## Review summary

Users broadly praise Perspective for its simple, intuitive UI, pleasing design, and built-in mindfulness features like prompts and mood tracking.

- Uncertain ongoing development: long gaps in updates and concerns the app could be discontinued again.
- History or data can be lost during outages or if the app is temporarily unavailable.
