Leave a Review Amaru
Great!!
I have anxiety and ocd and it helps me heaps!! (I also love the magical cat!!)_nonbinary
Sweetest App ever
I have only had this App for a couple of weeks but I’ve definitely quickly become not only a little obsessed but I’ve told all my friends about it!! The idea of taking care of a mythical little cat with anxiety while managing my own is very comforting, Def recommended if you need a little app friend to get you through the tough days.Show lessPS I ♥️ U
Actually amazing
My one quarrel is that there’s a lot of content locked behind a pay wall, which really isn’t much of a quarrel. I’m just mad I don’t have the money to pay for a subscription, but I am sure the content locked away is very valuable to the maintenance of mental health. I’m also sure the money is used to pay artists, composers, and anyone on a team to help maintain the app and anyone who’s worked on it.
Without paying, the app is still very useful and genuinely helps to form healthy practices such as grounding, reducing time on your phone, and mindfulness. I’ve found myself using this app every single time I fall into a depressive hole and it’s genuinely helped me every single time. Don’t get me wrong, meditation and a cute animal hybrid isn’t a cure all for depression. I’m currently looking into medications as well as other coping mechanisms and grounding techniques, but personally, meditation does help. It’s helped reduce a lot of stress from school and helped me wind down before bed.
I highly recommend this app for intro to guided meditation and other meditation techniques and uses. The journaling is alright as well though I wish there was a blank version without the “I’m grateful for” prompt. Sometimes I just want to write how I’m feeling and don’t need the be reminded of something to be grateful for.Show lessPinkkitty05

We're so happy to hear it's been helping you! Yes, we wish we didn't have to paywall things either, but unfortunately it costs ~$30,000/month to run the studio and we haven't yet found a way to break even. Hoping that changes for us soon. We have put all the self-care content, the meditations, journal, etc. on the free side of the paywall to try and keep it accessible. We've finally got text entry feeling better in the journal, so we're looking forward to releasing more journal features soon.I’m in love with this app.
So I have issues with focusing and problems with anxiety and ADHD. I also haven’t really seen a lot of reviews about the free version. It has a reasonable amount of stuff to do without buying the full version. I would still recommend buying the full version (although I can’t since I’m a little broke right now from buying a ukulele). It’s a really good app and I’d recommend this to anyone struggling with self esteem and anxiety. I would also suggest watching a tutorial of where everything is because I had a hard time finding everything when I first downloaded it.
So don’t worry about not being able to do a lot if you don’t buy the full version since there’s still a bunch you can do even if you don’t have the full version unlocked. Hope this helps someone who’s worried about having to spend money.
The app is really good though and when I’m better with money I’ll for sure buy the full version bit by bit.Show lessPupperFluff_WolfZ

So glad you're enjoying it!So helpful!!
Amaru has really helped me with my anxiety. Getting all 3 gems isn’t difficult, and creates a sense of security. I know that every time I open up the app, Amaru will be there for me, along with the gratitude journal and the breathing exercises. The journal makes me feel more hopeful in my future, and the Breathing exercises calm me down quite effectively! I genuinely adore Amaru and his cute little animations! He is a little glimmer of hope in my world, and I’m grateful to Six Wing Studios for that. And if you read this whole thing, I have a message for you that I got from the app itself: “You can do the thing”Show lessCakelessness
This app is a certifed pogchamp
This is such a relaxin game. i mean its not realy a game, but it also kinda is, like theres mini games(that are also calming like the bell game and rock stacking thing) that you can have Amaru do, or you can have him explore and he bring u back stuffs. also it has some lil meditation things u can do, which are free,(you pay with in game currency) and the baccround moosic has like birds chirping and stuff. So overall its a nice game that you set gaols in, like wake and bed times, and you have to take care of Amaru and its so cute cuz after doing ur goals he gets mor happy and energetic and also HE SO FRICCIN CUTE. So take from me, some random person who left a review, if your lookin for a self-care helping app, u should get this 1Show lessUr bestie from the woods
Wonderful app
I really enjoy this app I downloaded it a couple of days ago. I love the animation and the meditation exercises. I have found the grounding in deep breath exercise the most helpful. Fantastic app and really helping towards my mental health!JudiK1267
Very good game
A lot of helpful strategies and goals that helped me through the hardest of times. The only (technical) problem I have with this game is that you have to pay for some content in the game, thought that may not be a problem for most people. Other than that I would rate it 5 out of 10 stars.IFeelABitZainyToday
So helpful
This app really helped me get through tough times and improve my mental health. Helping to calm amaru’s anxiety often helped calm my own. I love the way the journal encourages reflection but doesn’t make me feel pressured to write a certain amount. One thing that really made me sad was you can’t create an account or back up your info! I lost months of journaling I had done on this app when my phone was stolen so I am hesitant to trust it again. I would love to see some updates In the future to link it to a google account or create and account within the app.
EDIT:
So happy to hear I can make an account now, really happy with the creators of the app and all who work on it!Show lessB3CC0
Pet+Self-Care!!
I love this app! 5 stars hands down! I was searching for a virtual pet and stumbled across this cute guy. Being an animal lover and quite a depressed person this is just what I need; a self-care app that actually encourages me to meet my goals everyday such as meditating. You can create your own goals and switch them if there’s a task you want to do sometimes but not everyday. There’s a journal to write in and mini games to play. I also like that it takes time for Amaru to like you and bond with you like many real pets. All this for FREE!!
I’ve never paid more than $2 for any app (and that was only once). I made an exception for this one after a few days mainly to support the creators; they do a good job. I can’t remember if the second journal to unlock is free or not. I believe they really don’t read what you write in the journals because I’ve put a few…..certain words in there and unlike some other journal apps nothing happens. No account on hold stuff.
I just really wish this were a thing: the background of the place where Amaru is would get dark like it’s nighttime when it’s his bedtime.
I’ve already recommended this app to a few friends. They say they’re real busy which I understand. I hope I’ll recommend this to someone one day and they actually use it. Thank you Six Wings!Show lessRattieGamer
