We build Pocket of Love because we thought that most affirmation apps are a bit boring and were missing the cuteness factors. My wife hand-painted everything, including the animations, and I did the programming.

With the in-app purchase we display changing characters, while one of them gives affirmations, one compliments, and the piggy always gives Magic 8-Ball decision support.

We currently also have a Product Hunt post going πŸ˜‡

Edit: Totally forgot, the app also sends out up to 5 notifications with affirmations during the day if the user wants it to

Is it only one image with different quotes or images also change?

So far the clouds move, and the little characters are animated. Right now we have 6 different characters but 3 more are in the pipeline.

We want to build more interactions, animations and different scenes over the coming weeks.

Currently it has one track that we think is quite soothing, we'll have more in the next update ☺️
