  • LOVE IT

    Honestly this is a super helpful app for anxiety and other things like that like depression and more best app on my phone
  • AMAZING AND JUST CANT COMPARE TO OTHER SELF HELP APPS

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS I’ve always had issues with multiple things pertaining to self harming I also already hated mindfulness and meditation and stuff but this way makes it cute and fun at the same time as your taking care of yourself and doing things for yourself your also taking care of your virtual pet witch actually makes me want to meditate more often I absolutely love this app and will continue to love it and open it everyday I can it’s really not like other self help apps witch are absolutely boring and every single inch you go requires money money and more money and so on this one doesn’t do that you can keep going without putting money in every step you take.

  • Amazing in every way

    I don’t think anyone will even see this review but this app is AMAZING. It has definitely improved my overall wellbeing, and Amaru is just so cute in general! 💚
  • Literally changed my life (and probably saved it too)

    I suffer from chronic depression, anxiety, ADHD, and a lot of other small stuff. I’ve been using this app on and off for years— admittedly, sometimes I don’t even have the energy to turn it on, and start slacking— but when I do, I feel like myself again. Motivated. Like someone with a goal. As someone who struggles to find reasons to keep going, reading back past journal entries and reliving all of those moments, good and bad, always tears me up. The gratitude scans, meditations, and other guided audios let me feel soothed like someone is there with me, walking me through things, even when I don’t have anyone or if I feel guilty for being a burden.

    The feeling of being needed by someone, and being able to provide— without having the pressure of feeling like I’ve let a friend down— is worth more to me than I can express.

    Genuinely, wholly, and deeply, I would like to extend an enormous thanks to the Amaru team. No matter how bad it gets, or how worthless I feel, how many close calls I’ve survived, this app brings me back. Centers me. Reminds me to remember good things in my life that are constant and unwavering. Things to be proud of. Things to be grateful for.

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you all.

    Warmest and sincerest regards,
    C

  • Makes me feel less alone!

    I have tried a few self care companion apps and just self care apps in general over the years, and this is the first one that I saw immediate results with! The guided meditations are so helpful (I haven’t seen guided meditations in a self care companion app before!) and seeing Amaru wake up with anxiety does 2 things: 1) makes me feel less alone if I also wake up with anxiety and 2) gives me even more motivation to complete a relaxation exercise. If I’m not in the right mindset to help myself, wanting to help him feel better makes me do it. It has just the right amount of interaction (the bonding system is so rewarding and helps with my patience, watching him slowly warm up to me is amazing) so I don’t feel pressured or anxious because I can’t complete a daily goal. Overall it’s a super relaxing app that I find myself opening multiple times throughout the day just for a little pause.

  • Amazing!!

    I LOVE Aramu, it says exactly what it does in the description, it helped me relieve my anxiety and become more stress free in my day to day life with cute mini games and all in the style of a virtual pet app!
  • Very sweet but a few misclicks led to me deleting the app

    The app was absolutely adorable and I love the concept and wish I didn’t have to delete the app, but when I was poking around (note: this is completely my fault, I wasn’t paying enough attention) I clicked on something’s that added me to a list to have a gold key (a item that unlocks a most of the game, got through real money) and i don’t feel comfortable being given something like that, that someone else paid for. I need to reiterate again this app is amazing, I only had it for less then a day before I made this mistake but I loved it for the day I had it. If possible I think a way to get off the waitlist would be helpful (again reiterating that clicking the button was my fault and I should have stopped to read what I was doing and if I had realized real money was involved I would have never done it)

    Hi! Not really sure why you would delete it though? Our players enjoy being able to give the game to players in need. If you don't have need, you can buy the game yourself and it removes you from the list.
  • Best app ever

    If I had to choose one app to keep on my phone, it would be this one. No explanation.
  • Helpful & Adorable

    I’ve had this app before and it’s really helped me a lot to be mentally happy with myself and earn the abilities to either coax my mind or hone in and focus on it.
    Every point of this is amazing and creative: from how you can earn rewards from putting your device away, or the careful ambience in the background, even to the cute little face of Amaru themself.
    This is good for all ages as it is a lovely balance between game and an app that is helpful for your mental health.
    I love the new feature of donation keys (to be fair, I don’t know when they were added, but I don’t think they were added the first time I had the app) and though there are lots of people waiting in line for one, I know that the creators spent a lot of time and money on this app - So, to the creators out there who made Amaru, you did a great job and I hope you come back from the financial damages of making this game (unless you already have.)
    I would recommend this to anyone who feels to many negative or crowding thoughts are in their head, for this game only requests a few 10 or so minutes of your day to sooth the train of bewildering thoughts!

  • I hope it stays this good.

    I’ve never had a “self-care” app before. I always found them useless and cheesy… but I’ve actually had an inspiration with this app. First, the visuals are sooo beautiful, I love the softness and kind of kawaii vibes (and Amaru is absolutely adorable). The little glint shimmers are so awesome, I rarely have the same quote more than once, and they have even made me cry happy tears because they were so accurate to what I was dealing with. This game is really a breath of fresh air and it reminds me there are good people in the world ❤️. The last big thing is that there are hardly any ads, just a few here and there, and even those ones are aesthetic and not distracting. I understand that companies need to make money so they must have ads, and it feels like the creators care more about mental health than making money which is the big plus. So thank you to the creators for bringing this game and I hope you do so well!
