User reviews

Cool concept, big issues

While this app is definitely a neat idea (approaching the enneagram from a writer’s perspective), it needs fine-tuning. In terms of content, for a paid app it’s pretty bare-bones. However, the major issue is with the app itself; there are obstacles to just using it that make me almost regret getting it.

The most egregious example of a UI failure is the pages that describe each type as a hero and as a villain. Some pages have paragraphs that continue down the page, but you can’t scroll. This cuts off only about a sentence or two on the worse pages, but considering this was a paid app, I expect a basic function like that would be in working order.

More of a nitpick, but the app also doesn’t properly support dark mode on phone, so while the list of key traits have a dark background, the words are unreadable because the text stays the same color. It’s readable once you click into the page, but again, paid app.
