Lyceum is a place for people who love knowledge. Inspired by the school Aristotle founded in Athens, it carries that spirit on through journal pages, conversations, books, essays, and classes held in person and online. The app is in Vietnamese. SỔ TAY (NOTEBOOK) Each day the Notebook opens with a small question, such as "How is the sky where you are today?". Answer it, or write something else on today's journal page: a passage from a book worth keeping, a few lines jotted down before they slip away. Every page carries its date and can hold a photo; if you allow location access, the app also notes the city. Pages are arranged by month, and each one can stay private ("Chỉ mình tôi", only me) or be shared with everyone. Now and then the Notebook brings back an old journal page, such as one written three months ago. The "Hôm nay" (Today) widget on the Home Screen opens the day's page straight away. ĐỐI THOẠI (DIALOGUE) Something you keep coming back to? A question still without an answer? A view you would like to talk through? Start a discussion. Others can reply right below it, or carry on from one particular reply. Discussions and replies can include photos, with a source if you wish. BÀI VIẾT (ARTICLES) Read essays and series from the Editorial Board and members, from a reading of Plato's Republic to a translation on the technical debt AI creates for mathematics. Articles have footnotes: tap a number to read the note, then return to the exact paragraph you were on. SÁCH (BOOKS) Keep track of the books you want to read, are reading and have read. Give them stars, note a few lines of thought and see what others make of the same book. Save the passages you like to the Notebook so you can find them again. SỰ KIỆN (EVENTS) See the schedule of classes, discussions and writing sessions at Lyceum, or join the ones held online. Sign up in the app. Paid events can be paid with a VietQR code. E-tickets carry a code scanned at the door, work with Apple Wallet and remind you before the start. NOTIFICATIONS Know when someone replies to you or mentions you, and when there is a new article or event. Notifications about articles and events can be turned on or off in Settings. GETTING STARTED Sign in with Apple, Google or email. Articles and discussions are open to everyone, signed in or not. ## Is Lyceum safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Lyceum. ## Is Lyceum legit?

Explicit or revealing photos cannot be posted. A picture it is unsure of, such as a nude painting or statue, shows only to the member who posted it, marked as waiting, until an editor has looked. The post itself goes up at once with its words. PROFILE PICTURES A new profile picture is read the same way. While it waits, everyone still sees the old one. ONLY ON MY PAGE A notebook page can now be kept Chỉ trên trang (only on my page): anyone who opens the member's page can read it and followers still see it, but it stays off Bài đăng mới (New posts). The public choice is now called Mọi người (Everyone). WHO OPENED IT Every discussion card now shows the face and name of the member who opened it. Plus a few small fixes. ### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-28 FOLLOWING The Circle room in Đối thoại is now Đang theo dõi (Following). Follow someone and their public posts, discussions, book reviews and replies appear there, beside your circle's posts. OPENS AT ONCE Đối thoại shows what it had last time straight away, then updates. PHOTOS GO WITH THEIR PAGE Whoever can read a notebook page now sees its photo too. PHOTOS ON REVIEWS Photos with a book review now show on its card, in Cảm nhận mới and Đang theo dõi. When writing a review, tap the photo icon to add up to four. GESTURES THAT FEEL AT HOME Swipe back from anywhere, swipe a line left to reply, double-tap to heart, and hold the app icon to start writing. A NEW LOOK A new typeface, with even sizes and spacing on every screen. Plus many small fixes. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-26 YOUR CIRCLE People who follow each other are in each other's circle. A notebook page can now be kept for your circle alone ("Vòng tròn"), you can open a discussion just for your circle, and you hear when someone in it writes a new page. TWO ROOMS IN ĐỐI THOẠI Switch between "Vòng tròn" (Circle) and "Mọi người" (Everyone) right under the title. The circle's room gathers your circle's posts and discussions, with a dot when there is something new. "Mọi người" adds two shelves: "Bài đăng mới" (new posts) and "Cảm nhận mới" (new reviews). Plus faster photo uploads and many fixes. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-25 PHOTOS ON YOUR PAGE Add up to six photos to your profile, each answering a question such as "Một khung cảnh tôi nhớ nhất…" (A view I remember most…), with a short line if you like. They stand between the parts of your page, and others can start a discussion from a photo. BOOKS A new Books tab to find your next read: shelves for what many members are reading this month, editors' picks, books being read now, new reviews and more. Each book's page shows its readers, reviews, discussions and notebook pages. Rate and review books right on your phone. NOTEBOOK Each notebook page chooses "Hiện trên trang" (on my page) or "Chỉ mình tôi" (only me) as you write it. Your profile shows six pages at a time, with "Xem thêm" (More). Plus many fixes, and a steadier sign-in on iPhone. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-23 TODAY'S QUESTION, ANSWERED TOGETHER Write your answer to today's question in the Notebook, then share it. Once your answer is shared, read the others given that day, give one a heart, or reply to start a discussion with its writer. FOLLOWING - When someone follows you, a "Theo dõi lại" (Follow back) button appears in the notification and on their page. - Profile pages show both followers and following. New followers carry a small dot. - Remove someone from your followers without blocking them. They are not notified. - See it in Notifications when someone you follow starts a discussion, replies in one, publishes their page, reviews a book or shows they came to an event. NEW DISCUSSIONS New discussions now reach your phone: straight away when someone you follow starts one, and at 8 each morning for the others you haven't read yet. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
