### 4/5 — Wheres the widget? 🙁

*2023-10-29*

I think this app has excellent potential for a widget. I would love to open my phone to oscar wilde every morning, but alas, no widget… Besides that does it’s job, thanks for keeping Wilde alive.

**Developer response:** Coming soon! We're going to replace our existing Today Widget, now obsoleted, with a new widget in the next version of the app.

### 4/5 — Love your app

*2023-08-29*

Can’t find the widget? Pls help 
It’s such a fun app, I’ve had it for years. 
Thanks!

**Developer response:** Coming soon! We're going to replace our existing Today Widget, now obsoleted, with a new widget in the next version of the app.

### 5/5 — The wit

*2021-02-12, version 7.2.1*

His work was remarkably ahead of his time. Everything that he said back in the day is absolutely applicable to today. I’m fascinated by who the man really was and I wish that they would come out with a wonderful movie focusing on his life with the perfect actor to portray the immeasurable talents of Oscar Wilde.

### 5/5 — Fabulous app!

*2015-11-22*

Wilde had a brilliant mind but a tragic life. This app captures the best of his sayings! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Oscar Wilde

*2015-08-01, version 6.0*

Great app

### 4/5 — Good sense?

*2014-12-19*

It's really amazing how apt many of his comments are.  He knew the "human conditions" pretty well!

A apt level of sense in his witty comments.

### 5/5 — This is essential

*2014-10-14*

This is the only app that ever needs to exist.

### 4/5 — Loved many of the quotes.

*2014-03-25*

It was quite enjoyable to read the quotes from Oscar Wilde.

### 4/5 — Wilde's Wit

*2013-09-04*

When you need to take life a little less seriously, Wilde knows just what to say.

### 5/5 — Most excellent

*2013-08-11, version 4.0.1*

Entirely satisfactory. The daily deliverance of Wildean aphorisms are a thoroughly welcome slice of decadence in this late century. For best results set the time of the quotes to 4:20.
