The Love Book interactive app invites you to read and hear great words on love and even record your own version to share across your social networks.

The actors read work from writers including William Shakespeare, J.K. Rowling, Emily Bronte, Maya Angelou, Dorothy Parker, Rumi and E E Cummings.

The Love Book app is created by Allie Esiri, the co-founder and creator of the acclaimed iF Poems app (Apple’s Education: Editors Choice All Time Favourite App).

National Poetry Day say, "The best poetry app ever.... Particularly good for Adrian Moles (male AND female) stuck for words to express themselves & their hopeless passions. Like having a little Cyrano de Bergerac on permanent stand-by in the palm of your hand."

Pros and cons of The Love Book app for iPhone and iPad

The Love Book app good for

Not all year have I spent better money than on this! A feeble attempt, I know, but Emma Watson and Tom Hiddleston do superb jobs, Ive yet to listen to the others and explore the rest, Im really looking forward to this!

This collection of poems is truly amazing. The app is well designed and fully functional. The recitations are a wonder to the ears !

I only bought the app because I was told the audio version of Desiderata read by Tom Hiddleston would be available and it is not. Could this be added please?

This is an awesome app! Reason for only four stars is that it is constantly crashing. But besides that it is totally worth it!

This is fun and easy to use. You have the option of just reading the poems yourself or hearing them read by actors such as Tom Hiddleston and Helena Bonham Carter. I just wish that all the poems, letters, and prose were read by the actors and not just a select few. Otherwise, a great collection.

The poems were read by talented actors who injected emotions and personalities into the words, bringing the poems to life. I wasnt much of a poem person, but now I want to explore poetry. Love the app! (Please have more poems read thanks =) )

Some bad moments

Except that it consistently crashes when I try and get past any of the main menus

This app is absolutely amazing. The simple design accents the beauty of each work making the seamless experience resonate with the reader/listener. Thank you for sharing your ingenious idea with the world!! Sincerely, Amanda

This is an amazing app! I initially bought it for the Tom Hiddleston readings (which are worth the $2.99 and then some). My only suggestion is that it needs to be expanded!

This is a great app mainly thanks to Tom Hiddleston, but the Now poem by Robert browning wont work and that makes me sad because its my favorite poem!! I hope you guys can fix this one bug!

Not enough of Helena Bonham Carter but I love the app! At least shes in it Im happy!

This app is beautiful, filled with wonderful poems read by enchanting voices like Tom Hiddleston, but, it keeps crashing! Please fix this bug!
