POETRY now for Android and iPad!

Posted by jamie | July 13, 2011

We’re really excited to announce that the award-winning POETRY app is now available on Android and an enhanced iPad version. Tierra designed and developed the super-popular iPhone version in collaboration with The Poetry Foundation last year.

The iPhone app was also substantially upgraded when we launched the iPad version in late May to include streaming audio, text-size scaling, poet bios, hundreds of new poems and more. The iPad version includes a big bonus: free PDF downloads for the four most recent versions of Poetry Magazine, the Foundation’s flagship publication.  The Android version has all the same great features as the iPhone app too.

We’re also honored that the POETRY app has been recognized with multiple awards over the past year, including winning in HOW + Print Magazines’  Color in Design 2011 Awards, an Appy Award nod, and others.

So download your favorite version from the App Store or Android Market and check out the “essential app” that hundreds of thousands of others are raving about.  Soon you’ll be reciting poetry aloud in the subway, whispering to your betrothed by candlelight, or simply pondering the wonders of beautiful verse. Enjoy!
