### 1/5 — Everything behind a subscription

*2026-05-04, version 2.2.9*

Practically unusable.

### 1/5 — Still Not Usable

*2026-04-05*

Don’t download this app until they fix the glitch!  I downloaded the app because there was only one review saying it doesn’t fully fit on the screen.  Well make this two.  I can’t get past the first screen because it all cuts off the screen and I’m not seeing everything.  Completely useless app.  It is not increasing my joy like it claims it does!

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-02-05*

Used the app 1-2 times and really enjoyed it, but now I can’t open the app without it crashing and closing before I even get to read anything. Shame.

### 3/5 — AI?

*2026-01-31*

I so badly want an app like this, however I want it to be real news, not made up stories. And it is really hard to tell when there are no source links to learn more or verify the story.  In addition, one article was full of a whole paragraph of gobbledygook making me wonder if they were actually all just written with AI.

### 1/5 — Can't get past the initial screen

*2026-01-24, version 2.2.9*

Just downloaded and can't get past the screen saying Welcome to Goodable. Was excited but :(

### 2/5 — Can’t Use

*2026-01-01, version 2.2.3*

I want to like this app, but I will never know because for some reason it doesn’t fit on the screen of my iPhone. I just tried to get into again and I got stuck on the second screen and absolutely could not access the button on the bottom of the screen. I could barely see it, but couldn’t click it. I went over to apps and it had an update, so I updated it. Now I can’t get past the first screen. Ugh. For an app that’s supposed to make me happy, it’s doing the exact opposite.

### 4/5 — No content

*2025-12-05, version 2.0.1*

The app was working perfectly then I lost the ability to open them. I deleted and reloaded the app without success.

### 1/5 — Dead end

*2025-11-29, version 2.0.1*

New version asks you to choose topics but the “continue “ button is off my screen so I can’t. iPhone SE2.

### 1/5 — Prices are ridiculous

*2025-11-08, version 1.9.2*

Monetizing positivity as usual. Another garbage app trying to profit off of misery and despair.

### 1/5 — Want to try but can’t get signed up

*2025-08-28, version 1.9.0*

Wanted to try the app but can’t get past the sign up screen, I’d put in my email and the code never arrived (and yes I checked spam folders😊) , tried another email and same issue. 

Please look into this as I’d like to use the app and will revise the review if it updates and allows me to sign up.
