Poet's Pad™ for iPad

Review Update: I think this app has been sitting on my iPad long enough without it being updated, or anything new added. I don't know what's going on at home, but I'm beginning to think that the real reason for its existence is something other than what appears. Hmm. Previous Review: Would love to see some background or an introduction to how poetry is formed. I know there's a lot to learn about the structure of poetry, but a little education would help a lot. Great app. Would love to see some new activity. Something new would be refreshing. Thanks for a usefull poetry app. There aren't many, if any, like it.

I like this app. Useful features. Was updated this year 2018. The only problem I remember was I had some difficulty sharing outside of the app. Wasn't the easiest process. If this is corrected that would be great.

don’t waste your time this app does not work😑

I bought this app on a whim, because I liked the idea of a dedicated application for poetry composition. It works fairly well for this, and has some nice features, as well as a well-done interface. No doubt the developer put a lot of time and effort into it. That said, I am disappointed that the rhyming dictionary, etc. is not actually stored on the device, but on the internet. This means you have to be connected, via 3G or WiFi, if you want to use the program's main features. I realize that this concern might be moot for a lot of people, but I probably wouldn't have purchased the application had I known this was the case. (Really, though, for $6.99, one can't complain much....) Also, I can't help but notice that "poet's pad" seems virtually identical to another of the developer's offerings, "songwriter's pad," even to the point that dialogue boxes in the application say things like "new song" rather than "new poem." Still, it promises to be a useful and valuable application, if you can live with the connectivity requirements.

Most Apps do what they claim to do, sometimes extremely well, sometimes not so well. Pages, Numbers, Kindle, GoSkyWatch are great apps and cost $10 or less. There are some great apps that are free. Many very good ones cost a buck. This one cost $10 - the same as Pages - and is nearly worthless. I mean this is a POETRY WRITING app that has a truly worthless rhyming dictionary. You can Google "rhyming dictionary" and instantly get at least two fast efficient on-line rhyming dictionaries. This app frequently comes up with NO rhyme at all or maybe two or three words. Use one of the other online dictionaries by double tapping while in this app and you get perhaps 100 words for the same query. On top of this, instructions are absent, and the entire app is awkward to use. I resent the fact that I have to write this terrible review to warn others away. I really think Apple was asleep at the switch on this. It should never have got past their QC.
