The app is well-designed and easy to navigate.

ThinkUp
Best for Affirmations
Why it Made the List
ThinkUp is based on the idea that listening to affirmations spoken in your own voice, results in a more lasting impact on your mindset. I’ve only ever read and spoken affirmations, either out loud to myself or just in my head up to this point. For someone who doesn’t like the sound of their voice, I had to get over the cringe factor to test it. In truth, I was pleasantly surprised.
There’s a well-stocked library of pre-written affirmations, and once recorded, the affirmations can be played over the top of a soundtrack. Alternatively, source and record any affirmation you like.
Amongst various enhanced options, upgrading to premium will allow you to record unlimited affirmations, import your own background music, play affirmations along with music from other apps, and set an affirmation alarm.
Pros
- Simple and easy to use
- Listening to affirmations spoken in your own voice is surprisingly effective
- A comprehensive library of affirmations to choose from and then speak yourself
- Good customization and control options
- Monthly and yearly subscription options available
Cons
- If you don’t like the sound of your own voice, this probably isn’t the app for you
