Fantastic
Gave me so much deeper a love a poetry, and a new amazing part of my morning routine
Almost as good as Shakespeare’s sonnets
This is the best app I’ve come across for poetry, including and excepting the one that helps you learn Shakespeare’s sonnets. Poesie mixes up, alternating weekly, historical and contemporary poetry. And you even get the chance to upload your own.
Great
Amazing app to incorporate poetry into daily life, thank you for your work !!!!
Permissions
I was excited to give this app a try, downloaded, and for got to look at the permissions. I don’t like when apps ask for way more than they need to function, so they can collect and potentially sell my information. My search continues.
Disappointed
Free users are supposed to be able to read the poem of the day (on the day only; we wouldn’t want free users to access more than one poem at a time, right?), but there are many times when I can’t even see the weeks poems, much less read the poem for the day. I consider free use to be an audition for an app. How an app treats its free users helps me decide if I want to pay for it. Why would I pay for an app that won’t provide free users with the bare minimum promised?

Response from developer
My apologies. It can happen if I am late on setting up the schedule for the week. I will try to be more on top it!
Why are all the recommendations men?
Since joining this app they haven’t recommended a single woman poet. I was waiting to purchase anything until I saw enough poems I liked. Sure, a few were good, some were blah, and not a single one was by or appreciating women. Not buying.
Nice app
I’d recommend
Wow
Genuinely, one of my favorite apps. If you love poetry or, like me, have always wanted to get into poetry, then this is the app for you.
It says it has free components but doesn’t
The app says multiple places that you can read the daily selection for free everyday but after a week if you don’t pay it locks all poems. Very disappointing don’t recommend
Library is limited
This app has helped me to involve poetry in my daily life, which I love. But at times it feels more concerned about promoting new poets than it does about offering a robust library. Some favorite poets only have a few of their titles available. There is not a single poem by Maya Angelou. I am often going outside of the app to look up some pretty popular poems. If the app is literally just about poetry, it should have a larger library.

Poesie
I have tried a lot of different apps for poetry and this is by far my favorite one. The community is amazing and very supportive of other poets. It has wonderful features that connect you further into poetry, like voice recordings from you or others, and the option to share your own written work. It is laid out in a way that makes sense and has all the information you need to make it a better experience. Poesie is a place to get away and connect with poetry.

Great App. One of its kind.
It’s a must have app.
Good idea, bad execution
I won’t pay money to share my thoughts without even being allowed to properly convey them. We can only use old artwork to backround our poetry and the whole app follows stereotypes whilst poetry a form of expression as is any other form of art therefor is should not be limited by the companies vision

Great app
Nice and simple and I love being able to hear the poems read out loud
Not what I was looking for
It’s definitely just okay. I was hoping for a lot more variety. I’m happy to discover new as well as “classic” poetry, but a week straight of one poet is too much. (Especially since I didn’t care for them.) I’ll stick with it a bit longer but will probably delete it if next week isn’t better.
Good enough app but nothing From Africa
I really loved the UI of the app and the fact that it doubles as a social network.
However, I completed my subscription only to realise there are no African poets in their catalog.
I have tried looking up the most popular African poems only to come up empty.
Both the classics and the modern ones.
This is disappointing, to say the least

Better than social media
I deleted my social media and downloaded this instead. I’ve been much happier and more fulfilled.
Inspirational
Thanks to apps like this, my poetry has been getting better, and I really love this app because you get daily different poems and poems that relate to what you like
Great and simple
It does its job. No annoying ads, no annoying paywall. Great app
