### 3/5 — Need more free things

*2026-09-01, version 6.51.0*

It has help me a lot but that fact the only about 10 things are free !!! And you think I’m going to spend 30.00$!!!!

### 3/5 — Plz

*2026-09-01, version 6.51.0*

and there's just to many things that I need a subscription for and it's so annoying its like the whole app I can't even get Afframations for my depression last time I had this app it had more free stuff then now please update ur app and fix this -Moon Walker not larper.

### 4/5 — Good app, wish there was better personalization

*2026-09-01, version 6.51.0*

Overall positive experience with the app, but I do wish there was a dislike button or maybe a way to personalize the content more. For instance, even though I haven’t liked any affirmations that have to do with my body and it’s not marked as one of my content preferences, I still get a lot of affirmations regarding my body. Just not an issue for me personally.

### 2/5 — Love it… but

*2026-08-29, version 6.51.0*

Taken two subscriptions off me and no contact of how to refund one. So not happy

I selected Christianity, but get very little that refers to this

### 5/5 — I love this app!

### 5/5 — Escape grown gaming

Like it communion of the lord

### 5/5 — Uplifting

*2026-08-25, version 6.50.0*

I love the app! I’ve had it for 4 years now.  I look forward to opening it every day to see my affirmations. It lifts me up every time. I couldn’t do without it.

### 5/5 — Love how the app makes me feel!

*2026-08-25, version 6.50.0*

I bought the paid version. Totally worth it. I read the affirmations most days with the widget.

### 5/5 — beautiful affirmations

*2026-08-24, version 6.50.0*

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-08-24, version 6.50.0*

This app is helpful on so many levels. It has helped and guided me through tough times and good times. Grateful for these constant positive reminders.

### 5/5 — Soli 🪩

*2026-08-24, version 6.50.0*

To whoever created this, you are the best person in the history , idk how but this app notifications comes when I need the most , the thing that I love it the most that I can also have an sweet notification in my own religion which make it even more special to my heart, including this I can also write which type of advice that I need them and they makes them at the best way ever , thank you,Really thank you 🥹

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-08-24, version 6.50.0*

This is such a great app. The affirmations are so cute and the customisation options are really good too. You can add widgets and stuff on your home/lock screen. You can also customise it for free without premium that is a premium but unlike most apps you can still use the app without purchasing premium and the premium is very cheap. I 100% recommend this app It’s very simple and doesn’t have a bunch of overcomplicated feature features but yet it is such an amazing app.

### 5/5 — Thankful I have this

*2026-08-24, version 6.50.0*

So I started with a free trail and was expecting to cancel it honestly. Well, I forgot to cancel and accidentally signed up for a year. Honestly, I did not think it would do much but after a couple weeks of constantly seeing encouraging and motivating quotes, I think it’s subconsciously helping me. I notice sometimes I get the perfect quotes at the right time. Sometimes I look at my phone just to see what it says to help motivate me to be a better person, help me have a better day, or tell me exactly what I need to hear in that moment. It’s helped me a lot and I’m glad I forgot to cancel. You definitely need more time than the free trial. I recommend this app completely. This app is slowing changing my life for the better ❤️

### 1/5 — Not worth it and no refund available

*2026-08-31, version 6.51.0*

Tried for the free trial and didn’t like it. Went to cancel and it auto renewed for a full year without the ability to refund and was denied by apple for unknown reasons.

### 1/5 — Yes I Love A Faith

*2026-08-30, version 6.51.0*

Yes God Is Real

### 1/5 — Cool but…

*2026-08-30, version 6.51.0*

Way tooo much money!! Or I would get it.

### 1/5 — Continuing Dysfunctional Home Screen Widgets ☹️☹️

*2026-08-28, version 6.51.0*

Every update seems to knock out/throw off some feature within the app… AND the home-screen widgets continue to be DYSFUNCTIONAL ‼️‼️

I like the concept that “I AM” is trying to deliver and if it could just sort out the fundamental basics (instead of focusing on  expansion of plastic AI wallpaper/themes) and filter out the passive-aggressive “affirmations”from the genuine helpful ones, this then would be worth 5*.  
However in its current state, it is NOT fully executed with its offerings, delivered in a somewhat clunky, awkward manner, unlike “Mantra” with a slick, seamless UI focusing on quality and execution in a fully functional form throughout the ENTIRE app.

I will be sending screenshots/screen-recordings to “I AM” (via the email I received from them) of the continuing dysfunctional features.  I also read past reviews (from before they became a paid app ) and it seems widgets have been quite a big issue  previously which seems like it has NEVER really been addressed from the get-go.

I initially downloaded “I Am” and “Mantra” simultaneously (approx early July 26) for comparison intending to delete one of them.  However I’ve enjoyed having the two with their very slight different offerings.   In the meantime I’m now looking for a potential replacement for “I Am” unless all issues are resolved and the app and REMAINS consistently fully-functional.
At this point I am still  CONTINUOUSLY enjoying “Mantra” trouble-shooting free.  I would strongly “suggest” that “I Am” (and anyone else for that matter) have a “look” at “Mantra” in its fully functional form where the results EASILY speaks for itself.

Thank you for reading.

### 1/5 — Affirmations Stopped

*2026-08-26, version 6.50.0*

I haven’t received affirmations on my device for weeks. I tried what was suggested on the “FAQ” site but still nothing. Why am I paying for an app that’s not working?

### 1/5 — 3 dias grátis q cobram

*2026-08-24*

Usei os três dias grátis, me inscrevendo no dia 18/08 e não gostei, então cancelei a assinatura no dia 21/08 e me cobraram 229,90. Mesmo tendo cancelado me cobraram!

**Developer response:** Lamentamos muito ouvir que você está tendo problemas com sua assinatura. Os cancelamentos são processados pela App Store da Apple, mas se enviar um email para hello@monkeytaps.app, podemos compartilhar os passos necessários para solicitar um reembolso. Obrigado!

### 1/5 — “Free trial” does not exist

*2026-08-23, version 6.50.0*

I downloaded the app to my iPhone on August 18, 2026, to try it out as the app said there was a three day free trial period and, if I did not opt to continue, after three days, it would automatically be cancelled. My Apple account was charged $59.99 on August 20, unbeknownst to me. On August 21 I cancelled the app because it was more annoying than useful (way too many pop ups and not relevant to me and the settings I chose) only to discover I was stuck with it for a year as I’d already paid through Apple! I tried requesting a refund through Apple online and it is not listed as one eligible for a refund!

### 1/5 — WTH???

*2026-08-22, version 6.50.0*

I received a daily affirmation two days ago and it was not positive. It was almost a suicidal message and it’s disgusting and you need to fix this.

### 1/5 — Premium

*2026-08-21, version 6.49.0*

I was charged for a premium membership and I never signed up for a free trial never mind a membership. There is no option to contact support to have this fixed and the bank will not dispute the 64$ charge.

### 1/5 — Misleading, Fraud, Scam

*2026-08-20, version 6.49.0*

8/20 Update: still no helpful response or solution offered. This is the worst company and app I’ve ever dealt with and I have a Duolingo. I find it an app built to for self improvement lacks integrity. 



I signed up for the 3 day free trial. Made sure to select the option to be reminded when the free trial ends. Good thing I set a reminder in my calendar. I signed up on July 15th. Cancelled the subscription July 18th. Why am I being charged for the yearly membership? I don’t want to pay for it obviously. I shouldn’t have to. It’s ironic how this app is supposed to help your mindset and now my stress has increased. I am so frustrated with these scamming apps.

### 5/5 — Healing

*2026-08-31, version 6.51.0*

I love this app

### 5/5 — Well done!  I love this app!

*2026-08-31, version 6.51.0*

I’ve been using this app for over 2 years - I would love an option to use Australian-English spelling (we love our U - like in favourite, favour, colour, harbour, flavour, etc.)  - Thank you so much Developers, hugs from Australia 🙂💕

Also, I just thought I’d let you know that for some reason it keeps coming up with finding a new partner (I already have loved my husband since we were both 17 years old, and we’re both 40 years old now).  Also, I can’t see the moving fireplace in the background with moving candles (it’s zoomed in).  I hope you can fix this, as I pay lots of money for this app.
