And then gives you an AI prompt on ways to do better. Unfortunately the criticisms aren’t very helpful as they are vague, and don’t give you concrete examples to work off of. In some cases I’ve submitted the exact same reply only to get completely different grade which leaves you a little unsure that you are ever actually improving. It gives you a lot to think about, and in a way it is good practice, but you will be left wondering how a perfect response might look even when the app is saying you didn’t hit the mark. Expected a little more from a $40 app. ### 2/5 — Unable to customize lessons *2024-08-01, version 2.2.3* Without the ability to choose which lessons, and only one short lesson a day, this is not giving me the intense satisfaction of learning better communication techniques. The scenarios are written for you. They’re all work related and very simple. I was looking for something that would rate my conversation skills as they are and help me learn better ways to respond to situations with as much vigor and time as I was willing to spend. So far I’m not getting what was advertised. What is taught in this app could be explained in a 20 minute YouTube video. The bonus games at the bottom are more helpful for me, but still so basic, totally not worth the 10 bucks. I was surprised the app doesn’t first ask if you are looking for help with personal or professional conversations so at least it could customize the scenarios but no, they are all professional related. Waste of money in my opinion. ### 2/5 — Don’t get it *2024-01-14, version 2.2.2* It’s not worth it , you pay a lot of money for a 2 minute practice for 14 days . Might sound good but the practices are very unhelpful and never addressed your concerns. ### 1/5 — It’s too short for the price *2023-11-02, version 2.2.2* Only did 14 trials and that’s it for the amount of money this cost I wouldn’t recommend it. ### 2/5 — Update/ Add a randomizer *2023-05-03, version 2.0.1* When I got a question incorrect I had to restart from the beginning of the question list. It would be better if I had the chance to correct my mistake or see the “correct” response. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Liars *2026-03-25, version 3.0.4* They promised a 100% money back guarantee and they never gave me my refund. Whenever I email them or try to get in contact with them they don’t answer ### 1/5 — The app keeps asking me to pay for use after I already paid once for lifetime access *2026-02-20, version 3.0.4* I paid for lifetime access and tried to log in and was prompted to pay again. I emailed customer service twice with screenshots of the issue and have not heard back. It has been 4 days and multiple emails and no response. I was waiting to leave a poor review just in case the company did respond and help to get things sorted. ### 1/5 — Not worthy *2026-02-08, version 3.0.4* This just gives you a few sentences of common knowledge about daily interactions, without any interaction, it gives tips that a 10 year old will know. you will learn nothing with this app. Don’t waste your time and money. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2026-02-01, version 3.0.4* I wondered why there was no free trial but i figured its only $34 and they have a money back guarantee. Well i was wrong you can’t get your money back. Turns out this is a very limited functioning app i can do this with Chat gpt now im stuck with an app not suitable for someone neurodivergent. Apple refuses to give me my money back and the app support will not respond. Save your money !!! ### 1/5 — App Function *2025-11-30, version 3.0.4* After adjusting the settings for how I’d like to learn, the app doesn’t go any further. It says “Get huge advantage with 10 min/day” and there is no button or swipe action to continue further. I restarted, deleted and reinstalled but still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-11, version 3.0.4* Seriously!? I payed for the lifetime subscription and get text lessons and need to finish 10 to unlock voice??? Thats a bssss. ### 1/5 — Great idea, but has a huge bug *2025-03-26, version 3.0.4* The idea is wonderful! However, after I completed the quiz, I was brought to a screen that showed percentages of people who practice, and people who don’t, and there was no way to exit the screen and move forward with the app, making me unable to use the app ### 1/5 — Does not save data *2025-03-23, version 3.0.4* The paid version doesn’t work. It does not save any data. ### 1/5 — Not what I was looking for at all *2025-02-14* situational text based conversations. Not helpful for real world situations imo. **Developer response:** 2025 – BRAND NEW APP VERSION with AI Thank you for your feedback!

We're here to help! ### 1/5 — Don't get it, this should've been free with ads. *2024-05-09, version 2.2.3* You get a 2 minute training session for 14 days and then nothing else afterwards, no updates, nothing further. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Scam app *2026-03-11, version 3.0.4* I purchased the lifetime subscription and after using this app for only a couple of months every time I go to use the app it wants me to purchase it all over again. I either want my money back or to regain access as the app itself seemed helpful. ### 5/5 — Just finished onboarding *2026-01-16, version 3.0.4* Who knows if it’s effective or it I just started ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-04, version 3.0.4* This a great app overall after the update I just purchased the subscription but I’m wondering if your able to add more animation to make it more engaging for example something like (Duolingo). Especially now since you have the ability to incorporate ai this is more possible to get it tailored to individual needs. ### 5/5 — so far so good but it’s early. *2024-11-04, version 2.2.3* so far so good but it’s early. i’ll update after i give this app a genuine try. ### 5/5 — New training and it’s fun! *2023-07-03, version 2.1.3* What a nice way to train to be a true professional! After all, when you can’t use chat gpt in the office, you can learn and apply the conversational skills here in the office as if you were using open .AI. This app is like chat gpt in your head. ### 5/5 — Calming *2023-04-30, version 2.0.1* Loved using this app. Growing up as an only child with one emotionally avoidant parent, some of these empathy driven responses don’t come natural to my brain. That only child, hyper independent problem solver reflex is stronger. I’m 26 now, dealing with many people and a desire to be a better friend, co- worker, person emerged in the last few years. Thank you to the creators of this app. Story telling is a powerful way to learn, this app allows the user self reflection in these scenarios to ensure they approach situations properly. It’s not about WHAT is said, it’s HOW it’s said. This app provides a space for you to see it depicted. Highly recommend! ### 4/5 — Excited to use this app *2025-03-26, version 3.0.4* I just started using this app, and I’m already impressed. The onboarding was super easy and even a little fun, which made getting started a breeze. I’m really looking forward to spending more time exploring all the features before sharing a more in-depth review, but so far I’m excited for the potential! -Stay tuned! ### 4/5 — Unable to customize lessons *2024-07-25* Without the ability to choose which lessons, and only one short lesson a day, this is not giving me the intense satisfaction of learning better communication techniques. The scenarios are written for you. I was looking for something that would let me rate my conversation skills as they are and help me learn better ways to respond to situations with as much vigor and time as I was willing to spend. It’s possible I have not figured out how to use it yet, but so far I’m not getting what was advertised. What is suggested in this app could be explained in a 20 minute YouTube video. The bonus games at the bottom are more helpful for me. I was surprised the app doesn’t first ask if you are looking for help with personal or professional conversations. ### 3/5 — Unable to customize lessons *2024-07-28* Without the ability to choose which lessons, and only one short lesson a day, this is not giving me the intense satisfaction of learning better communication techniques.

Without additional context you are forced to make up what “that” is. Either the user needs to be given more context or told they will need to fill in the gaps. This new Ai content feels like it wasn’t properly vetted and is frustrating to the end user. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
