National Poetry Day say, "The best poetry app ever.... Particularly good for Adrian Moles (male AND female) stuck for words to express themselves & their hopeless passions. Like having a little Cyrano de Bergerac on permanent stand-by in the palm of your hand."

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:(

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.

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.
