Leave a Review Inflow
It’s like headspace for ADHD!
I’m really liking the trial so far. Especially with the short lessons along with mini-journals and challenges. I wish there was more of a game/ reward aspect to them though. Overall it’s a great app for things you already know, but need reminders for- the app could improve a lot though in what it offers for $99/yr. Also the monthly option is too expensive, if I could try for a couple months (3 month deal??) and then choose the year that’d be way better.Show lessAlienwell
The right direction! Great App
First, let me say that I will gladly pay the $95 price per year if the content continues to build in features and community. I have been using it for 3 days now and this content so far is mostly things that I know about ADHD and strategies for growth (just a great way to remind me of them when I forget). I like the way it adds structure to creating habits and is flexible with how many habits/tasks you work on at once. I like the prompts (my favorite feature). I like that the community, journal, challenges are all there and the presentation. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that this app is great right now, but can be so much greater if the developers take the 95 dollars per year's investment that I and many others are making and will make. To design a helpful app for our Adhd community. I will be keeping the app for a year and thanks for creating a great all with even greater potential. I will change my review and be willing to make suggestions on improvements if asked. Maybe add a suggestion box if not there currently.Show lessJjraym78

Thanks for such an awesome and thorough review — this really helps us improve on the app! We're so excited that you're a part of our community. Feel free to reach out via email anytime if you have additional thoughts: hello@getinflow.ioLove the app, have one complaint
This app does a great job of not being overbearing. As someone newer to ADHD, I'm learning a lot from the modules, and the journals and community questions encourage reflection to deepen my understanding and apply what I'm learning to my own life. I appreciate and enjoy the challenge.
The issue I'm having is with the daily questions - I think some buttons on the screen are too close together and I almost always prematurely post what I've typed. It happens so fast that I can't describe it exactly but if I catch it, I'll edit my review to give more detail.Show lesspixieprexie
You can start now!
First of all, an app is no substitute for a diagnosis and professional support, but Inflow has been a great first step for me. These are life skills and community support that you don’t need any prescription for. As an American, accessing official medical support can take a long time and have significant financial barriers. I’m in my late twenties, still waiting for an official diagnosis, but my parent was recently diagnosed (in his 60’s!), so I’m using Inflow to get myself on a path to sustainability and success in my work and relationships. It’s never too late, but it’s also not too early! You can start now!Show lessjodijellybean
Exactly what I was looking for
I went searching for an ADHD coaching app and was lucky to be accepted as a beta tester for Inflow. It’s friendly but not silly, and the modules and challenges all make sense. There’s good information but it’s not overwhelming, and because Dr. Sachs has ADHD himself he is able to frame things in a way that make a lot of sense. As someone else said, a lot of this information is not necessarily new, but it is contextualized and demystified in very helpful ways. The prompts to
do challenges, answer community questions, and complete journal entries make it different from just reading a book—the small actionable ways to internalize the info make the app work for me.Show lesskffkog

Hey there! Thanks for your review! We’re so grateful to our beta testers for helping make Inflow what it is today. So thanks for that, too! :) If you have any other feedback, you can always email us: hello@getinflow.ioCompassionate and thorough
Inflow is a great app. The modules are really simple, but speak to so many concerns that I have always had. Sometimes the narrator makes me laugh because he's basically describing my life, but it's so nonjudgemental and understanding and encouraging. If you want to learn about your special brain and learn strategies to help you maximize your capabilities, this is the app for you. Also, seeing others respond to the daily prompt and are participating in challenges let's me know I'm not the only one! So there's also a lil community that is nice.Show lessms.honeybunz
Some useful tools
Unless you are new to your diagnosis, this app will likely not have many tips, tools, or facts you don’t already know. However, I was asked to be included in the study right when I was in the middle of a really rough time (my routines & habits were all out of whack and I needed to rebuild them, I wasn’t getting anything done) and it really helped me get back on track. It’s a good reminder of the strategies available to you, and very good at being a gentle partner in developing habits — prods you just enough, and paces you, showing you that a little bit of work every day can make a difference. It stops the frustration of trying to fix everything in one day (which doesn’t work). I don’t think it can replace therapy, but if you can’t access therapy, this app could be a good more affordable alternative to getting the very basic info and strategies that any therapist will tell you about adhd. It seems like they are working on expanding content and community features, and I think that’s great — it seems to be done very thoughtfully. I’m not sure it’s something I would benefit from using constantly after the initial several weeks & getting on track, but I’d benefit from revisiting it when I’m off-track. PS: I have to say it— the app name, plus a pink icon that looks vaguely like a menstrual cup makes me think about periods every time.Show lesschdhehebrh

Thanks for this feedback! Like you said, we continue to expand the content and community features, including our advanced modules which aim to dive deeper than our introductory modules so that there’s something for everyone. :)Highly effective and BRIEF CBT lessons proven to work
I’ve had ADHD long enough to understand most of the common struggles others like myself share. I am also all to familiar with the fact that the attributes are usually misunderstood by those with normal brains, often times causing us to have very low self esteem. (It’s all my fault, I’m forgetful and easily confused simply because I’m a jerk and not very smart). This app is a great reminder that you can forgive yourself for these issues. They are not things we have as a result of any character flaws. Our brains are documented physiologically different. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is one of the most overlooked but effective tools in dealing with mind management. This app emphasizes these therapies and prescribes very simple exercises that do help over time. But again, most importantly, forgive yourself. You are different and you are most certainly not alone. This app brings us together so we can learn from one another.Show lessexplosive diary

Wow, this review means so much to our team, thank you! You absolutely aren’t alone and we believe self-compassion is a core piece of the puzzle for those of us living with ADHD. We’re so glad that you’re having a positive experience and feeling more connected to your community. We’re all rooting for you!Glad my friend warned me!
I’ve been searching for a good ADHD app for a while now and recently downloaded a few to feel them out. Luckily enough My friend who has some experiences with the apps let me know of her very....different experience with the co founder of this app. She was charged 95$ for a yearly subscription. The options are either 95$ for a year or 30$ for a month. Not sure how that math makes sense? The co founder then proceeded to email her not once, but twice to get her to take down her review. Also, attaching screenshots basically calling her a liar about when she received the email about the charge and when she opened it. As a co founder, customer service should be one of the most important things you should have. Very disappointed that a mental health app would go out of their way to talk rudely to someone for expressing their own feelings.Show lessbohobeautifullife
Amazing work in progress
I absolutely love this app. My wife has been telling me, who’s been diagnosed a few times with ADHD in her life, that I should get tested because she is so sure I have it. She informed me signs in women are much different than in men. Since then I’ve found inflow and every time I exit the app, I’ve learned so much and so much of what is a problem with me, I know it’s common in a lot of people!
Inflow has taught me ways to cope, ways to calm down learn some more about RSD. It’s a work in progress, a rollercoaster
But the tools are so useful.
It’s hard for me to concentrate when, and inflow gives me the option to read AND listen, at the same time.
The scripts aren’t always verbatim, but not much off so it’s not hard to follow along at all.
I definitely recommend! I can’t wait for the progress and see just how far both the app and I have come.Show lessOctoberV
