Ratings and reviews

After finding a quote I like, it's fascinating to learn more about the person behind it, and discover more of their philosophical outlook. One thing bugs me though; seeing 1th, 2th, and 3th. The ordinal number firST is abbreviated to 1st, secoND to 2nd, thiRD to 3rd, and twenty-firST is 21st etc. th goes after most ordinal numbers' abbreviations, as when they're written out, they end in TH. e.g. sevenTH, forty-ninTH etc. The glaring inaccuracy in an otherwise scholarly collation is off-putting

There needs to be a function "Quote of the day" that automatically pops up in your notifications.

This is a decent beginning app, though some full-texts would be nice. It also seems to have a bias against including some Christian philosophers and so is not quite a complete picture of the full Greek tradition. Pretty good so far otherwise. God bless them and their efforts in bringing unappreciated wisdom to modern eyes. Amen.
