Lovely

A quote each day gives you a little piece of history. :)

Fun!

I like the picture + quote feature. I have a feeling Im going to look for excuses to use this :-)

Tar Heel

Use this app a lot for speech-writing. Very helpful.

Good App!

If you enjoy quotations this is a good app & enjoying quote of the day. EAF

Wonderful app for speakers

I do a lot of public speaking and I find this application to be a wonderful tool for inspiration. The ability to organize quotes in folders and the daily quote are invaluable and certainly worth $3.99.

My favorite book of all time!!

When I saw that this was available to put on my iPhone right away!! I have loved this book for fifty years and to be able to read it anytime I want is something Ive always wanted!!! Thank you for making this available to me and others like me!!

Thought-Provoking

I enjoy taking a moment of quiet time daily, to ponder a quotation from Bartletts. Perhaps some of the wisdom occasionally replaces trivia in the library of my mind.

Frustrating

I like the quote of the day but I cant figure out how to search for a quote! Also, the app display wont rotate from vertical to landscape on the iPad. Very frustrating even though I only paid $.99 for it.

Fabulous, and pretty!

Love the amount of quotes, how theyre categorized, and the many ways you can search through them. Would like a little smoother search, pressing the back button takes you back to square one, instead of to the search. The quote-of-the-day notification feature alone makes this worth buying--Johnny Cash lyrics? O YES.

Great app

It is easy to use and well worth the money I spent on this app.

Love it

Search, save and share.

Fantastic

The book has followed me back and forth to school to years. Now I can Bartletts wherever I am! The search feature and tags for the quotes are great.

Reader

I found it excellent. Broad range of sources and wonderfully stocked.

Bartletts Familiar Quotations

Bartletts Familiar Quotations is simply the most elegant and beautiful way of browsing quotes on iOS. Everything about the app is pleasing to use. The quotes that are available in the app are plentiful and incredible. I havent witnessed any bugs or abnormalities, which makes the experience significantly better.

Really wonderful when you are at a loss for words.

I have grown up with the print version and find this to be even more useful. It reveals powerful thoughts from brilliant minds on almost every subject.

Elegant, timely

A nice range of quotes. Would like to see more women as sources.

Love it

I love this application because it introduces people I have never heard of which has enriched my life.

Quote of the Day is its best feature.

I had the print version of Bartletts Familiar Quotations, which I loved to browse. I havent made that transition yet to the IOS app and others complain about how difficult it is to use for browsing. I think the app is worth the price I paid, however. I love the daily quotes that show up when I open my I-Phone. Sometimes they are so apt that I copy and paste them to my journal app and write a response. I liked one reviewers idea of attaching some quotes to photos and sharing them. Altogether one of my favorite apps.

Very cool

This is a very interesting App. I love the history stored in the quotes. Very very cool.

Extends Ignorance

This app has quotes by "Mark Twain", yet does know or show that that was a pseudonym used by Samuel Clemens, nor that Mr. Clemens made any remarks worth quoting outside of his published books. This alone aggravates me beyond tolerance. How can one rely on this when it provides no biographical information about its sources ? Nor date or time of publication ? This app provides bare words. For context and meaning, search elsewhere.
