Pease fix audio issues

Lots of interesting things here to keep you occupied as an alternative to you know what. Or as I do, to take a small break to relax a few and listen to something that usually gives new perspectives on life.

But those breaks are best taken with eyes closed, or not, and just sound but the audio with its disturbing volume shifts from low to very high all of a sudden and back are in no way relaxing lol.

Aware it’s a new feature, but please fix. ✌️

Emotional Education at its Best

I’ve always been a huge admirer of the kind of knowledge The School of Life offers across different aspects of life. I believe The School of Life has been a great influence on me during my 20s and has shaped who I am today, as a person, partner, friend, and simply as a human being.

The app could use a few refinements here and there for a better UI/UX experience, but that doesn’t feel like an excuse to miss out on the knowledge it has to offer. Thank you so much, always grateful :)

Life lessons in one’s pocket

I found the app easy to use and navigate. I love the bite size learning and meaningful daily quotes. My friends and I enjoyed the conversation cards. We have replaced ‘How are you?’ with ‘How have you been suffering lately (with humour)? x

Self awareness and grit!
