Wonderful App, light-weight, user-friendly, handy, it punctually delivers the words of wisdom you need, and is a great reference for quick access to the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching)

Translation is easiest to understand among all other ones I had tried. Be nice to be able to reduce font size.

This is a nice, clean app. Very nice for contemplating Lao Tzu's ancient wisdom. I would like to see the developer add swipe for next (or random) chapter and a menu option for table of contents.

Makes me feel like a wise old Asian man living on top of a mountain. Bravo!

Packaged with "ancient yellow", a tone of freedom from worldly cares ensues on load. I almost instantly was reminded of Master Li Kao and his sidekick, Number Ten Ox. Their mythical travels in The Story of the Stone ( cover adorned with this same pleasing yellow ), 2nd in line to Bridge of Birds: A Novel of Ancient China that Never Was, always bring a welcoming joy into thought. The app runs smooth and silky. I am certain I have found my daily Dao delight ( Baskin Robins sell?). Keep up the fabulous work!

Displays perfectly on my Samsung GS3 and Nexus 7. Only minor suggestions might be adding pinch zoom and a next option for days when I don't feel like being random or scrolling a list. Petty, I know. Nice job.

I like this version of the Tao Te Ching better than the others...

The app is fast, looks clean, uses a good translation, and is to the point. There are no ads! I would like to be able to change the colors and swipe sideways to change chapters. The layout does not utilize horizontal space efficiently, but that's not a big deal. Well done
