These mobile apps provide a massive list of writers from Kavita Kosh and Gadya Kosh databases. Once a user taps on a poet of choice –list of all the available poems of that poet appears –then the user can select a poem for reading.

On personalization front, apps provides an option to create a “favorites” list of poets as well as poems. This feature allows users to reach their favorite poems just on a tap.

Although the app is compatible with Gingerbread version of Android –but it is recommended to use it on Jellybean or above to be able to use all the features.

Lalit Kumar, director of Kavita Kosh project, told TechWelkin that very soon similar apps for Gadya Kosh website also will be released. Gadya Kosh is a sister website of Kavita Kosh that collects Indian prose literature. Lalit mentioned that these apps have been developed by Ankit Agarwal.

      We are working on that. But as Kavita Kosh is a voluntary project, we face many constraints. But now Kavita Kosh is a mobile-friendly website. You can browse it in your mobile browser.

      Dear Dhananjay, developing a mobile app requires funds. At present, I do not have funds to develop Gadya Kosh app. But I am trying. I don’t know when we will be able to release the Android app for Gadya Kosh. Please bear with us.

      Well, Neelima, I am glad you liked Kavita Kosh. But as you may know, this project works on voluntary contributions. We run even the server of Kavita Kosh with difficulty. We are trying our best to find money for getting an iPhone version developed. But so far no luck!

    I think, it would be better if there would be a single mobile web application or hybrid application instead of separate application for each platform. As I am saying like this on the basis of my analysis (1. There is no need to accesses the underlying low level hardware . As the functionality of this apps is utilizing processor intensive task. 2. Maintenance and development is tedious in case of native apps for all device. 3. Look & Feel of application UI might be different as per platform ). Hope you might have some other key point for choosing to develop separate apps for all platform.
