One day I'll be at his house aka my Graceland and have pix of his house and grave on my wall right next to every book that I have with every poem short story or anything else that has been wrote by him. R.I.P. Edgar Allan Poe thanks for the great story's and poems that u wrote

### 5/5 — Edgar's cousin

*2012-03-05, version 4.2*

I am Edgar Poe's 2nd cousin and I am always trying to learn more about him.  I love having this ap with me all the time.  I'm sure he would be very happy to know that he has so many adoring fans.  Can't wait for the movie.   I love you Edgar!!!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Paid and showed pop up at star.

*2023-01-01, version 10.0*

Freaking stop.

### 1/5 — Non functioning DON’T BOTHER

*2022-10-31, version 10.0*

Would give ZERO STARS. I downloaded the app and there is no content. THE APP CLOSES WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE LIBRARY. I attempted to contact app support and my email was delivered back to me as UNDELIVERABLE.

### 3/5 — Needs a fix

*2014-01-14, version 5.2*

The app is great but the last page of every story is cut off. It's a bug that needs to be fixed! I hate reading a whole story and then missing the last few sentences!

### 3/5 — Review

*2013-06-03, version 5.0.4*

I bought the app last night and looking forward to reading all of Poes work but there is an issue I believe needs to be addressed. Under the poems section there are a few poems that are incomplete and end at page 2 with page 2 being "the end" page. Is anyone else having this issue? Please help, I'm on an iPhone 5 for tmobile. Thank you and happy reading everyone.

### 3/5 — Poe is one of my favorite Writers

*2012-04-10, version 4.2*

It's worth every penny, though I do agree with the others that scrolling downward can be quite vexing.  

  I prefer flipping the pages, much like iBooks, with the entire page overtaking the screen, rather than a transparent partial section.

  If they fix this, it will get my 5 stars.

### 3/5 — The Incomplete Edgar Allan Poe

*2011-10-31, version 4.2*

Probably the best Poe app out, and well worth 99 cents. But it is far from complete. I understand the decision not to include several pieces universally included in Complete Works, for example, Poe's illuminating Marginalia. 

But to overlook what Poe (and many scholars) considered to be his most important work - EUREKA - is unforgivable. This piece out-did Einstein (in1847!), prefigured Quantum Physics, and is essential to understanding the vast scope and grasp of Poe's mind. 

The app could be a little more user-friendly and a lot more attractive with very little effort. There are many good reasons why most ebooks flip pages rather than scroll down - the scrolling makes it impossible to find your place or a particular passage. The ability to mark passages would also be most helpful, and some prettying up is justified. 

But Most of All, Include "Eureka" - no edition can be called complete without it.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2010-10-05, version 0*

I love Poe's work, but it's rather difficult to read on my iPod. I think the layout is a bit silly, there are random
Things in the beginnings of the stories that are usually not in English, and there are typos as well. Though it is astounding that such a collection exists for the iPod, or at all for that matter, the app isn't in my tastes. I suppose it just doesn't match up to the greatness of the author. Three stars all in all.

### 4/5 — Potentially great!

*2013-10-04, version 5.0.4*

I enjoy enourmosly reading Poe in this great collection of his amazing writings, but there are a few drawbacks to the App itself:
1. There is no way to select and copy text. I often need a translation from French (which is used a lot by Poe) or even sometimes from English, and there is no way to paste a piece of text into the translator.
2. Letters being cut in half at the edges of a page.
3. Sometimes the App forgets the last book i was reading and I need to find the book and the page again.
4. Increasing or decreasing text in the middle of the book repositions all the text so that I need to search for the correct place again.

Otherwise I fully enjoy it

### 4/5 — Pretty cool

*2011-10-28, version 4.2*

I just got this app but I already think its good. The only thing I don't like is that you have to scroll down, and if you can, its kind if hard to find out how. But other than that, It seems pretty cool for Poe readers to be able to portably take his stories wherever they go without buying expensive books that don't even have all of the stories in it.

### 4/5 — I like it

*2011-05-02, version 4.1*

I like it, I wish it was more like a book.
It has a border around the app in everything you do! But, this is a awesome APP it has so many options on what you want to read! There are tons of books, poems, and just regular stories. I love this app, it is worth the $99. cents

### 5/5 — Who Doesn’t Love E.A. Poe

*2021-09-03, version 10.0*

This app is a Poe lover’s ideal app. 
You can read his poetry and stories whether you’re taking a break, resting, busing to work, ready to turn the lights off or in bed ready to read one more line. 
So go ahead now and read another line or page. 
One nice addition would be links to or mentions of critical comments on the poems and other writings of Poe althougg those might force the apps creators to ask a fee.

### 5/5 — Poe Enthusiats

*2021-08-19, version 10.0*

No better writer than Poe when ones loves to read those who have mastered and know how to craft extraordinary stories and poetry in the English language.

This app is the best companion for traveling Poe enthusiasts.

### 5/5 — I love this App

*2020-08-08, version 10.0*

I have always enjoyed reading Poe and this app provides a compendium of his works. Excellent! It brings back memories of the days in school when we studies his works.

### 5/5 — I Utterly Love Poe!

*2019-11-22, version 6.1*

I’ve always enjoyed Poe! He was a magnificent writer who had a exceedingly rough life. This app is just wonderful to have his fine works available at your fingertips! The wide array of his writings is rather astounding. There ought to be more promotion of this handy app of the man who invented the detective story and is considered to be one of the finest American writers in history. A biography could be included but the writing itself is so rich is doesn’t really need it! I wish I could pay again (certainly not my normal attitude in the days of greedy subscriptions). Thank you for this app and thank you Edgar Allen!

### 5/5 — Easy read of a great author

*2018-09-23, version 10.0*

Well done app.....wish you could read landscape style.....only a wish not a complaint......

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2016-11-15, version 6.1*

I'm a big Poe fan,and this app is absolutely wonderful,easy to read,and has so many of his works.

### 5/5 — Love Poe

*2015-10-15, version 6.1*

I love poes works and this makes it really easy to find all his enthralling stories. If you are getting this for a project I hope you find his stories as ensnaring as I do. Love this app. Easy to use. Efficient.

### 5/5 — Exactly what the title promises

*2015-09-23, version 6.1*

The app provides pretty all of Poe's non-review library, allowing one to get the full story of his career. Navigation can be a bit of a chore, but that's really just a nitpick. A good library to add.

### 5/5 — Excellent For Reading

*2015-05-31, version 6.1*

For those that simply want to easily read and navigate anything by Poe: this is the app for you. I wish the people who made this app made one for Lovecraft as well (I've looked at some and they don't look as good). You can specify how big the font is and how you'd like to scroll. If you want a Poe reading app, get this one.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2014-09-07, version 6.1*

I have a Poe obsession so this app fits nicely into my world! I've been able to use it on many school projects and papers as well! It's my favorite app 😊
