Review summary

Users praise Betterself for concise, easy-to-understand philosophy lessons that are practical and easy to apply in daily life, including journaling and a morning/night routine. The design is well-received, and the content is thought-provoking and digestible. A key recurring critique is the limited range of philosophies available, with several reviewers calling for more topics beyond Stoicism and Tao (e.g., Nihilism, Absurdism, Existentialism).

Pros

Short, concise lessons that are easy to understand.
Practical and easy-to-apply philosophy for daily life, with journaling and end-of-day reflections.
Thought-provoking, high-quality content delivered succinctly.
Well-designed interface with helpful features like lesson plans.
Overall positive reception and strong likelihood of recommending the app.

Cons

Content breadth is limited; currently focused on Stoicism and Tao, with requests for more topics (e.g., Nihilism, Absurdism, Existentialism).

2025-01-10	Wi*****	Love the app and the teachings it gives. Small, quick, and concise! The teachings are easy to understand and easy to apply them into my daily life. And as a person who loves to journal, I really enjoy the end of day reflections I can write. Really great app and definitely would recommend. The only thing I wish for is that the reflections should be able to record the date of writing. Just a personal preference but otherwise, I really enjoy this app 😊

2024-08-05	re*****	As a philosopher, I’ve been disappointed by the philosophy apps on iPhones. I’ve longed for a way to learn more about philosophy without having to spend too much time on an app. I’ve found that Betterself combines great information but also in a concise matter. I truly believe that this app will help any type of person, whether struggling with mental blocks or just trying to help themselves. This app is all I’ve wanted, and I’m so glad that it is finally here.
