About Pictopoem

Thanks for using Pictopoem! Chinese poems are here. • Write in Simplified or Traditional Chinese — each is composed on its own terms, not transcoded from the other. • Eight forms to choose from: five- and seven-character jueju, lüshi, ci, ancient-style verse, modern verse, doggerel, and a single line. • Chinese poems stand vertically by default, set in an embedded kai typeface made for verse, with adjustable line spacing. Also new • Not in the mood for a poem? The new one-line mode writes a single sentence meant to stay with you — in English, Japanese or Chinese. • Your poems no longer have to follow your phone's language. Pick it under Settings → Poem Language, so you can get a haiku on an English phone, or an English poem on a Japanese one. • Japanese poems now stand vertically by default, and you can tune the line spacing to taste. • Haiku, tanka, waka, chōka, senryū — and every Chinese form — now come with a one-line explanation, so you know what you're choosing. • Print your poem cards straight from the app with AirPrint, and shared images are sharper. • A new app icon. • Open source licenses for the bundled typefaces now live under Settings. Fixed • The Age Type setting now actually reaches the poem — it had been silently dropped before it ever got there. • A garbled font name in the font picker, and a typo in the Japanese text on shared poem cards.
