Skimpy
They have a long way to go, there’s not much here.
United StatesVery disappointing
Many of the quotations in this guide are simply titles of books, speeches or excerpts from song lyrics. I am not very impressed with it. Way overpriced!
United StatesExcellent resource for college
As a returning student, this app has been a great resource for my college classes. Glad I invested in this app.
United StatesCrashes on opening
The app crashes immediately upon opening. Fix the app or refund the money people paid. This is unacceptable.
United StatesCrashes
The app closes immediately when you try to open it: it cost too much for this to happen. Why hasn't this been fixed by now?
United StatesDoesn't work
Quickly closed as soon as I opened it.
United StatesOkay
Disappointed because I had to give it a 3 star. It is really a 2 1/2. I expected more from Yale. As far as searching, it is okay although it feels clunky which I know is hard to explain. It is not attractive but that is in the eye of the beholder. After using Yale, my favorite quotation app remains 23,000 Quotations. I love the random browse feature in that app. It is a great way to generate ideas. When all is said and done, Yale is fine for searching for proverbs or quotations but certainly not worth $10. This is a $4-5 app even if it carries the Yale brand.
