Peptalk: Daily Self Motivation Reviews

by Mvpfg

With this new update there isn’t a use for me on Peptalk . I used to recommend Peptalk to my friends and colleagues, but now with the limitations of only being able to listen to 3 recordings or 15 minutes worth of content, I’d be better off going to a competitor. Personally, I was ok listening to the ads in between recordings, but I feel as if y’all got greedy... you offer limited content now to free users. It’s not fun using Peptalk anymore, and it makes it especially difficult to share with others, if I purchased the elite portion, how can I expect my friends and colleagues to do the same? Should I want to share content with them. Unfortunately it’s a huge culture shift from before and I’m sure I’m not alone in saying you’re losing your audience.

I really enjoy listening to this app, but I do not use it enough to justify paying a subscription. It used to be like Pandora, iHeartRadio etc where you listen to a couple peptalks and then listen to an ad. I never had a problem with that, I get it, you gotta eat. After I started listening to Peptalk again after giving it a break for a few months I come to find that now you can only listen to 15 minutes a day for free. Again, I’m good with that. After about a week I find that now I have to actually subscribe in order to listen to anything. I love the content, please bring back the ads so I can continue using Peptalk.

I love Peptalk, but I feel like it seriously gets no developmental attention. I used to be a raving fan about Peptalk. I have some of the same opinions as a lot of the people who have also reviewed. One extremely disappointing fact I came to find out, was that my list of liked audios has a cap. Meaning I have a lot of audios I have “liked” yet the list of audios cuts off, so I cannot even go back and see everything I’d like to listen to. Looking through all of the reviews and developers responses, some go back an entire year and still no changes have taken place. Again I really do love Peptalk. I’ll happily edit and update this review, as long as some of the reviews here get some attention. Otherwise I see no point in continuing to pay if feedback continues to go ignored.

…there are so few women featured in your videos as compared to men that I wish I hadn’t made the purchase. I paid for an entire year and never would have done that had I known it was going to be so testosterone heavy. I like the men you choose but I’m sick of having one female do a tiny cameo hear and there while your app is clearly centered around the male gender. It’s frustrating! It is 2024, for goodness sake, so don’t you dare say there aren’t enough women available to feature. Come on now, guys (I’m assuming y’all are guys), you can do better. As soon as I stop feeling like the ‘lesser’ sex after watching one of your vids, I’ll update my rating. Please, do better.

I love Peptalk it is easy access to all sorts of different genera’s of motivational audios! I like that it has different playlists for different moods or vibes that you need that day!

The only complaint I have is it’s so expensive. I love Peptalk but for people who can’t spend that much, but really need this motivational app, it should have cheaper month to month options. Everything else is awesome and I love what y’all have done with this! The messages that y’all are sharing with people it’s beautiful and we need more positivity in this world so thank you!

Listened to the content and loved Peptalk all the way up until I purchased the yearly subscription. The content I unlocked is golden and i love all the motivation content is in one space. However, after purchasing, Peptalk randomly doesn’t want to play when you close the screen. Frequency pauses when playing with the screen on and off. Along with the alarm clock that only played 2 seconds of the speech you select. Triple checked to make sure my sound was on and the silence was off. Definitely wouldn’t mind staying subscribed but these problems need to be resolved before any further investments are made.

I am editing my original review because my criticism of Peptalk not having ANY content from women is clearly not accurate... after spending some time searching, I was able to find a few podcasts and such featuring women like the well-known self-help guru Brene Brown, among others... BUT- I still feel like there is a significant imbalance, with what I see on the “home” screen of Peptalk primarily featuring men contributors... Nonetheless, I appreciate that Peptalk could certainly be motivational for many people out there, and the content offered all around is worthwhile. I still say that, for me, Peptalk could feature MORE inspiration for women in particular..

App was decent until the most recent update. IMHO the old app had a much better look, this new white/pink layout looks pretty weak and not very ‘pep-ish’. But more importantly, as others have mentioned, this new update is just randomly missing important features that the old app had...one of the things I really looked forward to each morning, in addition to this app audio, was the daily motivational quotes (usually overlaying great pictures of the people who said them) that showed up as Peptalk was loading. You were able to choose other things like custom motivational texts instead as well. I’m really not sure what the point of this update was, but don’t see myself staying long at all if this is the way Peptalk ’s going to be.
—————————————————
Update: The developers were kind enough to respond. Glad to see that they’re working on improving Peptalk and bringing back the old features but revamped. Excited to see what’s to come.

by Frenchietimes

I can’t say enough about Peptalk… love the daily videos and all the features that come with it. It has transformed my morning routine.

I don’t love that I’ll get a notification about a specific video as a banner, it then shows up as a badge on the icon… but when I open Peptalk to find that video nothing is featured or highlighted… I can’t find the video… and when I go back to my notifications on my Lock Screen it isn’t there. If they could fix that part … Peptalk would literally be perfect.

by Corinne2665

Peptalk is great for motivation or advice! There is just one thing I want to suggest. I wish there was a way for you to see what audios you have completed. Before, they would turn darker or have a check mark or SOMETHING to let you know, I do remember! Also, as someone else has mentioned, I really miss the old theme. The new theme just seems so void of life and boring, totally different from the old one. If these two things got changed Peptalk would be perfect! I can’t think of anything else it needs honesty 😄

I started off with just hoping to get more of the same short videos that I usually see on TikTok but quickly realized this is a game changer in motivation and information to better my self! I started off thinking no need to sign up for pay subscriptions just do the free but it was so great and wanted more and the small fee per month was the best investment I did in a long time! Get longer videos perfect for my morning runs and so many helpful videos to help give me the tools I need to reach my maximum potential!! Just love it!! Listen every day and free moment!! Can’t get enough!!

I don’t listen to many audio books, I browse podcasts but I always prefer written books. Podcasts are amazing but overwhelming because there are so many good ones and they are LONG. I only have 2 ears and 24 hours in a day.
I love this app because it’s short, intentional and powerful messages from renowned motivational figures. It has truly changed my mornings and my mindset. I haven’t listened to a podcast since (that is for motivational purposes) because this is my go to. I also love how you can enter how long your daily commute is and it was customize the length of the messages. I use the free version and there is a pro with benefits listed. Get Peptalk! You won’t regret it!!!

Actually , definitely like changing! Peptalk has lifted me and encouraged me on my worst days and my best. It gives me hope that I can make change and we are all so much more than what we have settled on as lives.
If you still have some flash of a dream or long dismissed goal or know what it feels like to look around and know that we are better and deserve better, that You are more than what you allow others to see. Reignite you flame of passion with this app !

by 4The Realist

Absolutely awesome! I decided to pull up a title called, “Force Yourself To Get It Done!”, because I am trying to prepare myself for an upcoming court appearance.
Everything that comes up in the “talk” is just the way I need it said to me. I definitely need all the encouragement I can retain and implement it my daily routine. I even decided to write some notes on how much of the “PEP” personally pertained to my situation. I didn’t want it to end! However, afterwards I felt extremely empowered and had a newfound sense of determination that I plan on continuing my journey off with! “This trial will be my greatest moment of growth!”
What will I bring into the day to challenge adversity?
Love Peptalk! 💕💯💁🏽‍♀️

This is like having a super real and positive best friend in your ear whenever you want. We get bombarded with so much negativity at times, this is like a breath of fresh air.
I do love the commuting function where you can set your time and just listen.
I would love to hear more female speakers in the commuter mix. There are several popular female speakers in Peptalk . I just haven't found a way for them to play by default without having to search for them specifically. It's most likely because I haven't figured that out in Peptalk yet.

I’m in a transitioning phase in my life and career it is a journey that I’m forced to make alone and that’s alright but the pressure got heavy cause there aren’t to many whom think like me not to many that can speak life into my tired sore cold broken body and spirit but I found friends within the ecosphere of this community people whom tell me not only to keep going now but now in this moment try harder right now not later now it has been a blessing and when I’m financially stable I will become a lifetime member -DARRIELL LEE HAYES

this app has positively changed my life over the past three years since I’ve made it a part of my daily routine. If you’re ever feeling down, going through a challenge, want some advice to improve your mindset, or just interested in adding some new skills to your repertoire, then listening is always time well invested. I listened for free for the first six months, but finally went for the Elite Lifetime membership. Without a doubt, this app Elite has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The speakers are the best experts in their fields, and new motivating voices and teachers are added all the time. Absolutely download this app now and experience the journey yourself! -Bryan

I discovered Peptalk while searching for some motivating content to listen to. I needed something new, something that would launch my desire for growth in a new direction. WOW!!! I found speakers that I had never heard of. I found myself starting the day with a new mindset and I took that motivation and shared it with my network while building my own new path for success.
Today I listened to “The Qualities of Success” on Peptalk . It was so good I wanted to listen to it again. Thanks to your work and the free content on Peptalk I have been able to learn my worth, and discover new motivators. Now I welcome the tools, opportunities, and people to launch me into the next phase. I know this much! I’ll never be negative in my bank account again.

Being busy with work? Your home? Life?
Before I found Peptalk I would listen to music in the gym or on my way to work and sure it would do its job to get me motivated sometimes. It just so happened that an add for Peptalk came up on my Instagram feed and I figured why not give it a shot? Ever since then everytime I hit the iron or am grueling to wake up and take my drive to work I’m instead motivated to be the absolute best me I can be. I know it may sound cliche but this app really has made a difference for me, being in the military maintenance field sure does take a large chunk out of my day and will leave me drained of energy but after a good meal and some “this app” I’m ready to get after it and grind my way to be great.
It’s a good decision I promise you

by 1k_Trae

This is a awesome app it motivated me to get up and get better and now I’m becoming a D1 athlete and it’s because of Peptalk helping get up every morning and getting on a grind. But it’s not completely free the elite version is the best but you have to pay but it’s worth it. But the free version is good enough and got me through a lot. I know people who are reading this are think this is some old man lying about a app but it really is worth downloading and this is coming from a 16 year old kid who doubted himself for the longest until I found something that motivated me to be better and get better💯

by PRACE THE MIGHTY

Can we just take a small minute, and thank the creators of this app for making Peptalk one of the best apps to help many people to motivate themselves. To help you grow as a person and to become better in life. So from the bottom of my heart thank you this app for putting out this platform to help us all for a better life and all the motivation you give us. If anyone is looking for a good app or a place to go to motivate yourself either for workouts or life in general download Peptalk and I promise you won’t regret it. 🙏🏽

by Madaboutthis33

This could be a great app for kids and adolescents but considering the swearwords every other sentence, I’m sad I can’t share with my 11-year-old. I’m trying to raise a good man with a clean mouth, not a good man who is successful and strong but drops F bombs every other word. 12+? More like 17+

Appreciate you responding to my feedback. It’d be such a great resource for young athletes if the language issue could be resolved. One other piece of feedback would be the ability to adjust the volume of the music, sometimes it’s hard to hear the words.

Had an awesome experience with this app and their customer service, especially Clement. I asked about family account options, and although they couldn’t offer exactly what I wanted through Peptalk , Clement came up with a great alternative. Clement was super helpful and made the whole process easy. Their quick responses and willingness to go the extra mile really impressed me. this app not only has a fantastic product but also a top-notch customer service team. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal motivational app - period! They seemed to have fixed the few annoying bugs with the last update which made a huge difference. I love that not only can I favorite clips, but create playlists that I can download and have at my fingertips. I only wish they would create an Apple Watch app so I could listen on a long run or at the gym, as I don’t bring my phone with me. All that being said, Peptalk ROCKS!

by M☕️🪄

this app app has helped me a lot especially when you listen while working out it give you the strength you need to go on and work harder when I am feeling low or sad Peptalk really helps me I have even made some of my friends and family to download Peptalk and it is really helping them a lot some are saying it is much better than Therapy… I love Peptalk it is amazing and wonderful am so glad I have it ❤️

by Where Are The Women?

I am still trying it. I have watched a couple and I am currently listening to one. I find them electrifying and powerful. App sends me a notification every morning. Great way to start my day with motivated and feeling strong and empowered. I wish there were more females speaking as strongly as males seem to be doing. I have tried motivational books by men and they’ve gotten me in trouble. Their lives seem to be simpler and they are able to stay focused on a single goal. Our female lives include accommodating all the duties of family and children. Where are my strong girls???? How do they make it happen??? Being rich and a career is not the only way one needs to experience success in live. Feeling like a failure at home can actually take all the joy. So please add more female inspiration

by StephyCrimeK

I am a 4th year DO student who has struggled to stay positive when others doubt my ability to succeed. I stumbled onto Peptalk looking for ANYTHING to help me stay focused and remind me that I’m strong and awesome. I listen to these on my way to the hospital, when I get home late and don’t want to study, and when I’m feeling like my haters are right. Love Peptalk and very thankful. p.s. if you relate to my comment at all, watch the talk “Prove Them Wrong”

by Thebassistr

This is a great way to keep someone motivated and positive, but the narration is not compressed meaning some of the narration is louder than others. Some of the music overwhelms the narration sometimes too much. I would live to listen to this when l sleep but it doesn't have a sleep fetcher. When my alarms go off l have to it doesn’t continue to play when l turn them off. It makes it difficult to listen while riding my bike

by Giggirt

Peptalk is incredible it’s really help me through a hard time and it’s really making me want to focus more on myself and my goal I don’t even have the premium but I am seriously considering getting It Because of her motivated it makes me feel and how it makes me want to really achieve my goal more by listening to all these people inspire me and search definitely recommend Peptalk to anyone😝

by Smm05996

I love Peptalk. Its the thing that gets me up at 4:30 in the morning to work out when I’d rather sleep in. And it’s the thing that gives me the motivation to get through to the end of a long day. I’ve even started having my kids listen to it.

There are a wide variety of themes to choose from, uplifting people to hear, and podcasts to tune in to. I highly recommend. It’s been life changing for me and my family.

by Mensch0080

I listened to the free version for three years, when this app changed it to listen to for 15 a day only I was heart broken. I knew I needed Peptalk like I need my phone. Peptalk Is helping me transform my life. One day I will be the one talking on Peptalk telling my story. I really suggest Peptalk if your trying to achieve a high self. The support team is also awesome and if you listen daily you learn something new. I just purchased the lifetime membership.. thank you this app

by The(medium)roast

I’ve had to take on a lot of life changing challenges these past few years, most of it alone and so I’d open the this app app and listen to it while getting dressed in the morning, or on my drive to work. The motivational speakers are incredible and the messages have literally pulled me out the mud and shifted my mindset more times than I can count. I am so grateful for Peptalk. Thank you!!!

by Anais Acevedo

Ever since I found Peptalk, I was always dabbling with it back and forth..... Honestly just listening when I was feeling “good” ......... BUT WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT ....... I had serious WORK TO DO ON MYSELF and Peptalk (along with another app) applying meditation, prayer and journaling helped me A TON!! Helped me to be a better woman, mom, sister, daughter...... I started to take control back become a better person overall.

by Ttpets

Peptalk carries me through workouts, helps me overcome bouts of depression, spells of anxiety, pumps my daughter up before soccer matches, gets me in the right frame of mind for big presentations and so much more. This is a prescription for anyone that wants to elevate their mindset to overcome, persevere, get back on track or generally crush it. Anyone who consumes the content on Peptalk will have an added edge. Highly recommend it, I’d been a lifetime member for at least 3 years.
