  1. [R3] Motivation 3/5 · US Too much Christian content: I would enjoy this more if there was an option to filter out religious content.
  2. [R8] Motivation 5/5 · US Great / Inspiring app: Great app with inspiring and encouraging content. I have this app as a widget and it often helps shift my mood to a more optimistic state of mind even when my day may not be going so smoothly
  3. [R19] Motivation 5/5 · US 🖤✊🏿: I use this to reprogram my mind by making a lock screen widget. In which I would have to see whether I am paying attention or not.
  4. [R23] Motivation 5/5 · US The daily affirmations help keep me motivated and grateful.: Just leaving a review because the app really does help keep me positive and focused on the right things.
  5. [R9] Motivation 3/5 · US Widget better than the app: Widget is actually cool, but once I click on it and go to the app, the app itself not as great. Also gender identity not really working.
  6. [R10] Motivation 2/5 · US What: Yall ask waaaaaaaay too many question when starting off. Immediately deleted.
  7. [R12] Motivation 3/5 · US Text size: Why does the text change size when you go to download? It should stay the same size, there’s no need for it to become large all of a sudden.
  8. [R18] Motivation 1/5 · US Pretty buggy for a simple background and quote app: Still has the same bug: Sharing a quote changes the background from what was originally displayed in the app. Theme mixes cannot be saved even when you create one from the batch of themes/backgrounds they have. My favorite themes I had in the past no longer available.
  9. [R4] Motivation 1/5 · US Trash: I was super excited for this app after spending 10 minutes filling out the questionnaire, I signed up for premium only for an hour later when I get my first notification for Motivation I click on it and it opens the app and just wants me to fill out the entire questionnaire again
  10. [R15] Motivation 3/5 · US Sound doesn’t work: Recent update removes sound
  11. [R28] Motivation 1/5 · US Loss of quotes: Unfortunately, as good as this app is, it’s bad when I go to tap on a quote to like it as sometimes it advances to the next screen, therefore losing a quote that I wanted to actually There should be a way to go back and see the last quote!
  12. [R34] Motivation 1/5 · US I highly recommend you don’t get this app: I don’t know why it does this but every night at 12am (sometimes 1am) an alarm/timer goes off that I never even set. I don’t think you can even do anything about it
  13. [R1] Motivation 1/5 · US Dishonest: Do not purchase this dishonest app. The “trial” period is a lie, I tried to cancel within the three day window as advertised for the trial only to discover I was locked in for a whole year. Still trying to get my refund, no communication whatsoever.
  14. [R6] Motivation 3/5 · US Price point: If you truly want to help someone why are you charging for it? It cost $0 to be nice, there’s a quote for you.
  15. [R7] Motivation 1/5 · US Missed cancelling the subscription! Just self help nonsense: I really liked the quotes from actual people. But no matter how I tuned it I could never get rid of “you are good enough, smart enough, and dog gone it, people like” self-affirmation nonsense. I went to delete the app and discovered I had paid $35 for a year of this silly stuff. Ugh. It’s on me for forgetting about the subscription. But
  16. [R13] Motivation 1/5 · US 3 days free then you Pay: Did everything answered all questions and as soon as it pulled the screen up “we offer 3 days free” I immediately closed out the app and deleted it. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll stick to getting my “Motivation”off YouTube lol
  17. [R20] Motivation 1/5 · US Cancelled subscription: I do not recommend this app at all. I cancelled my subscription and it’s still trying to pull money from my Apple Pay. Now I can’t download free apps because of it. Very frustrating!
  18. [R26] Motivation 1/5 · US Scam: This app is a scam. After you do the free trial they will charge you $30 and you can’t download apps for a year unless you pay. Scam!!! And apple won’t help
  19. [R16] Motivation 1/5 · US Gotta pay: Nowhere did any advertisement say that you have to pay. 3 day free trial then it’s a subscription.
  20. [R24] Motivation 2/5 · US Sneaky: App is well made, but finds ways to try and take your money. When I want to change my background, the first time there were options to change it to for free but now there are none. This app is trying to take your money, but it has good quotes.
