Amazing app. The only issue I had is the lack of variety in poets. Where are more recent visionaries like Angelou? Users should be able to request poems they would like to see brought to life again by the app.

Poems By Heart uses brain-training techniques to make remembering poetry easy and fun – in a fast and responsive game. The National Endowment for the Arts calls the app “smart and beautifully designed, with a skillful blend of iconic poetry, memorization techniques, and great gaming.” Each poem features two new and exclusive dramatic readings, and all-new original art. Kirkus calls Poems By Heart “a sophisticated, wildly addictive tool for avowed poetry lovers.” MacLife recommends Poems By Heart as “a great tool” with a “terrific, animated interface.”

Good, But...
Lost my poems
Its a nice app, but after I accidentally removed it and downloaded it again I lost half of what I bought.
Great app
Nice and repetitive practice really speeds up the process of learning.
No longer updated
Was a great app, but sad that is no longer actively updated.
Love It
A great way to expand your mind with some poetry
Has bugs
The app seems to have some bugs for ios 10. Please update the app. When I launched it for the first time I had an alert that this app might slow down you phone. And my phone becomes clearly hot as I am using it.
A Shame
This app used to be great...back when it got updates. The newest poem pack was added 3 years ago, and since then, nothing. This wouldnt be a huge issue if you could add your own poems, but for now its a dead app with costly fees for public domain works.
