Poetry might be the perfect literature form for the smartphone, so it’s not surprising that there are a lot of poetry apps out there.
It makes sense—a lot of poems are short and can be read on a smartphone screen without scrolling. Poetry is also the distilled thoughts and feelings of a poet, so it makes sense that a poet might write poetry on their phone as they move through their day, observing the world around them.
Because poems adapt so well to the (very) small screen, developers have created poetry apps for just about everyone: there are apps for reading poetry, apps for creating poetry, apps for students of poetry, and even poem-based games.
Whatever your interaction with poetry, there’s an app for you out there. I collected some of favorites here. (This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the poetry apps out there—there are hundreds of apps out there.) There are some paid apps on this list, but since poets aren’t known for their wealth, I tried to include free ones wherever possible.
