About

Rhymia

Features
Read full description

Rhymia is a home for poetry: for the people who read it, and for the people who write it. WRITE AND PUBLISH YOUR OWN POEMS Rhymia is not just a reading app. If you write, you get a stage: a poet page of your own, in front of readers who came here to read poems. • Publish as many poems as you like, for free. • Open your poet page in one tap: pen name, bio, country, and links to your website and social profiles. • Write in the editor, or upload a PDF, TXT or Markdown file. Save drafts, or schedule a poem to appear later. • Give each poem a picture: your own, or one from a free photo library. • Tag each poem with a mood, so it shows up where readers look, next to Keats, Rilke and Petőfi. • Every poem you publish gets an audio version automatically, read in the language you wrote it in. • Collect your poems into books. Readers can follow you, save your poems and put them on their own shelves. POET PREMIUM • Upload your own recording of a poem, so readers hear your voice instead of the machine voice • Statistics: reads and listens for every poem • Links on your poet page: social media, your website, and where to get your book • Title and mood suggestions for your poems: 30 a day (3 on the free account) • Spell check as you write: misspelled words are underlined, tap for the correct form • Turn up to eight lines of a poem into a quote card and share it • Read without limits, save poems, make shelves and listen to any poem READ THE CLASSICS Hundreds of classic poems by poets from around the world: Goethe, Keats, Baudelaire, Rilke, Emily Dickinson, Pushkin, Petőfi and many more, each in the language it was written in. Every text comes from Wikisource, and every poem names its source. MADE FOR READING, NOT SCROLLING One poem at a time, with the line breaks the poet wrote. No endless feed, no autoplay. Browse by mood (love, friendship, grief, hope, philosophy, night and many more) or by the country the poet came from, and let any poem be read aloud in its own language. READER PREMIUM A free account reads up to three poems a day. Reader Premium removes the limit and adds saved poems, shelves, listening to any poem and offline downloads. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel it. Terms of Use: https://rhymia.eu/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://rhymia.eu/privacy/
