User reviews

Pretty fun

It’s pretty fun and they give you a compliment all the time

Stopped working

As the other reviews say, the app is sexist, but it also completely stopped working recently. I no longer have the notifications appear at all as they did before and my details keep disappearing from the settings... It was a very nice idea, but executed extremely poorly.

Yikes

When you set the gender as male, the compliments are all about leadership style, intelligence, etc. switch they gender to female and it’s all about physical appearance and looking hot. It’s 2018 folks!

At a Boy

Delightful!! You begin by getting a compliment, so it starts out happy. This makes you think positive thoughts which you can submit to the site.
You can submit by tapping the pen in the upper right corner. This makes you think positive thoughts to submit to the site. Each submission gives you a positive stroke which causes you to think more positive thoughts and begins a wonderful feedback loop. So good for the soul to create a joyful heart. Thank you
