Great resource

Wish I had more time to spend reading and memorizing the great poems included. A lost art.
Focused tool, but small selection

A great tool for appreciating, learning, and revisiting poems. The selection is small, for now, meaning it's not a great tool for finding an unfamiliar poem to inspire or think about.
Poetry out loud

Really a great way to play with poetry. I've had Such fun remembering reciting poetry. Good selections. I do hope developers stay invested in it and add new poems periodically. Good job!
Missing many of America's Great Poets

...Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou to name a few. I'm not trying to make this a "race thing;" I'd just really love to use this app to help me memorize, "Still I Rise." Don't get me wrong. I love this app, but I'd love to see a little more selection of poets...particularly poets of color...since we're calling this the "classics."
Amazing

This is not only an easy way to memorize a favorite poem or learn a new one, it's also an easy and fun way to keep your brain engaged and healthy. I've also learned the power of being able to recite a poem when the occasion merits it. Highly recommended.
Great way to memorize poetry

Excellent app for memorizing poetry. You have to pay for poems to memorize and all the poems are available for free elsewhere, which likely upsets a lot of people, but what you're paying for is the platform on which you memorize these works. It's pretty good. The only downside is that it ranks your performance on each section with a certain number of points and it doesn't let you know how many points are possible within each section so you don't know if you're performing as well as you should be to "master the poem". Overall a good app. I hope they add further functionality to it in the future, but as of right now it's still a good app if you like poetry.
Top-notch

I love this app. The delivery is smooth and clean, the tutorials are top-notch, the selection of poems is great.
