  • Fantastic content and great interface

    This app makes the content from School of Life a lot more accessible and enables you to track your progress through various topics. The ability to save articles for later is also really useful. The app is beautifully designed and it’s really easy to navigate despite having loads of content. For £5 a month it’s a no-brainer - a wonderful resource filled with insightful, reassuring and kindly ideas.

    I’d welcome an option to select and copy the text directly from the app which is not possible at the moment - in case you want to save or share a specific passage. The app is also basically useless as soon as you lose internet connection which could be improved by some form of offline functionality.

  • Nice App- But all it wants is payment..

    I have been a fan and follower of the School of Life and Book of Life for many years so I thought this app would be great. But you can even read or view anything without being asked to pay. A waste of time downloading it on my phone. Real shame as there is a lot this app can off to people, if it was more balanced in what was free to view and what was not.

  • Just wonderful

    I have many of the small SOL printed books but this app is fantastic at putting much of this content and their articles together. Well worth the subscription fee. The small pieces of knowledge in the articles are great to just read and ponder every morning. Thank you SOL.

  • Equanimity in an app

    My ‘go to’ resource for mental and emotional recalibration.
    Life is a mystery so The School of Life’s interpretations are deeply healing and thought provoking.

    The hardback books are beautifully packaged and the pages are a joy to keep turning. Have especially enjoyed ‘Variations of Melancholy’

  • Excellent resource, needs dark mode

    I lean on the wisdom and encouragement in this app daily! The subscription is well worth it. It could really improve by having a dark mode available. It’ much too bright for my tired eyes, especially at night or during insomnia when I need the app most (even with phone settings at the lowest brightness with blue light dimmed).

    Thank you for this great review! We're constantly adding new features and we're happy to announce that a dark mode will be coming in a future release at some point in the next few months. We're working hard to make the app better and better for you so keep taking the updates and we'll keep releasing them. Thank you!
  • No free version

    As much as the app aesthetic is nice, there’s almost no features for free users. Every tab/link redirected me to purchasing a subscription. I’ve now deleted the app.

  • Lovely app, video needs subtitle

    Love the app in general, a lot of helpful content for self growth. I do hope all videos can have subtitle for accessibility reason. Please consider this!

  • My life therapist on-the-go!

    If you’ve enjoyed school of life videos and are craving more depth and well organized content, go ahead and get this app. Read about a topic or two on the train or before falling asleep and you’ll begin to enjoy your screen time like never before without any regrets.

    Hi Shruti - Thank you for such a great review! We're delighted to hear you're enjoying the app and we can't wait to continue to add content and features for you!
  • Love it

    When I feel bad, want to understand others or when I want to work on myself, I go on the School of life app. I was watching a lot of contents on the channel of School of life. If you love the YouTube videos, you will probably love the app! (Articles + keep track of your reading + videos + podcasts)

    The only bad aspect would be that I would like to read the article in French, but still great contents!
