App summary

Analyze keywords

A set of offline tools to help with writing poems (currently only English is supported):

* a rhyming dictionary, using the Carnegie Mellon University pronunciation dictionary.
* a thesaurus, using the WordNet thesaurus.
* a dictionary, using the WordNet dictionary.
* a screen where you can enter your poem text, have it read aloud back to you by the device's text-to-speech engine, and see the word/character count.

The dictionaries are built in the app. No internet connection is required to use them.

The app is offline: your data is only stored locally on your device, unless you choose to export or share it. The Poet Assistant app doesn’t send your data to any server.

This app is open source: https://github.com/caarmen/poet-assistant

Permissions:
* Since 1.5.0, the app has the "run at startup" permission for the "Word of the day" feature. If you enable this feature in the settings, when the device reboots, the app makes sure the "word of the day" notification is still scheduled.

Looking for other languages?

This app only contains dictionary data for English. If you are looking for other languages, please contact the developer.

Note: This is the original Poet Assistant app. It is completely free, truly offline (no internet permission), no ads, and no in-app purchases.

I like this app and use it quite often. However, there are a few issues that could use fixing. For example, sometimes I get nonsense words when I search for rhymes. They don't exist and sound like made-up words that only come up in the search to rhyme with the search word. It would help if those were filtered and removed. Also, the search results are limited to 500 matches, which is great most of the time but would be better if there was no limit. Other than that, it's a good app!

Been using this app for 6 years now without issue or complaint. It's very heplful for writing lyrics just as it is to quickly search up a new word while reading and get a good understanding on it. The app is well laid out having tabs for rhymes, synonyms/antonyms, and definitions for the searched word in any way the word can be used (adjective, noun, etc.) It also has a neat Word of the Day tab that can only be accessed via a drop-down menu, which I like because it keeps the "home page" clean.

I'm going to give it 5 stars because it does exactly what it should and does it with ease; no ads, no internet connection. It's great. If you write or study this is a must have app. My request is this: 1. I'd like to see the back button not close out of the app, but rather go back to the last selection or menu you've tapped. 2. If like to see the rhyme section have looser options and rhyme schemes (alternative option to toggle). If your a poet, most rhymes aren't going to be precise. Thanks!
