App keeps crashing

I was really excited about this app, but I can’t get past the initial screen. It crashes after 1 syllable of Dan’s voice

Bug

This doesn't open for me. Or when open after few seconds didn't run

I cannot open the app

I was so excited to see the type of content available. However no matter what I try, I have not been able to explore the app as every time I hit it, it’s like a glitch - it tries to open and closes right away. Kind of disappointed

The App Never works!

Once charged, it is too late and can’t get access to it. Frustrating and disappointing!

Can’t take the tests-

Clicking on the tests is a dead end. Sorry that’s the only reason I downloaded the app. This shouldn’t be in the App Store in its current form.

🤔

Hmmm .... paying before getting a chance to see even a glimpse of the content!
It must be part of one his studies

Would be curious how many people download the app just to delete and review in less than 5 min

So disappointed in Ariely

I have been subscribed for months/years. Like another stated, I cannot get into the app. From app home screen
1. Asks me to subscribe
2. I click subscribe 2. Message says”you are already a subscriber”.
3. As instructed, I click restore purchases.
4. Message says “no active subscription”
5. Back on app home screen (see #1 above) and the process repeats.

Cannot get off the app home screen. This app should be shut down by Apple and refunds issued.

How can Ariely/Ariely’s team be so smart, but with no common sense — if you have an app, it should work — if you don’t want to make it work, take it down.

Could not get the...

...free trial to work.

Pay just to enter???

Be aware you will not be able to even see anything until you agree to pay. Ridiculous. Deleted immediately. And this from a person that suppose to know how consumers behave...

Seriously?! $2/month for what?

There is nothing here that makes this worth a monthly subscription fee. Not even sure it would merit a one time fee. I just don’t see the value.

I absolutely love Dan Ariely but,

This app has been extremely aggravating. I have bought it, and every piece of insight Dan has produced that I am aware of. This hasn't worked 9/10 times in the last 5 years. Now it says I need to pay more?

Subscription Required?!?! How Ridiculous.

I’ve had this app for several years, and even while it became even more buggy over time, I kept it, hoping that it would eventually be updated for future compatibility. I really enjoyed some of the simple demonstrations that could be found in this app, along with the little quizzes and tests to make it interactive. Alas, when I returned to the app today in many months I found a new screen asking me to subscribe for access to this app that I’ve owned for so long!!! I would be willing to pay a one time fee for access (never mind the fact that I already owned in the first place), but unfortunately the new subscription model has made it clear that I will not be using this app again. I’m hoping that maybe, just maybe, if I check in a year or two this ludicrous decision will be reversed, but for now I’m done with it. What a way to ruin my morning. Thanks

Pay wall block / odd pricing

On initially opening are blocked with pay wall even though the back page says "one month free trial". So no trial without subscribing, which I won't do.

Pricing is $1.99/month and $24.99/year. Cheaper by the month than by the year. Odd pricing.

I feel part of a behavioral economics research experiment with this app. :-) Sorry, but no thanks.

I am sure it's an awesome app

I am sure it's an awesome app and I would love to pay but I can't. I don't have a credit card ( it's not the most common thing in Bangladesh) . I have read and watched Dan's free contents available on the web and I have learned many interesting and practical ideas. Is it possible to offer a free content per day like Blinkist and Creative Live ?

Useless

Just an expensive way to access Arielys work, nothing new there. A waste of money. If you want to donate, donate directly.

Not ready for prime time

Where do I begin? Buggy. Slow. Hard to use. And you're immediately confronted with a subscription paywall the moment you start the app... I really wanted to like this one.

Bad UX

Smacks you with a subscription prompt right off the bat. In all caps it says "FREE TRIAL" but there's nothing to tap other than the Monthly or Annual pay options.

I'm all for supporting a good app service but at least let me experience it first.

Needs an update to fix issues

Both the lectures and shorts sections come back with errors, podcasts work fine.

Stay away

Worst app. Lectures don't run..,

Simply Awesome

I love being able to have the lectures and all things Ariely with me 24/7.
