Ratings and reviews

Good info and really happy with the ways it can be used to spur communication in a relationship, but the app has some issues. The UI font doesn't shrink/wrap/display properly for longer cards, the swipe to view is often sluggish or mis-reads the touch, and favorites doesn't make sense at all and are difficult to use. This is a great resource hampered by a half-done app design.

A great idea, but much of it is unusable because the text on the cards is cut off on the bottom. I believe it needs to be updated for the latest Android version. When I first started the app on my Android phone, the phone warned me that it was built for an older version of the operating system and that it might not work properly. I'm running Android 10 on a new Samsung Galaxy S10+

Really, a lovely app. I'm a cards kind of person. I find them helpful for distilling the things I know I ought to do into a small & handy little interface. I like that this app offers convo starters. It also has a deck w great little phrases that I've ended up memorizing, like ways to indicate you're listening or good questions to help you learn more. It's hard sometimes to remember the right thing to say. I find this app useful for that. I use in it all my relationships, depending on the deck.
