### 5/5 — Happyhints

*2013-01-01, version 1.2*

Every day I have something inspirational to guide me...every message has such deep meaning in a succinct way...and in a spare moment in a busy day I can feel calm...

### 5/5 — Life Enhancing

*2012-12-29, version 1.2*

An life enhancing app filled with a wonderful and beautiful array of information and thought provoking messages.  There is so much to choose from over and above the meaningful daily message that, depending on how I feel, I just click and watch, click and listen, click and read and feel inspired!

### 5/5 — Happy Happy Happy.

*2012-12-12, version 1.2*

The happy hints app has become my faithful companion, it's an instant pick me up whenever it's needed day or night.  The pictures lift my spirits that's even before reading the awe inspiring words of wisdom, which are a fervent reminder of how to tap into our wellspring of happiness.   I like to play a game by scrolling back at speed and where ever I land is what I needed to remember in that moment.   This alone is more than my money's worth less that 1p a day.   As for the 'listening In' section I always start my day with 'Thank You for the gift of', 'Dearest Body' & 'The Power of Choice. I rotate the rest and They always help me to focus and invigorate me.   All this and more with the numerous resources which give further depth and insight, not to mention the videos and mind maps.  My use of This life changing app continues to bear countless fruits of joy in my life.  I have never come across anything like it. Everyone should get this app the world would be a much happier place.   I look forward each day in anticipation of my notification to find out what new insights await. Thank You. Thank you. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Worth every penny!

*2012-12-04, version 1.2*

Love it, love it, love it!  Simple, colourful and thought provoking.  Also very easy to use.  Each daily hint is fabulous and inspirational. I also love all the additional information and resources.  This app has already become something I can't leave home without!  Can't recommend it highly enough.

### 5/5 — Ms

*2012-12-04, version 1.2*

I have never reviewed anything before but I felt compelled to do so now. This app is simply wonderful. I actually feel excited when my reminder goes off and I actually make time to read the Happy Hint in its entirety each time. Such a simple yet profound concept obviously created by someone with an amazing and generous intellect. You get so much, it just goes on and on. In the middle of madness my Happy Hint comes to help me put it into perspective. Thank you to the creator, you have no idea what a difference this is making to me and my life.

### 5/5 — Happy hints

*2012-11-07, version 1.2*

Out all the apps I have this happy hints far surpasses them all, there are so many helpful resources to get through life's self imposed obstacles especially the listen in feature.
I would advise all apple users to to install this app because sure it will be very beneficial to all.

### 5/5 — A heartfelt App

*2012-07-04, version 1.1*

This App captures the essence of The Reach Approach - a heartfelt, generous, and comprehensive approach to self-help and personal development.

The title 'Happy Hints' only touches on what is actually a generous supply of self-development content.  The App also includes a wide selection of video and audio presentations, accompanied by a wonderful selection of music.

Highly professional, slick, and very attractive App overall!

### 5/5 — mrs

*2012-07-01, version 1.1*

This is the best £2.99 you could ever spend in your life! The wealth of knowledge is priceless. There isn't no better investment than in yourself so in less fortunate times and the challenges of day to day life, this is something you can afford to buy everyone deserves to be happy! All the resources are free you find something new all the time, there's enough here to take something new with you everyday! More than just a hint, helps to show you how!

### 5/5 — It's simply the best..........

*2012-06-18, version 1.1*

.....App I have on my phone.  You don't need to be a disciple of the Reach Approach to derive immense benefit and joy from this App.  It prompts you daily to take a few minutes out to reflect and you can leave it at that or use it more deeply as part of a self development journey, including an easy to use "doorway" to a wealth of resources at no extra charge.  Even though I am already blessed to work with Reach, Happy Hints has helped me to step up another gear and it's always a sweet sound to hear my phone prompt me that a new Happy Hint is waiting for me!

### 5/5 — You must try this!

*2012-05-27, version 1.0.2*

I simply love this app and it's creators! What an inspiring body of work that's offered to us at such great value. I have other 'self help' apps but they require you to click on to them and I haven't always felt like reaching for the good stuff. Happy Hints messages you three times a day so you're never far away from an empowering thought. I have been gifting this to my friends and loved ones and imagine you'll do the same once you've experienced the loving kindness which Happy Hints brings to your day. There's so much more to the app too like the audio recordings, videos and documents section too. Buy this you won't regret it.   Love it Love it Love it!

### 5/5 — Amazing resource for a beautiful mind!

*2012-05-14, version 1.0.1*

This app has everything one could possibly need to nurture the mind whilst on the move. I travel quite a lot and so i'm enjoying filling my mind with beautiful empowering thoughts whilst on the train or sitting at the airport. It occurred to be recently that I can choose the atmosphere I create in my head.......and this is the perfect resource to keep me occupied in the right way! LOVE IT!

### 5/5 — Life changing

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-10-14, version 2.1*

Unfortunately, the app has suddenly stopped working for me. I contacted the email address to report the problem a few weeks ago, but still haven’t had a reply. It’s a shame because it’s a fantastic resource which I had been using daily, but it just won’t work anymore.

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2024-09-19, version 2.1*

I am unable to access any of the features of the app, waste of money. Not happy at all.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2013-09-02, version 1.2*

I bought this to have access to the meditations (which are very good) without the Internet.  The meditations are just links, no different than using the website or you tube.  This is a 99 cent app at best.

### 1/5 — Over priced

*2012-12-03, version 1.2*

Nice idea but far too overpriced for what it is; there are better ones out there for free. Also the happy hint of the day does not show in the lock screen and it's not user friendly to identify even after clicking on the app. The actual hints themselves are not that inspiring compared to other free apps out there and border on annoying. It means well and might have scored 2 to 3 stars if it were free.

### 3/5 — Happy Hints

*2015-06-05, version 1.2*

Don’t think it’s worth the $4.99. So it’s just O.K.

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2012-09-04, version 1.1*

Only thing that doesn't work for me is the video link. Otherwise,  "Bravo and thank you!!"

### 5/5 — My favourite app

*2019-03-24, version 2.0*

I found this app when I was bed ridden for 4 months, and literally it helped me to get out of my own head and help to heal myself and become more of the person I wanted to be. When life gets over whelming and you feel beyond stressed take a moment and read the card of the day. It makes you put life in perspective and understand why some things happen. I found the app in January of 2014- I still make it a habit to read my daily card today, now better way to start the day. Thank you to whom ever the creators are I am indebted to you. My your app reach al those who need it. Many blessings. Jenn

### 5/5 — Don't want to lose this app please update :-)

*2017-05-09, version 1.2*

I've had this app since it's inception and love it. I agree with other reviewers about it being a gentle reminder/pick me up/timeout from life which just reminds me about the bigger picture of life!

Easton; please, please update the app as I keep getting a message that it needs this in order to keep working.

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Super but needs tweaking

*2017-02-14, version 1.2*

Wonderful app giving me help comfort and inspiration but now I'm getting messages it may slow down my phone or iPad and that developer needs to look at it's compatibility.
I hope the developers will because I will miss the daily wisdom.

### 5/5 — Happy hints

*2014-02-18, version 1.2*

### 5/5 — Seek and you will find

*2013-10-04, version 1.2*

Here is a beautiful presentation of truths to feed your mind, soul and body. More than a balm for an aching humanity.  I am thankful "dear old friend" that you visited once again.

### 5/5 — Reach Approach

*2013-07-25, version 1.2*

Wonderful app. Reach is a full Spiritual Psychology program--classy and common sense without silliness and preaching. Gorgeous music, narration and graphics.  Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2013-01-31, version 1.2*

It wouldn't open. Originally, I thought his app was a dud! I contacted them with an email and they responded immediately. They were kind with their words, willing to refund the money for the app, and gave me tips on how to make it work. I found out the problem was on my end of the phone. Make sure you have updated your iPhone if the app isn't working. That fixed the problem for me. 
I love this app! It's awesome.
