For sure would recommend ### 5/5 — Delivers *2024-04-17* The app gives me good quotes. Would be helpful if the quote could be sent as notifications. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-01-08, version 1.3.2* Would be cool if I could favourite and keep some of the quotes And have a widget on my Home Screen of the daily quote ### 5/5 — Daily Stoicism In Bite Size Chunks *2023-03-07, version 7* Love getting a new quote each day from this app ### 5/5 — Amazing Find *2023-03-02, version 7* Setting up with this app has been great. I have it set for every morning around half an hour after I typically wake., it gives me those messages that get you started on your day and can broaden your mind definitely found it to be something that gets my mind more at peace and at that gets me thinking about possibilities too ### 5/5 — Great idea and implementation *2022-08-19, version 1.0* Wow - what an app, as a Stoic fan I really like the idea of getting a daily message with some inspirational or profound meaning that I can ponder through the day. Also a clean design makes it fee very relaxing to use - 10/10 ### 5/5 — Daily dose of wisdom! *2022-08-18, version 1.0* Love getting a daily dose of stoic wisdom from this app - I use it alongside the Daily Stoic book and love the digital version as its always at hand ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dev unresponsive, notifications broken *2026-06-18, version 2.4.0* Literally most of the point of the app, with its up to 5 daily notifications, is essentially broken. Tried emailing the dev, talking to him on LINKEDIN even. Nothing. ### 1/5 — The adverts cheapen the message *2024-01-10, version 1.3.2* As stated above ### 2/5 — Pay to update life expectancy??? *2025-03-14* To make my life expectancy longer than 80 years requires a paid premium membership. Nah. ### 3/5 — Calendar Doesn’t Work *2024-11-26* Ever since I went into my user information and updated my birthday and life expectancy, the calendar goes black when I enter that portion of the app and I must close the app to get out. ### 4/5 — Seems serviceable *2025-05-16* Seems good for what its goal is especially for the price. I would suggest to the dev that the daily quote notification should have the quote in the notification banner itself, rather than having to open the app to get it. Also, the book recommendations automatically link to the Amazon.UK site rather than the standard US app or site; just a minor nitpick. ### 5/5 — Finally solid *2026-07-01* Dev took feedback, implemented it, and fixed pressing bugs. App works solid now. Appreciate the awesome app. ### 5/5 — Superbly simple *2026-05-26, version 2.2.3* But extremely valuable. I look forward to the reminders every day. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-10-27, version 2.1.0* Just Wow. ### 5/5 — straightforward *2025-10-03* honestly love this app, it does what it advertises. very easy to understand, and a bonus for me, there’s a daily quote from philosophers. underrated app and should be on peoples phone more tbh ### 5/5 — A perfectly simple app *2025-05-12* This app is honestly perfect. its ui is simple and clean and the quotes are high quality. my favorite feature is the “Momento Mori” (meaning: Remember that you will die) section that shows how many weeks you have lived compared to how many weeks you are expected to have left, which really puts things in perspective. 5/5, would recommend. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Use daily *2025-04-21* The Daily Stoic is a way of life and a great resource for those who want to grow and gain wisdom while doing it. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-04-13* It’s enjoyable and interesting ### 5/5 — Stoic Mind *2025-01-17, version 2.0.7* This app is an amazing and inspiring companion in the journey of life.
