ReThink - Stops Cyberbullying for Android
Just watch Shark Tank and found out the app was free.. Yayy, good work ur gonna go so far in life, keep up the great work.
Auto correct turns go into Tim and hey into Jeff. It probably messes up with other things too. It has no haptic feedback nor hold backspace to delete an entire word.
Rethink is the dumbest app idea ever produced... with any app like this your information is going to be viewed so say goodbye to privacy. oh I guess I should have rethinked this before i posted but I didn't... bullies will be bullies until they learn the hard way - this won't fix anything, it is just an app to collect texting data - there is no such thing as an app the doesn't collect and retain digital data.
It's a great initiative.... Just loved it But I actually have a problem it won't recognize the Harsha words, is there any possible way in which you might be able to help me out
That was supposed to say autocorrect makes the keyboard unusable". The keyboard changes common words that it should know already.
I hate it. You have to use their keyboard, And their predictive text gets everything wrong.
One words sums it up : horrible. Don't download this. She had a perfect moment to make something useful with the power of shark tank, but failed
In five minutes I was able to send "no one likes you," "everyone hates ryan," "I wish you were dead," and "you should have been aborted." As someone with programming experience, this is pretty pathetic.
A beautiful girl, with a smart mind. Who made a great app to stop cyberbullying. Even though it changes the keyboard. Its not how I thought it would be. But It's a nice start. Keep it up. Congrats.
The minute I saw you, I knew you would be successful. Great job, and I have faith that you will put an end to this horrible act. Good job.
Stop cyber-bullying. great app and anyone who does not have anything nice to say don't say or post it because ur are being a cyber-bully
This app catches nun of my mastakes it only catches the F word so I think this app is a isalt to life it's self this is just a pain in the neck
Saw you in TV today Trisha. Its a wonderful effort by you as a 16 Tray Old. Good luck in this venture
It's nice for kids behavior and it's a great app thankyou Trisha
Just watched the show on YouTube, this sounds amazing and you got another supporter. Keep up the great work
Gay is not a bad word.
This is a really cool app that allows you a second chance at something that would hurt you and the person your texting. I think we should all encourage this wonderful oppertunity that Trisha has given us and not put down her effort in helping end cyber -bulliying. And it may not have all the quirks electronically that would make it super good quality, but it is the effort that counts. Great job Trisha!
THIS APP IS AMAZING!!! I am using the keyboard right now. The autocorrect is a little weird, and the board will take some getting used to. Trisha Prabhu is my idol, the coding is just amazing. I am writing an article about her for school, so I downloaded it to see what it was like... SO AMAZING. I recommend this to EVERYONE.
I tested the app by sending "kill yourself" to a friend and it didnt pick up the phrase. The app also is aesthetically unappealing. In addition, the autocorrect is horrible and changes words that are spelled correctly. This app seems like something middle schoolers learn to make in scratch. Not effective and not good.
I like the idea but there are still some problems with the app. For starters, it's a completely separate keyboard so it doesn't have swype, which I have to have swype. Secondly, it said that even though it doesn't read passwords it does read credit card numbers which doesn't make me feel very secure. Last, when I saw it on Shark Tank the example used was the word "ugly" which it didn't even give me a message on when I typed it.
Saw this on Sharktank. I liked The idea, but I thought I could type in certain words specific to my husband when we are arguing. Its The only way we can speak our minds with our 2 year old. Could be a new marketing approach if some tweaks are made. Keyboard must include swipe.
2 Suggestions. Customizable themes with swipe abilities. Parental controls, with pins or passwords, with screen shots sent to parents phone via Text. When a child sends an inappropriate message. Auto correct is wrong, and changes simple words into words that aren't even close
I sent my sister a offensive text on purpuse and it didn't give me the option to stop it. The auto correct is annoying and incredibly wrong. IT TOOK ME FOREVER JUST TO WRITE THIS REVIEW BECAUSE OF THE OLD STYLE FLIP PHONE KEYBOARD IT HAS!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Great app! I just saw the creator on Shark Tank. Trisha is a bright and beautiful young girl who created a nice app. I was skeptical too, at first, but it legitimately makes me rethink my typing decisions. The only problem so far is that the autocorrect is kind of hard to get used to, and can be very inaccurate. Other than that, this is solid.
I do think there should be another version for teens that consistantly offend others. Also for the light version, i think each Time it is triggerd, it should explqin the affects this has on others, maybe if its triggered enough times, the send anyway button disappears, qnd offers other ways to express yourself without hurting anyone. I saw you on shark tank, if this app hels one person its a. Success. But hopefully it will help billions understand the power and affects a text can have.
This is a very simple and badily made app. You can insult by just avoiding the trigger words which are very limited. The app is triggered by non insulting words,letters and by deleting which makes typing a hassle. The keyboard is uncomfortable. Even after all of the money and 15 min of fame this "child prodigy" could not fix the most obvious bugs. I can't believe Marc Cuban invested in this app. This girl deserves an award for her deception not "inginuity".
I saw you on shark tank too. Great job! This is a terrific app to help stop today's pandemic of bullying. You never know helping stop the Cyber Bullying may even help with every day bullying people may actually think before they speak. In your sense"ReThink." Great Job and much luck!
I like the concept, but the autocorrect on the keyboard is rediculous. I can't permanently get rid of it, because you can only get it to go away until you use it again, and the autocorrect is back. I'm tired of my friends' names popping up when I type in words, or at least try to.
Doesn't stop anything harmful I have tested. Only stops completly clean sentences. Weird but true. Also cyberbullying is not a issue because if you get burthurt over what someone says on the internet then you have no place on the internet. In summary make a app that works, can't believe you scammed a shark
Needs more testing ... This app is a great idea for teenagers to stop cyberbullying that might lead to tragedies with young lives. However, it is very buggy app on android. It works partly with whatsapp but not SMS. Needs a professional programer to fix the bugs and make it easier to use. Uninstalling for now. But a good try from a teenage programmer
I am so grateful for this app. I inlet daughter knows better but sometimes she needs that tap on the shoulder. It's almost like my voice in her head when I'm not able to be there to guide her decions.
This is an amazing start to a very real problem. It may not stop bullying single handedly as some of the negative ratings seem to expect it to. But I see the big picture here and want to thank the devs for taking a big step towards a better kinder world. This generation is trying so hard to make huge leaps towards acceptance and understanding. Things like this can give those who are afraid to stand the support they need to send the right message to their bullies. That it's just not ok to say hurtful things.
I saw this on Shark Tank and loved the idea which is why I gave it a 3 star rating. As a parent to a teen in a technology age Something that could honestly help with cyber bullying is not just making them rethink but honestly having it block hurtful messages from coming in. If it scans the message and detects hateful words then those messages auto block on the device. So no matter how many times they rethink it and send it; the true victim never sees the messages.
The problem you mentioned on Shark tank about a true cyber bully just ignoring the message could be remedied if you logged and sent that message to their parents or guardian, thus creating accountability for the action. Just a thought
This doesn't find offensive phrases, it just runs off of keywords. I wasn't even allowed to offend myself by say "dang it, I'm an idiot." This concept of censorship is so pathetic. K1ll y0urs3lf "d3vs"
This Is not a true rating. Saw you On shark tank and was moved To get app. Tried to send hate message and it stopped me. Good start. Real rating will come In a few months when I can really judge the effectiveness Of The app.
What is the point of an app that simply asks you if you're sure you want to insult someone? Ask a terrorist if they think they are a terrorist. Most likely they are not going to agree (they will think of themselves as 'freedom fighters', or some other beneficial moniker). Now ask a cyber bully if they think they are a cyber bully (stupid term, btw). Guess what answer you'll get. Stupid idea for a problem that will only get worse as these kids get older.
I don't know if this will STOP bullying but I do believe it will help to make less of it. Just got done watching her on Shark Tank by the end I was almost in tears thinking if the good it can do.
Another app for this generations "safe space." If you can't handle mean words, stay off the internet! Block numbers if you have to. This is the reason why this generation is so weak because no one teaches their kids to "get back on the horse" but instead, blame the horse.

Giving away your security passwords locations bank details..just everything. You switch your phones keyboard by giving permission to the app to use its own. Everything we type may be saved stored or recorded. Stay away from such traps.
