5/5Simple And Lovely
Find the right image and let the words flow. Great little App for applying a feeling or lyrical thought to a photo. This is not about how many fonts this app has, it's about pure thought and splashing it onto a photo, and letting it naturally fall into the pix. Think of refrigerator magnets for your photos. You can position words or sentences in any direction 360 degrees, and also resize them easily. This app has reinvented the photo caption, and no two captions are ever the same! Thumbs up!

4/5Great except one flaw
I'm really liking Phoetics. To be fair, it's really short on features and options. It uses one font and background color for the text. But you can resize the text and move it and reorient it. So what it does it does well. What I HATE is that to add the "Phoetics" you have to crop it to ONE RATIO of 16x9 and ruin whatever you had it cropped to before, like a square! Makes it very hard for Instagramor anything else. Developers: please just make one change! Remove this crop! Don't force us to crop, just let us add it to the image in whatever shape we want! Thank you.

1/5Want my money back
This is such a stupid app, doesn't solve any purpose. You can only type 11 words and then you have to type them again and again and then arrange them all in one sequence and align them. Such a headache. Can't see how this works for posting on social media. Apps are meant to help make it easy for you and not make ur work hard. Stay away from it unless u have a dyslexic child and want to teach him how to arrange words and sentences in order.

4/5Surprise feature
I know that it's not technically what this app is for, but I use it to create iPhone wallpapers with my photos. I crop them and after editing the photos with the app I take a screenshot of it when the photo covers the whole phone. The results are good. It's a decent photo editor and you can move the text around and add it. I'm not much of a text person but this app has a surprising purpose for me.

5/5Fun app
I use this to capture a sentimental mood in my pictures and use as my lock screen. Some might find one block font limiting but I actually find that it makes the app more useful. Instead of fussing around with typeset, I'm looking for precision in word choice.

Poetics is a visual poetry app, developing the concept of an infinitely editable, object-oriented poetry. This major update now works on all iOS devices, features a ground-up rework of filters, allows creation of poetics in portrait and landscape orientation, changes default stying to text only (no box), and features a new carousel and gestural interface, with ability to zoom in and out of poetics, from thumbnail view to detailed editing and composition.
