Really helpful!

Saw the app advertised on Facebook, ignored the feeling “could be a scam”, closed my eyes and subbed the three-month trial for just under 50 Euros. I have been using Aligned for the past week and have got so much decluttering done. Yes, it’s AI. Yes, it’s not a human coach. But between being a full-time college teacher and dept. head together with caring for my elderly Mum, I was completely exhausted. No energy to tackle decluttering or staying on top of household chores. 24/7 survival mode. My virtual coach “Cal” has helped me to get a shedload of decluttering done this week. I find the daily insights incredibly helpful and motivating. Once I finish the three-month subscription, I will definitely renew - next time for a year.

Thank you for giving it a chance despite the doubt — and for sharing what your weeks actually look like. Carrying a full-time job and care for your Mum leaves nothing in the tank, so every bit of decluttering you got done this week is a real win. We'll make sure Cal keeps earning that renewal.

Too early

To early to tell so will update when I had it a while ago

Fair enough — take your time. If anything feels confusing while you settle in, support@aligned.guru is there, and we'd love to hear how it's going once you've given it a few weeks.

I don’t get it

So, I clicked on an ad on instagram which says „hot take for all my bed toting girlies. if you’re depressed…..a girl at Harvard built an app….“ and got lead through a bunch of questions. Then I paid 28€ for something I thought was a cute app. Then I got sent a document with pages, I could’ve design myself? It’s in black and white nothing wild, pretty empty. Then downloading the app I was like „what is this???“ AI coaches? I actually thought I would get a cute app (as advertised), where I can manage my habits etc.
I’ve read there is a refund possibility, this is so not worth it.

An update on your case: we believe we've found your request, and if so — it's resolved: your payment has been refunded in full and the subscription cancelled, within days of your purchase. On the mismatch itself, we hear you: Aligned is an AI coach that builds your plan in conversation and follows up on your habits — the document is only an add-on, not the product. We're sorry the ad set a different picture. If the refund doesn't show on your card, write to support@aligned.guru.

Unbelievable app

Unbelievably helpful! It's especially fantastic for people with physical limitations and/or ADHD.

Can't upgrade it

My system is ios16.3.1,Maybe you could include my system too? I'd really love to keep using this app. Thx

Cannot cancel

I have been trying for two months to cancel this monthly subscription and I cannot cancel it. I have emailed them and I have tried to cancel through Apple.

Works great

Totally worth it! It has really helped me get through the clutter and build my routine

Refund denied

I signed up after watching a very promising ad. It wasn’t until after my purchase that there was any mention of this app using AI. I immediately requested a refund. But because their response was to give it a try, and I didn’t see said response until after the 14 day mark, they refuse to refund me. Also, there was an add on that was accidentally purchased (I wonder if they do this purposefully?) which they were able to refund. But I am still flabbergasted that they won’t refund the original $20. No wonder they have horrible billing and customer service reviews.

It’s early but…

It’s helping a ton. I’ve been using it a week and I feel like I’m finally making progress. I’m dedicating 5 minutes a day and tackling things that have taken me months to do. Even when I REALLY don’t want to do anything I just tell myself “it’s just 5 minutes” and it’s actually been working and I can push through 5 minutes. Who knew this could really be so helpful. Also, I can get a ton of stuff done in 5 minutes. I didn’t realize how much to be honest.

Thank you! Starting is always the hardest part, and you've found your way past it. We're cheering for you — may the progress keep stacking up.

Great start

I feel successfull right now. Signed up, have had help
working out some goals. And got a couple of the worst tasks done.

Avoid this app

Signed up for the 1 month trial and was charged an additional $39.99. When reporting the additional charge I was informed that I unintentionally bought the Life Management Bundle. Which I didn’t because I used Apple Pay and did not check out a separate time.
Scam a best.

Can’t Unsubscribe

Don’t get this app. I’ve tried twice to unsubscribe with no success. I couldn’t find a way to unsubscribe via the app and iPhone, so I tried emailing them with no response.

Could be better

This works well for task management and breaking large tasks into manageable chunks. It advertised the ability to look at a picture and help you know where to start- it can't go that. It also has memory management challenges and freezes up once you've used it a while. Response time is often slow.

Good so far

I like the help with setting goals and tasks. It’s helpful to get a different viewpoint on something you feel has been overwhelming, and then breaking it down further into goals and tasks has been perfect for my ADHD brain. We’ll continue to see how it goes.

So helpful

So helpful to just get things out!! Would be great if there was a bit more rentention of already given info

Response from developer

Thank you! And noted on the memory — we’re actively improving how the coach retains what you’ve already told it.

Switch and bait

I have been seeing ads for a while. The as was take a picture and it will tell you exactly what to tackle. Very step by step the video was of a mud room. There were shoes and coats and other things. Video indicated all the things to put away to make the room tidy. That is what I thought I was signing up for. Very misleading and all you get is clean kitchen for 20 mins. Wow Einstein why didn’t I think of that. How do I cancel and I would like a refund. Can’t believe I fell for this switch and bait scam!

Just started Using

Love the coaching feature to be able and tell someone what all is essentially happening in your life and have them ask the difficult questions and answer honestly, opens a new way of thinking and the push you need sometimes to eventually meet your goals. Chatted with Sage today and enjoyed my experience. Excited to try the new way of thinking and see if that helps me achieve my goals on a daily basis. Thank you!!

The difficult questions and the honest answers — that’s where the shift happens, and it sounds like Sage found it with you on day one. Thank you, and good luck with your goals!

Easy to use

Simple easy tasks. One at a time

Terrible experience, save your money

Tried the subscription and service on a discounted rate and wanted to re evaluate the service once my 3 months was up. Being that the service was offered in that way, one would think that a reminder of service renewal would happen. Only it did not; $80 for another 3 months of an app I did not use or enjoy. Customer service also seems to be ran by AI bots and refused to give me my money back even right after catching the draft from my account seconds later. Would not recommend this service to anyone in this economy.

Overwhelmed

Update: I received a very kind response. Thank you for taking into consideration where a person may be at when reaching out for this help.
*This app starts off barraging you with questions that don’t quit. I got angry with how difficult it is to just understand what it is. It is also expensive and then it asks me to review before anything is even shown to me. I’m being honest. Right now I don’t like this and it’s just too much too soon.

Response from developer

Fair points, honestly taken. The early questions are how the coach builds your personal plan, but the balance clearly felt off — and asking for a review that early is on us. We’re taking both to the team. If you’re open to it, support@aligned.guru — we’ll help you get to the good part.
