Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 629 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers appreciate the initial quiz and the potential for the program to help them achieve their goals. Some found the sign-up process easy and the presentation clear, without unnecessary information. Reviewers also noted that the lessons become more personalized and helpful over time. However, some people were dissatisfied with the app, describing it as complicated and time-consuming. Many customers expressed frustration with the high price and the number of additional offers and upsells during the sign-up process, which they found annoying and distracting. There are significant concerns regarding unexpected or unclear recurring payments, with some reviewers reporting charges for subscriptions they did not intend to continue or for services they had not agreed to. Several people also mentioned difficulty in managing subscriptions and a lack of clear communication about ongoing charges.

I am impressed by the quality and depth of your personal quiz, and the breadth of your questions. I have education and work experience as a licensed social worker in mental health areas with multiple ages and issues at play. Right now, I do need a kick to get out of my own way, and a guide to more effective organization...as well as a push to treat myself better and improve my self-confidence, and improved timely focus on necessary tasks. One note: I found the descriptions and process of selecting areas of focus to be slightly confusing, and left me unsure about that work.

Liked initial quiz and hopefully will get the results I am seeking but not thrilled about all the add ons as some seemed repetitive mirroring what the brain way app already promised

The upselling

The upselling was completely unnecessary and predatory, and I know I’m not getting a deal on the base subscription. It would always be $20. Tell me I’m wrong.

It would be nice if they just made the app to do what they claim it will do without trying to sell you 15 extra things! I wanted to back out before I got all the way through signing up. 🤬

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
Absolutely the worst app I’ve ever dealt with!
Bombarded with extras from the start and when you try to cancel and get a refund they dispute all relevant customer protection processes.
Cut & paste replies from at least 5 different ‘No Customer Support’ people. It’s no wonder they can afford to pay all those staff with the money they keep!

The test was easy to follow although a…test, buying options a pain

The test was easy to follow although a couple of times I felt my option wasn’t there, ie just laziness or don’t want to do it. Then having several options thrown at me to buy after I’d bought the first , made me angry.
