## What is Poeta?

Enter the world of poetry with Poeta, your personal poetry library. Listen to high quality audio recordings of classic poems, and read along while you listen! Explore a growing catalog of thousands of classic poems from Shakespeare, Frost, Dickinson, Whitman and more. Curate your own collections and use the beautifully designed collection covers for an added personal touch.

We’ve handpicked daily poems for you to enjoy everyday. You can receive notifications for when a new daily poem is available, and you can specify when you receive these notifications in the Settings page. Choose to receive a poem to start your day off with mindfulness or to relax and contemplate before bed.

We have a growing collection of professional audio recordings for the poems in our library, and introduce a smooth experience while transitioning between reading and listening.

We’ve also curated collections, each of which are defined by a unique theme. There are curated collections that highlight specific human conditions, such as uncertainty, gratitude, friendship, and loss. Curated collections also include collections of poems from specific periods and selected works from famous poets such as Shakespeare.

You can also create your own curated collections. You can personalize these collections by selecting from a large assortment of illustrated covers, allowing your collections to feel like personal poetry books.

You also have the option to explore our library of thousands of poems freely, by using our Search tool, which allows you to search poems and authors based on titles, text, author names, and author’s period and region. You can also filter by poem lengths if you prefer shorter poems or longer poems.

We’ve also created “Explore” sections in our ForYou and Search pages, which highlight specific periods in history by suggesting authors and poems from the period. Take advantage of these sections if you’re curious about specific periods!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-02-20*

It is a fantastic all! However, I do wish that there were an option to have black text over a white background (instead of just white text over a dark background), which is easier on the eyes.

### 5/5 — Enjoyed Until Subscription

*2021-04-01*

Personally, I got this app so that I could read poetry more and this app was perfect for that reason. It provided a “Poem of the Day” and poems of different lengths and all sorts of other features that fit your needs! I loved it a lot, and it really did help me into reading poems more. That is, until a subscription was required to read nearly all of the poems. As of now, there are only 5 poems that are free to read. So, unfortunately, I cannot use this app any longer. It was indeed an amazing app and I highly recommend it! Although I cannot use this app anymore, since I cannot pay for that subscription, I still will rate it 5 stars, as it was really helpful for me. :)

**Developer response:** Hi Nia, thanks for the kind review. We're so glad that Poeta helped you read more poems--that's our goal! We needed to switch to a subscription model to help cover the cost of running and improving Poeta. That said, we're still figuring out the best pricing model to support Poeta in the long run. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are and see what we can do for your account! (our email is hello@poeta.io)
