## What is Listen Up!!?

When was the last time you experienced the luxury of really being listened to? No interruptions, no un-asked for advice?

I will listen attentively to all your dilemmas to allow you time to think things through and to find the answers you need, all by yourself.

I believe you know already what to do, let me just give you that space to think.


HOW TO USE LISTEN UP:

STEP 1: Create a 'Thinking Ambience' to support your thinking.

STEP 2: Find a quiet space and tell me your dilemma - listening is what I do best.

STEP 3: When you’re ready to be prompted, just tap my ear. Initially I will offer three standard prompts to get you underway. Further taps will offer random prompts to really deepen your thinking. Talk as long as you like before tapping. And tap as many times as you need to.

STEP 4: When you feel you’ve finished your thinking, just tap 'Finished for now' and I’ll look forward to being your listening partner again very soon.

TIP: Silence is always an invitation to continue thinking. Delay your tap for a few seconds and see where your mind continues in that silence.

(By the way, I’m happy to read the questions out to you too! Just make sure your device isn’t on silent mode).

iPhone4 ios 7.1.2
Thank you.

### 3/5 — Not Bad, But The Voice... 😔

*2015-07-23*

I loved the voice before this new update. Because the male with the British voice actually made me understand about my thinking better. Because it doesn't sound like Siri at all. And I loved that. When the update came up, I was very excited for what it will bring towards Listen Up. But when it was done updating, and checked it out, it sounds soo much like Siri. And i'm kinda tired of Siri's voice. It's very old. Because Siri's voice is on iPhones, iPads, other phones (depends), GPS (people don't use it anymore these days, though.), and many more. And when I found this app, I loved that it had a different voice than Siri's. But, now, since this is updated, the voice sounds soo much like Siri. And I don't wanna have Siri (nor her voice) to help my probs and thinking what to do. So, why did u changed the app's voice? And to all readers whom are reading this, this app is very cool. But this have the same voice as Siri. 😥 nevertheless, this app is still very helpful. 😉
