True stoicism would allow me to overcome this repetitiveness, but I am still a student, yearning for my next quote. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and for sticking with the app! I’ve identified the bug causing the same quote to appear in notifications and am working on a fix. Once the update is published, I hope we can revisit your experience and see if it earns a higher rating. UPDATE: please download the latest update for the bug fix. I hope this resolves your issue and you can revisit the rating 🙏 ### 1/5 — 8.2.2025 - FREE OPTION MISSING *2025-08-02* the AppAdvice presented your app as FREE today. But there's no way or area to purchase ANY option at this time. **Developer response:** that is odd..please send me an email and I will address this with you and remedy the situation. andrewaustin_dev@yahoo.com ### 2/5 — Same quote every day *2025-08-29, version 1.1.6* Kinda defeats the purpose of the app. ### 3/5 — Same quote every day *2025-10-05* I see the same quote every day in my notification. True stoicism would allow me to overcome this repetitiveness, but I am still a student, yearning for my next quote. Update: Thanks for your response! I saw some new quotes but after a few days I don’t get a notification anymore. Changing from 1 to 3 stars **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and for sticking with the app!

And how can you browse previous practice entries made in prior days? Love the idea, just can’t seem to find some basic functionality. ### 4/5 — Get this app for the Apple Watch *2026-05-07* I love the app and the features but I would enjoy more as well if it was included for the Apple Watch. Have it where I can see the quote on my Apple Watch. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review! I will add Apple Watch support for sure! ### 4/5 — I Like This App! *2025-08-04* Great quotes app to keep you motivated. However, I wish I could write in my own quotes. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad the app helps keep you motivated. Adding the ability to save your own quotes is a great idea — I’ll explore how we can bring that feature to a future update. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-02* Love the quotes. App is great. Even though the widget doesn’t seem to refresh very often. That would be great if it daily refreshed. But still think it’s great app!
