### 5/5 — Use the app, get healthy

*2025-12-17*

It’s as simple as that! Finally someone is using technology for positive change instead of hooking people to videos or inflammatory comments by social media influencers.

### 5/5 — Enabling, Empowering and Healing

*2025-11-11*

In just mere minutes the daily PQ reps lift me out of mental distress and into positive, creative sage-like focus.  I’ve cut short hours of anguish, negativity spiraling and even pain medication. In years of coaching nothing has ever provided so much relief and so quickly.

### 5/5 — Great Sage steps & reps

*2025-10-20, version 4.5.5*

These small repetitive PQ reps help calm the inner chatter and move more peacefully & gracefully.

### 5/5 — Positive Life changing

*2024-09-13, version 3.18.3*

I have been an actively following this program for 3 years and it has been life changing. Slow and steady with a positive and high performance change in my life.

### 5/5 — I’ve received a lot of value from PQ

*2024-01-08*

I really appreciate the PQ program. The app is well designed and easy to use.

### 5/5 — The best thing I ever did

*2023-09-26*

Mental Fitness by Positive Intelligence is by far the most effective program for mental health that I have ever been a part. Key word, resiliency.

### 5/5 — Life changing!!!

*2023-08-09*

This app has literally changed my life. I am in recovery from the imposter syndrome thanks to this work. Incredible!

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2023-04-27*

This is one of the easiest personal growth apps I’ve ever used. It doesn’t take a lot of time, it’s grounded in what helps you change dysfunctional behavior into wise, positive behavior that support strong relationships, wellbeing, and effectiveness. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Love this program

*2022-12-12*

This has made a world of difference in my stress and anxiety. So many puzzle pieces I’ve learned over the years and while getting my psych degrees make sense with this program.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-12-06*

I love this app, the book, the coaches and the course. As someone sated in an earlier review…its a game/life changer.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2022-10-30*

One of the best apps I have every used.  Excellent.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2022-07-25, version 3.2.4*

The best interactive app , been using it for six months and it’s improving as am I ,  I’m building more skills on a daily bases .
Use it every day!

### 5/5 — Great app, great program

*2022-05-10*

Early experience with the app and program has been extremely positive, will update as I go along

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not accessible - no subtitle

*2025-08-31*

The majority of the videos do not have subtitle options and the ones that do - often there are still no subtitles despite having the setting turned on.

### 1/5 — App Does not Work  W/Latest iOS Versions

*2024-10-23*

I really want to love this program, but I have not been able to complete the exercises and follow along because the app does not work on the latest iOS versions. It does everything from audio glitches to completely crashing. I am unable to complete the daily focus exercises because the audio cuts out. On the rare occasion that I can make it all the way through, I cannot submit my progress which leaves many items locked and inaccessible. Most recently, when I try to complete the coach challenges the app completely crashes. It is incredibly frustrating and unfortunate, especially when trying to invest your time, money, and energy into doing something positive for yourself.

### 1/5 — Spam stay away

*2023-01-25*

I want to get rid of it. I can’t. I sat stop sending messages they don’t I removed the app but they don’t go away from my mail. This is a disgrace to someone who claims he is a professor from Stanford university. 
The name Shirzad Chamine on LinkedIn associated with Positive Intelligence.

### 2/5 — There's no free lunch

*2025-10-14, version 4.5.4*

When the positive intelligence program becomes available to you for free after being awarded a grant, you submit to this somewhat authoritarian app.  For instance, the app doesn't allow you to access the settings, including adjust notifications, before you complete a bunch of exercises.  It feels like twisting your arm to comply with their program.  In a way, this coercion may be effective in helping me make progress to my own goal.  On the other hand, I don't want to adopt this coaching style or techniques, even if effective, because overall it's morally wrong to treat other autonomous individuals like the nanny state.   This approach backfired during COVID 2020-2022 and many other times throughout history.

### 2/5 — Great content, app could use some improvement

*2022-07-28*

This feedback is not about the content but of the user experience. 

Please add offline functionality. I spend a lot of time in low/no reception areas and would love to have some sort of asynchronous sync where I last left off. Because of this, I can’t do the focus/gym when I want to and listen to the audiobook or modules.

Another weird quirk about the videos in the weekly video sessions are the videos repeat after finishing rather than going onto the next. It takes a few screen taps to move onto the next section. Video playback controls would be a good add too. 

Otherwise the PQ content itself is great.

### 3/5 — Terms & Conditions AGAIN?

*2025-01-03*

While I’m a long time user of PQ and I otherwise enjoy using the app, I am not a big fan of having to accept the terms and conditions every single time I open the app. Please fix that? Thanks!

### 3/5 — This app was brilliantly created

*2023-09-04, version 3.12.3*

But, Every few months there are glitches & there’s a need to delete the app & reinstall, if IT support can’t help, which seems to be common.  
If you have that awareness then keep going bc it’s a great training tool & can be a game changer.  Check the website for more information & free self assessment tests.

### 3/5 — App crashes doesn't load

*2021-11-02*

It's a very intriguing process, but the app just doesn't load daily information/challenges consistently.

### 4/5 — Excellent service, good app

*2022-04-26*

I’ve used this app for over 6 months, better than anything else out there. The recent upgrade was generally an improvement as well. 

One note for potential improvement: I find it cannot perform with a poor cellular or WiFi connection. It simply becomes unresponsive. 

I hope better affordances can be put in place to show loading and perhaps some proactive caching could be considered as the encouraged use is daily, throughout the day. I’d prefer to have the day’s recordings cached in the morning in case I’m out and about when attempting to listen.

### 4/5 — Great program that would benefit from Chromecast functionality

*2021-06-15*

So far the program looks good but I am disappointed that while there is the ability to cast to apple, there’s no chromecast functionality. Watching 60 minutes of video on my phone is not my ideal. Otherwise so far so good!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2026-07-28, version 4.6.21*

I’ve used other apps such as as Headspace and Calm but could never follow up for long because I didn’t like them. PQ is an amazing app in terms of design, interaction and byte-sized modules all build to not overload the brain system and enhance wellbeing.

### 5/5 — Meticulously Curated Content - Bravo!

*2026-07-28*

This ground-breaking program encompasses every modality for strong Sage mental fitness - highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Changed my view of life!

*2026-06-18*

I started this practice right when Covid started and I was homeschooling my daughter. She was not happy to be sitting in front of a Zoom screen. My number one Saboteur is the Hyperachiever which came out in full force and almost ruined our relationship. I finally saw how that impacted the people around me. It opens your eyes to your strengths how you can overuse them in a negative way. This is a game changer!

### 5/5 — It works

*2026-05-06, version 4.6.13*

I have been using this App for over a year now and in very simple terms, it works. I have managed to improve the quality of my life.

### 5/5 — Deep, Jedi focus is available to everyone

*2026-05-04*

It’s hard to describe the value of this app to someone who has not experienced it—because it sounds too good to be true! When I started the PQ program, I knew this program contained what was missing from every other program I’d experienced, including as a corporate employee. If your external results are not matching what you believe yourself capable of, invest in this research-backed program. I was already a professional coach when I completed this program, but this program instantly made me understand how presidents govern nations. Ease can be practiced, but deep, Jedi change is accessible to anyone.

### 5/5 — Super Effective and Yet Effortless

*2026-03-17*

The Positive Intelligence App is far more than just an app. It is a system based on decades of research. I have experienced such profound changes in my mood and energy, even as someone who has engaged in a lot of personal growth efforts over the course of time. Interacting with the app is easy and enjoyable while at the same time challenging deeply engrained patterns.

### 5/5 — When you stop believing every thought you think, your life gets a whole lot lighter.

*2026-02-20, version 4.6.5*

I used to believe every thought my mind created especially the ones that were highly critical. 

The problem was, most of those thoughts weren’t true. 
And no matter how many times I replayed them, a lie never became truth.

The Positive Intelligence app gave me a simple way to catch those thoughts, name them, and choose peace instead. 

It taught me that pain in life is real, but suffering is optional because I am not my thoughts.

Today, I live with more calm, confidence, and clarity. 

Thanks to Positive Intelligence, my mind is no longer my enemy and is becoming my ally.

### 5/5 — Trying to be original

*2026-02-16, version 4.6.4*

Life-changing.  That’s what a lot of the reviews say.  I can’t disagree. The habit creeps in over time.  The change in outlook is gradual.  The reframing of  situations hardly noticeable.  And then one day, the mood is gone and like Jedi warrior nothing seems to harm you emotionally anymore.   All in less than 1 year having spent a lifetime combatting depression.  So albeit I’m trying to be original, I actually can’t.  It’s life-changing .

### 5/5 — Life Changing!

*2026-02-04, version 4.6.2*

This app I’ve been using everyday for 4 years. Nothing in my life is as impactful on my mental health, well-being, relationships and performance than this programme.

### 5/5 — Exceptional Concept

*2026-01-13, version 4.6.0*

Ever wanted a personal assistant, who teaches and reminds you of how wonderful life is or could be, if only you managed to love yourself more and if only you could break those self-sabotaging comments you make to yourself all day long? Well, THIS is the app and program that is based on neurological fact and how to easily recognise patterns and how to easily change them. Consistency is key and I have been using this for months. Highly recommended.
