I purchased the app a few weeks ago, there was an issue with the screen not sizing properly during setup. However, I reached out to the publisher, and greatly appreciated the response I got. I can now access the app after resizing my text size, and, what’s more, the publisher informed me of an updated version that would correct this that is rest for download!
Now, to find the time to start journaling; “adulting” can be SO time consuming!
I purchased the app a few weeks ago, and have finally had time to sit down and explore it.
The app opens fine (I have IOS 16. Something), I entered a first name and hit continue, then the next screen seems like it’s over layered/like a double exposure photograph of text at the bottom of the screen. Additionally, it won’t respond to any inputs once in this second in the sequence of setup screens. This is very disappointing since I was charged over $50 for an app and it won’t even setup properly.
Please fix this, I was really looking forward to this app after hearing about it on the Stoic Coffee Break podcast and joining a community of sorts that thinks a little differently.
Also, did I pay for an annual subscription or a monthly one? It was unclear on the App Store that I was even paying for the app to begin with, but 59.99/month is not sustainable for me and I’d need to cancel out if that’s the case.
Thanks.
For a first-time user setting up an account on an iPhone, this app is broken. When you get to the screen where you “Claim 50WP Points”, the app hangs after congratulating you for doing so. There doesn’t appear to be a workaround … killing the app and starting over just hangs in the same spot. Bummer.

Hi Ullrwolf --
We appreciate your feedback and we're sorry for the difficulties that you had setting up your account! We understand that this must have been a frustrating experience. We have fixed this bug, which occurred for a small subset of users with specific sizing settings on their devices.
We understand that your time is valuable. If you just send us a quick note at admin@buspeoplemedia.com so that we can identify your account, we'll make sure that your issue is resolved and do everything we can to ensure that you are happy with the service. This is a nice morning meditation prompt. Reading other people’s thoughts on it offers new perspectives as well.
everything about this app is perfect. the curation of quotes, prompts, meditations, community discussions. very thoughtfully built. it also has an exceptional UI - clean, intuitive, and featuring only what matters without the unnecessary stuff. it is a unique way to incorporate stoicism in one’s life. gamification elements really help to stay motivated and incentivized to keep the strike. highly, highly recommend!
Great way to stay connected with stoicism practice and mindset. Easy to use, unique and rewarding!
I use this app everyday to take a few minutes of time to consider a Stoic ideal and respond in kind. I like seeing other people's takes on that ideal, it helps to know we are all on the same shared path. The character limit is tight, which does help constrain and moderate what we can offer, but feels a little short.
The app needs more features, though.
We should be able to export our data if we like. The character limit should be expanded. I would also like to follow other people and see them in a feed once the app gets more users. A death clock would be a nice addon, as well as the ability to add additional meditations at night as well.
I understand the name of the app, but without adding more terms it is hard to find on the app store.
I look forward to seeing where the app goes in the future.

We're so happy to hear that you're finding the app useful in your daily practice, and that you're finding value in the community.
We appreciate your feedback and we're shipping improvements and new features weekly! I am really pleased with this app. I have been a practicing stoic for a number of years and this is the first app that has gotten me to practice journaling on a regular basis. The quotes are thoughtfully chosen. The prompts are helpful without being dogmatic. Being able to see others reactions to the quotes has been very helpful in making sure that I am moving in the right direction without the negative commentary that other apps and communities allow for. This one is a really great app!!! Bravo!!!

We love to hear that our app is making a difference for experienced users. Thank you for being a part of our community! Forum has become my companion for Stoic reflection. Its seamless interface, thoughtful prompts, and achievements make practicing Stoicism a breeze. The community engagement adds depth and insights to my reflections.
This app makes it easier for me to practice stoicism. I especially like the Meditations page. It’s great to see how other people are trying to incorporate stoicism into their lives. Recommend!
