It’s so awesome and the messages are always right on time. Iyanla puts lots of love and effort behind all of her products and services. If her name is on it, you can rest assured that the quality is there as well. ### 5/5 — Limited *2025-08-26, version 1.0.12* The daily messages are helpful, but for a the additional wake up cost the daily message should start automatically. Also, the message should display more than header of the principals. For the additional cost the app is limited. ### 5/5 — A Blessing *2025-07-26, version 1.0.12* I’ve been using this app for 3 yrs now and it continues to be a blessing to my soul.

It is my single go-to for my daily practice. Clear, concise, well thought out, and well articulated for reflection throughout my day. I listen in the very early am. I reflect and listen again while making some notes and I listen a third time at the end of my day to bring the offerings full circle. This has been life changing and so instrumental to my personal growth over the years. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-03, version 1.0.12* It touch my soul I needed that blessings and love.

I’ve recommended this App to all my friends and students too. ### 5/5 — You’ve come to the right place. *2025-05-25, version 1.0.12* I could never say enough! Sister Iyanla has done IT once again!!! To that, for that, I say, Ase’ and Thank you. Her delivery is sweet, stern and always insightful. She makes you self-reflect without regret. The welcome is warm, the ushering is inviting and the visit will leave you fulfilled!!! Tap in and See, hear, feel… ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2025-05-22, version 1.0.12* This is an incredible daily app. It’s also great to hear Iyanla’s voice. And I love the alarm reminder feature. I am filled with gratitude. ### 5/5 — Spiritual coach *2025-04-26, version 1.0.11* I’ve become accustomed to hearing the melodic voice of Iyanla each day. I’ve upgraded to 3 principles a day. I find that making a daily practice of becoming in the stillness ground me. My very own spiritual coach. Love and blessings. ✨⭐️💫🌟❤️ ### 5/5 — A wake … come back to life *2025-04-04, version 1.0.11* Amazingly needed ### 5/5 — My Other Grace that carries me everyday *2025-03-25, version 1.0.11* This app is my fuel and my morning grace,….it guides me and every word she says is music to my ear… it has blessed me and guided me …held my hand thru this beautiful journey …thank u thank you ..for sharing your gift. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2024-11-22, version 1.0.11* It’s very soothing I enjoy very much very interested no complaints so far. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not accessible to deaf community *2023-11-10, version 1.0.10* I was excited about this app and downloaded it fully hoping to “hear” Ms Iyanla’s teaching. However the app doesn’t have captioning and when I sent email to support all I got back was a canned response “thanks for feedback, we will consider your input in future releases”. I hope someone closer to the top of Iyanlas work team will see this and pass it along. Not only is it excluding a very large population but it doesn’t seem like something she would promote as ok. ### 1/5 — App Not Workimg *2022-02-16, version 1.0.9* This app doesn’t come on! I paid for an annual account and it’s never worked, just flashes on the screen it never opens. Love Iyanla and will change rating when help is received. ### 1/5 — The subscription features do not work and the developer cannot be contacted *2019-12-20, version 1.0.7* I love the free version and subscribed for a year to unlock the additional content. But the app is buggy and does not recognise my subscription. When I’ve tried to contact the developer no contact method works — no good links to report problems, no ability to contact through website. So a waste of money! ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-10-18, version 1.0.6* Can’t get in touch with developer at all. Not making themselves Available to report ### 1/5 — Glitches in the app *2018-10-05, version 1.0.1* I love you but this app won’t even open ### 2/5 — After updating *2026-06-29, version 1.0.16* I have been using this app for 5years and really enjoyed it. However since recent update the 3 principles have been stuck for last 4days. I have canceled and reloaded and still the same. Very disappointing. ### 2/5 — App still buggy *2020-05-16, version 1.0.7* I love Iyanla as a human and will not ask for my money back as I have learned so much from watching her on other social platforms, but.... this app ... SMH.... the volume is seriously low ... when I need to wake up at 5:30 in the morning there is no way I will be able to her her wake up call . You need to quadruple that volume ! Seriously !PLEASE FIX ! Also, the save button does not work. And one more thing ... the wake up call message stops halfway through Iyanla speaking and doesn’t finish . I have just bought this app and have it for the year, so would be most grateful if I could utilise this purchase . Thankyou ### 2/5 — Inspirational but should be able to review from past days. *2019-12-06, version 1.0.7* I’m not always a fan of Iyanla Vanzant’s show, but I enjoyed her book of daily devotionals and thought this might be similar. I was right, I really enjoy the 3 daily principals that include a journaling topic. What I don’t like is you’re unable to go back and see the principles for the days you missed or would like to revisit. I’d like to clarify my review in response to the developer comment: my comment isn’t about wanting to look to the past per se. It would be nice to save your favorite principles and/or to have access to more than 1 principle at a time with the paid subscription. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Repetion of principals *2019-11-17, version 1.0.6* I have had this app for over one year and enjoyed it.., however I was not going to renew it but they took the money out. I am not happy paying to keep listening to the same principals repeated constantly or changed around . I love Iyanla but she is mis selling and not delivering on her people who look forward to knew information but to be served with old material everyday. Currently not satisfied Rgds. ### 2/5 — Love it!? *2018-11-01, version 1.0.3* You are a life saver!! I listen to this everyday and have subscribed! It’s worth it! I have family members who have also subscribed! I am in a rough place right now but your coaching is bringing me out!! I watch your shows as well. Keep up Gods work woman of God!! But I don’t like the fact that the dates are not correct, the principles repeat themselves for other days and to be billed $6.58 with tax monthly I could take if everything was in order “my beloved”! I’m one who can’t pay yearly so month to month it is but don’t get me wrong, I pay for you are what I need to hear in the morning, but please straighten out those quirks that’s got your app looking and acting thrown together instead of put together professional please!

Her heart, her words, her intentions, and her overall vibe. This app is with me DAILY. I use it to help me ground each morning with my meditations for the past several years. I can live without my phone but not without this app. Thank you Ma ### 5/5 — My daily meditation routine *2025-12-31, version 1.0.15* A great way to start your day. Shifting your mindset allows you to look inward, examine your thoughts, and release what no longer serves you. ### 5/5 — Quality content *2025-12-25, version 1.0.14* The internet is full of fluff, slop even. It’s great to have quality resources created with love. And her voice is the perfect medium for the message --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
