Reminders of hard days is HARD

I used to love and recommend this app to others but now it sends constant reminders to view clearly rough days… I’m not sure why it would do that to but I’m not a fan.

Disappointed

I’ve been a user since Jan 2025 and it’s just such a great app but now that it’s changed its name and updated the subscription now I’m about to lose all the progress I’ve made over the few months because im not able to download my videos. It’s a really great app overall but just so disappointed I won’t be able to look back on my old

Talkbook

I've been with this app since it was called talkbook. Since the new updates, I've come to hate it unfortunately because there is nothing I can do anymore. I can only talk for so many minutes (it's like 4 mins limited without the subscription) whereas before everything- I can talk as long as I want. I can't look back and watch MY OWN VIDEOS from a year ago without subscribing- which is sad because that's the whole point for me is to look back and see how far I've come.

9.99$ a month is a lot to be honest for what it gives you. I miss when I had the freedom to use the app without any of the restrictions. I legit have been through with it since 2025 and the amount of times this app has crashed or glitched, I always had faith because I truly loved the concept..
