Frankly I found the app thoughtful and helpful. I signed up for the 7 day free trial, but I uninstalled it after one day because I enjoyed it so much, I didn’t want to miss it when it ended. I’m unfortunately not in a financial position to pay a monthly fee right now, which is the only reason I cancelled. I downloaded it because I have really bad social anxiety and I’m not articulate verbally; I was hoping it could help me build the confidence to make friends and network in my career. In the short time I used it, it did feel like I could make strides to do so! It’s a very informative app and I like the structure of everything. Absolutely nothing wrong with it other than a personal financial issue on my end!

You get what you put into this app. It's very useful for tracking your progress, but you have to fine-tune it to get what you need out of it. For example, on Daily 60 you get things significantly for not sticking to a certain structure. No, I don't need to stick to STAR to tell my friend about my daily routine. I shouldn't have to specify that in the question. Similarly, the Echo assistant doesn't give you enough time to respond to questions that obviously warrant giving the user time before "Asking are you still there?" in that condescending tone. However, asking it to give you more time will help. That said, the lessons are extremely useful as is the scoring criteria and breakdown. However, the way subscriptions are handled is deceptive, and their customer service is lacking. In-app, a the way the subscriptions are described is ambiguous leaning toward implying you will be put on a monthly subscription bu talking about the subs in terms of months. There is in fact a monthly subscription, and I was happy to pay for that. However, I awoke to a receipt for the annual subscription, which puts me in a difficult spot. I contacted their customer support immediately, but didn't get a confirmation receipt or anything. You would think that with such an AI-forward app they would at least send you a confirmation email, but apparently paying users aren't even warranted that.

I tried Speeko before using this app. I found Speeko to be really good at giving feedback but the drills on that app are not targeted to making you an effective speaker…they can make you a clean speaker but not “effective”. IMO effectiveness really comes down to articulation and it takes a lot of real world intentional practice and experience. Very hard to achieve that through an app. Well spoken gets you a step closer and covers some aspects of training articulation through its drills. I think the structure and forms explained in that app, if practiced consistently, can get you closer to becoming that person who “wings it” in their presentation and yet nails it every time.

The app seemed to have been created with the genuine mission to serve the user. Every step you feel cared for and supported in this development journey. This is crucial because this might be a time when you are extra critical of yourself. I truly feel comfortable practicing and I get the feeling of low stakes. I’m sure, as time goes on, I’m going to be excited to push myself out of my comfort zone. Maybe move away from low stake practice… This app seemed to have been created with your progress in mind every step of the way. I hope you exceed your expectations for yourself while using this app. Good luck!!
