What a hidden gem

Agree with everything the top review said. Such incredible amount of effort and details in the app, please let me pay for it to send my tribute to the creator of this app!

Truly well done and enlightening

The best app on the AppStore, not joking.

I love this app

Absolutely delightful. First of all to have an app be free and with no other places to spend money is oddly refreshing.

But this app is delightfully designed, super educational and easy to use with lots of fun unnecessary features. AR filters? Cool why not.

The social media angle to its design is super charming as well. Love that they all have usernames. And somewhat ironic considering this app barely uses the internet, which is again, oddly refreshing.

The one thing I could wish for with this app is I’m hoping eastern philosophers are coming at some point, but based on the fact that the app hasn’t been updated in a year I’m guessing not :/ oh well fingers crossed anyways hope someone seees this

Superb way to use the phone

I wish there were more apps like this. This is an absolutely great way to use the phone. Normally I’d mindlessly match gems up or browse Reddit or doom scroll the news. This app makes me feel better about staring into my screen. And links to books? Nice touch. Great app. Make more, and charge for them!

This is Amazing!

I am rather new the study of philosophy and was delighted to find this easy to use and engaging app! Personally I was a little sad that that there was not full access to the works of greats such as Socrates. I would love to see more audio books and writings in general. All this said I love the concept and hope to see more content added!

This App Deserves More Than 5 stars

Wow, unbelievably well designed app. Organized and aesthetically pleasing. Summaries and philosophers main ideas are written concisely. Quotes are referenced to multiplied philosophers.

I think the best feature is that when you select on any major work the philosopher has written, it would automatically take you to the ebook to purchase. I also enjoy some of the free books implemented within.

Major kudos! Keep up the good work.

Really love this app!

Thank you for creating this amazing app! I love the wide range library of philosophers, the possibility to search for subjects by the theme. Also, there is a given connection about how the ideas evolved and there is a possibility to Mark quotes which you liked! amazing! Thank you once again!

Amazing app! Intuitive, fun, and educational

Love this app so much. Really wonderful idea and execution. Only issue is if you could fix the quiz format because it doesn’t show up well on iPhone 6. The names at the bottom cannot be seen despite the “show names” setting being turned on.

Amazing

This app is actually amazing, cant wait for more content

Brilliant

Although I am new to philosophy and haven’t looked much into it, this app was a perfect gateway into it. I’d highly recommend this app to anyone and everyone. (Note to devs: I think it would be awesome to implement a feature where you can see your friends (or other people’s) favorites philosophers and teachings. Maybe this would be a cool way for people to spread their own philosophies and or messages!)
