The School of Life 17+

Fantastic!

I absolutely love this app, the content is fantastic and well organised. I especially enjoy The Therapeutic Novel instalments.

The only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is because I would LOVE to be able to reflect on what I read by having a space to write notes or journal on the app. And I do miss the community the old app had.

Hello there, thank you so much for your kind words! And thank you also for the critique, we're always looking to further improve our app and we'll certainly take your feedback and add it to our ever-growing to-do list!

Love the app, really like the people too.

I have recently found The School of Life. It’s based on delivering a lot of really helpful content around mental health, wellbeing, mindfulness, philosophy, relationships and more (there’s a lot I haven’t looked at yet).
Not all the content is brand new - no ideas ever really are - but the style and delivery are refreshingly calm, level-headed, watchable and readable, and not at all cheesy or annoying, which is a really good pitch for anyone who might actually *need* this sort of helpful content. Americans, please think of it as your wise, kind and dependable British best friend.
I had a problem with my subscription - entirely my issue rather than theirs - and the customer service was helpful, appropriately pitched, and seemed to be delivered by people who understood (rather than reading from a script in a call centre) and cared that they resolved your problem. In other words, absolutely the best online customer service experience I’ve ever had.

If you need a wise friend who won’t mess you around, this may be the app for you.

Fantastic content and great interface

This app makes the content from School of Life a lot more accessible and enables you to track your progress through various topics. The ability to save articles for later is also really useful. The app is beautifully designed and it’s really easy to navigate despite having loads of content. For £5 a month it’s a no-brainer - a wonderful resource filled with insightful, reassuring and kindly ideas.

I’d welcome an option to select and copy the text directly from the app which is not possible at the moment - in case you want to save or share a specific passage. The app is also basically useless as soon as you lose internet connection which could be improved by some form of offline functionality.
