## What is QOTD?

QOTD is your trusty reading sidekick that simplifies the way you capture and save your favorite book quotes. 
It also lets you share them with the people that matter to you most.

Use your device’s camera to scan interesting ideas you read in books and convert them to digital text.
The quotes you save are added to your collection and can easily be shared on social media platforms.
QOTD also regularly sends you notifications containing a random quote from your collection for your daily dose of inspiration.


LOG IT:

• Log quotes automatically by using the camera on your iPhone or iPad to take a photo of a page from a book, a print of any kind or from a screen and then cropping it to frame the desired quote. 
QOTD will convert the image into digital text using image recognition technology (OCR).

• Alternatively, you can convert images of text that you upload from your photo library.

• Log quotes manually or tweak a previously saved one by typing in or editing the text field.

• Lastly, you can specify the author, source material and page number of every quote you log.


ORGANIZE IT:

• Simply create a new folder with a tap and give it a name to better organize your collection of quotes.

• Start populating your folders with quotes as you read.

• Bookmark the quotes you like most to have them saved in your Bookmarks folder.

• Browse the contents of a folder by scrolling through a seamless feed of quotes.

• Look up any quote in your collection using the search bar.

• Use the swipe feature on a quote to delete it, edit it or move it to a different folder.

• Use the swipe feature on a folder to delete or rename it.


SHARE IT:

• Use the share button located at the top of each quote to easily share your quotes in one of multiple formats: 

	1- As text, 
	2- As a single image (for Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and others), 
	3- As multiple images for longer quotes, in a format designed for social media platforms with post size restrictions such as Instagram.


GET INSPIRED:

• Receive notifications containing a random quote from your collection up to three times per day to keep you inspired.


SETTINGS:

• Enable or disable receiving all notifications or simply receiving them at specific times of the day: morning, afternoon and evening.

• Enable or disable saving the images you scan to your photo library.

• Back up and restore your collection to your Dropbox account.


Happy Reading!

### 5/5 — Sharing is Top-Notch

*2025-05-20*

Best quotes collector out there,  great sharing feature. Would like to have tags instead of folders, though.

### 3/5 — Syncing Across Devices

*2024-10-10*

This is a cool app, but the bummer is that it does not sync across iOS devices.  If it did, it would be a reallly great app.  Not being able to see the quotes I might have captured on my phone, on my laptop is a little bit of a letdown.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-03-11*

So far I am enjoying this app and think it will be a great place to store all of my favorite quotes!

### 4/5 — Wish there was a widget

*2024-02-24*

The way I use this is by putting inspiration/education affirmations in one place. I don’t really like the that it uses notifications to show me my quotes, but I would love a widget that I can put on my Home Screen and have it shift through my quotes like every hour. And if I could choose the colors of that widget would be perfect

### 1/5 — Garbled text

*2023-11-03*

I am not sure why people like this app. I have tried to capture quotes from two different books and when  the app turns the photo of the quote to text, the words are all out of order. It will take much less time to type them myself.

### 4/5 — Great so far, only one request for development!

*2023-05-05, version 5.1*

So far I’m really enjoying this app and I think it will be so helpful as I love reading and collecting quotes but haven’t had a systematic way to do that - before now! 
I’d love to be able to change the image design so I can use it for my business’ social media. I’d like this so that it isn’t always the same and so that the image can reflect/link with the quote.

### 1/5 — Does not sync

*2023-03-16*

I really want to like this app, but it doe snot sync accross devices. That really drags down the usability.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2023-03-07, version 5.1*

Been using this for a while now. Lovely clean interface, intuitive, OCR works beautifully. It was the only app I could find that would give me reminders of quotes that I personally had collected, as opposed to being peppered with random pretty-sounding one-liners from the internet. My only feature requests would be the ability to add emphasis to the quotes (italics, bold), and the option to choose how many quote notifications you get in a day. Otherwise, very happy with my purchase.

### 3/5 — Just one thing missing

*2023-02-12*

If only this app synchronized via the cloud across iPhone and iPad!
Taking the photo with the phone is much more efficient, but using the quotes so mich better on iPad. I’d pay more for the app if it synced!

**Developer response:** Thank you for using QOTD and for the feedback.
To clear up any misunderstanding, QOTD does not automatically sync between devices.
You can manually back up your data on Dropbox from one device by accessing the settings screen and tapping the "Back Up Now" button.
To sync your data to other devices, you can launch the app on those devices and access the settings screen and tap the "Restore Now" button.
Please contact us at info@sudokill.me if you have any further issues syncing up your data.

Thank you once again.

### 2/5 — Can’t back up or access from iPad

*2023-01-30, version 5.1*

In principle the ability t scan, OCR, and file quotes is extremely useful. Maybe I’m missing something but what I scan on ne device does not appear on the other. And even though I’ve connected the app with Dropbox I can’t back up.
