Reviews of Harvard Classics

  • Disappointing and terrible UX

    There’s no actual “guide” here. This app just seems to be nothing more than a list of public formation texts of books. There’s no daily reading guide like there is with the actual Harvard Classics so this app feels like a bait and switch. As someone else said I want my money back.
  • Great Promise, Poor Execution

    Just purchased; HOWEVER, all the Harvard Classics books are not identified as “Harvard Classics: Volume 1” containing (a) Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, (b) The Journal of John Woolman, (c) Fruits of Solitude … followed by “Harvard Classics: Volume 2”.

    Instead the individual books are there (maybe) but not in the order of the original Harvard Classics.

    I want my money back.
  • Great format and content but missing a crucial piece.

    This is a great app that contains a wonderful and important collection, however it fails on one key issue in that it appears to be missing Dr. Elliott's guide for completing the anthology in 15 minute/day through a set of selected passages. It would be a great improvement if this app at a minimum included a text of the guide. It would be incredible if it linked directly to those passages so that one could complete the collection using only this app.
