Eliminating the Translations Was A Bad Idea
I’ve downgraded my rating from a five to a two because the latest app update eliminated the various translations. In previous app versions, tapping the book icon enabled you to choose from several different translations. You could read the entire book in a particular translation. Or you could a chapter over again from several different translations and receive deeper insights. The one translation that remains is generic. The app no longer has value, so I am deleting it. The app had a good run and this is a reminder that change is inevitable and all things come to an end.Show lessFae Goddess
Recently downgraded significantly, but still a good app
App works great, nothing excessive, very clean, very easy to navigate. The app used to have four separate translations of the Tao Te Ching, and the developer has replaced them with one version now, probably because of copyright issues, which is disappointing. I really appreciated having multiple interpretations to switch through, to understand and experience the text in different ways. Anyway, the app is still solid, and the current translation seems good to me. I would still recommend the app to those looking for a very lightweight, simple way to read the Tao Te Ching on mobile.Show lessHydrangeas00
New update ruined it
I have used this app for at least a year now and have found a lot of peace from it. However, the new update which wiped the array of translation options has completely ruined it for me. I do not know which translation I was using, but it was much easier to read.
I would be willing to pay for a premium version of the app with restored features.Show lessDuality_Gaming
The most recent update got rid of other translations
This has been a five star app until the update. Now I can’t read from the translation that made the most sense; i think it was called the “Gia-Feng”. This new solo translation isn’t as profound. Quite watered down in my opinion. Bring back the option to change translations!!!Marz909
New translation is garbage
After the recent update removed all the previous translation, this app is basically useless, because the new translation is unusable. It contains words that don’t even exist in the English language, like “rignumber” or “insnumbere” (both found in Ch. 3).
Is this some sort of April Fool’s joke that’s a week too late? I’ve been using this app for a long time but unfortunately since I cannot undo this update, my only choice left is to delete it.Show lessbender_unit

The app is perfect, not overwhelming and no ads, offers different translations, etc., BUT it doesn’t save your place when you’re finished reading and kicks you back to the introduction, so you have to just guess what chapter you were on.kevin_morehouse
Need page marker and highlighter.
The app is easy to understand. Drawback, it doesn’t have a way to mark page for reading flow, nor does it have a highlighter feature on favorite sayings and way to write notes on favorite sayings. Overall, great app.Wagon-burner.
Perfect ✔︎
I thank you for this app many times over. Mitchell’s is my favorite translation. I carry the little book when the battery’s dead. (It *would* be nice to allow landscape orientation on my iPad but I can live with what is.)fjpoblam
Amazing
Having this app has been such a blessing. Instead of habitually opening instagram, I’ve found myself opening the Tao Te Ching, which is a much better habit to form on every level.Tsultrim Nyima

The Tao app that can be named is not the eternal Tao app… that being said, this version comes directly from the Tao Te Ching translation by Stephen Mitchell. Nothing more, nothing less. The app developer completed their work and then let it go, and that is why it is eternal.Deezledore
