Great Central Learning Environment
Honestly this is such a useful place if you're in multiple programs! I'm in Pilot Institute for the part 107 made easy course and am also enrolled in the REPP Coaching Program with Dave. Going back and fourth between both endeavors is beyond seamless simply by pressing 2 buttons! The user interface is also nice too! Definitely download this to make your life easier. Hope this helps. :)
Impossible to cancel
Impossible to cancel a membership to a circle. They hide the payment options. Don’t even bother
Just getting started
This has made this process much easier.
No drafts saved
I like the app, but if you accidentally leave your novel of a post you’ve written, it’s gone forever. This should get fixed.
Hard to cancel subscription
Beware: it is difficult to cancel a subscription. Support is suboptimal.
Emergency help
Thank god for this community for help at your fingertips when you need it most!
Not very useful
I thought being connected to the other menopausal women of the world would help but this platform doesn’t really do that. The app is messy ,hard to navigate. Asking questions people only give generic advice that we already know. Have done several of the challenges and it’s all common sense stuff, not helpful. The app isn’t designed to connect people or build community. Seems like it’s all people suffering, asking the same questions and getting no real answers.
Great app
Really like the app. For videos and courses would love to be able to listen podcast style but everytime I hit play and close the app it stops the video.
Confusion
The order of the posts is confusing (the direct opposite of other sites) so adding info to your original post is an effort in frustration; additionally, adding info does NOT move the post to a category reflecting the interest or activity of the thread itself.
Freezing and no draft mode.
My community tends to have some LONG posts. Never fails I get deep in And the whole app freezes and have to exit/close and reopen app. Lost many a posts to one oops touch on my phone! You really NEED a draft mode!!! Fix those issues and I’ll change my rating! My commute is awesome so I deal with the short falls!
Excelente
Muy buena
Lock it in portrait mode
Update Ok, this might be limited to one video: How To Memorize Songs. I haven’t tested that video on any other device. If you view a recording and if your phone tilts and makes it go into landscape mode, the audio mutes and it won’t reset until you kill the app and restart. Sometimes the video stops completely. Sometimes the app just hangs. Since a lot of the community I’m in is for viewing instructional videos, the app is pretty worthless in its current state. I had trouble with Safari as well. The video’s just don’t play at all. It at least works in safari on my Mac. I haven’t recently tried my iPad. iPhone 16 Pro Max. iOS 26.6.
Good, not great
I enjoy this platform but it really doesn’t always fit into my lifestyle of needing to move around and drive places during my days. I often listen to calls and replays of calls while I’m on the road. It cuts out-buffers-stops altogether and is frustrating. Especially due to the level of coaching I’m getting through this app.
Need to add multiple emails
Circle is great however I run multiple businesses and have 3 different emails that have different circle communities. The mobile app needs to support different email addresses for this issue. Many of us run more than one business. Please roadmap this for an upgrade.
Glitchy iPad version
I am having a lot of problem with this app on my ipad. It tends to freeze repeatedly, and having to close ans re-open it, to make it work again. Also, in the middle of typing a response, it freezes. Also, scrolling down a long page, it tends to roll back up to the top before I reach the bottom post that I want to read. Very frustrating!
Connect
It’s nice to be able to connect with others and get ideas and thoughts on subjects we all deal with
Great Safe Community
The is a wonderful educational caring home for women to share and learn about Life and Fashion!
Incredible Hub app
This app has really helped our designer community stay connected.
App issues
The app stalls and will not let you proceed. Using iPhone 16 Pro.
Wish I could start using app
Been advised my community group migrating to this app this week & to download asap Downloading not an issue but despite trying 4 times & checking my junk folder I’m not receiving a verification code Now completely stuck with no idea how to progress
Wonderful needlepoint community!
This place has saved me many times! People who are much better stitchers than I are so willing to handout their expertise! I love it.
Impossible to cancel
Couldn't successfully cancel this membership. There's helpful information but not much different than other scams you can't get out of and eventually over pay.
So much better than the society and democracy corrupting social media platforms
Whilst the search functions, and the more casual chitchat could be improved, I really appreciate the Society investing in secure and non-democracy-destroying social media platforms, esp FB, as a means of developing and engaging professional development and networking (albeit online, which should never replace face-to-face networking supports).
Can’t compete with other social media apps
It doesn’t work like a dedicated app, everything has to load before it can work if you’re off-line it will not display anything and the interaction with many of the functions on your mobile device is very poor. The android experience is especially bad. If they had an app which saved some data on your phone, I think the experience would be better and smoother as you go in and out of reception but this needs a lot of work. It cannot compete with any of the experiences I’ve had on literally any other social media platform. I think Circle is a great idea, but it’s sorely underserved by a poor Mobile experience I also have to say, I am utterly astonished that there are so many positive reviews for this app. I think if you’re doing very basic posting and replying that it could be OK but any other functionality seems to be very clunky indeed
Needing more info
Myself and others have asked questions relating to the pine detox and have not had questions answered. It’s frustrating because I/we need clarification on supplements that the POP protocol pdf is not clear on…at least not perfectly clear to me
Great
This is so great, I came.
App goes dark
When watching a video in the Circle app, if I pause video & navigate to another app or answer a phone call and navigate back to the video the video is dark and will no longer play and I have to completely close down the app and it loses my spot in the video. It would also be nice if the app would remember between PC and mobile device where you were at in the video (same login) instead of having to start all over with the video. First time I have ever used this app and overall, I am not impressed at all.
Trying it out tomorrow
Trying the app out tomorrow on a course, will be able to properly rate it then.
Can’t login
Web app works fine, but this iOS app only allowe you to login using an email code which never arrives
Not practiced
I have not put circle into my daily routine although I will and hope after some time I get use to how it is all set up so that my navigation does not leave me ignorant of important understandings on how to actually use circle to the greatest benefit . Less is always what I like and make me happier to have a less amount in the set up on the left scroll I find to many places to pop in and out of and would prefer a different more clearly useful set up .
Great information
lots of information I learned a lot, reading these articles and look forward to reading more
Not working
I went to use it and sent for a link number but still can’t get on. It stays on link page and says no communities available.
Having our our community
Trying to love circle but it comes with some bugs and issues: - Messages when sent to other member on sender side doubles sometimes which is confusing - Limited features for admins via app. Actually none, you panel and features are same as regular member. - Newly signed members having issues with filling their profiles (gets stuck, shows loading and gets stuck there) Overall nice app, when it doesn’t get stuck
Latest updates bugs
Hi temporary low review because the latest update has brought bugs for me I can’t see the latest post in feeds, spaces or messages, it jumps around to years or months ago, I can’t type messages and click in then to edit a typo etc, and it switches up the screen when trying to use. I’ve tried a few simple soltitions but this started since updating. Please take a look, thanks!
Too many notifications
I haven’t had the need, until now, to reach out for technical support. The app isn’t user friendly. I haven’t found a way to send my issue to technical support other than in a forum. This opens it up to anyone in the forum to give feedback on an issue. I would prefer to email the technical support team and get a direct response from them. Also the app isn’t user has too many notifications. I had to block around 90%of them so that my phone wouldn’t be ringing every minute or 2.
Amazing
Pretty amazing the ability to share enormous files instantly. A little glitch on the app but the desktop platform is perfect.
Bad notification logic
Few issues. When you receive a string of push notifications about the same conversation and you tap one of them, only that tapped notification is removed and not the whole group. This is not expected behaviour. For instance, on WhatsApp or iMessage chats if you tap one of the notifications and open the thread, the whole previous group of push notifications are removed. Which makes sense, as you’ve now seen the content. The second issue relates to how the app shows that thread. It opens to the chosen message, but below all of those messages will be previously seen messages which were often sent days before.
Get it working!
New version doesn’t work
I pads
Frustratingly inconsistent when used on an I pad. Sometimes works, sometimes certain areas just don’t open, or get stuck when they are open. Works a little better on the phone but still not great.
Not terrible user friendly
Finding it difficult to navigate, and extremely frustrating writing a post. Can’t see what I’m writing, and very awkward trying to get back to my draft post to edit.
Best Community attached to an app on my phone hands down
This was a blessing I knew I couldn’t pass when it came and I’m so happy I didn’t let it pass me by . Amazing education material with steps to follow plus the community can’t beat it.
Update mid-Jan 2026 has issues
the latest update traps all threads in the narrow left-hand column, making them very hard to read, leaving the wide right-hand column blank. Previous version of app was fine. I’m forced to abandon the app and use the website to read any threads properly.
Great app
Best thing ever! So professional, inspirational and healing Material 🙏 sat nam xx
Very buggy!
Posting from your phone is a nightmare. Don’t even think about adding a link as the screen freezes and you have to refresh and start again to continue using it. Back end latency issues? As a community app it needs to be simple to post and respond. If not, I cannot use it.
Glitchy
The app does not run smoothly. They’re some glitches that occur from time to time when using the app
The best and most helpful growth work I have ever found.
As it turns out knowledge alone cannot save you. Knowledge in and of itself cannot transform your life or give you the skills to create the life and legacy that satisfies the soul. Understanding biochemical chemistry of bonding and attachment is good and important, but the experience of changing my old patterns I within a community that supports it is the family mirroring I never had. And I’m just getting started. You can, too!
Complaint Regarding Lack of Transparency in Conversation Privacy
I am deeply concerned that the app has made pre-Host conversations publicly accessible without clearly indicating that such communications would be visible to others. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and undermines user trust. Users must be explicitly informed whenever their interactions may be shared publicly, and appropriate privacy safeguards should be in place to protect user data and confidentiality.
Circle is a Good application
I am satisfied with this circle application (: Good
No longer compatible with iPhone 6S
I had a few problems with the app before (if I wrote a long comment, the ‘Send’ button would disappear), but now I cannot read comments at all until I upgrade to the latest version, which requires a higher iOS than my phone can run. So I am cut off from that particular professional community until I get a new phone.
Glitchy and sticky
It is glitchy and sticky on my iphone. The notifications stay on even if I read the messages. Sometimes it does not load up at all. Sometimes people never see my messages for a long time snd miss them entirely.
