lovely to listen
the app is so comfortable to use, and the readings are fantastic as well. there’s also a decent variety of works available which is great! only thing is i wish it was able to connect to my airpods, it seems like the audio doesn’t connect with bluetooth devices unfortunately:(
Disappointing
The concept is amazing, however it won’t let me connect to my Bluetooth, rather it be a speaker or my AirPods. I had so wanted to just relax and listen to this with my earphones and can’t.
it doesn’t connect to airpods
:( only speaker mode...
Please Update
Simply that; please update this app for the new iOS. This is by far my favorite app and would be gutted to no longer have it for such a silly reason as this.
Unhappy Appy
Really slow to load different sections
Just beautiful.
Great selection, beautifully read.
Love it!
Wonderful selection of poetry, prose, and quotes. Sadly it hasn't been updated in a long time so it is very slow nowadays but no less enjoyable.
Love this! With one suggestion...
I adore this app. I sometimes use it to meditate when I need a soothing, British voice to help me zone out. I also use it to lull me to sleep, much like a lullaby. The only thing I wish I could do with it is hit Play All on My Faves that I have saved, like we can on all of the poems, and listen to those without stop. Also, being able to organize My Faves would be lovely, sometimes I like listening to the same voice for awhile, or the same poet, so having all of my favorite Shakespeare items in one Favorites section, and all of my favorite Tom Hiddleston or Emma Watson read poems in another would be lovely, for example. Other than that, I use it nearly as frequently as my social media apps--and I certainly cannot say that about many other apps.

Five stars and beyond
Still one of my favourite apps, have not removed it from my phone since downloading it, thank you... It truly gives peace of mind
I love this!!
I wish they would come out with an audiobook. Listening to Tom Hiddleston read Tennyson was a pleasure not to be missed.
Great app! But it could be even better.
I wish we had more readings to listen to... the poems are fabulous but some readings don't match the words in the poem (The Invitation, by Oriah. Read by Emma Watson is one that comes to mind) it would be nice to have the text corrected or a side note explanation.
Some info on the authors also would be a great addition.
Overall the app is totally worth the money and I hope we get more readings... Why is it that I can listen to Tom Hiddleston reading Love After Love on YouTube but not in this app?

Make it closeable
I got this app just now and it seems lovely, but I wish I was able to lock my phone and listen. I wanted it to listen to while sleeping but it cuts off when minimised
Really nice
I love this APP.
New favorite app. More recordings please!
I just bought this app a few days ago, and I absolutely love it. I love poetry (meeting Billy Collins in college was like meeting a rock star to me). This app not only introduced me to new poems, but the actors reading them brought them to life in a new way. The write your own/record your own poem feature saved everything perfectly. I hope there will be more recordings coming soon. I would love to open up this app and hear Benedict Cumberbatch reading "The Good Morrow," or Ewan McGregor, David Tennant or Robbie Coltrane reading Robert Burns.

Great, but I wish it saved my poems
Title is self explanatory
A great app! But it doesn't let me write.
Under the MY LOVE BOOK (write a poem!) tab, my poems never save. I write a poem, save it, and look back to see if my poem is there. It isn't! The title and author are there, but nothing I wrote. Please fix!
I love this app..
A great compilation of poetry. I love getting to hear some recited- a part of me wishes even more had been! It also introduces you to some you may have never heard before.. Bravo!! I do hope there is an update one day with more!!
Beautiful
This exceptional collection has wonderful readings by some top actors. It's a joy to use and useful too - especially for weddings!
Hauntingly interesting
As an avid reader especially in the fantasy section I underestimate the hold that poetry has. This app is a good reminder to have that everything written doesn't need so magic spells, swords, creatures from another world but something as pure as a few words just to make you feel...
I was sold at Tom Hiddleston +poetry
I bought this lovely app because it combines my love of poetry and Tom Hiddleston :) The app allows you to record the poem or listen to the actors/actresses read it for you. The visuals on this app is appealing and fun. Thank you for such an app now if you'll excuse me I'm off to listen to Tom Hiddleston read my favorite poem via this great app :)
