"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - 41/2 stars
This application is great!
Visually, it is a superb use of the iPhone and its capabilities ... a really stylish and unusual looking application with great function. You’ll find friends and family want to play with it, and may find yourself spending hours creating ‘interesting’ poems. Really innovative, well thought out and designed. It’s a keeper!"
A world of tranquil creativity in the palm of your hand.
Using words from the old master poets and writers, and words from right now downloaded from the Internet, you can create a poem and then publish it to Twitter or email your poetry to your friends.
You can use Shakespeare's sonnets, the rime of the ancient mariner, Edgar Allen Poe's collected poems or Rudyard Kipling's Just So stories. You can also get words from digg.com's current top stories and news downloaded live from the Internet. You can even mix them up, and combine the new and the old.
If you can't find the word you need then you can create your own.
A state of the art physics engine brings the word tiles to life so you can relax, enjoy and create.
What's New in Version 1.3.0
• Fixed a bug where some users would see debug numbers on the word tiles
• Added a little 'tweetie bird' which appears on the last word tile to be twittered

Really nice magnet-word app
I really like this magnet-word-type app a lot better than the standard-issue box of words, because you never know what's going to spill out of the chute, but you do have some control of the nature of the words, being able to choose from words from the Ancient Mariner, Poe, Shakespeare, Kipling -- OR, digg or internet news. Or any combination of these. And you can easily discard those you can't use or don't want, and crank out more until you're satisfied. What a pleasure. I haven't actually saved any creations and emailed or posted them on Twitter yet, but I'm sure I will.
Wonderful for new material
This app helps a writer who tends to stick to the same new ideas. Throwing out new words and making your head wrap itself around them. It definatly helps you mature as a poet and helps discover new ways to write!
Superb idea, well executed.
Even if this wasn't so well thought out (which it is) or so compulsively addictive (which it us), Thus has to be hands-down the most beautiful-looking app on the store, and quite probably one of the most innovative.
I've spend the entire morning composing bad faux sonnets and sending them to my wife, who probably now wishes someone would obligingly break my thumbs. Awesome.
