1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   This app is useless! Don’t waste your money.. Instead of actually giving me any actionable advice or skills. The cbt ai agent just parrots useless questions back to me. Way worse then using Gemini even though this is supposed to be specialized

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   AI driven. App appears to be programmed for human engagement rather not human help. Logging how you feel can be helpful, but this app encourages tech addiction and dependency.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work on smaller screens. On iPhone 13 mini, when the keyboard is open, the prompt is off the screen and there’s nothing you can do about it, no way to close the keyboard.

4. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Poor all around. I’ve used quite a few apps like this and had high hopes after seeing the ratings but honestly it’s not a great app. Very basic prompts, absolutely force fed AI “innovation” that’s so poorly executed, so much clutter and junk in the app that ironically is supposed to help you clear your mind. It’s far too busy and worst of all - they charged me without any notification of my trial expiring and no way to contact any support. Poof there goes $60! Find any other alternative

5. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   Chatbot only responds in Spanish. The app seems like a useful tool, but one day the chatbot decided it would only respond in Spanish. I can’t have a serious check-in if the chatbot is giving me responses in Spanish every time. Maybe someone should explore its triggers? Seems odd it decided to start speaking Spanish when I asked about privacy/confidentiality.

6. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Predatory and not free. Read other reviews, if you try the “free” trial you won’t be able to cancel! I’m thinking about putting together a lawsuit against these people or these days there are other ways to end problems as we see today. I don’t do subscriptions for things that shouldn’t be a subscription (this app). Sleazy. That’s the vibe I got when right after answering all of the many personal questions about my struggling mental health to formulate a “plan just for you!”, I was immediately hit with a subscription request for a crazy amount of money per month. And an option for a completely useless 7 day trial. How on earth is anyone going to know if they want this after only 7 days?? I immediately closed the app and deleted it in what could’ve been record time. I may be depressed and need help but I won’t be exploited for my money on a recurring basis. Sooooo tired of all the subscription garbage. Greedy people have ruined my country. It does please me to leave a 1 star review so that does make me feel a little better today. ChatGPT is doing a great job of helping me without getting bent over and railed with no lube by these people. Only low brain functioning low IQ people would pay for this. It doesn’t matter how much money you have either. There are principles in life.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Yet another subscription. I’m not signing up for a free trial to test your app. It’s incredibly predatory to people who struggle remembering things. I refuse to use apps like this, I want to test apps without worrying about canceling a ‘free’ trial. Predatory practice on people who may be seriously struggling in life, shame on you.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   AI additions are creepy. I used this app in the past and was happy with it. Downloaded it again recently and was really unhappy and creeped out by the new AI elements. It gets in the way of everything I used to like about the app.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Preying on neurodivergents. This app looks great, I signed up for the free trial then totally forgot about it. ADHD, then all of a sudden it was charging me $60 which I don’t have in the budget. I tried to cancel and get a refund, no response from anybody regarding how to go about this. An app for ADHD you would think had more ADHD friendly processes like a reminder that they’re going to charge you for something that I have yet to actually use because it requires too much focus.

10. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Tried to cancel subscription multiple ways. I have an advanced degree in philosophy. I’m also a millennial I’m competent when it comes to using mobile apps however, despite my best effort, I have not been able to cancel my free trial and with this charged $60. I have written clarity to correct the mistake and they have not been responsive. I’m very upset and would like a full refund.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    1 free AI journal didn’t launch. 1 free AI journal didn’t launch. how will i know if i like or not?

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Subscription trap. Thanks for wasting my time and effort when it’s hard enough just existing. Anything for a buck I guess 🙄

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not free at all. Made me feel great pouring my heart out into those questions only to get hit with a paywall. Horrible onboarding process. I’m fine with paying, but after someone just reviewed what exactly is making them feel awful, that’s a very predatory time to ask them to open their wallet. Thanks but I’ll use a different app.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not free. When I tried to do some exercises, they weren’t free. Wow. So much for trying to better my mental health…thanks for that…

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Still charging after I canceled. I got charged for this app today and I cancelled several days ago. What trash company feel the need to prey on vulnerable people and still charge them.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Save your year long sub money. All this app can generate is hot AI garbage. Just talk to chatGPT on a free account.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Help me get back in. The codes I usually work won’t work and my face isn’t always letting me in. How can I reset my code. Please respond, I love the app when I can get in…! I’ll change this to a 5 if I can get back in. Email me!!

18. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    NOT HELPFUL FOR ME. I don’t really like this app although I think it will be helpful for some people. My issue is that to even use the free trial, I had to give credit card info. I’ve tried to CANCEL TWICE…still in the trial period…YOUR “HELP”…I filled out your email form….your app wouldn’t even accept send it!!! I WILL NOT USE THE APP. DO NOT CHARGE ME FOR IT. YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE THE CORRECT EMAIL/MY EMAIL on your HELP EMAIL. No idea how/why you have on MY TRIAL ACCOUNT. CANCEL PLEASE! Thank you!!!

19. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Have been trying to cancel for three days. I have followed the steps provided by the developer to cancel during my free trial, but my iPhone is not displaying the option to cancel my subscription. I have two days left on my free trial and would like to delete this app from my phone but I al also not seeing any delete option, just hide. Please help. This app is very expensive and I do not wish to purchase it.

20. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Manipulative scam give me my money back. I attempted to cancel my trial but this predatory app charged me $60 for a whole year of service. The ai mostly just glitches, stay away from this app

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Provide your personal data to view the paywall :). App is shown as “free” in the App Store. Once you install and complete an intake survey providing them with your personal lifestyle data, they offer you the features that you downloaded the app to use at a monthly subscription. Be transparent. People who want to be customers will be, and you won’t waste other people’s time.

22. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    No way to try without paying. This app offers a 7-day trial but only if you authorize the $70 charge at the end of those 7 days. After reading other reviews, there is no way to try for the 7 days and if it doesn’t work for you, not pay to continue. That isn’t a trial. That is 7 days free when you pay for a year.

23. ★★★★★support does not respond or resolve the issue

    Charged $70. No way to get hold of support or developers. Do not purchase this app. Support tickets go into a black hole that are never responded to. Very disappointing that there's no humans ok the other side of this.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Trash. This app used to be awesome. Now everything is locked. I’m so sick & tired of people being so money hungry. Will be deleting my account & this app. What a shame. It used to really be helpful.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    DON’T PUT A FEE ON MENTAL HEALTH. I did think this was a good app, never seen it before but the reviews seemed good. That’s until I opened it, made my account and boom, it shoved a “free trial” in my face. I wanted a free genuinely helpful app, but of course they just want the money. It’s disgusting to me how these companies can just beckon the money from our pockets so we can finally feel a bit better about ourselves. Deleted the app and never downloading it ever again.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ignorance is Bliss. at first this app seemed to really fit what i was looking for and more, up until i saw that they were hiding some of the negative emotions i set for my days and only displaying ALL of my happy emotions i selected while leaving in only 1 or 2 of the negative emotions i selected. not only that but sometimes the app just decides to take some stuff you wrote in your journal and just randomly delete them. this makes it hard to self reflect and improve.

27. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Cancel free Trial. My subscription is active despite following all the directions on the app to cancel it. I’m frustrated that it seems I’m stuck paying so much for an app that I’ve tried cancelling 4 times.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Asks too many questions and doesn’t let me opt out. I just wanted a simple mood tracker. I don’t want to give away all my information!

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Sadly stuck with it.. Before signing up my husband I read that you can cancel any time -no questions asked. I told him there was a week free trial and he tried the app for 2 days and didn’t like it but then got busy and forgot about it until $69.99 was charged to us. He canceled and asked apple for a refund on day 9 and was told no refunds. I messaged the app company and told them apple said no refunds and they said try apple again. I messaged the app company again and haven’t received a reply! I do not recommend this app. Unfortunately I guess I got my husband an app he doesn’t want for Christmas 🥹. I hope this helps someone. Merry Christmas everyone.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    DONT PUT A FEE ON MENTAL HEALTH. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a FREE and genuinely helpful guide on stress and intrusive thinking. Every time I’ve attempted a new method, it surveys me and then asks for my money after making me think I was getting help! The questions weren’t even well formatted. And the monthly to yearly payments are laughable prices. I saw this on instagram and it seemed to have positive effects from what I read from real people. I thought it was a sign to finally get my head straight but..
