Tao Te Ching +

A great book, but this is very disconcerting. Every reference is made to the master as "she". I'm all for equality but I find it very distracting when reading. So I'll find a more conventional translation. Master is male. Mistress is female. The whole book reads incorrectly due to this.

The language is very good. Translation contain the essence of Lao Tzu, i also see other books but they spoil the essence of Lao Tzu in translation. But please fix widget issue, its not give quote.

I had a previous version that was wonderful. Got a new phone and downloaded it again and this version has a new long-winded translation that is very unfaithful to the spirit of the Tao. I own dozens of translations and this is the worst. Uninstalled.

Hi, i found it very simple and clean, its great for read, i downloaded the app cause you had the Mitchell translation in your screenshots. Do you take out that translation for good? can the translation come back?

This translation is pretty bad, there are much better options in the bookstore. This translation is weak, and loses the weight and teachings of the text

The book has the Legge translation by default which reads very awkwardly. Switch over to the McDonald translation and it's great.

Description clearly shows three translations which includes Mitchell, but the actual app does not have the Mitchell translation and only has two translations. Hasn't been updated in almost two years. Removing app from device.

Thank you! Downloaded this for my boyfriend. After he finishes the book, I will then come back and rate it again, based on his opinions.

Placed the widget from this app on my homescreen. At first works fine but then everytime I go to look it has stopped working.

Bias translation with many extra inputs from translator

Two translations, search, clean UI. What would be great is the app remembering the last chapter read and had a bookmark feature. Thanks for the great app.

Downloaded 3 separate times. Did not have the Mitchell translation as it claims.

But more Translations would be nice. Especially a Translation into German Language would be recommended.

So easy to understand, you have GREAT enormous Karma

Thank you!

Very wise

Love

Would be better if translators can be changed when reading(add settings button in chapters)& add more translators... supporting mandarins language is a wise move.

Old version is beteer than this 2.0 see black mart to download it

Great app for regular Tao readers. Would love to see more public domain translations. (It was great to have the Mitchell translation right on my phone, but it makes sense that it's gone now...)

the widget does nothing ... too hard finding hexagram number

Where's the Stephen Mitchell translation like the one portrayed in the app description?

Two translations (nice). It would be great if the app remembered the last chapter read. Nice work.

Good as an app, but im not particularly fond of the translation

Old version is beteer than this 2.0 see black mart to download it

No clutter, no noise.

Great, but sometimes there are grammatical or spelling errors that drive me crazy.

The app works fine but both of the translations chosen are pretty weak.

Good

The language is very good. Translation contain the essence of Lao Tzu, i also see other books but they spoil the essence of Lao Tzu in translation. But please fix widget issue, its not give quote.

Not sure why the widget needs to take up so much space on the screen. Needs to be resizable. Also the widget mostly says no quotes at this time and crashes when pressed.

Such perfect pointing to the inner stillness...love this translation , and this simple app, nothing needs to be added to the tao, so the simplicity of the app and its ease of use is in perfect harmony with the pointing within its words.....

Translations are good, but theres one problem. Whats wrong with 'Quote of the day' widget? It just keeps telling me to reinitialize it, but when I do, it still doesnt work.. I like the design of this widget and I would love to see it working!

Does exactly what you are expecting from it. No ads or intrusive popups. Even sharing is ads less. I love it.

Lovely app. Please fix broken widget and add bookmarks.

Would love to see the Thomas Cleary translation if possible. It's hands down the best. Otherwise a great app - simple, clean, no ads

Great app!

The challenge about the 3 different translations is that the chapters change! #35 in one version is not #35 in another. This makes comparisons impossible, unless the app makes it so that you can reference the different translations for the same verse, regarless of chapter #! I have a table of the chapter comparisons. Email if you would like to use it to update the app in this way. THEN, this would be the ultimate 道德经 app!

Exactly what it needs to be (in limited languages)

Very nice
