I have also emailed and WhatsApp support for this app and no replies. What’s going on? ### 4/5 — Can be helpful *2026-03-08* Sometimes hits the nail right on the head for the kind of things one should know but sometimes can’t see. ### 3/5 — Good app but glitchy *2025-12-10* I think this is a good app so far. There’s been some glitches with the it…delays in the daily question loading and the music should change as well. It seems like it’s always the same when the coach dialogue is running. You should have more styles like cinematic, calming, etc. like coordinated with the background you choose (arena is more upbeat, etc) although I haven’t tried the other coach styles other than one so I guess I’m unsure. Also I think you should be able to choose the style or accent of voice with the coach. Only male or female in one voice is limiting (think Waze or Siri having options like British accent, etc). But overall I think you’re on the right track with this. Maybe additional background options. I was trying to submit this via a survey in the app but it froze and wouldn’t allow me to submit my answers. Would like to get the bonus background it said I would receive. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for leaving a review and letting us know all of this! We recently pushed a new update that address the glitchiness with the daily questions, music, and tap to type button, and hopefully this makes the experience better. We want to make Dialed an amazing experience for you, so If you ever have any other issues feel free to reach out to hello@dialedmotivation.com Keep crushing it🔥 ### 5/5 — Just downloaded it *2025-10-07, version 2.0.8* I have a feeling it’s going to be worth it ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-10-03, version 2.0.7.3* Love this works like a charm! ### 5/5 — Does what it says: quick, custom motivation! *2025-10-02* If you need to get focused for work, increase your confidence to tackle something you’ve been putting off, or you simply want a reliable motivation solution on-call, this app does it. It’s not a meditation. It’s not generic fluff. You answer a few questions about the thing you need to do and why it is important to do, plus maybe a couple other questions and then *voila* customized hype-track to dial into your exact motivators! It’s audio plus cinematic soundtrack. Sometimes the result is so good, I take screenshots or try to save the result to re-listen, but it’s custom every time. Anyway, I love it. **Developer response:** Thank you for this amazing review, QualityToast! It means so much to hear that Dialed cuts through the generic fluff and delivers custom motivation exactly when you need to tackle something important. Our mission is to empower people to achieve their goals and dreams through a motivational companion that truly understands what drives them.

It’s been an absolute game changer in improving my productivity! Paul W ### 5/5 — Get the app! *2025-09-27, version 2.0.7.1* Would definitely recommend. Have seen notable boosts of motivation at work and the gym when using the app! ### 5/5 — I love it! *2025-09-26, version 2.0.7.1* This app is great! I struggle so much to find the motivation to not doom scroll on tik tok. Dialed reminds me that there are better things to do with my time. I find myself reading a book or going on a walk instead. ### 5/5 — CRAZY GOOD!! quick energy boost *2025-09-26* i was SO surprised by how well dialed works!!!!!! tldr TRY A SPEECH FOR YOURSELF. warning long glazing paragraph coming sorry: whenever i’m feeling low energy or lost on what to do, its been so easy to speak right to the app or type a couple phrases in, and then i get 60 seconds of really quality time. i kind of expected like AI generic blubber but, i felt like my actual problems were seen and heard because it was now externalized into this mini speaking coach. and instead of instagram quote vague advice, i feel like it sees right to the core of the problem and helps ME to pull MYSELF out of it, if that makes sense. the music is also so good, and i like that i usually get some kind of small starting action point or phrase that i can use to get me to start, when before i opened the app i felt lost in the chaos of my own mind or the work ahead of me. THANK YOU TO THE DEVELOPERS YOU ARE AMAZING!!! really appreciate you sharing this tool with us and i’m excited to see it help more and more ppl :)) **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the amazing review, n1ckname! It's incredible to hear that Dialed helped you feel seen and heard, and that the pep talks cut through to what you really needed in those moments of low energy or feeling lost.

It forces you to commit to the free trial with credit card information after the whole on-boarding process. ### 1/5 — Ramon *2025-12-09, version 2.1.2.6* The ai is bad the tap to type button doesn't work one star ### 1/5 — Dangerous *2025-12-02, version 2.1.2.5* I tried this app based on reading someone’s positive experience. I thought it was harmless. The feedback I received was so reckless that I shut down app, canceled subscription and felt I needed to write a review Warning others. ### 1/5 — Just useless *2025-11-19* Assumes you find it hard to start tasks for some reason **Developer response:** Hi Reviewlongtim, Thank you for the feedback! You've actually hit on exactly what we built Dialed for - helping people get started on tasks more easily in 60s. Whether someone occasionally needs a little push or frequently struggles with initiation, the personalized pep talks are designed to provide that extra spark of motivation and focus right in that moment. We see Dialed as a tool that works for everyone, not just those who find starting tasks difficult. That said, we genuinely want you to find value in the app and would love the opportunity to earn a better review from you. If there's something specific that didn't meet your expectations or if you have suggestions for improvements, please reach out to us at hello@dialedmotivation.com. Our development team is continuously updating the app, and we'd be happy to hear any ideas you have on what we could change or enhance. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! ### 1/5 — Gather your data and then requires money *2025-11-16, version 2.1.0* Why would you force me to rate your app before I even try it? Why do you ask me to enter screens and screens of data and then let me know that there is no free level after all that? If anyone really wants to pay for this AI rapper, just click out of the payment screen and it will offer it to you for half Price. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-10-15, version 2.0.9* Poor UX and, buggy interface and no real value. Save your money. ### 1/5 — boo *2025-09-15, version 2.0.5* didn’t realize the whole thing was paid… also all the quotes are men👎🏽 ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2024-12-21* I paid for a subscription, the 3-day “free trial” wasn’t free; it REQUIRED a paid subscription. So I paid but then tried to generate a pep talk and it said “error: unknown error occurred”. Hopefully I can get Apple to refund me. **Developer response:** We have fixed the problem causing the app to not work as expected! We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you email our support email we can refund you in full! ### 1/5 — Didn't Work *2024-12-06, version 1.101* Would just say unknown error has occurred ### 2/5 — Daily check-ins not working *2026-06-27* I paid for the year because I loved that I can process my emotions with the daily check-in side of the app. For the last 2 months that aspect on the app is not working. I have also emailed and WhatsApp support for this app and no replies. What’s going on? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Crucial *2026-07-15, version 2.2.0.4* I’ve spoken to one of the guys who is involved in this app and he invited me that they are no longer putting too much love into this one app instead they are working on their other app, but nonetheless this app has changed my life. I always gravitate towards it whenever I’m feeling under the weather or whatever it’s nice to have something that spelt just for me and not something that is on YouTube for millions of people to feed off of. ### 5/5 — ADHD must have *2026-01-23, version 2.2.0.3* On day one and love this if you struggle with adult ADHD this is a must have ### 5/5 — Love this! Small bug + reminder request *2025-12-06* I’m already loving this so much. The bug is that it won’t record or send a text for a pep talk, but when it works, it’s pretty mind blowing to me. Comforting in a time of need. I’d love to be able to set reminders for it to play the same pep talk on repeat if set, as someone with adhd, a pep talk repeating every so many minutes would be a nice feature 😅 thank you for this app! **Developer response:** Hi NallieSmsh, Thank you for the kind words, and your request to be able to schedule pep talks to play has been noted! Keep crushing it🔥 ### 5/5 — Super Helpful *2025-11-27, version 2.1.2.5* Great motivational app ### 5/5 — Personalized and persistent *2025-11-15, version 2.1.0* Love how this platform dials it in. Tough love and encouragement to grow, to be intentional and to have language to share with others is a gift. ### 5/5 — Hits every mark!! *2025-11-11, version 2.0.9.9* This app just works, the UI is great and not overdone. I’m a former TedX speaker and I can say this app is super motivating! Nothing beats customization and that’s what this is. I feel like it’s MY app. Totally the app for me. Subscribed for the year! ### 5/5 — This is amazing!! *2025-10-25, version 2.0.9.5* I’ve tried a lot of motivational apps but this is the best one I’ve used. Not to mention it’s so personalized. ### 5/5 — Cool Concept! *2025-10-21, version 2.0.9.3* Love the concept of this and also the interface! Definitely an interesting experience & would recommend! ### 5/5 — Saved my life *2025-10-20, version 2.0.9.3* Muy bueno ### 5/5 — Great for anything you worry about *2025-10-13, version 2.0.9* I retired after 35 years and look back on my career with a lot of pride, but now have some uphill challenges that I didn’t expect. Dialed gives me the simple clarity to get through them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
