### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-01-30, version 1.9.3*

Just trivia factoids, no discussion techniques.

### 5/5 — Small Talk is Excellent!

*2025-12-19*

A world of fantastic knowledge and insight provided to me daily at the scheduled time set up by me. This is a great notification to get every day to bring my awareness to other key elements of existence that may be in the back closet of the old brain and just needed a slight dusting!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words, Estelbuns.

You've really made my day :)

### 1/5 — Scam!

*2025-10-25, version 1.9.3*

I just started using the app, and it stated that the subscription costs approximately USD3 per month, and that it includes one free week with the option to cancel. However, I just was charged unexpectedly AUD20!…

### 5/5 — Essential daily tool

*2025-10-08, version 1.9.3*

I appreciate this daily, especially when I need a reset of my day.

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-07-13, version 1.9.2*

I really like this app. It has a good span of facts/info across a broad range of topics.

It is just starting to creak a little. Occasionally it hangs and needs to be restarted.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-06-25, version 1.9.2*

I recently come back to this app, but it no longer works, always “no data for this day” for me

### 5/5 — Great Find

*2025-05-30*

I love this little gem of an app!   Gives you just the right amount of info to use and keeps you learning small but useful things.   Upping to the paid version gets double the questions and info, such as a  daily image, recipe, book, ect.  This App gets used daily.  Customer support is top notch and super fast responses.  Even if you just stay with the free version, this app has things to offer.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for these kind words - you've made our day :)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-04-24, version 1.9.2*

Always interesting to open up the App each day and learn something new . Keep up the good work !

### 5/5 — More than what I wanted!

*2025-04-23*

I found this app originally when I was looking for “word of the day” app so I could expand my vocabulary. Most needed subscriptions, but the free version of this app gave me that and much more. The quotes, jokes, tips, and facts all help brighten my day! 

I love the feature to save things as well as the custom notification option. I’d definitely recommend this app to anyone interested in learning a little something new each day

**Developer response:** Thanks PocketLintLinen, you've really made my day!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-23, version 1.9.2*

I really like this app. Lots of fun & useful info in bite-size chunks. I check it everyday!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.3 — 2025-09-11

"Details matter, it’s worth waiting to get it right." – Steve Jobs

We’ve given the settings page a lick of paint as part of a wider ambition to refresh the UI/UX. Also, you can now change the colour of the app icon for dark mode!

Additionally, we’ve made a lot of changes under the hood as we prepare to release a search feature for the saved section and a few other nice surprises before Christmas :)

### 1.9.2 — 2025-02-08

I will just say...

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."
•⁠  ⁠Vincent Van Gogh

This release has a tiny update for small talk EXTRA members: for images (such as on Recipe, Image, Exercise and Book of the Day categories), there's some gesture-control elements now for ease of use: double tap to zoom in and out, swipe down to get out of full screen, and so on.

Coming soon in the next update: search on saved, dark mode app icon, updated settings interface, and some other cool stuff you've asked for.

### 1.9.1 — 2025-01-22

This release is just to fix a bunch of pesky bugs that slipped the net with the latest release.

We've fixed an issue with widgets not reloading properly, EXTRA status not showing accurately, and other issues revolving around subscriptions.

As always, please do get in touch if you have any feedback or suggestions. Some of the recent suggestions will be making it into our next release! You can reach us at hello@getsmalltalk.com

### 1.9.0 — 2024-12-24

“Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.” 
•⁠  ⁠Mark Twain

This is our biggest new release in a while, taking onboard feedback from the community.

There are three new premium categories for EXTRA subscribers: Book, Exercise, and Affirmation, helping you kick start your new year's resolutions with ease.

We've also refreshed the design of widgets, and are now offering a lifetime membership option for EXTRA.

### 1.8.4 — 2024-10-16

"The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it."
- Molière
This release fixes a pesky bug that suddenly popped up for Small Talk EXTRA subscribers.
While I wouldn’t exactly call overcoming this bug a 'glorious' feeling, as Molière suggests above, there's certainly a palpable sense of relief.
