So not cool! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Function *2025-12-26, version 2.4.3* It says “Generic Error” whenever I search for anything. It hasn’t worked once. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it. ### 1/5 — The app is completely broken *2025-12-20, version 2.4.3* doesn't work anymore. you cant search for any poets or poetry. just generic error message ### 1/5 — Discontinued? *2025-12-06, version 2.4.3* It seems this app is no longer operational? I downloaded it and there’s nothing. I search for poems and I get an error? ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-08, version 2.4.3* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-27, version 2.4.3* App doesn’t work. Searching for a poem or poet doesn’t provide any results. ### 1/5 — Some sort of bug *2025-09-17, version 2.4.3* Downloaded the app but for some reason it’s there’s no content or anything. It’s essentially blank. The only thing that works is the link to the webpage. I’m sure this is rare. ### 1/5 — Epic Fail *2025-09-05, version 2.4.3* Purchased the ad free version and there are zero poems, only an error message. I should have read the reviews as others are having the same issue. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t even work :( *2025-08-28* I have recently developed a love for poetry. I have written a few poems, been published, and got this app to hopefully get some good poems to read. I guess i should stick to the books because this was an epic fail. I searched up some of my fav poets and it said there was a ‘error’ and that they didn’t exist. Disappointed. Please look into this issue and i might download again if you update it. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-08-26, version 2.4.3* The app has been broken for some time now so no content displays in it. I paid for the ad free version, not the content free version. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — App defunct *2025-08-16* Not working, nothing besides button and a generic error message are being displayed ### 1/5 — Does Not Function *2025-07-31, version 2.4.3* This app is completely non-functional. No daily poems, and no results yielded when searching a poem or poet—you only get a page that says “Generic Error”. This app has not been updated in 2 years. Not worth it, WAS great before but has been completely abandoned by its devs. ### 1/5 — Nothing appears *2025-07-19* Nothing works. Just blank pages. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-07-08, version 2.4.3* I downloaded the app and even paid for the ad free version and NOTHING WORKS!! This app should have a -10. It’s the worst app I ever downloaded. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Defunct at Best *2026-07-25, version 26.0.0* I had saved poems to read for my family and even though the selections were limited they were still archived here Trying to add and search for other poems stopped being available as an option on this app I’m still confused by the lack of depth and selections in the older days but now it’s all locked up and isn’t progressing at all Where’s the development and progress Who knows a better app for poem searches This is supposed to be it But this is what you get for free Neat Obviously it’s easier now to make my own folders but wow Maybe Poemhunter is just lost in the woods with a broken bow and scattered quiver in the mud along the river Sorry to say ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-06, version 2.4.3* Very poor bug ridden app. Just does not work ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE/BUY *2026-06-19, version 2.4.3* IT DOESNT WORK LOL ### 1/5 — Dosent work *2026-06-10, version 2.4.3* There is no poems on here ### 1/5 — Generic error *2026-05-29, version 2.4.3* What is a generic error….. I just downloaded the app. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-05-06, version 2.4.3* Downloaded the app, nothing appeared on any screen. Searched “Frost” and “Emerson”, and it said it found “0 Poems” and “0 Poets” with these names. ### 1/5 — Poems Aren’t Showing *2026-04-16, version 2.4.3* Loaded the app ecstatic to dive into a poetry app that would let me save any poems I wanted only to discover that not a single poem was loaded on the app. The only error code was “Generic Error” ### 1/5 — App won’t open up *2026-04-12, version 2.4.3* App won’t even open on my iPhone 14 ### 1/5 — Poems don’t even load *2026-03-14, version 2.4.3* Not sure what I’m doing wrong but all I get is a blank page. No poem loads, no search results load. ### 1/5 — App never wprked *2026-03-10, version 2.4.3* Try as I might, I was never able to receive nor search for poems. It just took up space on my home screen, disappointing me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Transfer *2026-07-14, version 2.4.3* How to transfer poems ### 5/5 — Not Receiving My Daily Poem… *2025-06-11* -or ANY for that matter. I don’t know what the issue is, but someone look into this because I paid to receive daily poems, ad free and now I look for my poems, which I haven’t received in a few days, and everything is just blank. According to this page here, you last updated this app TWO YEARS AGO. Maybe it’s time for someone to get back on that? I await your response. ### 5/5 — doesnt really work *2025-02-28, version 2.4.3* im not sure if this is just my wifi connection, but i have tried this app on numerous occasions at different areas, yet it tells me i have an unstable network connection. very dissatisfied ### 5/5 — All my poems vanished *2024-12-26, version 2.4.3* I loved this app until all my saved poems disappeared? ### 5/5 — So refreshing *2024-05-31, version 2.4.3* It feeds my longing for beauty ### 5/5 — Creative People *2024-04-04, version 2.4.3* It is refreshing to know the contributions of creative individuals, offering plenty to learn and expand horizons of knowledge. It is a wonderful platform permitting access to meaningful contents and allowing writers and poets to freely express thoughtful ideas. Being a British poet and author, I constantly gain and share new perspectives. Regards Dr. Nazir(Birmingham) ### 5/5 — Brought poetry in my life *2023-12-05, version 2.4.3* Great app has lots of good poets, serait très apprécié d'avoir des poètes français.
