Ratings and reviews

great app so far. I feel free to post my poetry without people I know making it awkward or anxiety inducing. I can talk to a group of people who love words, and make a portfolio. some minor issues on my pixel 10. really could be a small comparability thing because it's shifting of text when typing occasionally after backing up. it makes it unrepairable. The text is still correct in reality but the representation is skewed and when you try and fix it the skew gets worse and more extreme.

I was unable to figure out a lot about how this app works. Contests, notifications, etc. Sometimes, my notifications were all notifications, sometimes they were just messages, and I couldn't figure out how to separate messages from regular notifications. I also can't figure out how to delete my account. I didn't think much of the community either. It seems like there's very little engagement. People post their own work, but don't seem to engage much with anyone else's. Great idea though.

I've been using this app daily for nearly two weeks now, and I am enjoying it immensely. The app and community are still young, but the developers are actively engaged in the development of the app and the community. But the best part is that I am getting a ton of engagement on my work! Whether you're new to online poetry, or you're an old hand looking for new digs, you found your spot. Time to Unwind.
