Better than therapy for me
I don't buy many apps but I'm SO glad I bought this one. If you are on the fence, just get this app already!
I had a therapist for about a year but he wasn't very helpful... In my first week of using this app, it was already better than going to a mediocre therapist*. And obviously the app is cheaper ($4 one time for the app vs whatever your copay is to visit a therapist).
I love how this app helps you look at your moods and feelings more objectively. Identifying thinking traps and re-thinking negative thoughts has helped my mood. Now I'm starting to realize when I'm falling into these traps during the thought rather than afterwards when I log it in the app.
Seeing the history of my moods is great too. I would have thought my average mood was pretty negative, but over the past month of using the app I've realized that I'm in a neutral mood over half of the time.
* Disclaimer - If therapy is beneficial for you I don't recommend quitting it. You could probably use this app alongside therapy too. Sometimes a therapist and the client are not a good match for each other, as was my case.Show lessPusheenie
Please read!!!
This app is amazing for all ages. I’ve had a hard time with therapist and psychologist for years and years of trying to find one that could help me. I finally found an amazing therapist who helps me tremendously. Only, she works far from where I live so it’s hard to see her as often as I’d like. I was skeptical about downloading this app, since it’s hard for me to find something/ someone that helps change my mindset. I saw the good reviews and downloaded it. After just one journal entry, I fell in love. The questions, and strategy the app uses to help flip any negativity is professional and truly works. It reminds me of how my therapist is able to help me so well. This app truly helps you for the better whether you have a mental illness (like me) or just want to be overall more positive and understandings to yourself and feelings, just be consistent with it! I’ve noticed a change in my mood and noticed I’ve been more positive and motivated at the end of the day. Even on those really bad days, it helps. It helps just to type out how you feel, and this app helps you recognize that and why. Much worth the purchase. I’m so happy someone made this app. To the developers: I hope you know you’re helping a lot of people with this app, it’s truly great, thank you.Show lessPink4ndglossy20
Developer Response
Thank YOU for sharing your experience! The app was built with the intentions you've described perfectly :DIcon bug; Needs an iPad version.
Well, I downloaded this from a curated section in the App Store. I didn’t see anything in the description about this being primarily for iPhone. So it looks terrible on my iPad mini. Additionally, the icon appears as a circular grid. I tried re-downloading, but got the same result.
The developer justifies the the lack of an iPad version by saying on it website that it is primarily a mobile app. I think this is a poor excuse, and I feel somewhat misled by the way in which the app was advertised by Apple. They need to work out some bugs in the content curation of the new App Store.
Edit: This is my review for my experience on the iPad. My point is that iPad owners will not be as satisfied with the app, so those buyers should be aware. There is nothing in the “Today” section of the App Store which states clearly this is iPhone only. I’m only attempting to aid the consumer in making an informed decision.Show lessCottonmouth
