not have their remainder indented on the second line. The second part of the line justifies left, just like a normal line beginning. This (lack of) technique doesn’t just look bad. It makes one struggle to scan where a line ends. The reading experience suffers immensely on a phone screen. (I will leave out my petty font gripes.)Secondly, the selection of poems are completely unfiltered. That doesn’t just mean amateurish, silly, laughable poems sprinkled in among the interesting reads. That means user-submitted transcripts of classic poems riddled with spelling and capitalization errors. An effort at curation would be most welcome. I love the idea of poetry, randomly selected and assigned to you. The exploration, the surprise, and the possibility of discovery are thrilling, like how a Pandora radio list of old may have flung artists you never heard of at you and thereby teach you of a new artist. On top, this app adds the possibility of a contemporary creative community. But this app lacks the features to fulfill such promises.
