### 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.

### 4/5 — Cool App, for sure! Just one problem...

*2024-11-16, version 1.8.4*

I genuinely like this app, as it’s cool that it gives cool new info. Everyday, inspirational, educational and just generally interesting to know type of info. But yea, the only problem I have with this app, and the only reason I’ve not actually bought it yet, is simply cus you can't search your saved items. And yea if you were actually able to search through your saved items, in order to find it faster, whenever you may wanna remind yourself of something you read on it, for whatever reason, then yea, this app would be worth £10 a yr. For sure!! So yea Swift Key hurry up and let us search our saved items Please!! And then yeah we're good 2Go!!

### 4/5 — Really like this app

*2024-10-08, version 1.8.3*

Would love if it had an iOS 18 dark mode icon too though

### 2/5 — Shady Advertising

*2024-10-05, version 1.8.3*

Keeps asking me to upgrade even though I already upgraded to unlimited. Each month the upgrade pop up comes up over and over. I do like the app but it’s becoming frustrating.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2024-09-19*

Unable to contact whoever is involved with information accuracy as I’ve found a “tip of the day” that is not sourced and upon researching found it has no scientific backing at all. Please only include accurate information for the betterment of the community

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! You make a fantastic point about the 'tip of the day' - this is meant to be a lighthearted lifehack, something that a grandparent might pass down as words of wisdom. 

We do tend to research and verify each tip of the day, however, sometimes some more specific lifehacks might require more direct evidence with scientific backing. From now on, we'll ensure that the tip of the day has a source with evidence.

Please could you let us know which daily tip was incorrect or misleading? We'll remedy the situation immediately. Feel free to let us know at hello@getsmalltalk.com

### 2/5 — Generalized, inaccurate facts

*2024-08-04*

I like the concept of this app, but I’ve frequently decided to check the source on some facts that surprise me to find that the fact in the app is either not true or only partially true. The facts shown in the app tend to make generalized conclusions from the source that may not always be completely correct. Or, sometimes the fact is just plain wrong. Seems like a small team picking out things they find interesting and sending them to the app, regardless of how closely the statement is accurately reflecting the source. Love the concept, just don’t feel like I can trust it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and valuable feedback.

We take the time to verify all the facts we post on small talk and take pride in our status as an island amidst a veritable ocean of clickbait headlines and fake news. It’s quite alarming to hear that you’ve found some gaps in the process.

Could you please contact us with more information about the facts in question? We’ll amend them retrospectively and take steps to ensure this never happens again. I'll send over a reward in exchange.

### 3/5 — Too expensive

*2023-12-11, version 1.8.1*

Not worth it for me. The basic app is good enough for me.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-10-17*

I never write reviews but as my daily dose of knowledge arrived today I realized how happy it made me! Perfect amount of fun facts and the “today on this day” part is super interesting. And I love the no ads! Keep going!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! It's reviews like this that truly make our day.

I'm glad you're enjoying the facts and historical events, they happen to be our personal favourites as well :)

### 5/5 — get It

*2023-10-08, version 1.8.1*

Dont think twice. Talk is cheap. Smalltalk is good

### 4/5 — Great, a few fixes

*2023-08-08*

I downloaded the app for the widgets. The title font “word of the day” “inspiration” etc. is a bit difficult to read and unpleasant given the shadow effect used. And sometimes with the inspiration widget it will show all the author info but the quote or saying is cut off and you have to open the app to see it. I rather see the full quote rather than the author and his ten titles. Just some minor issues I hope could be addressed in an overall great app so far.

**Developer response:** Thank you for some valuable feedback. I know it's a little late in the day (it has been a year...) but we'll be addressing the widgets in an upcoming release, check back in October :)

### 5/5 — Great app

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-01-30, version 1.9.3*

Just trivia factoids, no discussion techniques.

### 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!…

### 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

### 1/5 — Can’t access subscription features

*2024-10-13*

I paid and was charged for the subscription features. But I haven’t been able to use any of it. It’s getting frustrating being charged for a feature I can’t use. I always get the “error try again later” response when I try to access it

**Developer response:** Hi Mike, many apologies that you are facing this issue.

We've now identified the cause - our recent server migration has caused disruption for a few of our members, and we're pushing an update this week to solve it.

Please can you contact me at hello@getsmalltalk.com and I will arrange a token of apology for you.

Best regards,
Rich

### 1/5 — Doesn’t upgrade

*2023-01-16, version 1.7.1*

Good job is a free trial as ur hasn’t actually upgraded to the extra. I uninstalled and re installed still doesn’t work! Won’t restore sub keeps saying already purchased for another small talk account using my Apple ID. I only have the one! PleS someone tell me where I’ve gone wrong!

### 1/5 — cheap

*2023-01-12, version 1.7.1*

instant uninstall because i have to pay to actually have the text show up as a widget??? plus the topics are very plain, basic and generic and not thought provoking at all which is what was anticipated so yeah, big let down

### 1/5 — Faulty

*2023-01-04, version 1.7.1*

This update to small talk extra was bought on this iPad but I have it on my iPhone as well. It won’t accept it. Just keeps asking me to pay extra for it and when I do it just says I’ve already paid for it. Fix it. Christine

### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone 13 pro MAX

*2022-04-29, version 1.6*

App is not detecting any touch movement!!

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2020-04-26, version 1.4*

Useless app. Didn’t get access without providing my Facebook login. 
Didn’t want the app to access my personal information....so I quit ..

### 1/5 — beautiful

*2019-12-18, version 1.4*

I hardly write reviews, but I felt that this app deserved one. I love quotes, and remembering quotes, and able to use other people’s remarkable words to compensate for your own and to speak for themselves, this app, I feel is extraordinary, and I wish I found it earlier. It’s perfect, and I couldn’t fault it for anything. it’s beautiful, enjoy it while it lasts. I love the word of the day and the entertaining, comical facts that sometimes come up on certain days. All aspects of the app are wonderful, huge kudos to the developers. Thank you so much.

### 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 :)

### 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.

### 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 :)
