POETRY from Poetry Foundation

You look for angelou and there's nothing, not even with hughes. Plus, you should offer the option of having definitions for certain words, especially for poems of the 17th and 18th century.

It's a nice app but it's missing some poems. I wish the database were updated and all the poems available in the poetry foundation website were made available here. It would make it a great app.

It's great app, but there is a problem with it. You can not listen to the AUDIO

We'll! Comparing it to other apps, I like it.. I learned some new poems that I never heard abt..

It's an excellent app, but audio is not working. If you straighten this out, then I'll give 5 stars.

Portal to great poetry, with good progress toward poetry from all of our diverse global voices. thank you

Great App. Thousands poems

Explanations needed.

My app crashes every time I tap "Spin." Every. Single. Time. Without fail. Please oh please fix this. I don't know if this is an issue with all Marshmallow phones but it is with mine (HTC Desire 530).

Crashes at the spin button are finally fixed in version 2.7! Not much changed otherwise, and an update is truly necessary, the app seems from an ancient era...

Amazing app

This app I keep coming back to for inspiration, celebration, solace. It's pleasing to use and the collection of poetry it points to is broad in every sense. One of the best starting points for anyone exploring the poetry universe.

The app is good but lacks quite an amount of content

Love being surprised. I often share poems from the app. A friend uses the audio search and loves it - will def give that a try.

Every time, crashes on startup.

Not as good as the website.

Plzzzz Addd more poetry!!

App doesn't launch

A feast. Thank you.

I really like this aap

Crashes when you press the spin button at the very beginning. It worked well in the older version when I could choose the category; with the mandatory spin entryway, I can't even get into the app. Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it again, but the exact same problem. (Droid Max, latest version)

There are a bunch of greats and a bunch of craps, the great world of poetry folded into a single cyber world page, except... where the hell is Sylvia Plath? The greatest poetess of all time is missing from this so called application designed by the foundation of verse. I want my Plath, my beautiful, lucid melancholy. Yes, I have nearly everything she's written in print, but I also want to carry her words in my pocket, wherever I go. The weight of her sublime sorrow. I want Sylvia. To her 'Edge', I plea.

Crashing on Spin. Tried a lot to get it to work, appears to be a bug. Report sent. I am looking forward to using this app on my XT1063. And zero response or fixes.

Try typing in Ted Hughes, Maya Angelou, Sylvia Plath, William Blake for goodness sake! And you will get nothing. The fact that this is a poetry app and doesn't contain some of the most famous poets alludes me. Apart from that, the design and layout of the app is outdated. There is a disregard for lines and the layout of the poem. Overall, prepare to be disappointed.

Crashes at spin every time, apparently also did that in older versions too. Great work guys

You look for angelou and there's nothing, not even with hughes. Plus, you should offer the option of having definitions for certain words, especially for poems of the 17th and 18th century.

Crashes more than not but when you do get it it's missing a lot of major poets and poems.

Doesn't have any noteworthy poets, more or less

Where are the poets and poems. Where is Richard Cory?

Crashes at "spin"

the best poetry app I've seen so far

My app crashes every time I tap "Spin." Every. Single. Time. Without fail. Please oh please fix this. I don't know if this is an issue with all Marshmallow phones but it is with mine (HTC Desire 530).

I use this to get a blast of wonderful poetry - most of it new to me, all of it world class - at the bus station, in the supermarket queue or anywhere else. It's been genuinely life-enhancing for me.

I love all moods of poetry and I cannot make the app find happy poetry, no matter how many times I spin.

The ui is ugly but there is a great selection of poems. The app needs updated to look better

Doesn't work on Marshmallow and has been that way for a while.

It has so many amazing poems that really make you think and feel grateful. I love it.

I've been reading the huge collection for sometime now. Dowloading again for another gadget... Will use this for a poetry and music open mic event. Yey! Thanks for this app.

I can't wait to be published by poetry foundation someday. By the way, I am on Facebook. LaTosha Pence. Check out the group Poetry Pod. Thanxox

I love this app. I'd love this to be a mirror of the entire poetry content available on the poetry foundation site if possible. A few poems are missing that's available on the foundation website. Could you add on an mini bio of the poet also in the app?
