I don’t think what’s in this app is truly helpful for those working on themselves and seeking a resource that can easily remind them on their phones that what we experience is okay and necessary while also giving them a healthy push/reality check. e.g. instead of “always leave people feeling more loved than they felt before talking with you.” perhaps going with something more like “I am deserving of love as i am and where i am.” ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-06-27, version 2.8.3* I subscribed for the monthly plan yesterday and today the app won’t open. Just keeps on crashing ### 2/5 — Can’t listen *2023-10-18, version 2.7.2* I can make an account and everything but I can’t hear the audio! 😭 can someone tell me is it because of my phone or the app ### 3/5 — Widget is hard to use *2022-11-28, version 2.7.1* I wish I could edit the widget in a way that it showed me the affirmations from a select affirmations list. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find that option. ### 4/5 — review *2022-09-20, version 2.7* love the app. easy to use and that you can play it in the background while on other apps. the animation is cute. like that it is a ladies voice. enjoy that there are different affirmations. if i could add anything to the app to improve i would: have an ‘upload audio’ option rather than just ‘microphone’ have even more affirmations, like for trauma or eating disorders have a private journal you can write on with entries thank you for making this app ! ### 4/5 — Great content *2021-02-19, version 2.5* Voice is a bit stilted and robotic. ### 3/5 — Not all the sessions work *2020-11-30, version 2.4.1* I can’t get the one I really want - affirmations to work. It turns on and you see the pretty wave but there is nothing ### 2/5 — I can’t create an account!!! *2020-10-26, version 2.3.4* It freezes when I enter my details etc. Might have to try a different app if this isn’t sorted ### 4/5 — The daily affirmations really help, but extra customization would be great! *2020-09-21, version 2.3.1* Having the daily affirmations widget on my Home Screen really helps me get through my day, but I wish there were options to change the color of it. The soft tan color conflicts with how I like to customize my Home Screen. I know these widgets are fairly new, so it is understandable. Overall a great app. ### 2/5 — Affirmations disappear, app not reliable *2020-09-08, version 2.2.3* I love the simplicity of this app, so I wish it worked reliably. I spent a bunch of time creating recordings and today they all just disappeared from the app. It’s really disappointing. ### 4/5 — Updated review *2020-08-31, version 2.2.3* I left a review before I was able to truly try the app out of frustration. But after speaking with Joan, I am so incredibly impressed. I loved the app for the little I was able to use but because of a bug was unable to use the app to its fullest capability. I support this app 100% and am very thankful for the way Joan responded to my frustrations. Incredible support & am still recommending to my friends and family ### 2/5 — It’s ok. *2020-05-17, version 2.0.6* I wanted to love it but the affirmations using your own voice lags and apparently doesn’t save after you’ve closed the app. ### 2/5 — Typos and minimal content *2020-05-04, version 2.0.3* I enjoyed listening to this app for a bit but felt it was not interactive enough. I came across many typos and feel like they still have more to work on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disgusting *2026-06-19, version 2.10* They just want your money and then they’ll provide positivity but until you pay, no help! ### 1/5 — It’s meh *2024-12-30, version 2.8.5* At first I was so excited to get this app to help with a positive mindset but with reading reviews and having everything locked off I quickly realized that you need to buy a subscription for everything on here ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2024-07-15, version 2.8.3* App is completely glitched out and freezes then crashes when I try to open it. Disappointed it’s not been fixed after waiting over a week. ### 1/5 — The app won’t open?? *2024-07-09, version 2.8.3* Hello! I’ve had this app for over a month now and I still have not been able to use it or even access it. You may be saying, okay now that’s weird, how? Well, everytime i TRY to open the app, it immediately makes me exit it before i do anything. idk if it’s some sort of glitch. but it’s pretty annoying. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t open *2024-06-29, version 2.8.3* I can’t open the app and it crashes as soon as I try to open it. ### 1/5 — Hopes too high *2020-10-08, version 2.3.3* I saw this app and it’s simplicity and immediately loved it. But after getting on I realized none of my own affirmations save. I would love to create my own since so many of the affirmations given on the app you have to pay for. Which is another thing there are only about 3-4 affirmations that I’m able to listen to for free and the others require you to pay for subscription. I was also excited about the journals you are able to write but again you have to pay for it! It doesn’t seem like a lot of money but it would be so much more fun/ effective if it was free. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-09-21, version 2.3.1* I can’t save any custom playlist with my affirmations? Not sure if it’s a bug in the app or what. I created an account and everything. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not much help *2019-12-26, version 1.12* Doesn’t give you very many free affirmations you have to pay for most so no thanks ### 1/5 — Straight pay before proving value *2019-09-23, version 1.02* Charges me straight away to access help. When I can’t even preview the help I need. At least give a free trial to let me know it’s worth paying for. ### 2/5 — Poorly functioning *2026-07-05, version 2.11* I like the content but creating your own playlists is the only functionality I think this app has and it doesn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-03-17, version 2.8.5* Be mindful of the typos tho. There’s a lot of them. ### 5/5 — Affirmations *2024-01-28, version 2.7.2* Affirmations has really helped me in life and I think all of you guys should give it a shot 🙂 ### 5/5 — Customer *2023-11-07, version 2.7.2* This app is very precise in a positive way in orienting me to present tense reality. ### 5/5 — Great affirmations app! *2023-04-24, version 2.7.2* As best I can tell, this app is the only one that actually has someone read the affirmations to you. I prefer to do my affirmations this way; someone says them to me and I read them aloud. The app structure is great and lets me pick the area I’d like to focus on each morning when I do my affirmations. ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2021-06-13, version 2.6* I really love this app. And it free. I love that the fact I can schedule what time is good for me to listen to it. It gives me something to do as I’m going to bed or taking a shower. It’s nice that I can pick what I want to listen to stress or anxiety. Or self-esteem. Or relationship issues. It’s helped me in a lot of different areas in my life lately! I Thank you and my family thank you for the free mental health check-up!! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-05-07, version 2.5.2* I love the app so far. Wish it was cheaper to subscribe ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-09-14, version 2.2.5* The app developer made an update to the app and helped me to resolve the issues I was having. Now the app is perfect. Thank you Joan ### 5/5 — get this app y’all!!!!! *2020-09-06, version 2.2.3* such a great app!!!! i’m so happy the creators made this. already can tell it will help my day to day life. so excited to use this every day. never been more excited for an app lol ### 5/5 — Fine, cool app. *2020-01-11, version 1.14* This is a fine app. It has change your life for the good. Staying positive has never been so easy. ### 5/5 — Coolest option *2020-01-03, version 1.13* This is a cool option to consider if you need a stress manager to be with you all the time. A wonderful application. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
