Stoic Library App Reviews

Chock full of food for thought. Easy to use and very aesthetic. I use this often

I like this app.

Not sure what the upgrade was. But I like the images for each section and the "less is more" excerpts. The free app was great. I just bought the upgrade for the Meditations. I'm sure it will be worth it. Thanks.

This app brings together some of the best examples of Stoic wisdom available. And it offers you the option to purchase still more fine examples of this school of thought. Needless to say I like it enough to want to make the in app purchase to obtain the remaining Stoic texts but try as I might I have been unable to make the purchase. It just sits there when I try. The inability to add the remaining texts has made what could have been a great app into a good one. But do not get me wrong, it is still well worth a download even without the additional texts. But it could have been better with them...

Uplifting and easy to use.

I purchased this app solely for its “search” feature, in order to find passages pertinent to my particular needs at any one moment. The search feature is horribly broken, when searching for the word “virtue” in Meditations for example, only ONE instance is listed in the results. Another common word, “courage”, has ZERO results in Meditations. The feature is useless. I own paperback copies of all these texts for far more than the $1.99 I paid for the app, so to have them at my fingertips is worth the price alone, although there is another free app simply called “Stoic” that has most of these texts as well. That app has no search feature, but this one might as well not have bothered either.

What text available for free within the app. Is well organized, translated adequately, and carefully selected to contextually portray the school of stoicism properly.

I've ordered a bunch of these books on amazon (for a lot of $$)and carry some of them with me often but seem to always have my phone and love having all of these wonderful classic Stoics in my pocket! Best app on my phone!

I refer to it daily.

Cool!

Great for quick doses of stoicism from one of the masters. Well-written app, easy to navigate, nice features (bookmarking, etc)

Thanks for providing reading materials to a poor student who loves to read.

Awesome source for the Classics of Greek & Roman philosophy! It would help to make the print resizable. But that does not hinder me from giving it a five star. THANKS for this resource!

Here is an app that is true to the spirit and form of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, and Epictetus' Handbook. Stoicism offers a philosophically Western tradition that smacks of Zen, with an approach to ethics and action that has shined over the centuries for it's brilliance. This application makes these teachings from across the ages now available to you at the touch of a finger. Zeno would be proud.

Great app for those that ate looking for works on stoicism. Selection of works five stars, and the way the app works is nice. Really like how it works. Thanks for a quality app (no problem downloading extra content).

It's dope.

Good app, great reading!

While it's a nice collection of the stoics I'd really like to see a bit more effort put into the app. A great start would be to have a daily notification with a relevant quote.

Excellent content, excellent support.

This app is invaluable to the student of Stoicism or philosophy in general. For only $.99 you can have access to most of the key texts on Stoicism, as well as a modern overview to aid the new student. Highly recommended!

I like the app.

Read about Stoicism in the 4HWW and on Tim Ferriss' blog. Great resource for keeping perspective on what I should value most in life.

After I downloaded it and installed it, My iPad froze and didn't boot up. Useless app.

Need to change the sensitivity of the gesture that flips page , done it many times by accident really annoying

Came across this thanks to Tim ferriss, really good read so far, very insightful.

Put together well, easy to navigate, couldn't ask for more.

I'm still focusing on the Seneca book and it has been good I imagine the next one will be too.

I do enjoy the convenience that this app offers up the classic literary awesome sauce. The autoscroll feature is an added bonus! Great intro to stoicism. And I do like the genuine friendship imbued in the letters, you can sense the friendship, love, admiration and respect the two gentlemen have for each other. Many lessons the letters teach are timeless and can be applied to everyday life in the here-and-now. Awesome app, grab it!

Great format for a quick daily dose of stoicism

Thank you for the work put into this app. It is both useful and user-friendly; and while the appearance could be more polished and "prettied up", it is certainly a fine-looking app. Controls are simple & intuitive. And of course the content is invaluable! =}
