What is a good alternative to the Motivate app?

Does Continuus Rise have videos or audio?
No. It is a text app: one short quote a day, plus the quotes you save and the ones you write. If video is what moves you, Motivate is the better fit.

No. Your quotes, saved words and preferences stay on your phone.
