Quotes can be a nice inspirational tool or they can simply bring enjoyment, and with so many different quotes from recognizable people on the planet there can be a quote to suit nearly any mood. Random Quotes is an app which has the sole purpose of serving you up a series of random quotes to look through any time you might need to feel inspired. It’s easy to use and quotes appear on screen in big easy to read lettering.
Before you can dive into the library of quotes that Random Quotes has available, you’ll need to download and install the app from the Play Store.
Random Quotes is a simple app to use. There is no setup or configuration to have to deal with, simply open the app and read quotes that appear immediately on screen.
You can customize things a little bit if you wish, simply by entering into the settings menu where you’ll find options like background, font size, font family, font style, font weight, and image an option to toggle on/off image quotes.
You can also filter the quotes you want to see by different categories like author or topics, or you can simply do a search for quotes by keywords if you know a specific quote you’re looking for but can’t quote remember who the quote is from.
If you find a quote you like and want to share with others, you can hit the share button to share the quote through social media like Facebook or Twitter, or you can send the quote through email or simply store it to places like Drive or Dropbox.
Maneuvering through quotes is rather easy as all you have to do is swipe on screen left or right to move back and forth between them.
There is also a quotes widget which you can add to the homescreen if you want the quotes to be delivered to you without having to open the app. The widget will cycle through a new random quote every hour.
