User reviews

Fine app but could be much better

The voiceover is robotic, it is not pleasant to listen, so it doesn’t bring any value.
The translation that you have is in old English, it would be great to have more modern version.

All The Stoic Wisdom in One App

I am fantastically happy with this app despite what others “like spoiled toddlers” whine and complain over. Very in-stoic.

Broken features

I purchased this app solely for its “search” feature, in order to find passages pertinent to my particular needs at any one moment. The search feature is horribly broken, when searching for the word “virtue” in Meditations for example, only ONE instance is listed in the results. Another common word, “courage”, has ZERO results in Meditations. The feature is useless. I own paperback copies of all these texts for far more than the $1.99 I paid for the app, so to have them at my fingertips is worth the price alone, although there is another free app simply called “Stoic” that has most of these texts as well. That app has no search feature, but this one might as well not have bothered either.

Very Basic

While it's a nice collection of the stoics I'd really like to see a bit more effort put into the app. A great start would be to have a daily notification with a relevant quote.

Love this app.

I've ordered a bunch of these books on amazon (for a lot of $$)and carry some of them with me often but seem to always have my phone and love having all of these wonderful classic Stoics in my pocket! Best app on my phone!
