I have many of her older decks of cards & books. In the last... 5 years she’s done compilations with other authors. I don’t think they are as good as her old work. If I could get my money back for this app, I would. 😕 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. ### 4/5 — Long messages get cut off *2018-04-10* When I get a notification & then open it, the app shows me a different message. Then, when I go back to that notification to re-read it, it’s gone. Kind of frustrating. Other than that, I love this app & the shorter messages I get the entirety of. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you for your great review and feed back. Please email support@oceanhousemedia.com for further assistance. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2018-03-17* I find the messages relevant and timely. **Developer response:** Thank you for your great review and feed back. We are thrilled you are enjoying the app. ### 5/5 — IN Gratitude *2017-10-10* Sometimes I'm almost in tears with joy from the affirming messages. I am deeply grateful for this app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your amazing review and feedback. We are thrilled you are enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Healing AF *2017-09-28* Love this App! Thank you for creating this wonderful gift! Archangel Raphael was clearly channeled in the making of this :) ### 5/5 — Inspiring and Beautiful!! *2017-09-17* I recommend this app to everyone! **Developer response:** Thank you for your amazing review and feedback. We are thrilled you are enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — I really am grateful for this app *2017-09-15* I love chatting with Archangel Raphael. The energy coming through is quite different to the Archangel Michael app. The Archangel comes through as also kind and caring but softer and still he has the ability to pull you up gently if you have been a bit slow getting the message deliberately or not. This energy is also non judge mental and loving more like communicating with a caring friend who gives excellent direction. Thankyou Doreen Virtue and Oceanhouse Media for creating and providing this wonderful app. Radharani Stead Capricorn a Dragon Card Readings **Developer response:** Thank you for your amazing review and feedback. We are thrilled you are enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Archangel Raphael Oracle *2017-09-10, version 1.5.3* Love this App. ### 2/5 — Its ok *2017-07-11, version 1.5.2* I think this app is very expensive for what you get. ### 5/5 — 🙏❤️ *2017-07-09, version 1.5.2* I'm humbled by the messages I recieve everday that appear at the right time...love this app ❤️❤️❤️ ### 4/5 — Great App - pls stop cross selling. *2017-05-19, version 1.5.2* Love the app and messages. But I do not want the app to stop working until I am forced to see promotions for new apps. This could be expected in a free app, not paid. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Angel Messages WONT WORK on iphone! *2024-05-07* I paid over $30 for all these Radleigh Valentine Ange message apps, & soon after. setting it up to send daily messages, it STOPPED SENDING the daily messages and I tried everything and still they all stopped working after a few weeks. Now waste of $. ! disappointing! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work. *2022-04-09* It has a timer where you can set up the app to “text” you after two hours or whatever time you choose. IT DOES NOT WORK. **Developer response:** Please email support@oceanhousemedia.com and we can further assist. ### 1/5 — Sick of being asked to relaunch app *2021-12-03* Years ago I purchased the Jesus and several of the angel apps. I used to enjoy these very much. However nowadays every time I turn around I’m being directed to relaunch the apps if I’m enjoying using them. This isn’t right. I set the hours/frequency and feel this should remain until I wish to change ….I’ve tried contacting customer service a few times and have never received a reply about this issue. I highly suspect that the intrusion on their part is a marketing ploy because every time I’m forced to relaunch app they try getting me to purchase another. Not happy. **Developer response:** The way these apps are are programmed, the app is required to be launched every so often. If the app is not launched on a somewhat regular basis, the messages will eventually stop being delivered… until the app is launched again. It is part of the architecture of these particular apps. Please email support@oceanhousemedia.com for further assistance. ### 1/5 — Message *2020-01-26, version 1.6.1* The same message is coming up all the time. Also when I set it up to show on my screen like I do with the others, it doesn’t come up ### 1/5 — New version Rachel *2019-10-28* Not as good as the old ocean house deck where you could shuffle the cards Since my phone updated I can’t bring up the older Version of the app which I truly enjoyed **Developer response:** Please email support@oceanhousemedia.com and we are happy to assist with this. ### 1/5 — Pass *2019-03-19* I have quite a few DV apps and was eager for the archangel sets... only they’re like a combination magic 8 ball toy /fortune cookie message. On both apps, the messages bland, lacking depth and never seem to match any situation. Between these sets and the failure of the developer to update several apps for later iOS versions, these were my last DV purchases ever made. As others have noted, these apps are glitchy and just don’t quite work **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. This app has been updated. Please email support@oceanhousemedia.com for further assistance. ### 1/5 — Nope. *2018-11-01* This is the most generic answers app its an insult Its literally consulting a magic 8 ball "Go outside in nature for the answers" Basically if you are 1 percent spiritual the stuff u already know lol. The ask angels app actually has more insightful input so I thought Id give it a try. I guess silly me for expecting more but still Dont waste 5 bucks **Developer response:** I’m sorry and we want to make this right for you. Please reach us at support@oceanhousemedia.com so we can best assist. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-07-10* I love Doreen Virtue, but these angel apps are of extremely poor quality. I bought the 4 archangel bundle and they haven’t worked right from the very beginning. Set times for reminders go back to pre-set and erase the ones I put in. Notification when tapped takes you to a completely different message and you can’t find the one that was in your notifications. Certain messages do NOT apply-I got one about how if someone reminds me of a parent it is a loving healing sign-which is absolutely NOT the case for me. I don’t ever want to see that message again and of course it’s the only one that shows up EVERY SINGLE DAY and never goes away. The “ask” function doesn’t work. I could go on-the horribly poor quality of these apps is something the developer should be ashamed of. As I said, I’m a big DV fan, but these apps are AWFUL and a complete waste of money. Hope I can get a refund. **Developer response:** I appreciate your honest feedback and am truly sorry. We are happy to refund your purchase. Please email support@oceanhousemedia.com so we can best assist you. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2016-12-11, version 1.4* It never opens except to ask me if I want to buy a calendar. I want my money back. I will post the same to Doreen Virtue and call my bank to initiate a refund should you not return my payment by Monday morning. I won't be purchasing the new one either. I'm very disappointed. E Henry ### 1/5 — Freezes constantly *2016-10-06, version 1.3* This app needs major work, it freezes regularly and drops out. Waste of money until problems are fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2020-12-31, version 1.6.1* I really love these Archangel apps and get real inspiration from their messages. Thank you ### 5/5 — I love it... *2020-02-03* Make me feel more close to Ángels and the reminders keep me focus **Developer response:** Thank you for the great review and feedback. We are thrilled you are enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Very Inspiring *2020-01-02* It is very motivating to receive these positive messages. **Developer response:** Thank you for the great review and feedback. We are thrilled you are enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-10-27* I really love the app but have a frustration with it. When the message pops up you see part of it. When I tap it to see the whole message it goes immediately to the app but the message displayed is not the one I got. **Developer response:** Thanks for the wonderful review and feedback! We are thrilled you are enjoying the app! Please email support@oceanhousemedia.com and we are happy to assist! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2019-09-17* I am so glad to have these inspirational messages, they help me stay positive. I see them as just that, and not a substitute for a relationship with God. I am so glad they are still available as I don’t believe Doreen Virtue supports them anymore **Developer response:** Thank you for your 5 Star Review of the app. We are thrilled you are enjoying the Archangel Raphael Guidance app! ### 5/5 — I love the app *2019-04-28* I use this app to get messages through the day. I have set the hours I want to receive them and they are always on point. I don’t ask question I just allow the info to be given to me. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and 5 Star Review! We are thrilled you are enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-02-13, version 1.5.3* I bought the package and now I don’t get any daily updates from any of them, loved it when it worked, not so happy that none of them work anymore . Please fix the app ### 5/5 — I love it 😊 *2018-09-12, version 1.5.3* This app is terrific! One comment I have though is that when I try to save the Reading it doesn’t work ### 5/5 — Healthy for the heart *2018-07-31, version 1.5.3* This app is great, It allowed me to do great steps in introspection and self healing, with Archangel Raphael app by your side you can’t go wrong. I found this app quite useful in times of need. ### 5/5 — Delightful *2018-06-11* The pop up messages are truly lovely **Developer response:** Thank you for your great review and feed back. We are thrilled you are enjoying the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
