### 5/5 — Simple, fast and small

*2019-02-07, version 1.2*

I just needed a reminder about structure and a place to create quit haiku. This is it. Not a bloated, buggy app with a bunch of features I don't need. I appreciate the “lack of features” as a feature. Keep it simple.

### 4/5 — Good for writing

*2018-10-13, version 1.2*

This app is great for counting my haiku syllables. Just wish there was a way/place to save what’s written other than copying to clipboard.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for.

*2018-02-19, version 1.2*

Simple beautiful /
Haikus made super easy /
I totally recommend

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-07-05, version 1.0*

Wonderful for writing haikus. It's simple and proficient. I love how it counts the syllables. Worth getting if you like experimenting with poetry.

### 1/5 — Halfassed ap

*2025-01-20, version 2.1*

Developer phoned this one in as a quickie. No way to save, no way to retrieve. Basically just a disposable syllable counter. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Really?!

*2024-02-13, version 2.1*

Your write and your only option is to copy to clipboard?! How do you save your work? Where is there a “notepad”?! Seriously, the only option in this app is create, copy, delete!! Nothing is save, no place to go. Here’s my haiku: if you can’t read it, it’s because it’s copied to my clipboard

### 2/5 — Please put an option to turn selected poems off

*2026-05-09, version 2.1*

It would be much better to have a blank page to start or at least the option to choose than to have to overwrite someone else’s work. not a good feature.

### 3/5 — Great but…

*2024-01-26, version 2.1*

I can not access prior haiku after i write them, i can not go back to review all of them. I can find the prior one but everything before it is gone.

### 3/5 — Would love to save and review

*2023-12-06, version 2.1*

I have similar comments as other folks. I love the simplicity of this app. But how can I save and review my haikus? I also wish there was a share button so I could send them

### 3/5 — Essential

*2018-04-25, version 1.2*

More features! Please

### 4/5 — I love writing haikus with this app but …

*2023-03-08, version 2.1*

This is an elegant app. Thank you. But I am experiencing a couple issues. 

1. The clipboard … it’s easy enough to “save” to the clipboard by tapping the icon at the top. But please tell me where is the clipboard when I want to review what I have written? How do I access what I’ve written? 

2. How do I access the 175 haikus that are in the app for inspiration? The only other icon is the delete trashcan. Where do I tap to see the other poems that your description says are there? 

I love using this app, but would like to know how to access my work and how to find the Haikus embedded within. 

Thank you!

### 4/5 — Please add a save feature

*2022-10-07, version 2.1*

Let there be a way /
To save what it is I say /
I will even pay!

### 4/5 — 17 syllables in check

*2022-09-08, version 2.1*

I do love this haiku app because it helps me with syllable counting. I still have not figured out where the clipboard is. I keep saving things to it, but I’m not sure how to access it. That’s my only problem.

### 4/5 — Great idea

*2020-12-15, version 2.1*

So far so good. Love how simple it is, have been needing a syllable counter. I’d like to see an option to save haikus after writing them, having them stored in a library of sorts (not copied and then having to paste somewhere).

### 5/5 — 5-7-5

*2025-03-03, version 2.1*

the five seven five /
has never been easier /
maybe too easy

### 5/5 — Clipboard

*2024-10-26, version 2.1*

For everyone who “can’t find the clipboard”, the clipboard is in your phone, you can then paste it to your notes or texts, etc.

### 5/5 — Themes!

*2024-07-13, version 2.1*

Great app, very helpful and simple to use! Would love to see different themes/backgrounds added!!

### 5/5 — Beautifully simple

*2023-12-24, version 2.1*

Love the simplicity, it would be great to have a save, share & back ground feature

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2023-11-08, version 2.1*

I love this app so much. Clean, simple, lets you write without distraction. Suggestions I have is to have a feature to save your poems and a way to share your poems with other poets like an Instagram type feature.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2023-06-07, version 2.1*

Love the simplicity of this app and the clean interface. The examples of other haikus are really good too. I hope it will encourage me to write some more

### 5/5 — Very well designed

*2022-08-15, version 2.1*

but would be nice to have
A feature to save your rhymes

### 5/5 — Simple, but helpful

*2021-12-06, version 2.1*

Fingers carefully 
track seventeen syllables — 
not anymore, thanks

The simplicity of this app makes it shine. A distraction-free environment helps my creative thoughts flow. Once completed, a simple copy & paste adds it to my haiku notebook on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Brilliantly simple

*2021-10-26, version 2.1*

Excellent app for writing haiku. I wonder if it could be extended to write tanka as well?

### 5/5 — An elegant app

*2021-08-31, version 2.1*

Easy to use and simple
I hope it won't die
