## What is Vibes for Watch?

Vibes reads emotions during conversation to help improve emotional communication and shared understanding. Vibes is the first emotional subtitle app for Apple Watch, buzzing emotions with real-time haptic and visual feedback. Use Vibes to improve your emotional perception when speaking with people from different demographics. Vibes can also be used to better understand your own vocal tone in conversations.

Vibes was created to improve emotional connection and friendship across diverse communities of people, while supporting the power of each person’s unique voice.

Vibes uses only on-device processing, so all vocal data and emotional classifications cannot be accessed by Vibes or a third party. Vibes currently only supports North American English speakers, including age, gender, race, neurotype, geography and communication style diversity within North American English.

NOTE: Vibes currently only supports Apple Watches Series 4 or later, running watchOS 8. Vibes is not yet available for older Apple Watches or as a standalone iPhone app.

### 5/5 — New user

*2023-07-08, version 1.0.9*

I’m a new user to Vibes Watch. I figured out pretty quickly the set up. It listens to your conversation to help you assess your emotional status.  At first I wasn’t sure it could assess correctly but it got better with time. It’s helpful to have a way to understand emotions you yourself may not be aware are going on. It would be really helpful for my nephew who is on the spectrum and struggles identifying emotions.

### 5/5 — Amazing

### 1/5 — only good if you can afford it

*2023-04-19, version 1.0.9*

Y’all need to disclose this is a subscription service in your advertising. especially since your target audience is those who have a hard time understanding social cues and emotions, which means most of your target audience is going to be autistic or disabled if you're marketing to autistic people you need to be direct and to the point with the language you use to avoid confusing us. Over 66% of autistic adults are unemployed that being said most disabled and autistic people aren't going to be able to afford your service therefore making it useless and inaccessible to us.

### 5/5 — Changed my life

*2023-02-15, version 1.0.9*

An app that tells you what emotion someone is feeling!? There’s something so futuristic about this I absolutely love it. It’s helped me out a lot in my relationship to avoid misunderstandings and arguments! It makes me feel more comfortable in new social settings too

### 1/5 — False advertisement.

*2023-01-31, version 1.0.8*

App is kept behind a paywall that isn’t disclosed In the advertisements and the app is made to look free when you go to download it. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Please tell people that you have to pay for it 👎

*2023-01-26, version 1.0.8*

I was severely disappointed with this app when I had to pay for it
