## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2020-04-29*

Many of the quotations in this guide are simply titles of books, speeches or excerpts from song lyrics. I am not very impressed with it. Way overpriced!

### 1/5 — Improvement needed

*2019-02-17, version 8.5.1*

1. Please add a dark or sepia background theme. The current light colour theme made my eyes tired easily

2. Why there is an ads in the Setting page? I have paid almost US$10 to buy this app.

### 1/5 — Crashes on opening

*2015-10-20*

The app crashes immediately upon opening.  Fix the app or refund the money people paid.  This is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-10-18*

The app closes immediately when you try to open it: it cost too much for this to happen. Why hasn't this been fixed by now?

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-09-30*

Quickly closed as soon as I opened it.

### 1/5 — It's not about this app …...

*2013-07-27, version 1.0.2*

I bought the Oxford Deluxe from the same company but it can't be restored in the latest update. The app is even removed and I can't write a review. So that's the only way to let the people from English Channel know their apps suck. Fix it ASAP !!!

### 2/5 — Skimpy

*2021-05-22*

They have a long way to go, there’s not much here.

### 2/5 — Hard to use, overpriced

*2013-04-24*

There are lots of quotes, and maybe they're well-curated, but the app is clunky and hard to use. The search is at least fast. But if I wanted to search for quotes for someone specific I'd use a search engine. This is not worth $9.99.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2013-11-24*

Disappointed because I had to give it a 3 star. It is really a 2 1/2.  I expected more from Yale.  As far as searching, it is okay although it feels clunky which I know is hard to explain. It is not attractive but that is in the eye of the beholder.  

After using Yale, my favorite quotation app remains 23,000 Quotations. I love the random browse feature in that app.  It is a great way to generate ideas. 

When all is said and done, Yale is fine for searching for proverbs or quotations but certainly not worth $10.  This is a $4-5 app even if it carries the Yale brand.

### 3/5 — Surprised not to find certain names.

*2013-04-18*

Searched Antonin Scalia and disappointed. Pulled in Wikiquotes. Oxford has a dictionary of American Legal Quotation. I'd like to see Oxford link its quotations via a segmented searchable database as other publishers have done.

### 5/5 — 闪退

*2016-08-12*

是很好的app，只是在iphone6上打开太长的页面偶尔闪退，也可能是自己手机的问题

### 5/5 — Excellent resource for college

*2016-02-15*

As a returning student, this app has been a great resource for my college classes. Glad I invested in this app.

### 5/5 — 不错

*2015-12-05*

有蛮多好引言。

### 5/5 — great app but quote of the day stuck on same quote

*2014-04-13*

great app - haven’t found another with similar functionality - only issue is that the quote of the day is stuck on the same quote and can’t find how to turn if of

### 5/5 — Worth the price

*2013-04-09*

I have tried a lot of quotation apps, but this one feels like a book.  I find myself flipping through the pages and enjoying everything I read.  Worth the money!

### 4/5 — 闪退问题

*2016-08-15*

第一款付费软件，省去了很多个人查找会耗费的时间，很棒的app，但确实时常有闪退问题，希望技术人员能帮忙解决
