Spot the Cue

Spot the Cue helps you get better at reading people — tone, facial expressions, body language, and the things left unsaid — through short, friendly practice you can do in a few minutes a day. Most social "rules" are never explained out loud. Spot the Cue turns them into bite-size reads: you see a real moment, choose how you'd read it, and get a clear explanation of why — so the pattern sticks. Cues are rarely black-and-white, so thoughtful reads earn credit too, not just "perfect" ones. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants to feel steadier in conversations — including autistic people, people who find social situations draining or confusing, anyone navigating a new job, school, or country, and teens building confidence (there's a dedicated Teen mode). HOW IT WORKS • Quick daily practice that adapts to you — it leans into what you find hardest and brings tricky moments back at the right time. • Realistic photos and video of expressions and body language, plus text scenarios for tone and subtext. • Every answer comes with the "why" — the heart of the app. • Seven skill areas: tone & wording, facial & body cues, subtext & indirectness, group dynamics, conflict & repair, out-loud practice, and pressure & deception. WHAT'S INSIDE • Reading Eyes & Faces tests — name the feeling from just the eyes, then see the whole face. • Practice out loud — rehearse what you'd actually say, at your own pace (no microphone required). • Learning paths — focused journeys like spotting a soft "no," sarcasm, masked feelings, and reading a room. • Social stories — calm, step-by-step walkthroughs for real situations (airports, appointments, first days). • A searchable glossary of common cues and what they usually mean. BUILT TO BE KIND Spot the Cue is made for real people, not high scores. Turn scoring off for no-stakes practice, hide XP and streaks if they stress you out, and switch on Calm feedback so nothing ever feels like a red "wrong." Every image and video has a written description, and the app works with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking — nothing leaves your phone, and it works fully offline. FREE TO START Level 1 of every skill — plus the Reading Eyes & Faces test — is free, forever. One simple purchase unlocks everything else (Levels 2–6, all out-loud practice, learning paths, and stories) for good. No subscription. Spot the Cue isn't about scripts or "fixing" anyone. It's practice — patient, private, and at your pace — for reading the room a little more easily.
