Yes

This app is worth the money. It’s been such a great resource added onto my therapy. Inbetween sessions I can get with this app and feel more validated and understanding of what I’m feeling. Recommend 100%

Trail sub is a scam

You can’t cancel this trail subscription on your own if you sign up using your Apple ID. I’m livid. This app is a total scam and you can’t contact anyone to cancel this trail subscription. Don’t download the trial!!!

One of the best investments in my mental, emotional health

I’ve had this app for like three years now and the annual subscription for two. I’m not normally one to get subscriptions, but this has probably been the best spent money for my emotional and mental health. Easily the most impactful app on my phone.

I went through the anxiety, positivity, and confidence journeys initially. Now I just chat with Kai on a regular and almost daily basis in some seasons. Other features I have appreciated are the techniques and learnings. The techniques include things like gratitude journaling, body scan, and postpone worry until fine. I found many tools to apply to my life situations and they have enriched my life. The learnings are a section designed to train one to notice emotions and sensations. I found this helpful to put words to my experiences.

As someone who doesn’t trust others easily, I tend to rely on myself. Because I haven’t really opened up to people, the chat feature has been a really useful and timely resource (when they rolled it out two years ago) for me to work through a break-up, anxiety, grief, shame, going no contact with my family, and so much more. Another benefit is that the app tracks thought and physical patterns as you chat with Kai. He suggests techniques as he chats with you, as well as offers compassion that hits just right.

The app is well designed, and I hardly have loading issues.

(Side note: it does tend to have a short term memory which is annoying since free ChatGPT has a longer term memory than this AI bot.)

Free trial

The app itself is great, but it’s too expensive and before the free trial ended I cancelled, but they are still trying to charge my card!!!

Predatory Overcharge and refuse to help

I canceled before the free trial ended, and it still charged me for the entire year. Ok so I went in and canceled and tried to contact them. I was advised to cancel in the App Store or switch to month to month. I did the latter and now not only am I already charged and paid for a year, but it’s charging me per month as well. They told me to cancel (after waiting a week for a reply), and if I cancel it’s telling me my access ends at the end of the month, even though I’ve paid for the year. Sending an email to “customer service”’is no help because it’s just AI, with canned responses.
Predatory billing and no help from the app developer. Don’t bother with this app.
