I am - Daily Affirmations Reviews

I’ve tried several mood tracking apps over the years. I feel like they help in the beginning to identify what is happening, but over time it just felt like a regular reminder that I was down and at a certain point that stops being helpful. I’m not severely depressed - just another person struggling with the roller coaster of life over the last few years. We own a stressful business, separated from my wife, then later found out I had cancer. Therapy helps a bunch, but when my therapist took a break for maternity leave I was on my own and needed some help.

I decided to try Iam instead of another mood tracker, and I am so glad I did. I can customize the categories of affirmations I receive and how often they pop up. I can’t begin to describe how helpful it is to have some positive words show up on my Apple Watch just when I needed it. If I had one suggestion for the developers it would be to create a category specific to cancer patients. Most of the messages are great, but having incurable cancer means my health is literally failing so messages that remind me that I should be grateful for my health are not negative, but also not necessarily helpful. Otherwise this a great app. Very easy to set up and I hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me so far…

My cousin asked for my phone one day, and as I handed it to her, I said, “Don’t set no GPS up on there...I know how nosy you are”. I was teasing, but an applicable truth. See, I am going thru depression right now. Facing some long standing truths in an effort to save my children from my own childhood trauma. It’s a struggle worth seeing thru the storms, but sometimes I get super discouraged. My cousin, knowing how weak I feel and how my circumstances effect my outcome, is ACTUALLY nosy...AND LOVING and CARES, so she would very much GPS my phone, coming from that space. But about an hour after she had my phone, I got a very appropriate and reassuring message from “I am” and I just stared at it for a while. It brought me to tears once I realized how it got there. I’m managing my struggle right now. Iam has given me certain constant reminders and reinforcements, that I may isolate from in the physical sense. I appreciate my cousin for downloading Iam. I need it and she cares enough to make sure, I got it. Even in her own struggles, she can’t always be there for me, but she made sure she did what she could...and to know I mattered, really does matter to me. So “Thank you” to “I am” for being a positive piece to my process.

At first when I added Iam I felt cheesy and like these words wouldn’t make that big of a difference. I was so wrong. Only two weeks after having Iam send me notifications and stay as a widget on my front screen I started believing the affirmations. I would be thinking something so negative and damaging every day and these affirmations keep fighting my negative thoughts and helping me break the cycle. The more I got interrupted with a positive thought, the more I questioned why I believed such horrible negative “truths” about myself and others and became more compassionate and loving to myself and those around me. I notice and am receptive to more positive things in life and as a result more positive things happen to me. Iam is worth every penny. It is the reason I am less depressed and my brain is slowly shifting cognitively to be more positive...because why not? Why don’t we believe that we are worthy and beautiful and that life is beautiful? You can only enjoy life if you choose to enjoy what is in front of you and be thankful. I am so thankful for Iam and for the creators. This is beautifully done and very effective. ❤️

I love Iam!!! I forgot how I came across this, but I am grateful that I did because it has been such as positive blessing in my life. It’s helping me in boosting my self-confidence, self- love, self- esteem, and helping me forgive myself and enjoy my life more. It truly is life changing and to get multiple positive message and affirmations on my phone really means a lot me to💜! Iam is great for a lot of things reassurance, growth, and positivity, those three things for sure are the key elements shown in Iam. I definitely recommend this to everyone because it is so positive and it helps with self-happiness and acceptance and I love that. Using Iam has been such a wonderful treat on my mental and emotional health and wellness and I’m truly thankful for it. Whomever created and developed Iam had positively pure and true intentions to myself themselves and others enjoy their positivity and grow within themselves. I actually give Iam 10 stars 😂😂, but seriously using Iam is so beneficial in a lot a ways I hope Iam can be a blessing to you the way it is for me!!!!
ENJOY 😊😊😊!!!

As a clinician that assist in the overcoming of trauma and various other mental health hurdles, I highly recommend Iam. The fact that it helps myself and my clients isn’t what I want you to look at for this review. I want you to take this challenge! Download Iam , set aside 5mins, and focus on your breathing. When you are nice and ready, start the practice affirmations (little play button on the bottom) and I want you to go through each one and own it; like for 5mins I want you to act as if every I am statement every positive affirmation came from you that part that wants to be whole and free. I mean I am not promising you that you will grow abs or win a million dollars. And if you don’t feel grounded and positive, then delete Iam and be on your way. I mean it’s simply just taking time to show up for yourself. Iam just makes it more convenient. So alright go ahead, take the challenge, and maybe just maybe you will be better for it.

I think it’s amazing that there’s an app that can send you positive affirmations daily or however many times a day you desire. For my own use, I have Iam send me one reminder daily at 9am, so I can use that affirmation throughout the day (focus of the day). The only issue I have is, say, if I open Iam directly from my phone without clicking the notification with my daily affirmation, it displays a different affirmation altogether. So then instead of seeing the same one that I was notified about, I’ll see a new one. Perhaps I’m not navigating Iam correctly, but when I flip up and down on the affirmations, I don’t see the one that I was notified with. I try to be intentional about clicking on Iam aka avoiding it and just focusing on the alert notification, however, sometimes I forget, and then it’s kind of a bummer.

On another positive note, I do really appreciate the wording of the affirmations being written in a positive context rather than a negative one.

I’ve only had Iam for a day but I really enjoy it! I struggle with thinking negative, mood swings, and being irritable on a daily basis. I know that affirmations can be powerful tools to help this but I never really have time to listen to them in the morning (I’m a CNA and work 12 hour shifts in a busy urban hospital, so I like to get every last wink of sleep possible). I like Iam because every time I open my phone there’s a positive and motivating affirmation to read quickly. I use the widgets on my Home Screen and I don’t even have to open Iam ! Plus they provide many different themes for free so it looks cute on my Home Screen. I elected the option so the affirmations change 8-10 times a day, so I’m not reading the same things over and over again. I hoping that seeing and reading these affirmations multiple times a day will help me be in a more positive mindset!

Downloaded Iam to check it out and loved it. Paid for premium within like 5 minutes of getting it. Use it every day and it has made a huge positive impact on my life. Downloaded and paid for premium on each person in my house’s device as well.

Then they started advertising in app. My problem, advertisements for other apps by this company have started popping into my feed. 1. This is something that you usually pay for the premium version to escape ads. 2. The very premise of Iam and of affirmations is that what you see, and read (and then possibly say) effects you. Having ads for the developer’s other apps in the middle of an affirmation practice is wrong.

I’ll be watching to see if this sticks around. I preferred this affirmations app for its clean and simple style both in looks and in use and the quality of its content. I’ve been using it several times a day and recommending to everyone. If updates remove the ads, I’ll keep it. If not, I’ll find another program and replace it on our devices.

Iam really helps me feel better about myself and about my anxiety. It’s very hard to deal with so much stress with only you telling yourself that everything‘s gonna be okay in the moment, so reading it from an app and hearing it in different ways you may not have thought of really helps. I love how Iam sends you notifications because throughout the day I may not even realize that I am stressed, but reading one of the notifications makes me feel so much better. Give Iam a try if you’re having a hard time with stress or being anxious or even if you would just like positive reminders throughout the day. Thanks for making Iam!! They also have another app for quotes and a lot of them are very positive and uplifting too and the facts app always makes me laugh because they’re super funny fact sometimes. Once again thank you!

I don’t usually write reviews for apps, but this one is totally necessary! At first I thought it would be slightly annoying getting the notifications, you can choose how many you get daily and I thought that was a great way to get the manageable. You can really choose your mood and how you’re feeling so you can get affirmations that suit you the best. They really speak in the moment and are uplifting and encouraging, yes sometimes they are not relevant but most of the time they are spot on. As a devout Christian, I do wish that they had some scripture in there but I know that most of these affirmations I get in these moments are just a God thing that he’s got everything in control. If you’re on the fence about downloading, I totally recommend, it’s really inspiring and uplifting to everyone in every person‘s different situation. 10/10 recommend!

I had an old friend introduce this to me when I was struggling with yet another break up. I’ve had it well over a year. And it’s not always on my mind, to be honest. It sends me about 10 notifications a day. Sometimes it can be annoying, and I can change the settings. But sometimes I really am just having a bad day or a bad few months or just need some encouragement. They have so many different types of affirmations and different styles and backgrounds. I can’t tell you how many times some of these have been made to be my wallpaper. No matter what is happening in my life, Iam makes me feel better or supports my already hyped up energy. I try to love myself always, and Iam just backs me up. It’s almost better than a best friend 😂 never has anything bad to say and is always there for me throughout the day.

I love Iam, it’s been very very encouraging and helpful since the day I downloaded it. I love being able to set certain timeframes for different alerts & also that I can make a mix of all the things I prefer to see! But my one piece of advice and personal suggestion would be to have some more information on all the different definitions and some how givethe true purpose of Iam .. cause I only seem to like it for the “affirmations” & I quote “inspiring quotes” or “motives” .... but I don’t have a full understanding of what I’m doing on Iam . This is all new to me. But I’m trying to be more positive and believe in my self more , like have more self confidence. Which I do feel Iam fulfills... but I feel like I need a better understanding of the entire thing as a whole, to be able to get the internal concept of using Iam.

Usually with these types of apps I download them in hope that I can change myself for the better, but I eventually delete them. Iam here is different, at first I would just say the affirmations but not believe them. Slowly as the days pass I noticed that my mindset started to change and that I believe what I am saying. I walk with such confidence knowing that I am beautiful, and that no matter what I always have to have myself first. I think what I like the most is that I can have it as a widget so whenever I’m on my Home Screen I can read them real quick and I am constantly changing my mindset and now the person I see in my mirror is a different but in a good way. She is radiating. I highly suggest Iam and when you get it add it as a widget so you can read your affirmations readily available. Thank you creators!

Let me preface by saying I never write reviews, or if I have, I’ve already forgotten about those apps. Iam deserves one.

I’ve had anxiety like symptoms for a while and only recently have I been seeing a therapist, which helps somewhat but it’s hard to remind yourself to change your way of thinking when the anxious feelings hit in the moment.

Iam has helped me so much. I set my number of reminders to 10 so I do get affirmations often which some may find annoying (but it’s a setting that can be changed). Quite a few times however, they’ve popped up right when I get triggered and help calm me down. Honestly would 10/10 recommend this to anyone with anxiety who needs help with more positive affirmations. I even told my therapist about it so she can share this!

I enjoy receiving the affirmations throughout the day. The only suggestion I would have is that the wording of some of the affirmations are negative in nature and can be improved ... such as “Anxiety will not beat me” (forgive me if that’s not the exact phrase, but you get the point) could be reworded more powerful such as “I am victorious over anxiety”. Early on in my journey with anxiety, I was told to use all positive words whenever possible and avoid using “not” “don’t” etc ... because your brain really processes the negative words so much faster than it does the positive words - it will have already processed “anxiety beat me” before the brain can put together that what you really want processed is “victory over anxiety”. Hope that makes sense!! Most of the affirmations in Iam (I am using the free version) are good. Whenever I get one of those more negative-bent ones, I cringe a little.

Each notification is timed perfectly- when I need it! In 2006 I got the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Since reading it and watching the movie I practice positive thinking and all it includes. I have a long list of I Am mantras that I say everyday all day, not to mention prayers and poems. After a number of things happening to me and my business during 2020 it was more of a challenge to stay upbeat. I relied on each tiny piece of positivity and some days it’s was truly hard to find. Someone mentioned I AM app on Tiktok and I am forever grateful. It definitely helps to bring your focus back to where it should be. Like my guardian angel dings the bell at the perfect time. I have it set for 15 times a day and it’s perfect for me. I also set up the widget. Fingers crossed I can buy the 1 year subscription soon 🧘🏼‍♀️😌

Iam is wonderful for frequent affirmations. My only issue with Iam is the fact that they don’t save the affirmations they send to your notification. If you get a notification of an affirmation and press on it, it’ll take you to affirmation in Iam , but if you save or double tap to heart the image the wrong way it’ll swipe (quite easily so this happens OFTEN) to the next affirmation and if you try to swipe back to the awesome affirmation you were just on and wanted to save, it’ll be long gone and forgotten. I hadn’t realized how aggravating/inconvenient this is at first but it gets old very quickly. Please for the love of affirmations, fix this. I’m very close to looking into another affirmations app because this is just that irritating. You’ve been warned.

This inexpensive app has been a pleasant surprise. I thought I would use and see what was there, but my expectations weren’t high. As it turns out, I was very impressed.
Iam lets you select a topic that you want help with (e.g.: motivation, personal growth, body image, relationships, etc.) and then allows you to choose to receive multiple one or two sentence support messages between the hours that you designate (e.g.: I would like to receive three messages per hour between 10am and 6pm). You can save “favorites” and easily text or email a message you like to a friend or family member.
The messages ARE very uplifting and cover a range of emotions related to the subject you select. All in all, it is a terrific app and I find myself looking forward to my next message.

I really love Iam! It is perfect for what it is, sometimes you really need to hear affirmations! The phrasing is great, the affirmations are encouraging and helpful, and my favorite part is that you can control how many reminders you get and what time frame you receive them. This isn’t an app you have to open everyday but it makes a difference every single one. I look forward to the affirmations it sends me and it has helped me to build my self confidence. Very quickly becoming one of my favorites! Iam isn’t annoying with reminders like others can be and you don’t have to pay for the good features it has, which makes it so much better. Really appreciate apps like these that help people feel better about themselves!

I really love Iam! It reminds me to take time for myself everyday. With each message that pops up, I am reminded to think about the good parts of myself. I am too often caught up in old tapes , hearing I am not good enough, not pretty enough, worthless, and at my core, unloveable.

I Am, gives me a minute to breathe, and interrupt those negative thought patterns; to remember that I am valuable, I am whole just as I am, and I am worthy of love and belonging. What could be more important than remembering that we are all beautiful, worthy, valuable, and born with purpose?

Download Iam, use it consistently everyday for 90 days, and you will notice a change in your perspective and a transformation of who you think you are. ♥️

Thank you for this list of positive adjective that come onto the screen. I went through all of those listed and checked off the ones that certainly are not me! So when it comes up on my screen, I can be more objective instead of defensive when I don’t feel good about myself that particular day. Again, thanks for the frequency the individual words appear, I remember that at one time recently I had felt that way and I can again!

Currently the affirmations are displayed via swipe in the order which they’re listed, which makes them pretty predictable. Please randomize them!

Also, add the option to start affirmation with just “I” rather than “I am”. Expect a bit more customization for a paid app. Maybe the ability to create collections of affirmations. Also the ability to edit already created affirmations rather than just deletion.

I never write reviews because it’s a hassle to sign in to do it but I was compelled to do it this time. I love how simple it is to navigate and I love that you can add your own background and your own affirmations. Very happy with this and highly recommend.

I love Iam so much. One of my favorite features is being able to schedule notifications. They always pop up at just the right time with a message I needed to see at that moment.

I love Iam and tell others about it all the time. I’m a big believer in the power of words and what follows “I am” becomes your reality. Thanks for helping others to reinforce the right ones for a better life and future! Keep up the great work!

I love that I can pick how many times a day I am sent these. Can customize how it looks and sounds. And that’s the free version! When I can I am going to get the paid version, I have a good feeling it will be worth it.

Iam helps me stay motivated and focus it seems that the notification would come right on time when I am feeling down or lost. It really helps if you are fighting depression.

I love receiving the the positive notifications. Some days, they pick me up and put things in perspective. Other days they verify the everything. Keeps me from being too negative on myself.

I just purchased Iam thinking I could select the affirmations that fits my need and unfortunately I couldn’t ! It’s giving you a bunch of affirmation that sincerely are not what I was hopping for. Disappointed.

I love having positive affirmations come at you when you least expect him it brightens the day so much and gives you a more positive outlook on everything!!! Thank you so much I am

I used to love Iam, but since they added the font selection it looks a lot uglier. I much preferred the original simple helvetica design - why not have that as an option? I use Iam much less now because I don’t like any of the font/color options (and I’m a designer myself).

I find Iam very helpful. I have introduced many clients to Iam as well. The ability to step into a quality and ‘know’ it as an intention perhaps even before I know it in myself is a great tool.

I really like it a lot!it helps you get ally when your sad and just reading/hearing compliments just makes me happy and I hope other people down load Iam and love it

Iam is a brilliant idea. And yes it works. It’s like having someone say positive things about you throughout the day. Worth every penny and you can create your own positive words as well.

I love Iam and find it very helpful but the daily reminder settings are not working properly. Whenever I set the reminder repeat limit the reminds work for about a day or two before it stops working completely. I have to keep going back into Iam to refresh the reminder which I’ve ended up giving up on.
