### 4/5 — Notifications

*2020-02-10, version 2.4*

Love this app helps me to think more positively. I only wish the divine aspirations would notify me on my lock screen rather then having to go into the app to see them.

### 2/5 — Great concept, doesn’t send notifications

*2019-05-22, version 2.4*

The concept of affirmations you can set yourself appearing randomly throughout the day is brilliant. I got push notifications the first day I tried it all within 30 minutes of each other. I figured that was just because I started in the afternoon the first day and hoped they would be more spaced out in the future, but since then I have gotten none. Has this app been abandoned?

### 2/5 — Great when it worked

*2019-05-20*

I loved this app for the first day that it worked but it no longer notifies and I haven’t heard from app support with my query.

### 3/5 — Reminders don’t work

*2019-04-17*

I downloaded this for the sole purpose of helping remind me to look at my affirmations. 
Day 1 worked brilliantly (although time seems to not cater for daylight savings so is an hour out). 
Day 2 onwards no reminders. 

I’ve been back in to set them up again, it seems to work for one day then stop. 

Such a great idea, but it needs to work consistently please.

### 3/5 — Bugs with App Store

*2018-11-22*

I hope you fix the bug on the iPhone app because it doesn’t still have the reminder feature .., it’s a great app though

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2018-08-29, version 2.3*

I love this app! Thanks for creating it Justin!  I wish it would send notifications. Also, if it could either save some of my created affirmations for later or allow me to snooze them that would be great. Sometimes I like an affirmation, but feel like I need to focus on other ones for this particular time.

### 3/5 — LOVE this app but notifications still not showing

*2018-08-26, version 2.3*

This is an amazing app! The 3 notifications per day were awesome!!! This was really helping me.  They’ve worked randomly since the app update but not consistently like they were before iOS 11. Please bring this feature back in the next update 🙏🙏

### 4/5 — Notifications

*2018-08-12, version 2.3*

When I first downloaded maybe two years ago, the app worked perfectly. Many notifications throughout the day. And then I had noticed that I hadn’t gotten an notification in a few days. Some days passed and I still hadn’t gotten any. So I uninstalled. I tried to look for similar apps but nothing came close. So just recently I reinstalled. I noticed that there was an update focused on the notifications. I started getting the notifications but maybe only twice a day. I have maybe eight or nine personal affirmations to be reminded of. But I hardly see any pop up. I love this app. Please do something about it.

### 2/5 — Don’t get notified

*2018-07-03*

Notifications don’t work on my IPhone even though i activated them... any ideas please? Thanks

### 3/5 — Almost perfect...

*2018-06-22, version 2.3*

This app would be perfect if it just went through your whole affirmation list! I always receive the same one like three times in a row. Please let it allow us to go through the whole list and then repeat any of them if we want to. Also I would pay for a version that had no ads on it.

### 2/5 — Does not work properly

*2018-06-18*

Unfortunately this app DOES NOT allow you to create your own affirmations as advertised. The ‘reminder’ feature also does not work either. This app would be better if it was improved regularly to ensure works

### 3/5 — No notification reminders

*2018-06-16, version 2.3*

This app is actually pretty cool but even after all the updates for the app and my iPhone 7 Plus, the hourly scheduled reminders are still not showing up on my phone. If I delete the app and download it again, will it delete the affirmations I already have on there?

### 3/5 — The timed reminders no longer work!

*2018-04-24, version 2.2*

I’ve had this app for a while now and used to receive notifications with random affirmations I’d selected. It stopped working so I updated the app and it still doesn’t work. I’m not sure what happened. I select the time I want to be reminded and the reminder never comes through and I’ve checked my phone settings over and over again to make sure they are updated. Please fix this. I’m sure I’m not the only one with this problem. Thanks.

### 2/5 — LOVE the concept, never received notifications

*2018-04-17, version 2.2*

I have an iPhone6 IOS 11.3; which is currently the most recent update. Followed steps, chose one affirmation from app and set 2 custom affirmations of my own. Set to 3 daily notifications. As other reviews mentioned I never received any notifications and the app only shows you the first affirmation you selected when opening the app. There’s no randomness to it. Seems like a wonderful app when functions as stated. Hope this is fixed I would love to update my rating. ❤️💫

### 3/5 — Like / hate. The good, bad, and ugly

*2018-04-04, version 2.2*

I’ll start by saying that I use this app and will continue to use it. 

I like the haptics (sound and vibration) that go with the affirmations. I like that I can create as many of my own affirmations as I want. I like that I can read them silently or out loud - the app doesn’t read them to me, which is a good thing. 

I don’t like that the randomizer really is totally random, which means often the same affirmation will come up multiple times in a row and some affirmations hardly come up at all. I don’t like that the reminder notification never shows up even though I have it turned on in the settings. (In fairness, there are other apps I use whose notifications don’t show up, so it’s probably a general problem.)

I HATE that there’s no way to get rid of the ads. I would gladly pay for the app to have an ad-free version. I imagine the developers get more from ad fees than they would from app purchases, but still - ewwww.

### 3/5 — Worked great

*2018-03-20*

It was working great for several weeks but I haven't gotten a notification in at least 2 weeks :( it was really helpful and now it's just another useless app

### 2/5 — No notifications

*2018-03-06, version 2.2*

This app worked okay for me for a few days. I was having trouble with creating my own affirmations and deleting the default one but I was making it work. The button is a cool idea and liked getting the random notifications. After updating to iOS 11 I stopped getting notifications. I deleted the app and recently reinstalled since there appeared to be an update for iOS 11. The issue with creating my own affirmations appears to have resolved. However, still not getting notifications. Would change rating if this issue could be addressed.

### 3/5 — No way to create my own affirmations

*2018-03-04, version 2.2*

I just downloaded yesterday. Overall I like it so far but there is no way to create my own affirmations, nothing on the available screens displays the feature.  If it did all that it claims I would give it a better rating.

### 3/5 — Love the App but not the Ads

*2018-02-28, version 2.2*

I think this is a great app. I love the intention behind it and it’s pretty well built. But I wish Justin, that there was an option to opt out of the bombardment of ads. Every time you “fulfill” an affirmation.. You’re faced with an advertisement to buy something.
I’m sure this is good for your pocketbook. But, it’s really distracting for users, who are trying to get into a mindset.. which I believe the app is created to foster.

Could you not offer a paid version of the app which could do away with the Ads?

Thanks and kind regards

### 3/5 — Weak Application, Powerful Affirmations

*2018-01-25, version 2.2*

I thought this was going to be a cool application, an easy one for me to break into affirmations with. However this doesn’t do as promised. I do not get my three scheduled alerts a day, the “random” affirmations continuously repeat the same ones- some are the same back to back, the ads after every single affirmation, .. it’s just weak. I like the affirmations they provide though, they are straightforward and powerful. I’ll be taking those down in a journal and will be deleting the app. Wouldn’t recommend anyone download unless you’re wishing to find new affirmations or wish to get into the habit of repetition. The “affirm” button is kinda cool .. i guess🤷🏾‍♀️

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-05-16*

Simply doesn’t work, haven’t received a single reminder. Did all the troubleshooting I could find, nothing fixed it. I also emailed support for help as I really wanted to use this app, but no one ever responded.

### 1/5 — Please read support email and please update.

*2018-04-05, version 2.2*

Hi!  I feel like this would be an amazing app and before iOS 11 it probably was. However now it no longer sends divine timings and the affirmations you setup to pop up at certain times throughout the day does not work either. I have sent a few emails to support and they were not answered. I would suggest better service bc several reviews have advised the issues and requested an update.

### 1/5 — Notifications don’t work!

*2018-01-21*

When there’s a new update and the push notifications actually work I’ll download it again. Not sure why, I checked my settings and re-downloaded the app and still no luck!

### 1/5 — Was good when it worked

*2017-11-07*

This app needs updating it no longer works!

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2017-10-02*

Last affirmation came in 3 days ago. Doesn't work the way it is advertised. 👎🏻

### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads

*2017-05-04*

Best app if you want to subliminally buy stuff that you don't want. I would pay up to $5 to get this app if it didn't have the ads

### 1/5 — Rubbish App

*2016-09-11*

This app is terrible. Ads popping up all the time and impossible to change password.

### 1/5 — Please create an app that works

*2016-07-01*

Does nothing, terrible user experience, doesn't work, pop up ads take over every second! 

I love what you do on YouTube and other social media, but this app is terrible! Please create one that works. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Not good👎🏼

*2015-07-04*

I was so excited when I seen this app, but so disappointing. No substance. Deleted it right away #bummer

### 1/5 — Can't log in

*2015-06-01*

Won't let me past sign up! Please fix. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Thankful for this app

*2020-05-07, version 2.4*

This app is simple yet so powerful. I love the reminders during the days. I like that it allows me to add my own affirmations. I like the repetitive and vibration while repeating the affirmations. It really helps uplift my vibes. Thank you 🙏🏽

### 5/5 — Amazingly simple and powerful!

*2019-08-20, version 2.4*

I paired using this app with a 21 day fast and let me tell you, the results brought manifestations so crazy fast! 
Don’t forget to meditate!

### 5/5 — Love

*2019-01-30*

I still love this app and use it regularly after months of using it. Thankyou so much Justin! I will carry on recommending this to likeminded friends xxx

### 5/5 — Stopped working

*2018-10-27, version 2.3*

I love this app but it has stopped giving me affirmation notifications. I don’t want to use another affirmation app because this one was perfect. Please update it and fix the bug. Thank you

### 5/5 — Paid version?

*2018-07-04, version 2.3*

Any way you could add a feature to pay for the ads to go away? I like that this is a free app, but I’d LOVE to not be reminded that we live in a world so fixated on selling us ideas through ads!

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-06-18*

I have had this app for awhile and not done anything with it. It must have had an update as I now get reminders through the day to do affirmations. I believe that you can set your own affirmations which is awesome. I am going to have a much better look in to the app now.
Thanks

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-03-25, version 2.2*

Wonderful app and concept! 

Only suggestion is to fix were I click my affirmation in the notification center to actually show. It usually goes to the app and sits on the main screen.

Update: Fixed

### 5/5 — I love this app.

*2017-11-14, version 2.0.3*

Thank you Justin for creating this app and the law of attraction app as well. For this app, I love that I can create my own affirmations. I wouldn't mind paying for a non-ad version though. I think that's the only thing that would make this app better; a paid, non advertisement version.

### 5/5 — Please update!

*2017-11-04, version 2.0.3*

I love this app and it was really making a difference for me. But with the last few iPhone updates the app has stopped sending the divinely timed affirmation notifications. All my notifications are turned on for the app but it’s still not working. Please update and fix this issue!

### 5/5 — Love this app but

*2017-08-03, version 2.0.3*

I've noticed that some affirmations i wrote in are more repetitive than others. I have the Three divine timing option set and yesterday 2/3  of them were the same affirmation. Still a cool app though
