3. [R10] 5/5 · GB Amazed: Amazing app I can use it every time I’m depressed or stressed
4. [R15] 5/5 · GB Amazing!: Really easy to set up. Helped me so much with my mental health!
5. [R8] 4/5 · GB Fantastic app: I love this app, especially the way the backgrounds change and there's a mix of my favourite quotes with some added new ones thrown in. I look at it every morning for some inspiration. My only quibble is that sometimes the colour of the text makes it unreadable against the background and this happens often enough for it to be slightly annoying but this is a minor thing!
6. [R12] 5/5 · GB OMG: I ABSOLUTELY love this game! It is so helpful and I love the quotes it gives you! I love how it lets you decide what u would want the quotes to be based on! But one downside, I think you should not make the VIP as expensive. I understand it’s how you make the money but it’s a bit expensive and the people without it don’t have a lot of choices. Other than that I Love this game! Defo recommen
7. [R28] 5/5 · GB Amazing: I love the New Widget I wake up to On my Phone !! I recommend this deeply! thank you Motivation
8. [R30] 5/5 · GB A very good app: A great app, quotes are great and the lock screen feature is top notch
9. [R36] 5/5 · GB Motivation: The messages that I get always speak to me in a personal manner. They surely motivate me and keep me going . Positive vibes is what you get from this app. I share this positivity with friends and family .
10. [R38] 5/5 · GB This app has changed my life!🥹: At first I was so anxious and I felt sad. This app has helped me and I feel more self confident and ready to face the world. I love that it is more personal with the quotes sometimes including my name. It is such a great idea that you can also choose your favorite app image and include a widget as well. Personally, I feel so much happier and a little weight has lift
11. [R40] 5/5 · GB Game changer, changes my life: I hardly write reviews but this is one of my staple apps. My negative thoughts have reduced drastically, I’ve learned to reframe my thoughts in a way I never thought possible with this app, it’s worth the reasonable annual subscription- this is around my 4th year subscribing. The app with its widgets and custom time notifications reminders are just so useful in he
12. [R52] 5/5 · GB One flaw: This app made me feel so much more confident in myself, and when I am sad or anxious, I always think to myself my favourite quote “ Don’t cry about the past, don’t stress about the future, but make the present good” It just touches me so much! The only reason I called this ‘one flaw’ was because I need to use my email address just to buy wallpapers and that annoys me. Overall, it’s ama
13. [R32] 3/5 · GB WIDGETS NOT WORKING: PLEASE FIX BUG - Widgets are just blank/ black. I have updated my app and phone & removed/ re added the widget etc. nothing seems to fix it.
14. [R22] 1/5 · GB Widget Issue: Widget doesn’t work on my iPhone 15 Plus homescreen. It appears as a blank peach screen. Please can you fix
15. [R73] 3/5 · GB It’s ok: The daily reminders didn’t work so that was a bit disappointing. The quotes are quite uplifting though. In the end I deleted it because I wasn’t getting the daily reminders and on my widget the quote didn’t change
16. [R45] 2/5 · GB Widget dont work: Once in a while, widgets on lock and home screen go blank.
17. [R1] 4/5 · GB Too much quantity over quality with the quotes: There’s been a lot of new quotes of late but quality is poor in many and feel like something an influencer wrote on Instagram once upon a time. There’s lots of tried and tested quotes available online that resonate with most people.
18. [R5] 1/5 · GB This app has changed… for the worse!: I cannot believe I re-downloaded this app hoping to be inspired on a daily basis buy an app that used to give me almost hourly motivation. Unfortunately now it is full of lazy and uninspiring quotes that half the time don’t make any sense or my eight-year-old could’ve come up with why is this app telling me it loves me like seriously I got a quote the other da
19. [R29] 2/5 · GB ???: The lockscreen feature is great and the app is easy to use, but I found that the quotes aren’t great and if you’re using the free version, you can’t tailor your quotes. I don’t want love quotes appearing on my lockscreen, especially since I didn’t select that as something I’m worrying about. I chose things such as stress and work for my concerns, and it’s sending me constant notifications ab
20. [R90] 2/5 · GB Used to be decent: Used to be okay with a daily motivational quote from successful people and theories. Now it gives you ridiculous life coaching statements that tell you how to manage your relationships and to dump people that aren’t making you happy. Not really motivational quotes anymore really. Had to delete.
21. [R43] 2/5 · GB Was good but greedy now: I remember this app use to help me but now I see you have to pay. Doesn’t really help especially if money is a current problem for people
22. [R93] 3/5 · GB Price: Hi, I’m confused, I really love the app and the quotes but is it always on premium? Like am I always paying for something even though I just signed onto the app and it came up with the description for premium but I pressed the cross. I’m hoping this means I’m not paying. Thanks
23. [R104] 1/5 · CA Cost $2.50 a month no way around it: Waste of your time and money
24. [R91] 1/5 · GB Money: Good App but, even though I unsubscribed it still tries to take £19.99. PLEASE GET THIS SORTED
25. [R107] 1/5 · CA Motivation: Reminders are not working, I contacted the developer but they do not answer, i will leave a bad review on daily bases until they acknowledge app doesn’t work…DO NOT BUY I received email from developer were it says they will help me, i replied with the info provided but 2 days later nothing. DO MOT BUY THOSE GUYS ARE A JOKE AND THE TAKE YOUR MONEY… STAY AWAY
26. [R122] 1/5 · CA Scam: I chose 3 days free trial and i got charged 28.24$
27. [R141] 1/5 · CA Descent: Offered a 3 day trial, charged me for a year subscription right away. If that didn’t happen I would have rated 5 stars. But seeing as they pulled the old bait and switch 1 star it is.
28. [R99] 1/5 · GB Schedules don’t work: I setup the app to send me 4 messages a day between 10 am and 8pm. Everyday those 4 messages come between 10am and 10:30am. Kinda defeats the object of using it.
29. [R126] 2/5 · CA Disappointed: Really enjoyed this app until it started pushing through notifications through my focus modes even though it wasn’t filtered or allowed. As well having it send notifications on my Apple watch when I deleted the app on my watch and turned the notifications off on my watch. Do better.
30. [R190] 3/5 · CA The app was great before the new UPADTE: The new update is difficult to use I don’t know where anything please bring bag an option for the old version and !!!
31. [R173] 2/5 · CA Great …. When it works: I used to love this app. It has great thoughts and prompts. I would start my day with this. Since March 2025 though - the app continually crashes when trying to open it! I’ve done all the fixes - downloaded updates, reset, reinstalled… but it will not open reliably now as a daily thing! For a paid subscription, this is unacceptable.
32. [R178] 2/5 · CA Amazing to horrible: This is the first time I’ve ever posted a review for an app. I’m only doing this because this app was so amazing that I became a subscriber. Everything on this app was so easy to use and the placement of everything was so easy to find and was easily customizable. It was the perfect app. Then the updates happened…Man I have never seen such a massive regression in an app. The ap
33. [R179] 1/5 · CA 2025 update: Ever since Jan 1, 2025 it takes so long to load and tries to get me to engage in streaks. If this doesn’t change I will not be renewing my subscription.
34. [R4] 1/5 · GB Not so motivational: Open the app from a partial quote in a notification. Presented with 3 pop ups to get through before I can see the quote. Only really motivates me to delete the app.
35. [R84] 2/5 · GB Adverts: Not happy with the sudden adverts
36. [R143] 1/5 · CA Too many pop ups: Every five quotes they recommend the fortune cookie and you can’t disable it!
37. [R144] 1/5 · CA Annoying: Every 5th quote it tells me about a new fortune cookie widget only started after I paid for it
38. [R121] 3/5 · CA Can’t block quotes: I love this app, I have a widget of it. But I get a lot of quotes that trigger me and I dislike and report them but it keeps it on the widget and in the app.
39. [R154] 3/5 · CA Anti-men?: Deleting this because I keep getting motivational phrases that are chauvinistic against men? I don’t really find that uplifting, seems to just spread more negativity to me. Other than that no issues.
40. [R31] 3/5 · GB Expensive: Very expensive
41. [R34] 2/5 · GB Collection/bookmarking has a bug: I’ve lost all my collection 😔 and my collections were continuously duplicated
42. [R14] 3/5 · GB It used to be 5 stars!: I’ve had this app for a while and love it ! Unfortunately the recent change to picking topics for motivation has become so complicated now. Please make it simpler again 🙏🏻
43. [R74] 3/5 · GB *name*: What’s with the “click click” sound? WHY? it’s crap - take it away. I like to read motivational quotes in silence and not have an annoying click click whilst I’m contemplating what’s being read. Who the hell in your organisation thought that was a good idea? Find them and sack them!
44. [R79] 1/5 · GB Good till it wasn’t avoid paid versions: Used to absolutely love this app so much that I got the paid version. Since then I’ve had nothing but issues with limited backgrounds that won’t load, free features on my account instead of the ones I PAID for & overall a poor experience. I had to start using my own photos & now is putting a watermark on it all even on my own personal quotes. This is incred
45. [R131] 1/5 · CA If your looking for a free app don’t bother: Wasted 15 minutes answering a bunch of questions, to get to the end and they tell me I get 3 free days and then have to pay.
46. [R137] 1/5 · CA Skip that app: No free version. Spend 10 minutes setting up and answering questions to bump into a paywall at the very end. Waste of time.
