### 5/5 — Mr

*2024-05-07, version 1.6.6*

Reminds me to chill out and relax with great quotes

### 5/5 — The best for mindfulness quotes.

*2024-01-27, version 1.6.6*

Tried a few but love the content of sourced quotes and visuals of this. Its a smaller developer so happy to pay. Exactly what I was after.

### 5/5 — 3.5 Stars for accessibility, 5 stars overall.

*2023-06-20, version 1.6.6*

This app has been exactly what I’ve been looking for! I only wish I could increase the mindfulness reminders to more than three per day. It also works fairly well with voiceover mode for persons who use screen readers. The reminders are kind and gentle and I’m very grateful to have it!

### 5/5 — Been using for years!

*2023-06-08, version 1.6.6*

This app is great! For years it’s provided me with daily inspiration & reminders. Customizable & always available! Couldn’t love it more. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Dopest, cleanest, best quote app around

*2023-04-02, version 1.6.6*

Pics and quotes are always on. Always fresh. Always inspiring. Everything about  app is clean, simple and easy to use. I’m into it. Been into it, in fact for YEARS now. Get you some too!  Just a sweet little dose of wisdom whenever I need it.

### 5/5 — Reminders

*2023-03-21, version 1.6.6*

I like getting the intermittent reminders.

### 5/5 — Daily necessity

*2023-03-11, version 1.6.6*

In an age of information war and constant debate, this app provides the spiritual nourishment needed to remain present in the moment and grateful for the small things.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2023-02-22, version 1.6.6*

Probably the only app that’s really useful on your smartphone. Everything else can be avoided and is most likely a distraction. This one is really been helpful as it uses good prompters to remind you to stay connected with your true self.

### 5/5 — Something to ponder everyday

*2023-01-26, version 1.6.6*

🏄

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2022-10-27, version 1.6.6*

I really love reading these. Sometimes it gives me a lift that I need, sometimes it gives me the exact insights I’m looking for, sometimes it gives me something to share with someone else who needs a lift or an insight.

### 5/5 — FAV app- use EVERYDAY

*2022-08-17, version 1.6.6*

I have used this app for over 3 years, atleast. The quotes are some of the best, and they keep coming. I love that I can save them to my favorites as well as set up Daily mindfulness with an alarm 3 times per day to keep my mind filled with positive vibes! I hope the app eventually expands with more goodness, whatever it may be because it has become such an important part of my daily routine!! Wake up> chill app

### 5/5 — Redundancy

*2022-07-06, version 1.6.6*

Making a habit out of daily quotes, this app has brought solace to my morning routine

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2022-03-15, version 1.6.5*

This app is fantastic! I wanted something to remind me through the day to be present and Chill is spot on!

### 5/5 — CHILL APP

*2022-02-25, version 1.6.5*

I just love this app!!! Keeps me grounded when time gets tough,which is a lot!!! Thank you for creating this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Great app, questionable ads, especially for a mindfulness app

*2021-09-23, version 1.6.5*

This is a delightful app with lovely quotes and reminders. I appreciate the content, variety, and the option for pop up reminded throughout the day. 

For the creators, I keep seeing the ad “Is he cheating?” In big, bold text at the bottom (and similar types of ads). This is more bold that the quote, and although mindfulness does require choice and awareness in my thoughts, it’s less than helpful to have a wonderful mindfulness reminder competing with a fear campaign in the ad on the same page. I recognize and understand that these ads are necessary to generate funds/support for the developers, but is it possible to choose sponsors more mindfully? 
Thank you for the consideration. And thank you for the simple and sweet app. 

P.S. After writing this, I dug a little and found that I could pay $2.99 to remove the ads altogether. Worth it :)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stupid quotes

*2019-11-26*

This app used to have awesome quotes and I gave it another chance for like 2 weeks but every single quote is by a.) 90% of the time someone you’ve NEVER or will you EVER hear of and b.) absolutely useless or completely stupid quotes. I’ve finally broken down and deleted the app. Won’t waste my time with giving it a chance again. Like I said the quotes used to be awesome and whoever decided to change things up made a grave mistake. Download the Buddhist quote app or Bible quote apps. I mean seriously, anything but wasting your time on this. Reading these no name quotes is like reading fake quotes from the office know it all. “...... Hey Jessica, don’t forget that we cannot love ourselves unless we touch each other first.... deep huh?” No. Not deep at all. Dumb af. Bye.

### 2/5 — Only 1 a day and many quotes are false

*2023-04-24, version 1.6.6*

This app is just trying to get your money. They will only give you one quote a day without buying a subscription. I’ve also noticed a lot of their quotes are fake/false. For example, a quote about the Buddha saying that “all we are is a result of what we have thought…”. I am a Buddhist, but anybody who’s done 15 minutes of research knows that that is not what the Buddha said. This quote is a common misunderstanding and inaccuracy that you find others on the Internet making too.

### 2/5 — Where are the women?

*2020-01-10, version 1.5.10*

Although I appreciate the quotes and inspiration provided, there are almost none from women. This perpetuates a context that leaves the words and wisdom of the women of past and present out of the conversation. To help us be truly mindful, you too, need to be mindful of presenting wisdom that is gender diverse.

### 3/5 — Lovely and minimal, but after a year the daily quotes just repeat

*2022-10-25, version 1.6.6*

I’ve used this app consistently for a year, and I can say that I enjoy it much more than some of the other similar apps (like some other reviews noted, those tend to be more Hallmark-y). I like the simplicity, the reminders to turn my focus back to my center, etc. 

However, now that I’ve used it for a year, I’ve realized that the daily quotes and accompanying images repeat on a cycle. I know this for certain, as I had saved a good number of them on the first pass, and now when I open my daily quote, it’s often already saved. In addition, I had taken screencaps of some quotes to share with others, so I can see that the same quote is displayed on the same day this year. 

With all the Zen and Transcendentalist writing out there, I suppose I’d have expected the cycle to at least last more than a year!

### 3/5 — Love it

*2019-10-14, version 1.5.9*

Love the daily quotes and the ones that appear 3 times a day, just wish they could give some small explanation with the daily quote. Also wish there was a way to go through your 3 quotes on the app even days after the way you’re able to with the daily quote

### 3/5 — Notifications with more variation

*2018-01-23, version 1.4.1*

I really like the app, the quotes, and the notifications that come up. I also really like the sound it makes. However, I wish there were a few more variations in the notifications. It feels like I get the same ones every few times.

### 3/5 — Very simple with no features

*2015-08-09, version 1.1.1*

Not much to this. Was expecting to be able to set daily reminders based on a review but that doesn't seem to be a feature.

### 4/5 — Nice

*2024-10-19, version 1.6.6*

Simple and interesting. Some of the quotes have been helpful.

### 4/5 — Recycled Quotes

*2022-12-08, version 1.6.6*

I’ve had the app for over a year now and I’ve seen the same ones a lot. I wish they’d add more and turn off the loop. I like the app but it’s getting old

### 4/5 — Inspirational app !✨🌷

*2022-03-19, version 1.6.6*

Great app as always. Long awaited update. Hopefully the speed at which the widget refreshs improves. Otherwise, no complaints. I look forward to my bird sounds each morning! (notifications). Its my favorite.

I love the simplicity of the thoughts, yet so powerful!

### 5/5 — Genuinely amazing

*2026-03-16, version 1.6.6*

This app has gotten me through many struggles sometimes daily whenever I felt defeated, alone, heavily identifying with my mind, a notification from Chill would pop up and remind me to take a second and ground myself and then its like hey, it’s not so bad.

### 5/5 — Starting each day with chill

*2026-03-01, version 1.6.6*

I love this app. Incredible quotes paired with exquisite photos. Also excellent mindfulness prompts. I have started my day with this app for three years and counting.

### 5/5 — Very grateful for this sweet app

*2025-03-25, version 1.6.6*

It’s simple, consistent, and has made a huge difference in my days. The reminders to be in the moment I’m in, to accept “here now” are vital. I love when a reminder pops up in a meeting; it’s often something we all benefit from hearing. On a platform where so many apps try to be everything for everyone, I’m grateful for this simple, effective app.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-03-14, version 1.6.6*

Lovely simple reminder to breathe and be present.

This is the best of the mindfulness apps - marvelous collection of sayings, beautiful art/photos, and blessedly simple. The best!

### 5/5 — A necessity

*2024-10-12, version 1.6.6*

Chill is a necessity for my life. Thank you.
