Ratings and reviews

My boyfriend and I are loving this! we've had it for 2(?) months now and personally one of my favorite features is the lil drawing pad. I'm an artist so I've been putting it to the test, LOL. You can imagine how happy I was when the update to it came thru, too! I'm sure if someone was dedicated enough they could make some REALLY detailed art, but I do messily detailed stuff haha. I'd love to see a way to customize the kinds of questions that come thru to your specific interests/boundaries!

It's enjoyable and has potential, but bugs have soured the experience at times. For example, one day after creating 5 countdowns, I open the app and they're all gone. I haven't bothered to add them again. There's also an annoying bug where you can't scroll up to view previous text in a conversation. And now for some reason, I can't create voice responses. They were working previously and app permissions are set. 🤷

Started playing with my boyfriend for the free version. Couldn't get enough so decided to spring for the hefty $12.99 month subscription until we can reunite (we're long distance). The past 24 hours, the app has not been accessible and has crashed before even opening. Very disappointing and wish I hadn't paid for this app. When its working, its SO FUN. But be warned, I definitely will not be subscribing another month. update: the team was able to solve the issues and get the service back.
