Interesting, but...
Right-ho
Pros: monkeys, interesting idea, and free. Two stars for those. Cons: HORRIBLE translations that convey next to nothing in most cases (and less than that in a few). Where did they get these awful translations, and did anyone even visually eyeball them at the simplest level (punctuation even)?!? I've used two different translations of work attributed to "Lao Tzu" (="old man" roughly), and though they're very different at least they are comprehensible. This one is like the stereotypical Chinese menu filled with bad attempts to litterally render 'word' meanings rather than conceptual meanings, and malapropisms etc. Minus two points for that. Since I can't give zero stars I guess that means one star. Funny for about 10 seconds just on the cheeseball level, so I guess that's worth a star. Sigh.
Yea! Monkeys!
The Big Hulla
I would give this more stars just for the entertainment aspect, however, some of the translations are pretty bad. For the most part though, this app does what it says and it's free.
Wisdom?
THE REAL LION
I hardly come across any saying that makes any more sense than superfluity. Thank God you call this App ANCIENT WISDOM. Definetly nothing you can take to the bank in today's world. My cat knows a lot more than those talking monkeys!! If that is where the developer gets his inspirations, I would suggest he switch to the Wall Street Journal!
Fun and interesting app

I agree that thr translations could be better but overall it's a fun and enjoyable app!
