User reviews

There is too much clutter and the app immediately pushes you into an expensive subscription.

This app started off fine. It does exactly what you expect, which is give you a series of conversation prompts. However, the second time I opened it, I couldn’t find anything useful. It gave me jillions of lists of questions that were too specialized and not what I wanted. Then it started to cut off the lists after ten questions. After that it wanted a subscription of $4 per month, which is ridiculous. I removed it from my phone immediately. It feels like the developers knew how to write a good app but then got too greedy. Don’t waste your time.

The App Isn't The Issue

I see a ton of comments mentioning how divisive this is. That the mentioning of race means perpetuating it. Unfortunately white people are simply too uncomfortable to even discuss the issue because it makes them feel some kinda way about the history of White dominated America. Taking on guilt no one asked them to take on. Many of the comments, coming from what I can only surely bet aro coming from white people, said talking about racism keeps it alive. Here's the thing. If not talking about racism actually worked. Don't you think the issue would have been fixed hundreds of years ago when my family were slaves banned from even thinking about equality? But banning it then didn't work and banning it now won't work. Either way this is a good idea.

Really?

I only downloaded this app so that I could write a review on this. I think it is sad that conversation has become a lost art and that there should even be a need for an app of this type; giving people scripts to use instead of these people having the listening ability and imagination to come up with their own thoughts and ideas. Have humans really devolved so far that they cannot relate to each other in a normal and respectful way? We have become so addicted to social media and our phones in general that we have lost the concept of actual human interaction and then wonder why we can no longer make lasting friendships or relationships. It is sad I tell you, and those of us who long for real intelligent conversations feel lost in time in this current reality. I will be deleting this app as I don’t need my phone telling what to say to another person.
