## What is innerFriend?

"People often say, 'I have a friend...' but the truth is, the best friend is the one who truly knows you. Take a journey of self-discovery and explore various roles and emotions as you engage in meaningful conversations with yourself.

With iFriend, you can initiate conversations on any topic, whether it's seeking advice on a decision or contemplating career choices. Immerse yourself in different emotions or roles; for instance, the perspective of a 'mature and stable senior' may advocate for prioritizing work stability, while embracing 'enthusiasm' can empower you to tackle challenges head-on.

iFriend isn't just a companion—it's a reflection of yourself. Our mission is to encourage everyone to embrace their true selves and confront every emotion, positive or negative, as an integral part of their identity. Through genuine dialogue, discover your inner wisdom, explore your true thoughts, and enrich your life with meaningful insights, fostering deeper connections with others along the way.

### 5/5 — 发出的消息能不能进行修改啊求求了

*2026-07-09*

尊的很需要！

### 4/5 — ^_^

*2026-01-04*

挺好的。希望能够出调整字体大小的功能，使用起来很好上手数据统计的也不错。加油

### 5/5 — 一些建议

*2025-12-29*

喜欢，好用，支持！希望之后可以发语音！还有背景壁纸希望也可以更换！另外，虽然可以删除消息但没办法更改已发出的消息，有时候想改一些过去的错字没法改诶，希望作者能看看建议！

### 1/5 — Fake App

*2025-12-06*

It literally allows you to send text messages to some unknown number and thats it.  No responses, nothing.

Like, literally, I can’t find a single redeeming quality for this app and I can usually find one…. Maybe their ad is 100% grammatically correct?  I am stretching hard here….

### 4/5 — 很好，但有很大进步空间

*2025-10-26*

真的是很良心的应用了只要八块钱，但是想提一点建议：
第一，me的头像没法修改，名字也没法修改。希望能增添修改自己名字和头像的功能。
第二，好像删除不了成员（？）反正我长按了好久都没能删除。

### 4/5 — 支持创作者！

*2025-06-24*

刚下载第一次，想也没想直接买断，想给创造者提个小小的建议，就是我在聊天框的时候，我更希望能看到我写的话的时间，我不想一直摁着去看这个时间，还有一个就是我希望背景可以整个自定义背景图，然后还有一个缺点，就是我发这个对话框的时候点空白处，我的键盘是下不来的，我一定要去退出这个聊天框才能看见完整的对话，就觉得有点麻烦，希望作者做越做好！你的努力大家早晚都会看到的，看到你写的新手教程有说你因为你的App曝光率比较小，你会感到不开心，希望你能做出更好的作品，也希望这个App会让大家都发现！

### 5/5 — 简洁党最爱！

*2025-03-15*

自我使用感很好，如果有些功能可以更完善就好了，比如聊天框 自己 可以更换头像。

### 5/5 — 很有创意

*2025-02-05*

一直想找个这种类型的软件 🥹昨天下载后发现自定义角色这个功能很好玩 要是能更换壁纸就好了

### 5/5 — 特别喜欢的！

*2024-12-18*

非常有用，方便整理脑袋里乱乱的思绪，而且对我个人来说真的很需要像这样自我对话式的软件，对调节情绪很有帮助
希望之后能有修改文本的功能，有时候把想说的话话全发完才发现有要修改的地方，不知道怎么改😿
总之就是非常喜欢！

### 5/5 — 很好很好

*2024-12-12*

要是可以发语音消息就好了，真的希望出这个功能呀！因为打字比较麻烦，能发语音就轻松多了
