I don’t know why reviews don’t just start with “it is $70” Duolingo for being manipulative, basically. How am I to “force” a “genuine” smile?

Here’s the advice in a nutshell: smile, act happy, don’t think bad things, don’t criticize people or be negative in front of them, say appreciative things.

It’s the vibe-coded app version of Dale Carnegie’s book. Has formatting issues. Typos.

I also would argue some of the advice given is genuinely poor and dated. The barista Chloe does not want you to address her by name because you read her nametag. Only “ownership” class people think that way. Hourly service workers generally find it invasive when customers speak with intense familiarity immediately. This is crackpot stuff designed to trick lonely or dysfunctional people into losing $70.

I also really enjoyed all the reminders in the lessons that other people don’t care about you, don’t want to hear what you have to say, don’t care if they hurt you and you couldn’t even try to tell them because others will not listen as they are inherently selfish.

The advice is geared towards middle management types trying to get ahead in careers where promotion is based on social engineering. It’s not going to teach you how to build up real friends or relationships, just how to have dinner with other vacuous soul-suckers in the never ending pursuit of money. Don’t believe me? Just wait till you get to the lesson about the CEO and his million dollar check! 🤮

The “ai” aspect lets you write completely insane responses and accepts them as valid. It accepted “what is your favorite oat to grow” as an ice breaking question.

I tried the app, but was immediately hit with a paywall that you could not get past. Killed the app and was able to see 2 lessons but was then hit with the same absurd paywall. Had to kill the app again at which point I gave up for the day. Really poor user experience and super disappointing.

i thought the app was completely free but it’s not, still looks interesting so i tried the free trial of a week or 2 weeks i don’t remember, the thing is, i didn’t even get to try the app because i was very busy during that week. i forgot to cancel my membership so i asked for a refund thru apple support. they couldn’t give me a refund so i sent an email to the Gleam customer service. haven’t got a reply for a week. i really need my refund, because it’s the membership for a year which is like $70… and im not gonna use it so it’s a waste of money. if there’s someone else i can contact let me know.
