Thanks for sharing your app.

- The onboarding experience was quite unintuitive for me. It involved swiping right to continue; swipe was only detected in a few areas of the screen (like the text inputs). It was extremely frustrating to figure out where to swipe on the "Choose My Look" screen. I suggest adding buttons so swipe isn't needed.

- There is a "ContentView" text overlapping my system title bar.

- "Unlock" didn't seem to unlock anything (lifetime free premium membership).

- At first, the AI responded with JSON.

- Overall, the app just looks/feels "unfinished."

As for the app itself, I guess I'm not the target audience. The dialogue just made me cringe because it sounded inauthentic and too flowery. It didn't help that the enhanced Zoe voice still sounds robotic. (I just used the default settings and didn't try adjusting anything.)

I think the conversation would feel more authentic if it didn't start out as if you already had a deep relationship. Like it started out with introductions and getting to know each other.

First of all a big thank you for checking it out.

    Thank you. I guess as a creature of habit I had not noticed this.

    WOW, that looks a mess, and has never looked like that on my iPhone 14 pro, simulator or iPad pro. If you can I would really appreciate

    If you got the "You're all set, John" message you will not hit the daily limit of 10 messages that non-members have.

    Thank, yes it responds in mysterious ways sometimes, I've added checks for three or four different ways that I've encountered, but they keep coming. Will add this specific type to the list. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for this, it was really helpful, even though I can't reproduce it.

    I totally get that given your experience.
I should have mentioned I have an iPhone SE (2nd gen).

I never got a "You're all set, John" message. Just the JSON reply as seen in the screenshot.
