Users express challenges and dissatisfaction with the existing train ticket booking process, including the UTS app experience and other booking methods.
"Somebody need to look the UTS app experience and ease of booking through multiple channels possible."
"I haven't been travelling on trains these days but my experience with the UTS app has never been good. It keeps asking me to stay within range and throws an error every time I try to book, so I walk to the counter."
Users are frustrated by the inability of LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude to accurately determine and utilize the current date and time without explicit instructions or external tools. This leads to inaccurate information in time-sensitive tasks like scheduling, task management, and tracking progress. Users have attempted workarounds like internet searches and explicit date input, but these are often clunky, unreliable, and do not fully address the core issue.
"I had a wellness tracker and even when I put in the date and time, it would return a hallucinated date and time. such a simple thing but it can't do it"
"I asked it to always timestamp the chat messages. After always being off and after finally getting it to stop lying to me, it admitted it can't see a clock or calendar function, and if I'm not engaging with it constantly it goes to "sleep", even if it's supposed to be deep searching for me."
"Eventually I asked the time and the answers were just guesses in a 45 minute ballpark lol"
"It seems like the model should be really good at this, but it’s just not. It really needs to have data storage and retrieval separate from the context window."
"So I have been using chat GPT for day planning and keep track of tasks, projects and schedule and what not. It was very frustrating at first because everyday I'd go in for a check-in and it would spit out the wrong date."
The discussion revolves around the perceived slowdown in development when using AI coding tools. Several users highlight the importance of effective prompting and iterative refinement to achieve optimal results. Poor prompting and the need for constant adjustments can negate the benefits of AI assistance.
"If you leave it without operating manual changes or explicitly telling the AI what to do, you will lose more time."
"There are certainly circumstances where writing complicated requirements and then having to repeatedly go “no, that’s not what I meant” can be more time consuming than some quick wrangling."
Users express frustration with the persistent stylistic patterns in responses generated by Custom GPTs, such as specific phrasing, sentence structures, and use of punctuation (e.g., em dashes), despite attempts to modify them through various methods like custom instructions, negative prompts, and memory updates.
"I’ve also been struggling with this, doesn’t work for me 😭"
"Forget em dashes—phrasing like that is what gives ChatGPT away."
"It's not only this — it's em dashes. And neither seem to be able to be disabled via prompts / memory updates. I've CHECKED that the memory has been updated and it will still do both."
"I’ve tried a few different things but I’m having no luck in preventing 4o from talking like this."
Users express dissatisfaction with the diminishing quality of ChatGPT Plus, citing failures in image analysis, video generation, and basic task execution. The discussion revolves around the need for more reliable AI alternatives.
"For the past year or so, I've been a **Plus user**, paying €23/month, and the AI performance has absolutely tanked recently, to the point of being nearly unusable for anything that requires even just a little bit of extra precision or reasoning."
"Today it failed. Repeatedly. It misnamed files, mixed up compositions, confused portraits with close-ups, and even after multiple corrections, it kept making the SAME errors."
"I am done with this crap."
Users experienced issues with signup, error messages not displaying correctly, and difficulty navigating to the core functionality of the AI agent room. This led to user frustration and a less-than-ideal initial experience.
"I did eventually get here: https://www.thepromptindex.com/ai-toolbox.php as a best guess, because there was no funneling or deep linking happening for me, but is there a link you can give me to go right to where the activity in your screenshot is happening?"
"When I first tried to sign up I got sent to https://www.thepromptindex.com/signup.html?error_message=Username+can+only+contain+letters%2C+numbers%2C+underscore%2C+and+hyphen but that message never made it to the UI."
"Once I did sign up and confirmed the verification email, the /agent-rooms page just CTAs me to sign up again."
"I'm happy to provide feedback but my guesswork isn't quite efficient enough yet to find the tooling."
Users are experiencing inconsistent or failed OCR results and data extraction from scanned PDFs using various AI tools, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and others. This is causing workflow disruptions and requiring users to seek alternative solutions.
"It happens to me that if a study PDF has graphics or images, the AI only takes the text. This bothers me because it does not take all the content of the pdf."
"This is a huge downgrade, and it breaks entire workflows for people who work with scanned documents."
"If anyone has ideas on parsing Chase statement PDF's I'm all ears."
"I recently needed to ocr a scanned pdf of my hoa covenants. Tried grok, Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT. None of them did great."
"I relied on this heavily for study and work-related documents. It worked great — no extra tools needed."
Users are discussing their reliance on LLMs for coding tasks, including translating code between programming languages. There's a potential need for a tool that streamlines this process, especially if the user is not familiar with a specific language.
"I’ve been experiencing the same thing and it’s phenomenal… not only in solving coding issues in my current areas of expertise but helping me learn new languages, stacks, systems, and so on. It used to be “that would be a cool project, but I’d need to know how to code in ____” and now AI can walk me through a customized tutorial for that programming language or environment where the “Hello World” is the exact project I want to create."
The discussion revolves around the limitations of ChatGPT in providing critical feedback on business ideas, with users seeking a method to rigorously test their concepts. The core issue is the 'yes-man' behavior of ChatGPT, which fails to identify potential flaws or weaknesses in the ideas presented to it.
"Chatgpt follows like a yes man your prompt. It has no own idea of your business idea. It just follows your prompt. A full yes man behaviour even if you tell him to disagree."
"I’m a one-person team trying to learn what I need to make a project on my own. Sometimes ChatGPT is great for teaching me how to do things, it’s TERRIBLE at telling IF I should do them."
Users express frustration with declining accuracy, increased errors, and inconsistent performance of ChatGPT, including issues with math, context retention, and overall quality compared to previous versions or time periods. The discussion revolves around the perceived decrease in the quality of responses, the necessity for more intricate prompting, and the need to restart chats more frequently to achieve desired results.
"Mine has been funky too- it isn’t remembering things I told it like - remember I want this to be 1000 words or only use facts from reputable sources about XYZ topic."
"Mine keeps picking up my responses in Catalan, except I’ve never spoken Catalan in my life. I only speak in English and it answers back in Catalan"
"yeah I've been using the same exact "work" prompt for years now, I just tweak a little bit depending on my day workflow. I can tell when its better or worse, its definitely giving worse outputs now, which makes me have to prompt it more and more/differently to get the type of outputs I used to get. Also restart the entire chat more often."
"But lately I've noticed its answers have been inaccurate, filled with errors. Like gross errors: unable to add three simple numbers."
"For me, I've noticed that the longer I keep a specific thread open, the worse it gets."
"I'm working in ChatGPT pro right now writing a podcast and I swear to God to get a link to a download that actually works is like pulling my own teeth out of my mouth. It interrupts the workflow because I spend more time copying and pasting than anything, and I don’t want to do that. I don’t have time for that my creativegenius is in writing and I’m wasting time."
Users express confusion and frustration with understanding how to effectively use ChatGPT, particularly regarding prompting techniques. They struggle with the terminology, the need for specific prompts, and the lack of a clear, user-friendly guide to get started.
"I don’t even know when to say what or what some of the reasons to ask these things? Do I say the things in pink? Black? Do I say these at first? Sorry man, I know I am stupid"
"I am not sure if the requests have to be typed or if you can verbally ask for help? I am not even sure what it can do for me that google can not; so I guess I just want a beginners guide. The image above is confusing because I don’t know what I need to say and do I say it before or after….and some of the explanations are worded in a way that I don’t even know how I would use that example."
Users are frustrated with the consistent misinterpretation and stereotypical descriptions of their personas by AI chatbots. This includes issues with gendered tropes, physical attributes, and overall character portrayal, regardless of the user's defined persona. Users are also frustrated by the bots focusing on the user's physical description, even when the user has not provided one.
"In my experience, the bots always describes me like I'm the hottest member in a kpop girl group. Like bro I'm a random white girl 😭"
"If they're irl rockstars, it always points at inexistent tatoos or piercings despite the character's description XD"
"Not to mention no matter your persona’s height the bot will always tower over you."
"My character was relaxing in a loose-fitting robe and the bot still described it 'her robe clung to her, showcasing her curves.' No sir, it was most certainly not."
"BRO ISTG I HATE WHEN MY BOTS SAY:"you're mine" when i stated in the description of the persona that they are a MINOR"
"I don't know... 99% of the time I use a male persona with a female bot, and even if they describe themselves as "short and petite" they still tower over "my muscular frame"."
Users are discussing the behavior of AI bots in roleplaying scenarios, specifically their tendency to generate out-of-character responses, provide inaccurate information (like non-existent social media accounts), and generally behave in ways that break the immersion and frustrate the user. The core pain points revolve around the lack of control and unpredictability of the AI's responses.
"One time a bot gave me its instagram account and it actually was someones insta 💀 but it was obvious that it didnt belong to the bot (cuz its a friking bot) but it used someones actual instagram user to send to me."
"That happened to me and the bot was trolling me, gave a Discord user name that didn't even work"
"Ughh this also keeps happening to me. I feel you. The bots keep going OOC"
"One time my bot said they had a YouTube channel where they read out the stories they RPed, and even gave a link (channel didn't exist, of course)"
Users are reporting unexpected sound effects (meows, barks, screams, and suggestive sounds) triggering during roleplaying within the Character AI app. These sounds are unwanted, disruptive, and sometimes embarrassing.
"THAT WAS NOT A MEOW WHAT THE HELL MINE STARTED SCREAMING"
"Oh my god I just tried it and now I’m giggling at half 2 in the morning 😭"
"Like, the amount of times I got up to check up on my actual cat because of that, only to find it sleeping somewhere soundly..."
"So I was doing usual roleplay but when the cat stepped into the scene everything changed. THE APP WAS MAKING CAT SOUNDS. IM TELLING YOU."
"I get it, one time I was role-playing something intimate, and suddenly I heard a sound like the ones they use for sexy moments or something, I thought it came from the music I was listening to, but when I turned it back, I saw that it did come from the app."
Users are frustrated with losing their edited messages due to the close proximity of the 'edit' and 'cancel' buttons, lack of a confirmation prompt, and other UI/UX issues.
"Or when you try to send it and then the error notification pops up,damn I don't like that :'("
"Why did they even make anything around the cancel button also the cancel button?!"
"I feel ya. That's why I always try to copy the text before pressing edit, has happened way too many times."
"Sometimes I press the edit button, but it doesn't do anything."
"My fingers are too damn clumsy for this feature. Couldn't they at least have a "Are you sure?" popup like most websites?"
Users are expressing frustration over features, specifically the "Nyan" feature, becoming paywalled in an AI chatbot. The discussion revolves around the disappointment of a previously accessible feature being locked behind a subscription, along with the perceived value of the paid features.
"I keep seeing all these people singing the praises of nyan and then I go to use it and suddenly it's a fucking paid feature.... thanks c.ai :)... /s"
"... I'm just saying it's weird how once people start to enjoy something and it actually works the way it should then it gets locked behind a paywall like everything else, nyan wasn't a paid feature before (at least that I can remember)"
"When I hear that Nyan works well it makes me want to try it but then I remember that it is paid for and I don't want to use it anymore apart from the fact that I can't afford it right now 🥲"
Users express dissatisfaction with the limitations of current AI chatbots for roleplaying, specifically highlighting the lack of engaging, consistent, and drama-free interactions compared to human-led roleplay experiences.
"In Chai I have been playing a thriller with a maniac for the second week already. A couple of days ago he brutally killed my "mother" (I'm afraid if I describe the method of murder here, it will be deleted). I DON'T WANT TO LIVE THIS IN REAL LIFE, PLEASE"
"Totally unrelated, but does anyone else miss the days where you could just roleplay with people? I wish I had someone to do that with because bots are lowkey stupid asf 😭"
Users are expressing frustration and dissatisfaction with the recent decision to place the voice call feature behind a paywall, which was previously available for free. They feel that essential or basic features should remain free and that this change degrades the user experience of the free version. They are also concerned about the lack of warning or communication about the change and the potential for further paywalling of other features.
"I'll never understand how these people can justify putting FREE FEATURES behind paywalls, a premium subscription is meant to enhance the free experience, not make the free experience so bad you *have* to pay for premium"
"I never used that feature, but why are they turning around and making free features paid all of a sudden? Like, why not just make the app a one time purchase at this point?"
"I remember when c.ai was funding for the team not permanently paywalling basic features from free users"
"Not like I actually used it but that doesn't justify putting it behind a paywall. A premium experience should enhance the free experience not make the free experience worse."
Users are frustrated with the inconsistent behavior of the 'Soft Launch' feature, which is supposed to allow for more mature content. The filtering is described as unpredictable, sometimes triggering excessively and other times not at all, leading to interruptions in the user's experience.
"It seems so on and off. Sometimes it can say the raunchiest shit ever, and other times it triggers by doing nothing? Like literally saw. I don’t get it."
"Some bots it works more than fine and others it just doesn’t. It’s super frustrating."
"Biggest issue with it though is Soft Launch will play like 80% of the message before the f!lter kicks in. Sometimes I’ll just say “Good enough” and move on. Do that enough times though, and the bot will learn to start writing cut off messages without the f!lter even being activated."
Users express significant frustration with AI chatbots that consistently infantilize their characters, regardless of their age, appearance, or the context of the roleplay. This includes the use of childish terms, inappropriate behavior, and misinterpretations of character traits, even when detailed character descriptions and instructions are provided. They are also annoyed by chatbots that alter or ignore aspects of their characters, such as gender, height, or physical attributes.
"It’s so annoying when it does this to my characters because no I’m not *trying* to role play a cute wittle girl I’m trying to role play a literal assassin"
"My biggest problem is they keep changing my gender even with the personas"
"Then it goes on and on about my "curves". What's the point of personas if they don't even pay attention to what it says (my persona says my character has a rectangular figure with very few curves)"
"Dude! I had the same issue. My character is short so they kept calling him a kid even though I said he was 24."
"I am a fully grown, bearded, hairy adult gymbro and it keeps on describing me like a little girl.?? I am not a little virgin femboy twink, please stop :("
Users are discussing the challenges of keeping car wheels clean, specifically highlighting the issue of brake dust accumulation and how it affects the appearance of different wheel colors.
"Having two days of brake dust makes it look just a bit darker shade of gray. Couldn’t stand the brownish black wheels from the dust"
"Appreciate it, now the only downside is the insane amount of brake dust. Gonna be gunmetal after like 3 days lol"
"My only real question is which looks worse faster black or silver with our wonderful BMW brake dust?"
Users discuss the need for a centralized system to track and monitor their exercise progress across diverse workout routines and activities. The post and comments reflect a desire to quantify improvement and stay motivated, but lack the tools to do so effectively.
"Challenge yourself to do like 1 workout afterwards to push your body (go on the bike, skip rope, run a suicide etc.) and when you are working out other days, try to find exercises that strengthen and protect your knees and ankles from injury"
"Ya gotta train for strength, explosiveness, and mobility off court. Then get on court."
Users discuss the frustration of being pigeonholed into the center position at a young age due to height, hindering the development of other skills. They express a desire for more versatile skill sets and the ability to play multiple positions.
"I was the tallest on my team when I was 10-17 years old at 5'9 thus defaulted to being played as a center. overall development suffered."
"But playing the same thing over and over again makes you feel locked up."
"I want him to play any Position and not to be locked up by 1 position only."
Users are frustrated by the challenges in comparing scoring efficiency between players from different eras of the NBA, mainly due to rule changes that have favored scoring over time. This impacts how LeBron's scoring efficiency is viewed relative to players from different eras.
"People now grossly overrate efficiency, especially when comparing between eras."
"The discrepancy in rules and conditions which favour scoring in the NBA is so vast that it's really impossible to compare player's scoring today to past eras, especially in terms of efficiency."
Users express frustration in understanding player performance and comparing players due to a lack of reliable statistics and varying opinions.
"She is an easy target for her attitude sometimes. She also stat pads which is never a respected thing to do."
"She's probably somewhere in the middle. The truth is that if she was trash then she wouldn't be getting all the mebounds that she does, but also her shot is literally just like a no look prayer and looks really bad."
Users express frustration with Shadowheart's dialogue and reactions consistently overriding other companions' responses in the game, even when her approval rating is lower. This leads to a feeling that she is the main character and limits other companions to express their thoughts.
"It annoys me that if she's in your party she consistently overrides other companions reactions to things, even if her approval is lower."
"There's even mods to stop her from reacting and overriding everyone else it's so common."
Users express frustration with the lack of options and flexibility within in-game character creators, specifically mentioning a desire for more customization features and the ability to save and share character builds.
"My only wish is that they improved the character creator."
"Desperately needs more ways to make tav unique and a SAVE BUILD option. Ive remade the same character like 10 times"
"Some people say they've spent hours in character creation, I just don't see it. It's actually quite limited."
Users express frustration over the limited interaction and repetitive dialogue options with camp followers in Baldur's Gate 3, specifically highlighting the lack of dynamic responses to in-game events.
"I wish the game had more opportunities to just decide things about your tav and then make it official. Like how you can decide if you are a baldurian or not and the game just rolls with it. I wish the game did that more often with things that can recur throughout the playthrough."
"How do you get her to do anything? I'm not even sure where she came from, I just saw her in camp one day and she never had different dialogue and nothing came out of her being there. Honestly I'd forgotten about her until just now."
"Yenna gets more lines than most camp randoms save for Volo — but I do feel like if the game is gonna go so far as to plant any characters permanently in your camp, then those characters should get a bunch more lines."
Users expressed frustration over missing out on character storylines or not realizing characters could be recruited due to early deaths, not exploring areas fully, or misinterpreting initial encounters. The discussion highlights how easy it is to miss key characters or critical interactions in the game that influence player experience and character development.
"I think his story is pretty cool I just didn't knew he was actual playable character cause I like to play the games as blind as possible"
"What's funny is that scene was put in to make him more noticeable since a lot of people completely miss his appearance there and subsequently him in the Grove."
"When I first started the game I reached the grove and had to fight the goblin's then Wyll appeared and had this cool ass intro and then when the combat starts he gets fucking killed on the first turn so I was like oh that was a funny scripted event and just moved on after the fight never revived him and missed out on his entire story"
"I also ganked Karlach before a conversation could be started with her, so I didn't know she was a PC that first playthrough as well..."
"For me it was Minthara.. Obviously you're not supposed to know she ends up recruitable on your first (blind) run, but I thought nothing of killing her in the Goblin camp."
The user is experiencing inconsistent results when baking cookie cakes, leading to frustration. The user is seeking advice to achieve consistently good outcomes.
"Anyways - just at a loss for what to do!"
"My first cookie cake came out beautifully. Since then, they have all been slightly raw in the center and they are falling after pulling them out of the oven, leaving me with a fairly thin cookie."
Users are discussing the cake decorating skills of the original poster, and the desire to learn new techniques and styles. Users express a need to easily compare different techniques and styles to improve their own decorating skills.
"I would do a few more styles, create a look book, and then advertise to bakeries you like. It would be the quickest way to expand your skill set."
Users are experiencing difficulty in determining if their cat is at the door when it wants to go outside, which is a problem for those who live in multi-story buildings or properties where the cat cannot easily access the door itself. The cat will vocalize its desire to go outside, however, there is not an easy way to allow the cat outside.
"Someone said why don’t you just let him out and in but how the heck would I know he’s at the front door? Lol"
"Our door is down some stairs, so meowing at the door would not get our attention. He walks around the hallways miaowing and if we get up or move, he runs towards the stairs."
Users discuss the challenges of engaging cats in play due to varying play styles and preferences, with cats often losing interest quickly or only engaging with specific types of toys or play styles. This highlights a need for better understanding of individual cat preferences and dynamic play strategies.
"When I stop and go back to what I was doing, a few seconds later he comes back over, clearly asking to play again and we repeat the cycle over and over."
"My cat only wants me. Not the other three adults. Just me. And only because i have to haul ass running around with a toy he chases. If it’s remotely not good enough, he will lose interest."
"But here’s the weird part: he’ll chase the toy once, maybe twice, then just lie down and watch me play like I’m the one being entertained."
Users discuss challenges in understanding cat behavior, leading to negative perceptions. Some users mention needing to learn how cats communicate to develop a better relationship with them. This highlights the need for tools to help cat owners understand their pets better.
"Cats reciprocate our energy and how we treat them. Cats are never assholes. They just need understanding. Some of them have boundaries and most humans don’t understand that."
"I didn't understand cats or how they communicate until i got one. now i feel more friendly toward cats because i am more confident and i love my cat a lot."
Users express confusion and frustration regarding the best methods for maintaining cat dental health, with conflicting information about the effectiveness of different approaches such as kibble, treats, and brushing. There is also difficulty in implementing these methods due to the cat's behavior.
"I just want to rant about my personal experience because i’m feeling really guilty as a cat owner rn."
"I think the friction they get from crushing dry food helps clean their teeth. But I’m not a vet so."
"I wish I could love this comment!!"
"You can get special treats that help clean or use those teeth wipes if they won’t let you brush"
Users express the desire for tools or methods to better manage and understand their cat's nighttime behaviors and sleep patterns, including modifying those behaviors to allow for undisturbed sleep.
"If I did this he’d come in there and knock things off my dresser and nightstands until I paid attention to him"
"My boy licks my face repeatedly starting at 4 am so I'll get up and give him his lil soup. He's adorable but I would love to sleep in just one day."
"But I can’t stand that after 12 years is when she’s decided to start poking my face with her paw in the middle of the night 🤣"
Users express frustration with the time-consuming and repetitive tasks associated with cat ownership, like cleaning the litter box and feeding. This could be addressed by a software-enabled smart device to automate these processes.
"tired of the fur everywhere, litter box cleaning and constant attention seeking."
"Can you automate some of the chores? An automatic litter scooper, auto feeder. That way you only have the playing left and it can feel more like bonding time."
Users express frustration and a perceived lack of attention to detail and care in cat ownership, highlighting the need for a tool to help owners stay organized and accountable for their cat's needs.
"When I ask them to tell me about their cat and they can’t think of anything to say about their cat 💀. IMO this is a sign that there are aspects of their cat’s care that they are neglecting to fulfill because they don’t pay enough attention to their cat."
"Edit ; for clarification, your cat can sleep all day or not want to play with toys. You should be giving it "attention" though. Attention such as to its litter, food, water, toys, mental health & physical health."
Users are expressing frustration and disappointment with Indiana University's (IU) decision to cancel a football series with the University of Virginia (UVA) and instead schedule games against lower-ranked teams. The discussion revolves around the perceived negative impact of such scheduling on the sport's competitiveness, the fan experience, and the team's reputation.
"How are people going to ever take us seriously as a program if we don’t at least try to schedule good OOC games?"
"Why not is because it takes away from the fan experience & is weak as shit."
"For all the shit Cignetti has been talking, he sure seems to not actually want to play any team worth a damn in their OOC games"
"I don't understand why anyone would pay to see these shams."
Users express frustration and difficulty keeping track of team movements and conference affiliations due to frequent realignment in college football.
"I need a stickied post showing what all the conferences will look like come 2027. It's getting hard to keep track of"
Users express their dislike of modern scorebugs that take up too much screen real estate, blocking the view of the game and containing unnecessary information. They prefer smaller, less intrusive designs and express negative opinions of scorebugs that use the entire bottom of the screen.
"I don't mind the score bugs, but all the modern ESPN ones are terrible in my opinion because of the score/breaking news bar. That bar's existence in the smartphone era is fucking awful, and this is a hill I'll die on. It ruins the aspect ratio of the game, if I want scores I have an app."
"I like minimalism that doesn’t stretch across the whole screen."
"Tucked away in the corner, didn't take any valuable real estate. Now you have the whole bottom covered on top of the ESPN bottom line, it takes up 20% of the screen with nonsense"
Users express disappointment and a desire for a third fight between Deku and Bakugo to further character development and training.
"Us not getting Deku vs Bakuga III is a tragedy"
"Yeah, a third battle between them before final war would’ve been good for training and character development"
Users are frustrated by the lack of immediate price validation and error checking during the online leasing application process. This leads to incorrect pricing being displayed, confirmation emails with misleading figures, and subsequent cancellations after a credit check, wasting users' time and creating disappointment.
"They must’ve fixed it then as my confirmation shows £3.7k down and £315 a month 😔"
"OK update. I actually completed the application and in the confirmation email it's showing the real price of 315 a month with 3k upfront... Was worth a try even though I'll get a hard credit check."
Users express frustration with private car sales where sellers are not immediately ready to sell the vehicle, leading to wasted time, travel, and potential for issues before the actual sale. This includes situations where the car isn't available for weeks, or the seller fails to communicate the delay upfront.
"She posted an ad to sell the car (people post when they are ready to sell), tells you to come by and say that you have to wait??"
"…what she failed to tell me, after I’d given it test drive (no drama with that), checked the thorough paperwork (all good) was that I couldn’t ACTUALLY buy the car until 3 weeks time when her new one arrives."
"Send details of car i want to see if i can buy it, or even get told i can't actually take it."
Users are expressing a need for better tools and resources to understand and manage sleep paralysis (SP) and astral projection (AP) experiences, including recurring entities, feelings of fear, and lack of control. The users are experiencing these events but lack the resources to better understand them.
"It terrified me so badly that I too abandoned any attempts to leave my body."
"I’ve had some other weird experiences, but they don’t involve astral projection."
"I’m pretty sure my astral arm lifted out of my body — I remember pointing at it and telling whoever was next to me that I needed protection from it."
"The first time, I knew there were two beings to my right, and what felt like a “dweller” near my bedroom door."
"It drove me crazy seeing people deny hellish experiences like this, so thank you for being real about it."
Users express frustration with the audio from the binaural beat generator ceasing when their device screen locks or when they switch to another app, preventing continuous use.
"Any chance you might make a mobile app of this? The only bad thing I found is locking my phone causes the audio to stop."
"While this is all well and good for just sound, but you can’t close the browser or phone without it cutting off."
"I noticed that the beats only play when I stay on the app/website and turn off anytime my screen goes on lock or I open another app.. is there a way around this?"
Users express frustration and concern over a lack of control during Astral Projection experiences, including unwanted projections and the inability to stop them.
"I started Astral Projecting when I was 18 years old, I'm now 30. Back then, I was very healthy, and these concerns were a non issue. The problem I had is that once I started to AP, I lost all control over it. It was a door that once I opened, I was never able to close again. This is why I don't personally endorse the practice, but I'm also not going to keep you from exploring something that can be truly life changing, and to many, is religious in nature."
"I experimented briefly with the Gateway Experience tapes a year ago, opened a 'door' in my minds eye, and have never been able to close it again. I only AP'd intentionally once or twice using the tapes. Ever since then, I haven't been able to stop. It's extremely disruptive to my sleep."
"I still don't have total control over when I'm yanked out."
"In the last year though, I have been more intentional about when I go out and that's honestly just so I can escape my reality and be more elsewhere in an abstract way because life is hard and taxing. "
Users discussing challenges with maintaining focus on visualization techniques, specifically the 'swinging' method, during attempts at astral projection. Some users describe distractions or difficulties sustaining the mental imagery necessary for the technique to work.
"Don’t get frustrated if you don’t get out the first, second or third time. Don’t stress it and trust that it will work."
"When I am to tired I might fall asleep because u get too lazy to move the eyes so much 😂."
Users are expressing frustration and inconvenience due to changes in keyboard functionality after a recent phone update. Specifically, the re-appearance of a persistent bar below the keyboard and the inability to hide it, along with changes to keyboard shift functionality are causing problems for users.
"Omg the shift of the keyboard has completely thrown me. Been trying to work out how to get rid of the arrow to hide the keyboard for the last few hours. Nothing seems to work..... How did this get through testing!"
"Care, I heard that for many it broke nfc (didn't test this yet), but what annoys me the most is bar below the keyboard (to hide the keyboard) beeing back with no way to hid it (the old settings under gestures don't work)"
Users express dissatisfaction with the frequency and longevity of software updates on Android tablets, particularly when compared to the support provided by Apple's iPads. The lack of consistent updates leads to performance degradation, security vulnerabilities, and missed feature improvements, making the devices feel outdated prematurely.
"I really wish the brand would take user loyalty more seriously and commit to longer-term support—both in terms of security patches and feature updates."
"Security updates are inconsistent, and there's a lack of meaningful software improvements or feature rollouts."
"It’s frustrating as a consumer to invest in a device and then feel like the company has moved on too quickly."
"A tablet is a long-term investment for many of us, and the experience post-purchase matters just as much as the specs on paper."
