September 2026

Made new, and the ads taken out

The quote apps have been on Google Play since 2019, and for years they carried ads and reminders to donate. In September 2026 they were made new, in the design of Share the Word: a calm page, a dark theme, favourites, images to share and a widget. In November 2026, G.K. Chesterton joined them.

The ads and the reminders went, and with them the last reason for the apps to go online. For everyone who already had one, the quote times and the place in the book were kept.

In About

A quote that isn't theirs?

Famous sayings travel under names that never said them. So every app has a line for it:

“If you find a quote that isn't really theirs, please tell me and I'll take it out.”

On your phone, and nowhere else

Nothing between you and the page

0ads

And nothing to buy.

0sign-ins

Open the app and read.

0connections

The apps never connect to the internet. Your settings, your place and your favourites stay on your phone.

“I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages.”

Charles Spurgeon, and the first page of his app. One quote on the screen, and nothing else asking for your attention.
