### 5/5 — Read nearly every night.

*2026-03-18*

I truly enjoy this poetry app. I love the selections of writers as well as the biographies. The Poem of the Day section is fabulous. Thank you for keeping poets and their words alive.

### 4/5 — Good app, needs work

*2025-10-19*

I downloaded this app to get me back in the motion of reading again and it’s been great at that. I found some great poems and loved that I could add them to my favorites. I just updated the app and all my favorites are gone. It would be cool if you could create a profile to save under because otherwise what’s the point? I also wish there was a way to see previous “daily poems” because there isn’t one at the moment.

### 1/5 — German only

*2025-09-30*

Everything including biographies are in German even when switching to English

### 1/5 — The English app only shows German-language poems

*2025-09-26*

This app seems to not be maintained anymore

### 4/5 — In German instead of English. Did the content get switched?

*2025-09-20*

This seems like a wonderful app. It’s called English Poetry. However, all the poems are in German. Not like the pictures in the App Store. Maybe the content accidentally was switched with the German Poetry app when an update was done?

Thank you for making apps like these! Please edit so the English Poetry app has poetry in English. :)

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2022-01-17*

I love this app. It introduces me to so many poets that are unknown to me. Enriching my life!

### 5/5 — Very Nice!

*2021-09-30*

Excellent poetry app, so glad that I found it. I read it every night!

### 3/5 — Text resizer not working

*2020-06-20, version 1.5.1*

Hard for me to read the poems. The option to choose different size fonts does not work.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-06-12, version 1.5.1*

I always enjoyed poetry, but didn’t know where to get a daily dose of diverse poets. I stumbled across this app and its poem of the day showed me the poets I had never read before and introduced me to some of my favourite poems.

### 5/5 — Great! Keep up the good work!

*2018-04-18*

Awesome app!   I’ve spent the last hour using the “random” button reading and discovering new poems and poets! Great concept, keep adding new content!
