Was excited when I downloaded it but it appears to have issues. ### 3/5 — Still can’t favourite principles one year on *2024-08-20, version 4.1.1* When I tap on the heart to add a principle to my favourites tab nothing happens ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2024-06-28, version 4.1.1* This is an excelling support and teaching tool, it just requires you to take the time, listen, and when you do it all starts to sink in. It challenges you to step out and look at situations from many perspectives and in doing so I have realized how stubborn I am, and how that leads to selfishness. No book or thought process is absolute, and I will always express my thoughts and stand true to my morals and values but when you learn to open your mind and “think different” those occasions become fewer and farther between. 2+2 does not equal 4. S. ### 5/5 — Once you are hooked to this app, you can’t leave without it *2024-06-17, version 4.1.0* Once you are hooked to this app, you can’t leave without it ### 4/5 — Great app, one suggestion *2024-06-03, version 4.1.0* I want to use this app and the notifications are helpful but I don’t always want to use it when they appear. It’s usually a generic prompt with “your principle of the day is ready” I think a better way to pull a user like me in is by sharing those principles right in the notification prompt. It’ll get me thinking and curious and would probably bring me in with just that. ### 2/5 — Didn't Save Any of my Progress *2024-05-02, version 4.1.0* After creating Principles or my own and doing the personality assessment test, of which I would frequently open the app the check, I got a new phone and found that none of my data transferred over. Even though I didn't have an account yet created, I imagined the app would have at least backed up the data to iCloud, given most other apps do this in the background anyway, regardless of whether an account is made or not. In addition, the app frequently crashes. Maybe this has something to do with trying to retrieve the previously saved data from iCloud, assuming it had even done so? Maybe it's crashing due to something else irrelevant. ### 5/5 — Principale *2024-04-15, version 4.1.0* Già solo il fatto che all’interno potrete trovare il libro di Ray gratuitamente vi può far capire il vero valore di questa applicazione, in pochi regalano frutti di anno di lavoro così. Ci tengo a precisare che non è strettamente creata per funzionare da diario quindi ci sta che non sia ancora performante su quell’aspetto, per il resto i suoi contenuti sono fonte di ispirazione ma anche un vero e proprio strumento per crescere personalmente; sempre se applicati con metodo e disciplina. Ad una speranza di una società migliore. ### 2/5 — Awesome content but takes too long to open the app *2024-04-15, version 4.1.0* It’s a shame it takes so long to open the app. Most of the time, I give up and move on before it loads. Great content when you can get to it. Probably best just bookmark the website instead. ### 5/5 — Perfect for Self Development and Growth *2024-02-10, version 4.0.3* I love the app,just downloaded it and I’m excited at the quantity and quality of value on it. I highly recommend it to anyone who aims to get better in life. ### 5/5 — HOW TO FIX BUGS *2024-01-24, version 4.0.3* Awesome app. If it’s being buggy, just uninstall and reinstall. That worked for me. I had all the same issues that I’m reading in the 1 star reviews. ### 4/5 — Buen libro *2023-10-25, version 4.0.3* Una pena que los hispanohablante no podamos complementar la buena información del libro con la App puesto que solo tiene el idioma inglés ### 2/5 — Funziona molto male *2023-10-22, version 4.0.3* Volevo usare l’app come supporto al diario/libro, ma funziona davvero male, ed è studiata in modo confuso. Rimossa. ### 5/5 — The coaching aspect is priceless *2023-09-29, version 4.0.3* The app makes it very easy for you to get “coaching points” from the book. In example, if you type in “I’m stressed”, it will automatically pull snippets from the book describing on how to deal with stress. ### 5/5 — Flabbergasted *2023-09-05, version 4.0.2* The best personality test I have done so far with alot of actionnable insights based on my personality archetype. Definitely worth trying plus the ressources are insightful to apply in your personal life & also work I can’t believe this is free !!! ### 3/5 — Cannot open app (stuck on loading screen) *2023-08-16, version 4.0.2* This app is a fantastic free resource, but I can no longer get past the initial loading screen when opening the app. Please fix! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2024-11-20, version 5.0.0* I enjoyed Rays books and I doubt Ray intended for this to happen. But this app sold my email to a service that has bombarded me with hundreds of scammy investment “newsletters”. No matter how many I unsubscribe from they just keep coming. Wish I never downloaded it. ### 1/5 — app not opening upon launch *2024-03-28, version 4.0.3* Second day from signing up and app will not open??? Stays on home page view only. ### 1/5 — Great App, Not Available. *2024-03-23, version 4.0.3* This application is so wonderfully amazing and has been a game changer for putting things in perspective. Just leaving a review to bring attention to its effectiveness but also draw attention to the fact that at this time as of this review it is not functioning as intended. I can’t wait to see its return. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t load principles *2024-01-07, version 4.0.3* Principle of the day doesn’t load, none of the case studies as well. App is extremely glitchy. Unusable. ### 1/5 — Unable to reset password *2023-08-07, version 4.0.2* The reset password function is not working, because the button to submit the new password is inaccessible. There is a bug in the app. ### 1/5 — Video in app is slow and not playable *2023-04-25, version 4.0.2* As above ### 1/5 — Great app undermined by rampant bugs *2022-04-22, version 3.3.7* Barely ever opens. And when it does it’s almost impossible to navigate due to bugs ### 1/5 — Data problems *2021-05-21, version 3.2.5* While the app itself is full of good content, the technical side of it could be improved. Following the update, all my principles I have been adding l, have been erased. Furthermore, I cannot send a help query, since the feedback form seems to be broken. Very good content, but mainly for reading, not for working with it on a daily basis. ### 1/5 — Unusable on iOS 12 *2020-12-20, version 3.1.5* Please make at least reading supported on iOS 12 on the iPad. I like the interactive elements which are not available on the Kindle or physical book. ### 1/5 — So slow in Iphone 11 pro max *2020-10-06, version 3.1.2* The app takes 30-40 seconds to open, when it opens for the first few minutes it keeps freezing, sometimes exits the app. So ridiculous. Was to be working perfectly couple of months ago. After an update, everything is ruined ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best app on the Apple App store *2026-03-25, version 5.0.2* This is by far the most profound app for personal and professional success that you can find out there. ### 5/5 — Valore immenso *2026-01-30, version 5.0.2* Il valore di ciò che Ray condivide gratuitamente è intenso. Quest’app ne è profondamente ricca. Grazie ### 5/5 — Fantastic app by Ray Dalio *2025-12-06, version 5.0.2* Very useful economic and personal growth principles and study cases. Obviously, for those in finance there is no need for introduction who Ray Dalio is! ### 5/5 — I love this *2025-11-15, version 5.0.2* This app has become important in my daily routine. Internalizing Ray's perspectives in life and business has greatly contributed to my evolution. Really grateful for this. ### 5/5 — Review *2025-11-14, version 5.0.2* Great App and also great Book!! Tiny detail about an improvement in the app. Clicking the favorite heart icon in the Principles section, is quite difficult. It seems a a bit unresponsive or as if it needs to be clicked in a very small spot. I often have to click many times before it responses. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-05-27, version 5.0.2* I’ve been reading Ray Dalio’s 3rd book and as much as possible I’m using the app!!!Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us Ray! Greatly appreciated ### 5/5 — App crashing *2025-03-14, version 5.0.1* I’m giving this five stars because I’ve been using this for years and I love it, but recently the app has been crashing so often that it’s become unusable. Can someone please address this? Thank you ### 5/5 — Principles of the day are always loading *2024-12-11, version 5.0.1* Edit: 11.12.24 Still Great App, have Problem to add principles to my favourites on iPhone 12 you can hit the heart button / it’s not responsive. This old problem is fixed: Great App, but I never got to see the principle of the day since it’s always loading. ### 5/5 — App crashing *2024-11-24, version 5.0.0* I’m giving this five stars because I’ve been using this for years and I love it, but recently the app has been crashing so often that it’s become unusable. Can someone please address this? Thank you ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-07-01, version 4.1.1* I bought Ray’s book “principles for dealing with changing world order” which refers to this app in the introduction. I love the content. I love the opportunity it provides, to anyone who is willing to contemplate their personality and who seeks personal growth. I love the structure, the approach, the volume, everything.e --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
