Poetry Magazine App

I have read poetry for eight decades but in the past ten years I am finally learning poetry thanks to Poetry.I flipped open essays this morning and discovered a delightful discussion of Chaucer that will prompt me to re-explore the Canterbury Tales with much better understanding.Don’t change and never forget most of your support is from silent but very ardent appreciators. Thank you for being.

Excellent, intuitive design. Accessible audio and text. Hold your phone sideways for the correct line breaks. I’m not sure if it’s default night-mode, but the white text on black is really nice. Love the downloadable issues! They’ve perfected the format of monthly publication on a phone. Maybe even nicer than a physical mag! Controversial, but i LOVE the audio recordings of people reading their poems. 10/10 excellent work!

I'm so glad the Poetry Foundation re-vamped this app. The layout of each issue is much better, it allows landscape view on iPhone (hallelujah) and the UI is much improved. However, it still has one same issue that the former had. It is still having difficulty retrieving past purchases through iTunes and not a subscription. It keeps saying it can't connect to iTunes. For those who have purchased many back issues (like me!) that makes the app, and also our historical purchases, way less valuable.
