Poetry Foundation app

I've been trying to fill my tablet with useful and inspirational writing apps, rather than games. There's actually not that much that's useful, outside of word processors or note-taking, but I did find the Poetry app by The Poetry Foundation. It presents you with a random list of poetry to read, although I'd prefer if it just presented you with a single poem. There's a mix of old and new, and if you don't like what you get, you can spin for a new selection. Definitely one to download if you want a poetry fix.

There are a few apps that claim to provide writing prompts, but I haven't tried any of those. Also several white-noise generators, which can be quite handy if you don't want the distraction of music. And, of course, I've downloaded the Kindle app so I can read writing books (which are the only ones I've downloaded). Probably that's more than I need - I never used to carry a library around with me!
