The other reviewers are right. At least 1/3 of the quotes I’ve seen don’t make sense. Another significant fraction of quotes relate to death, but don’t inspire me to contemplate my own death or life. For example my current quote :
“It concerns the death of Anna Katharina Ehmer, a 26 year old woman with severe mental disabilities who lived in an institution for people with mental disorders, and who allegedly never spoken a single word during her life. Yet, she was reported to have sung dying songs for a half hour before she died.”
Maybe this quote was badly translated from another language to English and it was probably taken out of context, but all I contemplated was how badly written this was and how creepy it sounded.
This app provides mostly distracting quotes and nothing at all useful for regular mindfulness or anything at all like that. It inspires the opposite of contemplation of death because of the distracting quotes. This app needs to croak, but the idea was solid.

Loved the app. Really did. Recommended it to my friends and many got it. Recently, the quotes have taken a severe left turn. AOC? The charlatan Hogg? Did the developers run out of the collected works of brilliant minds in all of history? Got another meaningless quote from aoc. “We have a responsibility to advance our moral technology” how does that vacuous non-sequitur possibly fit in the stated premise of the app? Your biases are showing. I don’t mind brilliant leftist/Marxist theorists from the golden age of that ideology, aoc does not fit that definition. On more quote and I’m deleting the app and demanding a refund.

Isn’t balance a principal of Buddhism?

Fail.

I like the idea of an app that reminds me of my death with relevant quotes. I think the app could be better, though:

Should show quote in notification preview.

Should show source, not just author, of quotes.

Feels like it lacks strong editorialship of quotes. What does this quote have to do with death (other that in some sense everything human has to do with death)?

“Ironically, we have traded one constancy for another. We have lost the constancy of the stars but gained the constancy of energy. The first is a physical object, the second a concept. Scientists cannot prove without a doubt that the total energy in a closed system is constant. But any violation of that principle would destroy the foundations of physics and suggest an unlawful universe. The idea of a lawful universe is itself an Absolute.”

Why would you select this quote from Lightman instead?

“The material of the doomed stars and the material of my doomed body are actually the same material. Literally the same atoms… It is astonishing but true that if I could attach a small tag to each of the atoms of my body and travel with them backward in time, I would find that those atoms originated in particular stars in the sky. Those exact atoms.”
