Get Cultured and Impress your Friends!Most of the apps you’ll find on the app store will provide you with a certain amount of fun but usually it will not be profound and will last only until the next ‘star’ will raise. Poems By Heart is different. I think it’s redundant to explain the importance of the classical poetry with the deterioration of culture now days, with this important and fun app you can pay these poems the respect they deserve and spread it to your surrounding. The app is FREE and two poems are included, you can also purchase seven more packs of poems in the the site’s poetry store. It’s easy to share your progress online as you build your skills through five different stages and twenty ranks of success. These poems survived through decades of cultural changes, it’s high time we all imprint them in our minds!
