Scroll Tao

Terms of Use

Last updated November 7, 2026

Scroll Tao is made by reblecloud. By downloading or using the app you agree to these terms and to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which applies to every app on the App Store.

1. What the app is

Scroll Tao is a reader for the Tao Te Ching: 81 chapters in Chinese with pinyin, translations, character glosses and commentary, in a swipeable feed. It is for personal study. It is not a substitute for a teacher, and we make no claims about the accuracy of any single translation.

2. Free and paid access

Ten essential verses are free, with Study, saving and notes. All 81 chapters unlock with one purchase made through Apple.

Lifetime, $2.99 once. A one-time purchase with no subscription and no renewal. It stays with your Apple ID for as long as Scroll Tao is on the App Store, and Family Sharing can share it with your family.

Prices are shown in your local currency in the app and may differ by country. Apple handles payment, receipts and refunds; request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. Use Restore purchases in the app's Settings on a new device.

3. The texts and the artwork

The Chinese text follows the received Wang Bi edition, with chapter titles from the Heshang Gong edition. The Scroll edition translation, the character glosses and the English rendering of the Heshang Gong commentary were written for Scroll Tao; the translations by James Legge (1891), D. T. Suzuki and Paul Carus (1913) and Dwight Goddard (1919) are in the public domain in the United States. The scroll posters, the app's design and its name belong to reblecloud. You may read, save, share single verses and quote with attribution for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy the app, resell its content or strip the artwork.

4. Your notes and saves

Anything you write in the app is yours. It is stored on your device and in your own iCloud account, never on our servers. Deleting the app deletes it.

5. As is

The app is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. We will fix what we can and keep it working on current iOS versions, but we cannot promise uninterrupted service. To the extent the law allows, reblecloud is not liable for indirect losses from using the app.

6. Changes

If these terms change, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date. Continued use after that date means you accept them.
