Stoic Widget

The new version is great. It has tons of new gorgeous themes and categories. It has all the main categories you’d expect from a stoic app like memento mori, amor fati, dichotomy of control. They also have all the major stoic philosophers like Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and they use modern easy to understand English translations. Would recommend if you want more stoic wisdom in your life.

In a time of lots of useless quotes being created and attributed to people who never said them, I’m skeptical when I come across ones I don’t know about. I found myself almost ready to share a quote, attributed to Marcus Aurelius, but thankfully decided to double check it was legit since I had never heard it before. Imagine my frustration when the quote in question was never said by him through any translation that I could find. Quotes don’t have to be from certain individuals to resonate, but they should not be attributed to someone falsely just to lend them an air of legitimacy. I have deleted the app and do not recommend this app. Only reason I gave it 2 stars was that the interface was clean and easy.

Minimal which I’m a huge fan of, the font is strong and the size of each letter is serious just how I like it. Has the best stoic quotes and ones I’ve particularly seen elsewhere along with the same Stoics that echoed these heart strengthening aphorisms
