The Love Book

The Love Book app - The Guardian Best 20 Apps this week, recommended by Vogue, Elle, Telegraph, Mail and The Sunday Times.

Here are gorgeous words on love narrated by the award-winning actors Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hiddleston, Damian Lewis, Gina Bellman and Helen McCrory.

The Love Book app is a new interactive anthology of timeless poems, short stories, quotes and letters, all inspired by that most noble (and most troublesome) of emotions love.

We are thrilled to announce that the app has reached Number 1 Top Paid App on the App Store Books section in 5 countries!

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 Dickinson, Maya Angelou, Dorothy Parker 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 All Time Favourite).

Reviews

National Poetry Day say, "One of the best poetry apps weve ever used. 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."
