Sometimes you need that spark of wisdom, inspiration, or motivation, but finding it isn't always easy. The Buddha Quotes 500 app provides you with a selection of beautiful quotes that you can view at any time you need that bit of wisdom and inspiration.

Find Peace of Mind

In today's busy and hectic world it can be hard to find peace and find that inspiration everyone looks for. You don't even have to follow the quotes and teachings of Buddha to find this app interesting and inspiring. The library of quotes is vast and there may be some quotes you’ve heard before but many will be new ones for you.

I really like the sheer simplicity of the user interface; it works well with the goal of the app to be inspiring, calming, and peaceful. There aren't a ton of features and tools you need to learn how to use: it's just a selection of quotes that you can swipe through.

The few features in this app are extremely simple to use. You can mark quotes as your favorite and then return back to them at any time. As well you can share quotes through Facebook, SMS, and email so that your friends can feel that same state of peacefulness you feel.

 

Out of Place

The one thing that feels out of place here is the ads. I get that this is a free app so you have to expect it to be supported by ads, but the scrolling one across the bottom of the screen really takes away from the whole serene feel this app is going for. It's unfortunate it has to be there. You can opt to remove the ads but that is priced at $2.99 which feels pretty steep.

In reading what other users have to say, one common complaint that pops up is the fact you can't copy or Tweet quotes. I have to agree with the users on this one. With Twitter being such a popular social network site it doesn't make sense to leave it off the list of ways to share quotes. Other than that, users seem to be in agreement that the content - the quotes themselves - are incredibly good and offer a nice variety of messages.

I like that you can launch the app at any point in your day and read a quote or two and then get back to your hectic schedule.
