### 3/5 — Use

*2026-07-16, version 1.3.1*

I want to use this app so bad but I really wish there was a way to just connect my account so that they could analyze the conversations. The screen recording is super limited and up to 20 screenshots just is a pain in the butt. It would make a lot more sense if they just integrated the apps in there so I could actually use it.

### 1/5 — Payment

*2026-05-19, version 1.2.9*

Good luck with cancelling the subscription if you no longer need. Might as well block it fromYour card because they make it impossible to delete, and support is no help.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful App

*2026-04-13*

Lucen has been a great tool for me. It helps me understand the 'meaning behind the messages' just as it promises. 5 stars for a smooth experience and great concept!"

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2026-04-09*

Lucen helped analyze the messages with my wife and found some insights that made me realize we love each other ❤️

### 5/5 — Saved my marriage

*2026-04-09*

My husband is a man of few words. I was beginning to think he was not interested in me but lucen has flagged that he is thinking of me even if he's a bit detached emotionally.

Thanks to lucen I realized I'm not always the best at reading between the lines especially when there's lack there of.

The analysis was spot on and now when I'm feeling like forgotten goods I upload our convos and am reminded that my husband does love me.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-04-03, version 1.2.2*

One more avenue to analyze NY men outside of asking all my friends

### 5/5 — So far loving it.

*2026-04-01*

Gives accurate detailed analyses rather than being overly negative like Tolan.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work it’s malfunctioning

*2026-03-25, version 1.2.2*

Doesn’t work, malfunctioning

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2026-03-12, version 1.2.1*

Absolutely NOT worth $10 a week.

### 1/5 — Great idea terrible execution

*2026-02-18*

Can only upload screenshots in small chunks. No way to enter larger meta data about the situation you may be in beyond text messages. The app crashes constantly. The subscription for phone app versus online is also separate, as is the content between each platform. Support is non-responsive.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback — and sorry you ran into this.

Uploads: Lucen supports uploading up to 20 screenshots per upload, and you can also use voice input to add context about your situation beyond just text messages. If there's a different mode of input you'd like for us to support, please let us know and we'll prioritize adding that. 

Crashes: We did have a spike in traffic right after Valentine’s Day, which caused some temporary stability issues. We’ve been rolling out fixes and monitoring closely.

Subscription + content: The subscription is the same across mobile and web, and your account/content should be accessible on both when you’re signed into the same login. 

Support: Totally fair callout. We’ve been behind on replies during the surge, but we’re catching up and improving response time.

If you’re open to it, please reach out again via in-app support (or the contact link in Settings) with the email you used to sign in, and we’ll help get everything working smoothly.

We’d really appreciate it if you gave Lucen another chance.

### 1/5 — Fraudulent

*2026-07-28*

They say they’ll give you a free trial but neglect to tell you that it’s only for one day. Then when you try to cancel within the trial period they don’t respond to your emails and still charge you for the full year’s worth of subscription. Now I was fine with that up until I just tried to use my subscription and now it says I need to resubscribe when I should be good until next May. Don’t download this app. It’s truly not worth your time or aggravation. I will be submitting a chargeback with my financial institution.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the frustration this caused. Please contact us at support@lucen.app with the email associated with your purchase, and we’ll help locate your subscription and issue a refund. We’d also like to investigate why your active subscription is not being recognized.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-23, version 1.3.1*

Doesn’t give logical scores, gets confused over which person sent which text, reads the texts out of order so gives nonsensical response. Overall a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription

*2026-07-10, version 1.3.1*

It’s impossible to cancel the subscription, I feel like I’m being robbed

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-07-05, version 1.3.0*

The chat window gets covered up by the keypad. I get prompted to review every time I ask the app a question. EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY SENT A REVIEW……

### 1/5 — Chat gpt gives the same advice

*2026-06-21, version 1.2.9*

It’s not any better than chat gpt or Claude, and it’s a pain to cancel. Plus it’s more than both, and the other two can do waaay more

### 1/5 — This app is a Scam

*2026-06-19, version 1.2.9*

They take your money and won’t let you cancel your subscription

### 1/5 — Good luck cancelling

*2026-06-16, version 1.2.9*

Tried the free trial. Signed up in the app. Tried to cancel but it requires a stripe login. 

When I did the signup I used the option for Apple to hide your email address. 

I gave the stripe link that email as well as my actual email and neither allows me the ability to login to cancel. Of course the free trial is for one day so by the time someone gets around to helping me I will already be charged. 

I have done a ton of free trials of apps in the past and this one is absolutely the worst to try and cancel. I would avoid.

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS

*2026-06-12, version 1.2.9*

It will make you pay for the subscription and you won’t be allowed to cancel it. You will have to pay for the next month subscription even if you can’t afford to

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2026-05-27, version 1.2.9*

It has charged me 50 dollars and I don’t even have the app and it will not let me cancel after trying multiple times

### 1/5 — Canceling is tricky

*2026-05-22, version 1.2.9*

I tried this app- it’s not that smart to begin with- not great advice- to be expected. On top of it- the “cancel subscription” button on the app doesn’t actually cancel it… soo… feels like a scam.

Was surprisingly accurate

### 5/5 — Lucen report doesn’t lie

*2026-04-14*

Everything’s Lucen has analyzed for me has been so spot on it’s scary.   Scary good!  If you are looking for insights into your relationships that are accurate, relevant and meaningful.  Don’t wait, get this app today.  Stop waiting time and start building.  You have nothing to loose but dead weight and everything to gain.
