DOES NOT WORK 2/3/23
Purchased app, will not even open. Closes immediately.
Buggy
This app might have been great in the past but it crashes and is a fail in my book
What a Great Little App
Once you install this app and figure out your personality type there are limited additional features to explore.
But those tips per my type that arrive through my notifications are so perfect. It's amazing!
Just the right words at just the right time. It's as if the app is in my head. Which I guess it is. Lol.

Interesting
Good for newbies on Enneagram, excellent for those who already got exposed to the concept and is looking for a tool to help practice and develop their number type on daily basis.
Good ennea- app
I use enneagrams in my work daily, teaching people about how their unthinking patterns of behavior impact their lives. This is the best app I've seen towards that end.

Five Stars for version 1.0.7 Know Your Type - Enneagram Mapping System
As a teacher of the Enneagram, in Northern Ireland, I have found this APP an excellent resource. The APP is very user friendly and contains quality information about each of the Enneagram Types. I am recommending this APP to participants in my Enneagram Courses.

Top marks!
I've been trained to apply the Enneagram and use it with senior executives.
This is a very well thought through application with lots of practical information for Enneagram beginners and enthusiasts / experts alike.
The section 'Test your knowledge' gives great insights into each Enneagram type in ten real live scenarios such as "You have a time sensitive issue, which is the best delivery method for each type?" E.g. e-mail, call him / her, talk in person.
The session on 'Prevent Conflict' is worth the price of the app alone. It looks at each type suggesting what each type does when angry, their conflict triggers and how to prevent conflict with them.
It even goes into Wings, Arrows and Enneagram subtypes.
It has development tips and a great card sort to help identify types.
I would suggest that the iPhone was made for an Enneagram App like this.
Well done Ginger!

Super Dissapointed
There's no real 'test' or questionnaire. The app describes each type on a card and asks a vague question that is very circumstantial. Every card will apply to you and without a guided list of question you'll never find out your type. You can't seriously be expected to evaluate yourself this way because the way the mind works, this like the visible self, blind self, and the fact that people tend to evaluate their lives and standing in life differently than it really is.
A complete waste of $3. Like another reviewer, I've never actually felt like I needed a refund but this time I really do...

okay, not great, type tips are pretty bad
I'm pretty sure some of the absolutely glowing reviews for this app were written by the author's friends.
It's an okay app, but it's not great. There's a lot of information on there, and her enneagram quiz is fun. I like that you can test your knowledge of the different enneagram types as well.
Her video clips of the types are pretty bad, however. For example, in her video clip for type Four, the supposed exemplar admits to being prone to an "us versus them" attitude which, if you've read much on the enneagram, you know is almost verbatim how a number of other authors describe type Six! It seems that anyone claiming to have expertise on the enneagram ought not to have video clips as exemplars for one type saying things that are stereotypical of another type. Someone who wasn't very informed about the enneagram might easily mistype themselves based on this.
The other problem with her app is the type tips. The type tips are very hit or miss, and some weeks, they can be downright trite. It includes tips like "write down three things you like about yourself," "think of some positive things in your life" and "when you start to feel bad about yourself, stop...just STOP!" Also, she doesn't show an in-depth understanding of the fixations in her type-tips. The type Four ones, for example, are almost always geared towards depression and could be applicable to anyone of any type who was depressed. Her type Six tips have a similar problem with anxiety, in that it seems like the general advice therapists would give someone with GAD, rather than specific to type Six per se. I think if she could "get back to basics" and work the fixations of the types into her tips occasionally, they would improve immensely.

Really helps
For anyone who study the enneagram this app is very useful. The weekly tips help you to live it!
Not worth paying for
There was no test to help you navigate your type- you are given a bunch of cards and then asked if that's like you at all. No probing questions, just large swaths of text that could apply to you (and in some ways all of them kind of apply to everybody). This app should give you a more useful tool for discovering your type- very disappointed. I have never wanted a refund before for an app, but I want one for this.

Ok I expected more
Nice interface. Wasn't as informative as I would expected from a paid app.
Helping myself helps me to help others!
I absolutely LOVE this App! As an enneatype 1, having "self-awareness" tools that I can access easily with my finger tips from anywhere and at anytime has helped me work through unexpected obstacles and challenges positively (particularly with other personality types).
Not worth the money
This app does not take into account that more then one personality may describe you.
This is a great Enneagram app
A brilliant app which contains a wealth of information to discover your type, help with interactions with others, prevent conflict and hone your practical skills applying the ancient wisdom of the enneagram - and there's loads more.
If you are already familiar with the enneagram this will be very useful, if not it will surely tempt you to discover more about the wisdom and yourself (there's plenty of good introductory books around to get started).
Thanks Ginger!

Helpful
This app is helpful, informative and fun. And because I've been able to verify the author's credibility, trustworthy. The Weekly Tips are surprise reminders that actually help me appreciate my uniqueness. Kudos and appreciation to the creators. Recommended.
This app feels like an advertisement to me
The app is initially very pleasing visually. I was excited to try it out. I found the "type yourself" part of the app very superficial. I had hoped it would be a more objective way of determining my type rather than a subjective self-evaluation. I am not sure that people are well enough supported in the world to know themselves well at this deep level.
The rest of the app feels like an advertisement for the author more than an actual tool to assist with the exploration of your enneagram type. How were the enneagram types for the famous people determined? Are there other author's of enneagram books and works? Is there any discussion of the differences in their approaches? Which branch of the enneagram originators did the author's work stem from?
I know the author did a great deal of work to create this app, but this is information for the world, not a promotional tool for the author.

Oh wow
Revealing and so insightful best app IV seen for understanding self and others behaviors/ attitudes/motivations. Will help with the many personality types I come across in nursing career. Thank you
Quick and easy
I think this app is great for anybody that wants to understand themselves, others, and the mechanics of communication.
Very well laid out. Easy to find what you looking for. I have many of Ginger's books but never seem to have the time to go downstairs, find the book and look up what I'm looking for.
A great personal and business tool.

Marketing tool.
Purchased the app the day it became available. Found it appealing, informative, easy to use and understand, and timely. I allowed some time to pass so that my review would have user credibility. Recently, in one my classes, I witnessed actual and, most probably, the most typical use. I was teaching and a question was asked about a specific wing type. Each member of my classes has been provided with an abundance of materials from simple, explicit cards to books. All of a sudden, out pops out I phones and I see them punching their phones. In unison, they begin reading Gingers app about the questioned wing type. How exciting to see such spontaneity and flexibility when quickly needing information. I experienced the class teaching themselves. Many of their spouses now have the app on their phone as well. Yea Ginger! You may have just developed a great marketing tool.
