| 2025-01-30 |  | | Confusing ui, no tutorial or way to figure out what any screen does, and every button I press besides the profile and feed shove a subscription in my face. I'd love to write and post, but the app seems to go against you in every sense in that way. Perhaps there's something I just missed, but after trying every tab, and getting at least 10 subscription requests, I'm done. |
| 2025-01-21 |  | | The app is easy to use and so far all users are very nice . There are some amazing writers. Issue i am having is when I go to do the final preview of my book. It says there is an Error and can't load preview. This has been an issue for over a week . I report the issue but hear nothing about it being fixed. Would like for this to be looked into. |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | wow. using this app for the past three years I've yet to have a problem. friendly users for the most part. easy to use. all around a great app. then out of the blue I and all Poetizer users are smacked with a subscription to use. however you cannot copy the 200 poems youve already wrote so everything is lost till you pay. after years of being free they hit the most loyal users with a fee. |
| 2024-05-04 |  | | This app functioned better back when it was free. But now that it's an expensive $$$ subscription service, the writing space doesn't function at all. How does that make any sense? It will erase what I type out, and it creates giant spaces between each sentence like if you endlessly press "enter." The problem is apparently compatability with the keyboard, but what sort of app suddenly stops working with the DEFAULT samsung keyboard? It's ridiculous... |
| 2024-02-17 |  | | Unable to do ANYTHING without paying for a subscription. No option for limited service, just a pay wall block. Thanks [Edit I payed for the the subscription but now I can't even write ANYTHING. After a few sentences, the text starts to expand without control. YES it informed me to use an alternative keyboard because of a Samsung issue with auto complete and input emotions but I don't want nor need to enable that. What's the point of paying if there are still and now more bugs.... |
| 2023-12-09 |  | | Previously an amazing app to connect to other poets and find up and comers. Used this app for years with no problems until they decided to make it subscription based. You can't view your notifications, your own profile page, your drafts or poems without paying. I could understand if they rolled out new features that needed a subscription but pay walling basic features and blocking access to our own work is disgusting. |
| 2023-09-17 |  | | The new update is just wrong... Edit: Adding a subscription is actively killing your app. You're getting bombarded by 1-star ratings because that's how we feel about the recent change to the app. Rather than rebutting, LISTEN. Poetizer was the best app of its kind. Adding a debilitating subscription in order to maintain the app is not the right. I'm not saying reverse this all and go back to the older model. Figure out a better solution, cause this ain't it. Do better. |
| 2023-08-30 |  | | I started this app a year ago, I absolutely loved it. Free publishing, seeing other's artwork, and more. It was also extremely great for beginners. I deleted the app for awhile, and when I came back, I couldn't do anything without a subscription in my way. I really love writing poems so this made me upset. I still love this app but the subscription won't let me do anything. Not even let me view my own profile! I love this app like I said, but subscriptions are annoying. |
| 2023-08-19 |  | | I enjoyed this as an outlet to make poetry, and gave it a break from burnout. Came back to a subscription form of service instead of the free form writing there was. Unable to write anything anymore so I'm leaving this. My feedback is that you should be able to write without having to pay, subscriptions are not the way to go when it comes to creativity. |
| 2023-08-05 |  | | It went to a pay app. Now it will not let me download all my content. I can't even subscribe just to fix the issue. Hence why I am giving it one star. It keeps demanding my email password just to subscribe and it doesn't accept it each time. The problem is on poetizer's side. I must get this resolved. But I refuse to lose all my illntellectual property that took years for me to write. So they can pass it off as someone else's work. No intention to have proper leaders to aid in publishing. |
