Great format and content but missing a crucial piece.

This is a great app that contains a wonderful and important collection, however it fails on one key issue in that it appears to be missing Dr. Elliott's guide for completing the anthology in 15 minute/day through a set of selected passages. It would be a great improvement if this app at a minimum included a text of the guide. It would be incredible if it linked directly to those passages so that one could complete the collection using only this app.

Disappointing and terrible UX

There’s no actual “guide” here. This app just seems to be nothing more than a list of public formation texts of books. There’s no daily reading guide like there is with the actual Harvard Classics so this app feels like a bait and switch. As someone else said I want my money back.

Great Promise, Poor Execution

Just purchased; HOWEVER, all the Harvard Classics books are not identified as “Harvard Classics: Volume 1” containing (a) Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, (b) The Journal of John Woolman, (c) Fruits of Solitude … followed by “Harvard Classics: Volume 2”.

Instead the individual books are there (maybe) but not in the order of the original Harvard Classics.

I want my money back.
