### 1/5 — There is too much clutter and the app immediately pushes you into an expensive subscription.

*2023-09-04*

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.

### 4/5 — The App Isn't The Issue

*2023-06-19*

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.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2023-05-08*

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.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns with us. We hear you and completely understand your perspective on the art of conversation and the importance of genuine human interaction. Our intention with the app is to provide a resource for those seeking conversation starters to initiate meaningful discussions. While our app provides prompts, it is ultimately up to individuals to engage in authentic exchanges and bring their own thoughts and ideas to the table. We understand and respect your decision to delete the app. Should you ever reconsider, we would be more than happy to welcome you back!

### 5/5 — Love

*2022-12-13, version 2.6.1*

Just needs more questions

### 4/5 — Nice and clean

*2022-10-28, version 2.6.0*

Really nice concept, would be even better with a dark mode!

### 2/5 — has amazing questions but its super buggy

*2022-09-14, version 2.5.0*

the questions are great and theres a lot of categories. I paid for the 1 month. The biggest issue is that it never saves my spot, repeats a ton of questions because it re-shuffles, and freezes often. I won't be renewing unless this gets fixed.

**Developer response:** Hello there! We've been working on your issue but would like more information. Would you mind sending us more information regarding the freezing instances you are referring to, as well as how the app isn't saving your spot? You can email us at support@longwalks.com if you like with more info!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2022-08-17, version 2.4.0*

My family and I are LOVING this app! We spent the $15 for the annual subscription and it’s been so worth it. My husband and I have dug deep into our relationship, and my daughters are LOVING the kid-friendly conversation starters! I can’t wait to see the seasonal conversations too!

**Developer response:** Woohoo! We're so happy to hear this :)

### 5/5 — amazing and empowering, a technical marvel

*2022-06-30, version 2.2.1*

I cannot find the words to properly express how much this app has done for me and others in my community.  I am a non-cisgender pansexual college lacrosse player.  It is often difficult for me and others like me to get anywhere past awkward small talk - Oh!  I forgot - I was an ENFP but over the years and wisdom accrued I have morphed into an INTJ.  Oh, and as far as being into guys I only like their tumescent members, not into body hair or athlete's foot... But this app has opened a whole new world for me and I'm excited for what the future holds. Just to stay safe and keep this swing of good fortune going I will be extending my personal recognition of Pride Month into the rest of calendar year 2022 as well as never ever throw away or give up any of my possessions.  All of this will stay with me and no one can touch it, lest the devil use this to exploit my character flaws to get me to smoke sherm again, like I promised my boo I wouldn't ever do again but life is so meh. Getting wet helps me find my steez and lets me give top to completion with no guilt or memory of what happened or who it was with.  10/10 love this empowering tool

**Developer response:** So glad you're enjoying the app!
