## Review summary

Users praise the breadth of poetry and the clean UI, plus a useful Favorites feature. However, recurring drawbacks include intrusive ads, missing search/sorting tools, reliability glitches (poems vanishing), licensing concerns for newer poems, and at least one report of favorites being wiped after an update. The app is valued for content and ease of use but would benefit from monetization options, better search/organization, improved stability, and licensing clarity.

- Free to use, providing good value without a subscription
- Favorites feature allows quick access to saved poems
- Elegant, simple, user-friendly interface for reading poetry
- On-demand poetry access makes it a handy quick reference

### Cons

- Ad-heavy, intrusive ads (long/unskippable)
- Lacks search and sorting features (no search bar; limited organization)
- Reliability issues including glitches and poems vanishing; loading problems
- Copyright/licensing concerns for newer poems and compensation questions
- Data loss after updates (favorites wiped) and broader UX issues
