Tao Te Ching Lao Tzu

GreatTao

When I first downloaded the app, I could choose from three different interpretations and that option has been removed. I do not like the version that it now presents.

This was my favorite and preferred way to read the Tao, but the loss of the multiple translations makes it no longer useful. Such a shame - I realize it’s complicated but would love to be able to pay for those translations.

I’ve downgraded my rating from a five to a two because the latest app update eliminated the various translations. In previous app versions, tapping the book icon enabled you to choose from several different translations. You could read the entire book in a particular translation. Or you could a chapter over again from several different translations and receive deeper insights. The one translation that remains is generic. The app no longer has value, so I am deleting it. The app had a good run and this is a reminder that change is inevitable and all things come to an end.

App works great, nothing excessive, very clean, very easy to navigate. The app used to have four separate translations of the Tao Te Ching, and the developer has replaced them with one version now, probably because of copyright issues, which is disappointing. I really appreciated having multiple interpretations to switch through, to understand and experience the text in different ways. Anyway, the app is still solid, and the current translation seems good to me. I would still recommend the app to those looking for a very lightweight, simple way to read the Tao Te Ching on mobile.

Always a grounding read

It was better when you could toggle through a variety of translations. Why did they go away?

love this app and its still great! was confused today when reading it, always loved the Mitchell translation

the app was perfect and now there is no translation change, it really diminishes the quality of this app :(

Looking for a new app now because this new translation, as mentioned by another, isn't as good
