When I first bought the app, although I had read the directions, I have to admit that I was having challenges with the recording and playback features, particularly the wake-up alarm. Instead of dismissing the app, I reached out to app support and within 20 minutes I had received a response. The support person (who was kind, friendly, and understanding), provided me with clear instructions that walked me through the trouble I was having, which, as I came to see, was due to my own misunderstanding about and expectations of the app’s purpose and its technological functioning. But now that I get it, I am using it with much success! I love hearing my affirmations while going to sleep and as I wake up. I do think there’s room for some minor improvements vis-à-vis functionality and user-friendliness - which I sent in an email to the app support folks. And I would lovingly offer to those who are concerned about the 30-second time limit that affirmations are meant to be succinct statements of those things we want to experience. But yes it would be nice if someone can create an app where we can do longer recordings (like prayers, poems, ACIM, etc.) and play them back.
