Love it
Live. Laugh. Love Music.
This is a great app for memorizing poetry! I started with an easy poem (Eternity by William Blake) which took me just a few minutes to memorize. The fill-in-the-blank and poetry recital exercises are very helpful. Can't wait to memorize more poems with this app.
Bought a Poem, App Ceased to Function

The app worked wonderfully. Then I bought a poem package and a day later the app stopped working entirely. It crashes within 0.5 a second of opening. I'd like my money back please Penguin.

I was memorizing poems on my own using Eidetic, but it was clunky and not well designed for that sort of use, this is perfect. It takes some dedication, but I am memorizing much better now. So far, they have plenty I want to learn, but that may not be enough in the future. For now it is a decent selection, at least one you would probably want is in there. Hope to see them add more as time goes by.

Indispensable companion, font of ideas, great memorization tool. Wish it were possible to access more and varied poets; wiuld be nice to include a blank slate, too.
Literature in a delicious design!

Hope to see other literature kinds and works like this one. Shakespeare, Hardy, Dickens,, would be something!
Love it but wonky interface.

Hard to move around, wish it opened with the state in which I closed it. But great stuff.
What poems are in it?
Mooveez
Excellent concept, but you can't get a list of included poems. This is clunky, and as far as buying another volume, I won't do that if I don't know what's in it.
Money Grubbing

I expected from Penguin a boatload of poems to read and refresh my memory of those that I loved as a girl and possibly memorize some new ones. But $.99 is the price for poems after the first 4 of the day. I find it infuriating that publishers still charge full price for electronic books for which they've have no overhead any longer--no shipping, no warehouses w tight humidity to store books safely. They do not have to hire people to unload, organize, & retrieve anything. It is a computer based system! Of course we should pay the authors royalty rates as WEL as a fee for a small distribution fee for the servers that hold the information.
