### 5/5 — Daily Quote

*2019-07-01, version 3.1*

I love the daily quote. I look forward each day to meditating on the quote. Great app.

### 2/5 — Quotes recycle very often

*2019-06-08, version 3.1*

There aren’t many quotes. They just are recycled over and over. It seems like there are about 20 or so quotes that reoccur. The concept of an app with zen quotes is great but it would be nice to see more quotes.

### 5/5 — Emotional Nourishment

*2019-03-05, version 3.1*

Great, simple truths to nourish one’s soul.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-11-15, version 3.1*

Good app, great quotes

*2017-07-20, version 3.1*

I like the simplicity.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2016-09-16, version 3.1*

I love how simple this app is. The option to share a quote via text, Etc. is also really handy. This app helps me achieve moments of serenity in a busy day.

### 5/5 — Just perfect

*2016-05-26, version 3.1*

This is a great way to start the day. Like a little bell of awakening.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2016-05-04, version 3.1*

Very simple, clean app

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2016-02-19, version 3.1*

I used to love this app and looked forward to the daily quote popping up on my push each morning. Then I updated the app and upgraded the quote package for $3. Ever since, I don't get daily quote pop up alerts no matter what settings I adjust! Very annoying.

### 5/5 — Zen

*2015-07-14, version 3.1*

They pop up at the best times. They help one not get too lost in details of everyday life.
