About this app

At times, life can feel crushingly hard and downright confusing as we waddle through our circumstances from moment to moment. It's all part and parcel of what it means to be a human being.

We've developed various kinds of escape mechanisms in a bid to avoid pain and sorrow but somehow it still catches up to us. It's especially prominent when we are completely alone with our thoughts.

The Stoic is a simple app to deliver what stoic practitioners of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and many more have come to learned themselves and studied over the century.

Hopefully, these valuable quotes can provide food for thought in regards to your circumstance or maybe you just want a reminder of the day to ponder over. Either way, it's good to learn from them.

The Stoic might be able to guide you to a less confusing world and come into a better state of mind. The choice is yours alone.

Ratings and reviews

It's nice but the quotes are static images or otherwise unselectable text. If you want to easily search based on parts of the quote or copy and paste text, you'll need to find other methods. The notification does not always show the entire quote, and following through will sometimes result in a different quote altogether.

I use this app every night, and I love it. However, there is only one thing I dislike. If I am scrolling through quotes and I leave the app (not closing the app, just going to a different "tab"), then go back on the app, it puts me back at the start of the quotes. I could be on the 45th quote, and then I accidentally hit the home button and reenter; then I have to scroll through 45 quotes again to see anything new. Not a big deal, but it is something to note for the developer.

Hey, man, I love your app. I really think you would see more profit if you lowered the cost of removing ads to 1 or 2 dollars. People are willing to support production of great products, but 5 dollars is just too much. You may get a few people buying, but many, many more would be willing to contribute if it were a more reasonable price to remove ads. Consider the cost of removing ads in many more functional apps: it is rarely more then 4 dollars. Either way, thank you for your hard work!
