| 2024-10-24 |  | | I've been using this app for a while now. Must be close to 2 years if not more. I had the thought to review it because it's clearly been helpful as I haven't deleted it yet. I read the quotes almost every day and love them. Great job to the developers. Keep doing what you're doing. |
| 2024-09-06 |  | | Honestly one of the best apps in terms of quality of content and simplicity, the quotes as well as the interface is good, it takes into account the well being of the users as well, I love using it, having used for over a year now I can say highly recommended. Lastly, I would like to thank the developers of this app. |
| 2024-06-16 |  | | I like the idea and design but there seems to be a big flaw: even when you turn off the option to translate the quotes, they still appear in English (rather than the original language). So, actually, there appears no way to disable translation... (Sorry if I'm wrong about this: a correction would be most welcome) |
| 2024-06-01 |  | | Great app, great quotes. Maybe I'm the only one experiencing this issue, but I have a hard time swiping to the next quote. Like it doesn't register swiping, so I have to repeat the action a dozen times to get to the next quote. Otherwise it's very nice, and might just be me doing something wrong. |
| 2023-11-27 |  | | I love this app but evidently they now collect my location which i am not ok with. It also says i can't delete data collected from my phone which is my right under the laws where i live. I happily pay for apps i like in exchange for not seeing ads and not having my data collected. In the process of removing all apps that do not have such a premium version. |
| 2023-09-21 |  | | My favorite notification in the list when I wake up in the morning. Attention to detail, in the style of ancient Latin speakers/writers, The Stoic notifications don't use spaces between sentences. It seems mostly to fit the maximum number of characters in the notification preview. Overall, this is a simple yet insightful, profound experience. The UX is minimal. The subject matter is well researched, well curated. The least I could do is leave a positive review. |
| 2023-09-05 |  | | I've been using this app for almost a year now. And I love how you can customize the time frames that they come up for you on your phone. As an interested techy-type gentleman who is very detail oriented, I really appreciate that every time that there's an app update, notes are given with all the details while being written in an easy to read format. Each Quote is copy-able in the Free version & the paid option includes creative and useful features. Either way, ads are not a neussance #respect |
| 2023-08-17 |  | | Hello this app is a wonderful app that I use almost daily but I have one fairly major complaint, in most cases when you try to scroll down to continue reading the quote it just switches to the next quote or the previous quote, then after that happens a few times a ad plays. So can you please fix it so that one can comfortably read a long quote without much hassle and inefficiency. |
| 2023-07-16 |  | | great app. been using it for a year or two and it's been a fun ride, would definitely recommend tostoic enthusiasts like myself. however, I do have an issue with the fullscreen mode because it doesn't change the font or text size, nor does it turn on and off the italics, both for the quote and the author. I find this quite annoying because I can't share it on social platforms while it's edited to my liking, and I can't copy the text bcs of character limitations in certain apps. Galaxy J6 2018. |
| 2023-03-23 |  | | I used it for a while because it was great to ponder some quotes early in the day. However, I uninstalled because some of the quotes and passages seem to have been cherry picked from the original literature, the most egregious example completely reversing the intended meaning of a passage from Epictetus' Discourses and Selected Writings. Not to mention is was very inconvenient to actually reference and research any quotes because the text is not selectable, therefore you can't copy and paste. |
