Love it - but is it working?

Potentially life-changing app. When I’m getting notifications, my ability to stay calm and focused is amazing. However, with no minimum notifications per day, some days I get no notifications, or very few. This just adds another stressor - is the app working? Can I rely on it? Is it worth adding messages and using space on my phone and screen if I’m not getting notifications?

I don’t want to lose the randomness of it, but adding a minimum could really help.

Hi, I hope Yapp is working as you wanted now. Please update to the last version, that should fix any glitches and get you the exact numbers of reminders on your screen every single time! Warm Regards

Doesn’t work every day

I really like and look forward to the gentle reminders of my goals/affirmations. However, the app randomly stops working on various days of the week. I thought it was just the weekend but I observed that for the last two weeks I’ve gotten reminders on 3 out of 7 days. It doesn’t work more often than it does. That is my only gripe.

I like the simplicity and ease of use. I like setting seeming limitless number of affirmations. I like adjusting the amount of reminders I get, which hours I get them during and the volume of the tone.

Hi, thanks for the feedback :) You are right, sadly the current IOS system limits the amount of notifications to a total of 64, so if you have more than 9 reminders per day x 7 days some would not pop up :/ To avoid this, I just released a new update which limits the daily amount of reminders to 9. Hope that helps you and others to enjoy Yapp even more.. Cheers Raul

Simple. Easy. Effective. And surprisingly creative.

I love this as an idea - Write down a bank of things that are meaningful to you, and randomly get alerts from the selection throughout the day - the soft sound you can choose is perfect. When you press on an alert from the notification centre, you are taken straight in. In this way, I find myself adding more and more to the bank of inspiration, which gets reinforced throughout the day. Brilliant, effective, and inspirational. Oh - and elegant too! Thanks!

Good idea. Now also with good execution.

The idea for this app is great. The clean, minimal design is pretty good too.

When I wrote the first version of this review, the app did not work as expected. However, trying it again, after an update, and it seems to work perfectly now.

It’s a good way to remind yourself of your goals, and to give yourself reminders, challenges, and prompts that’ll pull you back on whatever path you keep straying from, and nudge you forward.

It can, for example, help you to
- re-center (“Take a minute and just breathe”)
- re-focus on the important things during the day (“Are you really doing the most important thing you could be doing right now?”)
- take a birds eye view of your work process and efficiency (“Could you automate or delegate what you’re doing right now?”)
- invite creativity into your work (“Could you do this with half the budget? Half the time?”, “Could you do it without a computer?”)

Recommended.

Thanks.

[updated algorithm on the last update, guaranteed random reminders & times for every day of the week] Sorry to hear you are not happy with Yapp, the messages to be displayed are picked randomly, so maybe they repeat sometimes, but having 10+ should give you a nice variety. The time range of the day you receive the reminders can be changed in the settings, please try increasing the time your day starts and finishes to get a nice random time effect, if you have a very narrow window of time to receive them, they would probably pop up at similar times. Hope it helps! Thanks

Exactly as advertised

Simple. Easy. Nice aesthetics. It sends me random reminders and encouragements throughout the day. Just what I was looking for.

So good!

Didn’t think it would be as powerful as an experience as it has been. It’s amazing what really just pausing for a minute in the middle of your crazy day does... I find myself feeling less anxious and more focused. Great stuff!

Almost perfect

I’ve been looking for an app to do this for ages. Thanks for making it! I love it.
Please fix the AppleWatch pop ups. I want to see my reminder not the logo. (Though curiosity prompts me to check my phone, so it kinda works)
