A charming digital experience to create Blackout Poetry on the Go:

Traditionally, Blackout (Aka Erasure) Poetry consists of selecting words from an existing block of text, erasing the rest to carve out a whole new or hidden meaning.

This form of creative writing is also known by various names such as "Found Poetry", "Erasure Poetry", "Caviardage Technique", "Redaction", etc.

Repurposing / Redaction / Reordering of content stimulates the brain and enhances the ability to unlearn, thus enabling oneself to explore possibilities outside of one's own boundaries. The resulting artwork would be very diverse than from what you would do given an infinite canvas.

Art therapists use this technique in their workshops with Hikikomori (persons who exhibit extreme withdrawal from society) & autistic children.

Using the app select words from existing text, form sentences. Blackout / Dim the rest. Style and export to the image gallery or as a pdf file. Use your own photo collection as wallpaper. Share your creations on social media or optionally prune them using your favourite editing tools. All in just a couple of clicks.

Choose from a set of carefully themed templates as the backdrop for your writing.
Highlight current events, give voice to social causes, find hidden meanings, inspire new thoughts. There's no particular order though the fun happens when you create something new as opposed to just skimming words. Users have created small poems, haikus, etc.

And no - you do not have to be a writer nor a poet to create blackout poetry. And the experience is quite calming and meditative.

With each attempt a different word or phrase will catch your imagination!
With each style will capture a different mood or phrase!

Steer through a treasure house of fresh ideas and thoughts!

Embrace all the above and express on existing expressions !
Tap away, play with words and create magic! Fill your lull moments with creativity!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

4 ★It's a bit hard to get used to it at first but you can create interesting images and share them easily. It would be nice to be able to select more than 4 consecutive words though, since they count even if they're on separate lines (perhaps 5-6 at most).
1 ★this is terrible. very difficult to click on words. just highlights the chosen words and doesn't black out the other words. won't let you choose more than 4 words in a phrase either. don't get this. it is a waste of time. very few options for poems as well.
1 ★Glitchy. Menus don't make sense and operations happen randomly. Unable to select single letter words. Great idea. But app not working effectively.
5 ★Very easy to use! included design options make visually appealing blackout poetry a joy to make. thank you!
4 ★It's a functional app that exceeded expectations, but don't hold your phone in landscape or it'll glitch the app out.
2 ★Difficult to use, overly restrictive of length, and poor recognition of what word I'm clicking on.
2 ★I like the idea of the app but I can't get it to save my work
5 ★Excellent outlet for when I find an article I want to share in a different way
