That said, the app had a beautiful and intuitive design, I love how they made it so you can freely swipe along the affirmations, and I love the background. I see a lot of potential with this app, but as it stands, it’s not very good. ### 2/5 — I really wanted this app… *2024-11-09, version 1.0.3* Life has been rough recently and I was really thinking this app would help. Problem is, the very first thing that happens when you open the app is that it requires you to pay. I can’t financially do that. I’m sure it’s a great app but I wouldn’t know since I can’t afford to use it. Wish there was a free option. ### 5/5 — This app is incredibly simple and reasonably priced *2024-04-24, version 1.0.3* The app just gives you consistent updates of affirmations that are truly helpful and feel meaningfully good. This is a really clear cut app, with some eye pleasing graphics and placement. ### 5/5 — great app *2024-04-23, version 1.0.3* i love this app, somehow it always knows when to send the messages i need to me ### 5/5 — Great way to infuse positive thinking *2024-03-02, version 1.0.3* There’s no such thing as a coincidence O O ### 5/5 — yuh *2024-02-14, version 1.0.3* There is no such thing as a coincidence, the fact that you are seeing this video means that you are energetically aligned with me and this message. ### 5/5 — 🎩 *2023-11-16, version 1.0.3* 👁👁 ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2023-11-11, version 1.0.3* I have a hard time wording things properly and this helps so so much!!!! 🌻 ### 5/5 — Greatness 👑 *2023-10-03, version 1.0.3* The energy from this platform is needed. And highly appreciated 👉🏽⭐️ ### 4/5 — 5 star except recent issues *2023-08-19* I would give this app 5 stars but I recently ran into an issue where I could not un-favorite any affirmations and could not move any new affirmations into my favorites. I first contacted the developer, then uninstalled and reinstalled the app. After reinstallation, I attempted to login and received an error message, although it was the correct login information. I then attempted to reset my password and received the same login information. I have been a paid subscriber since December 2021 and am paid through December 2023. I use this app daily and it has helped me tremendously. I trust the issue will be fixed quickly. Please prove me right. ### 2/5 — Initially the app was good until it stopped working altogether *2023-03-30, version 1.0.3* I paid for the subscription. The app was fine, nice even although it always send me notifications at 11pm and there was no way to change the timing for those notifications. But it became hard to add new affirmations until that function stopped completely. I deleted the app and re-downloaded it and now it neither will let me log in nor use forgot password AND I am unable to register a new account. This app needs hella fixing because when it was running, it was good! ### 5/5 — Best affirmations tool. *2023-01-31, version 1.0.3* I’m not really into the habit of doing affirmations but this app really makes it simple and i believe it can be very effective as a supportive tool. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Malfunctioning app *2026-02-16, version 1.0.3* This app is useful, but does not function properly. No notifications, does not allow you to create affirmations ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-03-01, version 1.0.3* No seven day trail, just charged me 30$ to send me affirmations smh what a scam, that’s why I wanted to try the trial, it shoes am error like it didn’t go through, then they charge you 30$ it’s a scam, don’t waste your money, there is nothing on the app ### 1/5 — Premium is mandatory *2023-10-31, version 1.0.3* Won’t let me use the app unless I pay for Premium and the free trial period is only 3 days, complete rubbish ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-09-26, version 1.0.3* This app might be really great and some of the fake 5* reviews might actually be real, I’ll never know though because it literally won’t let me create an account, see any content or in any way engage with the app DONT DOWNLOAD, not worth the aggravation, I deleted ### 1/5 — I’m not able to even sign in due to an error message *2023-09-12, version 1.0.3* Man I wish I could get past the sign up screen because i’ve heard great things about this app and really wanted to use it, but it keeps telling me to check my input data and try again. I’m not sure what’s wrong, i’ve tried exiting and refreshing the app and also deleting and reinstalling it and no luck. Devs please fix this! ### 1/5 — 5 star until recently. *2023-09-09, version 1.0.3* I would give this app 5 stars but I recently ran into an issue where I could not un-favorite any affirmations and could not move any new affirmations into my favorites. I first contacted the developer, then uninstalled and reinstalled the app. After reinstallation, I attempted to login and received an error message, although it was the correct login information. I then attempted to reset my password and received the same error message. I have been a paid subscriber since December 2021 and am paid through December 2023. I use this app daily and it has helped me tremendously. I trust the issue will be fixed quickly. Please prove me right. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I emailed grand rising app the morning of 8/19/23 and have not yet heard anything back. I’m disappointed but trust that they will get back to me and fix this issue soon. I also have been continuing daily to login, as well as create a new account, and each time I receive the same error message. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Update 9/9/23 I tried messaging William Knight on Instagram (as well as emailing the developers more than once) and have received no replies. It’s unfortunate this app is now useless to me as it won’t let me log in or create a new account. When I was logged in, it was very helpful. I’ll be trying to get a partial refund since I’m paid til December and I haven’t been able to use it since August. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2023-04-07, version 1.0.3* Unfortunately, since I cannot create an account I cannot review this application. I am placing 1 star as a placeholder. ### 1/5 — Keeps glitching *2023-03-21, version 1.0.3* Had to cancel my subscription because every time I try to login it says “we weren’t able to complete your request. Please check your input data and try again.” I PAID FOR A WHOLE YEAR and only used it for a few months. Tried changing my email. I also tried resetting my password. Nothing works. 😑 ### 1/5 — Signed up for a 3 day trial but instead got instantly charged for a year. *2022-11-30, version 1.0.3* No way to contact the developer. Not a good start and taints my experience with this app. I would like an immediate refund. ### 1/5 — Charged before my 3 day trial was over *2022-06-30, version 1.0.3* I wanted to try so I signed up for a 3 day free trial but y’all charged my account 27.99 the day after I signed up. I didn’t even get to decide if I liked the app 👎👎👎👎 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Do it for you *2026-06-17, version 1.0.3* A great way to give yourself a boost of self and making that self more conscientious and joyful. ### 5/5 — Absolute love *2026-04-08, version 1.0.3* I am grateful for the presence of Mr. Knight and his intentions to help people rise n shine:) His guided meditations on FB are awesome.. my favorite face to see pop up there~ And ALWAYS beneficial💗🪽 ### 5/5 — This app is amazing *2026-02-20, version 1.0.3* So is he and everything which he posts on social media platforms 🧡 ### 5/5 — Vibrate higher *2026-01-25, version 1.0.3* Very powerful High vibrational energy and tools I’m in love with this whole entire app what an honor to be apart of a loving community of spiritual entities ### 5/5 — I am sure I will make it happen *2025-10-04, version 1.0.3* This app transformed me into a better version of myself ### 5/5 — Daily pick me up! *2025-05-25, version 1.0.3* I have been a subscriber for over a year and the daily reminders, questions and motivations have been very effective.
