Moving on to another version
This app used to have a random passage feature. That was excellent for a quick daily dose of wisdom. Unfortunately the author took away that feature so I am looking for another version to download. It was good for a period, but it’s time to move on as there are better versions out there. Thanks to the author for his efforts never the less.

Rd was a great We drq🙃😘😽
Disappointed user
Too few words on offer to make this worth taking up any space at all. One to bypass.
Good translation
I find this translation really cuts to the heart of it. When I had an encounter with reality this version seemed the most in line with what I was experiencing. I find the swiping hard.
Good translation but not totally free!
They say it's free and then some of the chapters are not complete because they want money! They should mention that in its introduction that full version is not free!
Direct translation improbable
I really enjoy this Tao te Ching app. It gives me a bit of something each time I look. I acknowledge that translations differ and most times I enjoy the different perspectives.
Anticlimax..
They only show half of the verse, you have to pay for the whole verse. Lao Tsu didn't claim the Tao te Ching as much as they do.. Very spritual.. ;-)
Very good
Good fun but the Tao should be free and limitless- but ultimately it is a value for money in the end
Good but
This app works well but when you hit the twenty first page it starts soliciting you to buy more content- really distracting! Be aware this is not the whole book. This app should be called Tao Te Ching lite.
Life changing
♥️❤️☯️
Handy
When you compare translations, some pages are better, some worse. That's acceptable.
Tao te Ching
Thank you for my inspiring app which I can dip in and out of anytime, any place, anywhere
Very nice
I really like this app for when I am needing a quick reminder to help me maintain internal balance and perspective! I LOVE being able to take this Classic with me wherever I go, as well as the I Ching app by the same author!
A great read.
Slowly working through this content. This system or "way" should be taught in schools. The world would be a better place for it! We would be a better race because of it.
Love it
Thanks, this ancient knowledge that is really ever present and constant, is greatly needed today..
The way
I like to read this from time to time! It makes me think about the world and all it's troubles and realax
Very good translation
I have read Many translations of tao, and did not expect much from an app. I was very wrong, this is indeed one of the best translations I have seen so far
