### 5/5 — Helps a lot

*2024-07-09*

Much love to who made this

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-06-19, version 1.1*

Good

### 5/5 — simple. good. free. what more could one ask for?

*2024-05-19, version 1.1*

this is a must have for any iPhone user who seeks mindful productivity with their mobile device. this app has and will continue to deepen my relationship with self, and support a healthy relationship with my mobile device. 😌

~ maintaining my 5-star review, while simultaneously requesting some developer focus on more reliable mac widget integration.

it would appear as though the widget disappears and reappears as an option due to discrepancies that occur between software updates to mac/ios.

having a constant flow of wisdom and grace on both my computer and phone are an amazing blessing. would love to create more fidelity within that experience for myself and for others 🙏🏾.

### 5/5 — Wonderful and perfectly customizable

*2024-02-07, version 1.1*

My therapist suggested that I should find some sort of affirmations app and this one was it after searching!
 - no ads
 - fidget capabilities (make sure your phone's haptics are on)
 - steady breathing page
 - can filter affirmations to avoid triggers etc.
 - customizable aesthetics and readability

my favorite things though are:
 - being able to schedule or have randomly timed affirmations between certain hours!
 - changing the app icon
 - how the affirmations are deep and thoughtful! usually they're nice to see but sometimes they really get me out of a thought spiral/general funk

much thanks to the dev! <3

Look, I don’t write reviews of apps, but I just had to make an exception for this one. This app is a game changer for me. It’s particularly helped keeping my perspective positive. I have the Widget set up on my landing page of my phone. So when I open my phone, these messages are the first thing I see. AND THE FIDGET FEATURE?!!! Amazing.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1 — 2022-02-07

Bug fixes and performance improvemen-

Just kidding. Hey everyone! After finishing up my undergrad and working for the past month, it's time for an update with some highly requested features.

-- Custom Date Overrides --
The Australians have spoken: You can now set the Summer affirmations to show during December, and Winter affirmations to show in July. Simply choose start and end dates for a section (if supported), and it will be shown on the new dates you select.

-- Editing Custom Affirmations --
Instead of having to delete and retype a custom affirmation, you can now simply tap on it and fix that typo or change that word.

These are the two hallmark features of this update, but don't be fooled! This update is full of small fixes and additions that might be unnecessary, but definitely welcome. Thank you for using Affirmations, and enjoy the update!

Affirmations will never interrupt or incessantly bug you for a rating. If you like the app, consider leaving a review!
