And I allowed full access but it doesn't work even though the keyboard language is English. Is this only for the Americans? PLZ let me know if I'm doing wrong. ### 2/5 — Good as a concept but needs work *2024-05-08, version 4.2* Don’t get me wrong, this app is a good idea, but the execution needs work. I saw the booster video at school and I thought i co check it out. I tested out a lot of insults but the rethink notification did not pop up. Many of them were used on me from the time when I was bullied. The keyboard is also very slow and many of the suggestions for words that you are typing out are inaccurate. TL:DR, good idea but needs some revisions. ### 2/5 — Sadly didn’t appear on my keyboard when trying to change the keyboard *2024-03-03, version 4.2* I did everything right idk if I’m just stupid or it’s just not working ### 4/5 — It does what is says it does *2023-04-26, version 4.2* For some reason it doesn’t catch kys, I was just messing around with it and I feel like that’s something it should definetly have. ### 2/5 — Bad keyboard *2023-01-18, version 4.2* The keyboard is super laggy, can’t even speak english right on this keyboard. ### 3/5 — Works ish *2022-11-11, version 4.0* Kinda laggy but really wish it had settings ### 2/5 — Admirable Effort but Misses the Mark *2021-12-07, version 2.3* Downloaded because I was interested to see how the app worked, and if it was truly able to stop hateful messages. Practiced several times and there’s a few notable things: 1. Keyboard itself is quite glitchy and slow making it hard to type with, and undesirable to use as primary keyboard 2. Not all harmful or hateful phrases were flagged with major exceptions being stupid and idiot while bullying certainly can use more vulgarities would still be good to have these messages flagged. 3. App itself is touched poorly from website and promos it’s unclear what the app actually is, and they overstate it’s use as though it can stop harmful messages from being sent at all, when it instead just provides a warning prior to sending a message. 4. Not sure what scenarios this app is actually useful in since the interface is so poor that it’s hard to imagine schools will want to use to it, or that parents will have success in forcing their kids to use it since again hateful messages aren’t stopped they just receive warnings. I admire what the intention of the app is meant to do but ultimately it’s not making any real difference in cyber bullying. ### 3/5 — Good intent; missing some phrases. *2021-11-18, version 2.3* After seeing this app on Shark Tank I figured I'd check it out for myself. After testing dozens of obscenities and racial slurs I discovered that most of them were caught by the app, but some weren't. Most surprisingly, any phrases with the word "fat"; "You're fat", "You're so fat", "You're fat and dumb", and even "You're a fatass" and "Hey fatty" were not caught. Seeing as how obesity is a big target for bullying (pardon the pun), I was surprised to discover this. Maybe that should be given a second look and fixed. Other than that, the intent of the app is admirable and I respect the young entrepreneur behind it. Good on her. ### 4/5 — I love it but slows my keyboard *2021-11-18, version 2.3* I love the idea but it slows my keyboard down too much, please fix! ### 2/5 — Works but eh... *2021-01-01, version 2.3* I got this app after seeing it on Shark Tank, I’ve got to admit it’s not very good. It does what’s promised but the keyboard is not very good and can’t allow me to type fast. Also when I want to say something not “kind” to my friend it’s annoying to see the thing pop up. Overall it’s ok and it’s worth trying. ### 3/5 — The idea is great, but we need more functionality *2020-12-29, version 2.3* This app is great in concept! I am an active participant of Reddit and like to check what I say on there, and after seeing this on NBC news, decided to download it. I soon found out why it was rated only a three star. It is very laggy. I know everyone is saying this, but it is. It’s quite annoying. Another thing is I have shortcuts in place that I have gotten used to using on my phone (eg u-you, r-are, c-see, gtg-got to go etc) and this app doesn’t support that. It also doesn’t detect passive aggressive things or sarcasm, or patronizing stuff. I recommend a feature that detects the tone of your writing and warn you. In conclusion, this app needs a rework. ### 3/5 — Additons and update *2020-12-12, version 2.3* You shold be able to add in words or slang words for rethink to learn . Like bch or fc ect. I justarted. And notoiced how this could improve things . Also the key board is messed up it lags and can not keep up with quick typing . ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-12-09, version 2.3* I downloaded rethink and i think the idea is great but i keep having to retype letters because it isnt picking it up but otherwise i love the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NOOO *2025-08-31, version 4.2* I WISH I COULD RATE THIS ZERO STARS!!! I hurt my cousins feelings with this app, tried testing it out and the keyboard is weird and doesn’t give any indication that I am being rude. 😂 ### 1/5 — 🤬🤢🤮 *2025-08-23, version 4.2* That’s frecking trashㅠㅠ Do not use this trash ### 1/5 — Rethink is awfull *2025-02-20, version 4.2* This app is a awesome idea... If it worked. If I could give it zero Stars I would ### 1/5 — It sadly don’t work *2025-02-05, version 4.2* Rip ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-01-15, version 4.2* App is lagging and horrendous to use. If I could give it. Zero stars, I would, but it’s physically impossible to. ### 1/5 — chacha *2022-05-03, version 4.0* this doesn’t work lols in my marketing class today we were told abt this app n wtvr n bro i downloaded this n texted my bf (bc he’s understanding) n called him a bunch o shi n it didn’t work lolol #crying ### 1/5 — What happened? *2021-11-18, version 2.3* So, I downloaded the app, opened it, and it didn’t work. It wanted me to go to the keyboard and type, but it didn’t “rethink” my text. It just let me send it with all my pleasure, so I got rid of the app. There is plenty of room for improvement. ### 1/5 — Imran *2021-07-19, version 2.3* Don’t get the app ### 1/5 — Not very sophisticated *2021-07-19* Its an ok idea, but a bit clunky, and too easy to change keyboards… also it did not catch some pretty basic insults I put into it. Seems like a Beta version that needs a lot of work to make it streamlined and a bit harder to turn off. ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-01-02, version 2.3* It doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2023-11-10, version 4.2* I am from a school that does booster thon I had my fun run today and in gym I saw your video this app is amazing! From-happy customer ### 5/5 — It is really a good idea! *2023-07-05, version 4.2* It is a really good idea to prevent cyber bullying, but can you also add other languages version, please? ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-07-10, version 4.0* Innovative concept ### 5/5 — Slavery is not censored *2022-02-20, version 4.0* Nuff said Ps capslock overrides everything 😹 ### 5/5 — slow *2021-11-18, version 2.3* i love the idea but it is pretty slow ### 5/5 — From Nathan *2021-10-03, version 2.3* Just watched shark tank an see what your cause was for i appreciate everything your doing ### 5/5 — Shark Tank *2021-02-28, version 2.3* And I fell in love with the entrepreneur. I was so excited to get the app and share it with my daughter. It wasn’t until I downloaded the app that I did not share it with other parents. The app cannot keep up with my typing. I would have to press the app each message.I Believe that this is something very beneficial. I being a parent will take the time to work with this app. Teens not so much. Please get this updated.Teenagers nowadays are so innovated they know so much and this app is slow. Your a hero or a zero as L would say. ### 5/5 — :) *2020-08-06, version 2.3* Saw you on shark tank,I decided to check out the app,Pretty amazing for a person whose been coding for probably over six years now, LOVE How it sensors every time when you press the enter button, the auto correction, It’s pretty easy to use, I really hope this app actually helps make a difference from cyber bullying, I just am sorry I can’t support your app so much by keeping it installed, my storage is full :( ### 5/5 — effective for adults too *2020-07-24, version 2.3* i’m fully grown and still downloaded this because it helps me just keep myself in check. i can get nasty when my feelings are hurt, and this app works well. the UI could be prettier but works great. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2020-06-05, version 2.3* I am here because of shark tank.
