Poetry App: 

This app allows the reader to view his or her favourite poems. There are two horizontal scroll bars at the top of the page that tells you different themes such as boredom, contentment, nostalgia, etc. Each theme is coloured differently to represent an emotion. The left side has a side bar with options and the right side has a list of poems chosen. This app is extremely straightforward and each to use.

Poetreat App:

This app allows the reader to write his or her very own poem. This app has the typical side bar that shows your poems but, it has a left swipe option that allows you to have rhyming options. It has A, B, C, and D buttons to colour code your poems.

Verses Poetry App: 

This is a game like app that allows the user to make and rearrange text and create new poetry. There is a word drawer that you write and store words. There is a fun mix-tionary button that allows you to chose the different words and the number of words allowed per category type. 

Visual Poetry App:

This app has the option at the top left corner to chose the visual style of how you want your poem to look on the page. It is an interactive type of app for the user. You can create your own poems; customize designs and typefaces, etc.

Visual Poet App:

This app allows the user to create their own poetry. They can publish their work and design the layout of the design. It reminds me of a scrapbook which means it can be personalized.

Spine Sonet App:

This app is a bit hard to use. It took a while to find out how to work with it, so this might become a problem for those users who do not use iPads much. You have to double click on the screen to go back to the original page. Overall, this app is to view different poems by clicking on a book spine. It is not a very practical app in my opinion. 

Interactive Apps ( Choice, Speak, Know, Rattlesnake and Migration):

These are interactive apps which means they are fun user friendly apps. You touch the screen full of moving type and text. Then it pulls out words and phrases to create your poems.

Werdsmith App: 

This app allows you to create your own text or poetry and save it. It reminds me of the note pad on a mac device. It is pretty simple to use.
