User reviews
Damn. First of all, if you're considering this app, don't think it's a cheesy concept, it's legit in that humans are problem solvers, we're lazy and our brains want to make things easier, so when we spend time trying to think of 3 positive things, our brains figure out that it would be easier next time if we activel...
I am LOVING this app so far. I'm only on day 5, but hopefully I maintain the same level of engagement. But the push notification for reminders only chimes once I've opened the app which is kinda useless, but otherwise I am definitely enjoying it.
Simple, effective way to focus on the little things that add up to a bigger change of mindset. Easy on the eye and simple to use.
Powerful meaningful start to your day
I find it very useful to make me stop and think about my day. It's simple but it works well
Great way to focus on positivity & helps this spread throughout your life very quickly. Changes your view of the world as helps to break old habits & patters of thinking
