Rehearse the conversation before it counts. Hold the Floor lets you practice a job interview, a salary talk, a phone call or small talk out loud with an AI partner that waits while you think: no timer, no interruptions. The feedback is in words, quoting your own lines, never a grade. It is free to start: one rehearsal a week, Level 1 of the daily speaking path, and no account. A partner that waits for you: rehearse your own situation with an AI partner, clearly labeled as AI. No timer: your turn ends when you tap Done. The partner stays quiet while you speak, and captions show every line, both sides. Speak or type on any turn. A daily speaking path: about 10 minutes a day with five useful phrases, a short conversation with an AI partner, sounds to listen and say, and a review of your own lines. Six levels, from everyday starts to hard talks; your first answer suggests where to start, and you can change it. Interviews for your job: 147 jobs, from nurse to electrician, plus a path from the recruiter call to the salary talk. Your first weeks: the doctor, the landlord, the bank and small talk at work, with local voices for Australia, Canada, the UK and the US. Your first 90 days at work, study abroad, and working-holiday jobs and housing. Speaking-test practice: short questions, a two-minute talk and a discussion with a calm AI examiner. Practice only, with no score. Feedback in words, not grades: what went well, quoting your own words, and one thing to try next time. Keep your best lines on a big-type cue card. Clearer sounds: check two or three tricky sounds a day against US, UK or Australian English. It runs on your phone, and your voice never leaves it. Gentle scenes: about 100 scripted scenes that go the same way every time, including phone calls and machines. They work offline. The app in your language, with the practice in English. Plain about price and privacy: no account and no ad tracking. Hold the Floor is a practice tool. It is not therapy and not a person, and the AI can be wrong. Free: one rehearsal a week, today's 2 or 3 sounds every day, every Gentle scene and Level 1 of the speaking path. Pro: up to 12 rehearsals a week, every level of the speaking path, all 45 sounds against the accent you choose, and your full history. Yearly starts with a 7-day free trial; monthly starts today.

Rehearse real conversations out loud with a partner who waits until you're done. New in this version: a daily speaking path of about 10 minutes a day, interview rehearsals for 147 jobs, conversations for your first weeks abroad, Gentle scenes for an easier start, Clearer sounds to check your pronunciation, and help in your language whenever you need it. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-28 Poised 1.6 • See exactly what Pro adds: deep quoted debriefs, Tough mode, your exact conversation, and room for 40 AI replies a week. • The yearly free trial now shows what happens each day, and Poised can remind you two days before it renews. • Rehearsals now connect through Poised's own address, so the service can keep improving without an app update. • The permission screen explains in plain words what is shared and how to withdraw it. • Easier to read and tap: stronger contrast, larger tap targets, and text that wraps instead of cutting off at large sizes. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-10 Poised 1.5 makes the complete practice-to-Pro journey clearer and more reliable. • A simpler paywall explains each plan, renewal, cancellation, and Restore Purchases before payment. • Purchase and restore recovery now refresh Apple entitlement state before showing a paid user as Free. • Free practice now renews on an honest rolling seven-day allowance instead of becoming a permanent dead end. • Consent controls clearly name DeepSeek text processing and AWS generated-reply speech; withdrawing consent keeps native iOS speech available. • Faster, bounded voice readiness prevents an unavailable speech service from freezing the app. • Refined Practice, debrief, and progress screens make the next useful action easier to find. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-28 Steadier voice rehearsal • Recovers instead of stalling. If your audio route changes mid-sentence — like pulling your headphones out — Poised rebuilds the microphone connection and your take keeps going. If a phone call interrupts you, or on-device speech recognition itself drops out, Poised ends the take cleanly and keeps everything you had already said, ready to send. • Every ending is actionable. However a take ends — you stop it, you leave, something interrupts it — you always get either your words to edit or a clear way to try again. No more "Ready to send" with nothing on screen to send. • Honest when a take is cut short. If the last words were still being transcribed, Poised tells you the turn may be incomplete and asks you to check it, instead of grading a fragment as a finished answer. • Your typing is safe. Text you wrote yourself is never overwritten or lost when a voice take ends, and a fragment you deleted stays deleted. Easier to set up and to browse • Setting up a rehearsal now uses visual choices, so you can see what each mode and difficulty actually means before you start. • Practice and Prep are organised into browsable categories with counts, so the right scenario or field guide is a couple of taps away instead of one long scroll. • Search now spans both guides and scenarios, and points you to matches waiting in the other section. • Onboarding is shorter and gets you into your first conversation sooner. Also: accessibility and Dynamic Type fixes across onboarding, setup, Practice, Prep, and Progress at the largest text sizes. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-22 • New: a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan — try every Pro feature first. • New: share a win card after a great debrief (your score and coached line, never your words or audio). • New: a reminder card when your scheduled conversation is under 48 hours away. • Faster, more reliable coach replies during rehearsals. • Ending a rehearsal now always offers your debrief before you leave. • Fixes and polish throughout. ## More apps by Mitaanshu Agarwal - [Akros: Health & Lab Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/akros-health-and-lab-tracker/id6770206576) - [Sukta](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sukta/id6770299755) - [Joy by Morning](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/joy-by-morning/id6770300427) - [Falah: Salah Tracker & Adhan](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/falah-salah-tracker-and-adhan/id6770318208) - [Berean: Bible Study Sources](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/berean-bible-study-sources/id6770318820) - [MealLuma: AI Calorie Scanner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mealluma-ai-calorie-scanner/id6771332217) All apps by Mitaanshu Agarwal: https://appshunter.io/developer/1896724075 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
