Affirmations! app review: giving you that boost

Introduction

Finding motivation, positive thoughts, and even energy can be hard to do in today's busy lives. Often we end up getting caught up in our day-to-day stress and worries and let it get us down. The Affirmations! app provides you with a way to stop and give yourself that pick-me-up whenever you need it. The end result is a positive spin on life and its paths.

A Full Year of Positives

The Affirmations! app provides you with 365 affirmations, each of which is positive. The way in which you are supposed to use these affirmations is to read them and then reflect upon them during your day. What's crazy is that even though these are random affirmations they often can relate to issues/feelings you may be going through.

These affirmations can help you gain a better understanding of yourself, build your self-confidence, and help you think and see things more clearly. When all of these things start to fall in place that's when you can suddenly start to excel in other aspects of your life such as your career, financial position, and even your personal relationships.

Positive affirmations are something that sounds so simple and yet it’s amazing just how powerful they can be. Read your daily affirmation once or keep reading it throughout the day to remind yourself of the positive message it conveys.

 

More Than Positive Words

This app is more than just a positive affirmation to enjoy each and every day. There are some features/tools offered to enhance the experience. You can share these affirmations through SMS, by email, and on Facebook. For those affirmations that really hit the spot you can save them to your favorites so you can go back and read them anytime you like.

Launch the app and you are instantly given today’s affirmation. You can change the color of the background but you can’t skip forward to the next affirmation. As far as reading additional affirmations goes, you can press the back button to see the previous ones you may have missed.

The user interface is painfully basic; it could definitely do with an infusion of life. I like that you can share these affirmations in a number of different ways but that’s not enough, it still needs more.

The app is supported by ads which can get in the way a bit but you learn to look past them.
