WeCroak

Ah, the Stoics remedy at last.

Please add russian language

I’m seeing the same quotes every time. Update with some new ones please.

Love the concept, but all the quotes I’ve gotten have used he/him pronouns or explicitly only referred to men when discussing grander truths or observations about life.

I have used this app for a long time and I really enjoyed it, but since they added a premium version the quality of the free version has really gone down. And I absolutely don’t begrudge them needing to make some money to keep the app going, but the way to do that is to add new features for premium and maybe an optional tip jar to the free version, not to make the free version worse by making all the quotes “inspirational” (insipid) celebrity babble. Unfortunately the premium version doesn’t seem worth it -ironically what drew me to the app in the first place was the promise to not make just another “mindfulness” app with goals/streak achievements and all that noise, which is exactly what leap appears to be. What made this app unique has been largely pruned away for the sake of marketability, and frankly if one is just looking for generic inspirational quotes X number of times a day then there are dozens of better apps on the market for that. It’s even possible to build something that does this yourself with very little tech know-how. Capitalism ruins everything, yada yada… just goes to show that trying to make non-attachment and meditations on mortality into a consumable product is probably an unworthy and unworkable goal from the outset. That’s maybe a good thing, and the thought definitely makes deleting an app I’ve used daily for years feel a bit less sad. And even in saying goodbye to WeCroak there’s a final speck of wisdom to take from it: all things end. It was nice while it lasted.

I was really excited to use this app as a Buddhist and meditator. I was disappointed in the app’s performance as my 5 daily quotes didn’t come through, and the app itself is lacking in terms of settings and controls. It’s a great idea just not executed well.

I love the idea of this app and have had it for a few years but frankly it’s a bit silly now. The quotes that pop up are more and more completely unrelated to the subject of death and more and more celebrity oriented rather than serious Buddhist thought or philosophers in general. Sorry but Dolly Parton isn’t my go-to sage for pondering my inevitable death.

I literally never write reviews for anything whatsoever. But besides the Holy Quran, this Has to be one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded. Just like praying five times a day do you get five daily reminder notifications from this app. If you don’t open the notifications they’ll eventually stop sending any. Constant quotes and reminders to make our lives in this world a better place. God bless whoever made and published this app. They must really care about people to make an app like this. I wish there was more quotes as every now and then I see the same quotes I’ve read before, but other than that it’s great can’t think of anything better. as for the premium features, it’s a nice addition. I don’t use anymore but it’s cool. One concern I do have is when I take pictures of my own and literally never see them again so that’s weird.

Just learned they offer “harder hitting quotes” in the paid subscription which wouldn’t be difficult considering the weak ones that come free. Some of them - often repeated - appear to be randomly selected, not really pertinent. I’d consider a subscription if the free version wasn’t underwhelming because this is an essential tool for a good life.

Widget doesn’t display the new quote. Open it and still says “Open for a quote…” after exiting. Otherwise great app all around
