"iF Poems is new poetry app for the iPad, described as 'a poetry app for school-age children and for adults of any age'. It's the first great poetry app I've seen for the iPad - apologies for the spoiler but I needed to mention that right off the bat. The app includes 270 classic poems which have been carefully selected as works that the publishers feel are 'a joy to pass down the generations, to share, to educate and enjoy'. Many of the included poems have audio clips. These are read by the actors Helena Bonham Carter, Bill Nighy, Harry Enfield and Tom Hiddleston. Here are some of its other key features: You can record yourself reading a poem. You can email a poem and email your recording of a poem. You can tap on any word for a dictionary definition. You can save poems to a Favourites page. You can search by title, author, first line or by any word. You can get a dictionary definition of any word."
