TOBEE mindfulness coach

While not being sure if this would work in the long run, the idea itself is very nice. However, the app isn't suitable for phones, this should be made for smartwatches and it should send the messages as discreet notifications. Currently, the app turns on the screen and splashes that message for everyone to see no matter what you're doing, navigating, watchig a video, running, listening to something. It's very distracting and after some time, annoying.

I like this app but I wish there was an option to randomize or auto-change the affirmations. It's very annoying seeing the same affirmation every time and for someone with depression or with a busy schedule, changing manually ends up being forgotten. Also, I very much like the pop up notification. It's very helpful to someone with depression who allows their regular notifications to stack up. I like that it's in my face like it's grabbing my head, looking me in the eye and saying, "You matter."

Please add more gender options. I felt alienated as soon as I opened the app, which is sort of the opposite of the point. Good app, more customization please! Here for the design and the repetition of a single affirmation, would be nice to have the option to have it cycle through favourites too. I like pop-up reminders, and I would love to have a notification bar option as well. Customizable reminder times would be great.

the idea is excellent and has a lot of potential. personally, I would love it if in addition to selecting the affirmations you'd like to have pop up, it rotated and recycled the affirmations that you've selected. I'm a bit confused as you why it allows you to select more than one if you have to manually select the one that's going to pop up each time.(initially I was under the impression that it would shuffle my 6)

This is a very helpful app so far!! Highly recommend! 2 things I would like the developers to consider. 1) Allow the reminder time to be customizable...I wish I could set the reminder as low as 15 minutes in the morning when my mind races the most, and then decrease the reminder to every 30 minutes later in the day 2) Have an affirmation 'playlist' of sorts, to change throughout the day, so you can focus on more than one affirmation in a 12 hour period without manually changing it Thanks!!!

This could be a great app. The fact that the notification is not customizable makes it a nuisance, though. I'd much rather the app follow Android design guidelines rather than use a pop up window that wakes the device. Place the notification as a pop up in the notification bar, as every other Android app does, or at least provide the option for using the pop up window if necessary. I don't want this app to take priority over whatever else I am doing with my phone at the time. That's bad UX.

I love this app. When I installed it I didn't realize how simple it was. There's no actual meditation or anything.. you just set the times you're awake, pick an affirmation that you want to focus on & a popup sound. Then throughout the day you have that affirmation pop up on your phone's screen on top of everything as a little reminder to focus on that thought. It will be a great way to reprogram your mind over time. It's so cute and uplifting, I love it. Love the simplicity too. Thank you.

I really like the app in concept, but there are a few feature that I feel are missing. I would like some notification customization, the ability to remove the vibrate, and make the notification a more standard format if desired. I would also like to see the ability to shuffle reassurances, or change which ones appear at which times.

I actually like TOBEE very much and it is pretty much the only reminder app that is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and cute however, I would really love if they gave the option for different reminders to appear daily, you only get one. I mean, I'm not saying for there to be like seven different reminders daily but at least two or three. It gives me a kind of monotone feeling to have the same one over and over again.

Not only does this not chime when i set it for (once an hour for 12 hours), when it randomly does, theres no notification, maybe itll appear once in a blue moon. And some sounds that arent so jarring would make it better, right now I have the bird chirp (switched from a truly awful bell-tolling sound) and even that is very startling, not to mention annoying after the first week. Good idea, poor execution.

It's a great app, simplified phrases that allows me to recollect my values, learn how to appreciate things once again on daily basis. And I like the gentle shades of green tones, soft alerts that aren't annoying. What I don't apppreciate is the same phrase keeps popping up on every alerts, it does not alternate, and 3 hours is the max to pick from, quite rigid.

I love this app. Gentle reminders popping up at intervals set by me. With soft music. Some ppl have complain that it pops up at main screen instead of notification bar. But I like the fact that it pops up on main screen. I've dozen other similar apps, which just disappear in notification bar. Toobee makes me feel good. Thank you for making this app.

I uninstalled it. I gave TOBEE 5 stars because it does what it says it will (read the FULL description). Although you can select several among 30+ preset affirmations and even add your own, you should select only ONE because after you set your desired frequency, you get encouraging popups containing the text of ONLY ONE of the affirmations. The affirmations don't shuffle; so, every popup is the same...every hour...all day...every day. If the designers add a shuffle feature, I will reinstall it.

I wanted to love this app, but the weakest part of it is the most important part (the affirmation reminder notifications). It's a beautiful and thoughtful app, besides the notification settings being minimally changeable. It will always notify you with a vibration (even on silent) and a full screen pop-up that also wakes the screen. After a week and a half set at the recommended 5x daily reminders, it became an annoyance and even stressful, defeating its psychological purpose for me!

I really like the cute and simple concept as well as an idea behind this app but there are still few things that needs to be changed. This app does not alternate phrases, so I don't get why you can choose multiple things when it shows the same one every day (I do understand that you can change it, but doing that isn't something I want to do every day). I think it would be better if random non-repetitive phrases showed up; if the developers added that, I'd give this app 5 stars.

The concept of this app is great, however a lack of timely updates is showing. I like the ability to select (from a vreat collection) positive afirmations, & set the timeframe they will show. However, as another reviewer points out, these messages do not follow the current API-a locked screen during DoNotDistrurb may be interrupted with a message. They arent "gathered" with ther messages & notifications, & interrupt other actions. I hope to try this app again-AFTER UPDATING.

Definitely a very unique and surprisingly pleasant app. Very simple and very nice. This really needs the cycle feature to display all selected favorites even randomly. I intended to use it with custom affirmations alongside another quit smoking app which would have been great together with custom written affirmations but it only shows the same one over and over. I understand the intended benefit but please add the option so the user may choose. Many thanks and keep up the good work!

A simple and simply helpful little app. At first it might see too basic to make a difference, but I think this is a great small step if you're looking to improve your life without a big time commitment. Every time your affirmation pops up on your screen, you have to look at it no matter what, and honestly, sometimes I just quickly dismiss it, but I STILL think it helps me out, even if subconsciously. It is better, however, if you sit with it for awhile. Give it a try!

Really neat little app. I like how simple and easy it is to use. It makes affirmations easy to incorporate throughout your day. I enjoy the notification customization. I am now at the point where just hearing the little flute brings up my mood before I even read the affirmation! Only critique I have is that I wish I could set the active hours earlier than 8 am without also having them be late at night.

You don't need to have an issue to use this app. It seems small, but there is actual science behind affirmations, mindfulness, and repeating something over and over and over. Repeating positive things rewires your brain to KEEP thinking them, and overtime replaces unhealthy thoughts. I wanted an app that helped me do that, and to remind me no matter where I am or what I'm doing, what the real focus is: To grow and become better for me, and my loved ones. This is that app. Thank you!

I love that I can create my own affirmations. However, I just discovered that if my phone is on vibrate, the sound for this still goes off. As far as I could see in settings, there is no way to have this match the setting your phone is on. There is only the option to have it be silent during phone calls or during use of airplane mode. This needs to have a feature where if your phone is silent, this notification pops up, but is silent. If your phone is on vibrate, then the notification vibrate.

I especially like how I can write my own positive affirmations. I can make them specific to what I need. I look forward to an update that includes the option to select more than one affirmation, and the app selects from the list randomly, also the ability to pre-schedule sets of affirmations for the coming week. Then I can schedule the right affirmations for whatever challenges I know I'll be facing during the week. Thank you!

I would give 5 stars, but I took the two stars off because it goes silent only in airplane mode -- it buzzes in class or at work, and I can't put my phone in airplane mode every time. But has helped me affirm change in myself! I'm looking for a replacement app, but I prefer this to be updated with the extra option!

I really enjoy the app!! It's lovely!! And it's really nice to be reminded of the things I can accomplish and receive compliments for them. The app setup 10/10 and the affirmations are 10/10, the only thing that I'd like for the app is for it to automatically cycle through the affirmations I picked with each reminder instead of having one affirmation repeated.

Edit: Ive had Tobee for quite a while now and for some reason the notification timing is off now? Instead of dinging every hour, it will ding 1x at 9:15 instead of 9, and then it won't ding again for hours. Sometimes it doesn't ding at all, and my settings are the same as before. The popup with the affirmation stopped showing up as well. I've tried resetting Tobee and my phone but nothing worked. Will post OG review if this gets fixed.

Awesome app! Very easy to use and impactful. Wish you could have multiple affirmations running at the same time. Would like to be able to customize the time and frequency 1 ir 2 hour time blocks. Sometimes the time is off by 6 minutes, either before or after the hour.

I'm a little confused by this app. I love the idea and the affirmations that they have, but I'm not sure the point of this app really. It makes the notification sound every hour, but there's no actual notification. Is this just going to prompt me to open the app every hour? That seems more like a nuisance then actual help, I would much rather every hour an affirmation come up on my phone automatically.

I really like the app so far except for the fact that you can't turn off the vibrate! It is extremely abrasive. I also agree with another user here that the option to have rotating affirmations would be an improvement. Otherwise, I think the app is clean and pretty. I enjoy using it.
