Stoic Library 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!

Life-changing wisdom for a pittance.

This app is invaluable to the student of Stoicism or philosophy in general. For only $.99 you can have access to most of the key texts on Stoicism, as well as a modern overview to aid the new student. Highly recommended!

Great collection of Stoicism

I do enjoy the convenience that this app offers up the classic literary awesome sauce.

The autoscroll feature is an added bonus!

Great intro to stoicism. And I do like the genuine friendship imbued in the letters, you can sense the friendship, love, admiration and respect the two gentlemen have for each other. Many lessons the letters teach are timeless and can be applied to everyday life in the here-and-now.

Awesome app, grab it!

Impressive except for in-ap purchases

What text available for free within the app. Is well organized, translated adequately, and carefully selected to contextually portray the school of stoicism properly.

Superb

Put together well, easy to navigate, couldn't ask for more.

Good read

I'm still focusing on the Seneca book and it has been good I imagine the next one will be too.

Fantastic material on Stoicism

I refer to it daily.

I like.

Not sure what the upgrade was. But I like the images for each section and the "less is more" excerpts.
The free app was great. I just bought the upgrade for the Meditations. I'm sure it will be worth it. Thanks.

Full of Great Bits

Chock full of food for thought. Easy to use and very aesthetic. I use this often

Dope

It's dope.

Brilliant

Uplifting and easy to use.

Love it!

Awesome source for the Classics of Greek & Roman philosophy! It would help to make the print resizable. But that does not hinder me from giving it a five star. THANKS for this resource!

Nice breakdown

Great format for a quick daily dose of stoicism

Generously free app

Great for quick doses of stoicism from one of the masters. Well-written app, easy to navigate, nice features (bookmarking, etc)

Duckwalk philosophy
