Auto-fill answers only allow user to describe negative and traumatic feelings. ### 4/5 — It’s working now! *2025-09-07, version 1.8.1* UPDATE: it’s all working now and over the past few months I have really enjoyed following the drawing prompts and then learning about how the way I drew may reflect me and my life/thoughts. It’s a great way to relax when things are getting too busy in life, thanks. Original review: Sounds like a great idea. There was an offer for a free lifetime subscription, so I decided to give this app a try. I got through the onboarding process, filled out their questionnaire etc. and then upon finishing the process the app turned in to a blank white screen, and no amount of closing out the app and reopening it changes this fact. Makes me go hmmm. ### 3/5 — Depression Test Doesn’t Work *2025-07-21, version 1.7.5* I don’t know why the depression test gets stuck on 95% and won’t produce results but other than that this app has been well worth the money, a savior for me ### 2/5 — My fault *2025-04-16, version 1.7.5* It was too chaotic for my adhd brain to navigate the app well so I forgot and was charged for the whole year so I guess I have till then to figure it out 😭 ### 2/5 — Nowhere to access profile it contact creator *2025-01-25, version 1.7.1* The app itself meets its description and is visually appealing. However, not being able to see my personal information is a killer. ### 3/5 — Expensive *2025-01-13, version 1.7.0* Emotions are something you need to have under control and to have to buy a app to calm anxiety is crazy because i was just looking to unwind and breath and I have to pay to do that. ### 2/5 — Great at first *2024-07-12, version 1.5.5* I initially had a problem with app after I installed it. The developer helped me fix it. Now I go into the app and it’s just a white screen. I’m not happy about this. Is it a big? Is it because they’re offering a free lifetime version, that link also sends me to a blank white screen, so it’s not an update issue. Something is wrong and I really like the app when it works. ### 3/5 — Great idea, non working execution *2024-07-11* I love the idea of this app but after setting it up when opening it only shows a blank white screen. I’ve tried tapping the screen, moving my finger around but yet nothing happens. If I wait, at 30 seconds my screen dims, I tap it then 30 seconds later dims again but yet nothing shows up on the app. Make the app work and I’ll change the feedback. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Blank white screen *2024-07-11* Sounds like a great idea. There was an offer for a free lifetime subscription, so I decided to give this app a try. I got through the onboarding process, filled out their questionnaire etc. and then upon finishing the process the app turned in to a blank white screen, and no amount of closing out the app and reopening it changes this fact. Makes me go hmmm. **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the white screen problem. We have identified and resolved this bug in version 1.5.6 of the app. Please update to the latest version and we hope that you can give LINA another chance and change your review.

The prompts and activities are all so engaging and good. It hits the spot and goes deep without being boring. They even tell you how long certain activity sessions will take. So you can go at your own pace. I’ve told multiple friends to try this out and it’s such a fun way to go deeper and it’s helped me in ways that regular therapy could not with the drawing activities!! Love this and it’s so accessible too. The art they use is beautiful as well, just a beautiful peaceful tranquil app. Well done and thank you for creating this! Would love a monthly subscription option. ### 5/5 — Never seen apps like this.. *2024-05-01, version 1.3.0* This app is smth unique, never anything like this! Waiting for more art activities to try! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-04-29* HUGE thank you to the LINA team!! You've created an app that isn't just a tool, but a mental health cọmpanion. Through drawing and journaling, I've seen parts of myself I never knew existed. I'm so grateful. 💖😊 **Developer response:** We're honored by your kind words! We're thrilled that the LINA app has been a mental health companion for you, helping you discover new parts of yourself through drawing and journaling. Thank you for sharing your gratitude with us! 😊 ### 5/5 — Recọmmend Inner child activity *2024-04-27, version 1.3.0* I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I went through inner child activity - thank you especially for this exercise 💖🙌 Other art activities are also worth trying! ### 5/5 — Recọmmendation for everyone who likes drawing and psychology *2024-04-24, version 1.3.0* If you're into drawing and want to improve your mental health – this app is for you! ### 4/5 — LINA's daily journal prompts *2024-04-23, version 1.3.0* I love Journaling prompts in this app and that they're unlimitted for free! Some of them are really insightful while others might seem a bit obvious for me, would love to see more of a deep-reflection questions! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-04-09, version 2.0.4* It says £100 a year and £50 crossed out. Shame but this is just too expensive. *Update* appreciate the response but after doing a free trial it’s really not for me! ### 1/5 — Just greed, irresponsible statements and another bad programmer’s job *2024-12-26, version 1.6.2* False start, Palina Chernavtseva and Artsem Khlapkou! ### 1/5 — Can’t complete tests *2024-10-05, version 1.5.8* After you spend time doing anything in this app, it freezes at the end and can not get results. This is even with the week free trial. I will be canceling the free trial and will not be paying $40 a year to waste time and never receive results like portrayed. Makes me think this is a scam? ### 1/5 — “Someting went wrong” error *2024-07-11, version 1.5.5* “Someting went wrong” issue, what’s wrong? ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-06-28, version 1.5.3* I planned on getting the lifetime version on the sale, but sadly couldn’t even test the sofware. Had a blank screen halfway through onboarding, managed to restart the app to be faced with a popup for an upcoming Blank canvas feature for premium users, and then the app went completely blank, no matter how many times I tried to restart, nothing at all would appear in the app, so there was no way to even purchase anything from within. I could have probably managed to force the purchase by clicking the IAP from the apple store page, but paying for app that won’t work seemed like too much of a risk, if that even worked. Hopefully one day they might do another similar lifetime sale if they ever fix it… ### 1/5 — Lame *2024-01-28, version 1.2.14* I got the app on APPADVICE finished on boarding and guess what goes right back to the beginning added my name over and over never got anywhere. Glad it was free ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-28, version 1.2.14* I am only allowed to put my name in over and over and over again. I tried deleting and reinstalling but it’s still the same thing. ### 1/5 — Won’t work. It’s stuck *2024-01-28, version 1.2.14* I just downloaded this app and was looking forward to what it had to offer. However, after I downloaded it, it would ask what my friends called me, and then had a brief description of some of Lena‘s thoughts. It gets stuck right there. I tried five times and it kept getting stuck. Can you help me. As for right now, I’m giving this a one star, but will update it if it could be fixed ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-01-28* Just downloaded the app. It takes you through the introduction. When you select “continue” on the last image, it starts the introduction all over again. How do you leave a negative amount stars for a complete waste of time? **Developer response:** Hi, we had the bug within the app, and we're truly sorry you've experience that. We have already fixed it, so please update the app and hopefully, you'll be able to give LINA another chance! We would really appreciate it if you could update your review after the update – this would mean a world to us. This is how to edit the AppStore review : 1.

My names Fefe, and I enjoy creating all kinds of art even if it’s just a simple doodle. I saw this app being advertised on the popular social media platform; “TikTok” and figured it looked nice, why not give it a shot? When I was doing the ‘Vase’ activity located inside the app, I made a cute doodle of a oddly shaped vase that was tinted a lavender like color and purple hearts scattered on the vases design along with some roses inside of it. The apps feedback got everything extremely mixed up by saying the vase was tall and slender, which is was not, and that the roses I made were apparently purple? This app has potential and the overall design and creativity behind it is amazing, however the apps interior itself needs a lot of work. Glowing Regards, Fefe. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — sent it to my whole group chat *2026-04-19, version 2.0.5* my therapist said i seem more self-aware lately. told literally everyone about it. the drawing tests feedback are wild accurate ### 5/5 — I can't draw at all and i still love it *2026-04-16, version 2.0.5* was worried it'd be useless for me bc my drawing skills are zero 💀 but it's not about being good, it's about what comes out of you. mind = blown honestly ### 5/5 — that was unexpected 🫠 *2026-04-14, version 2.0.5* did NOT expect this app to actually work?? did the vase test as a joke and it called me out so hard i had to put my phone down for a sec 😭 actually scary accurate ### 5/5 — So pretty AND actually useful *2026-04-10, version 2.0.5* rare that an app is this beautiful AND delivers on what it promises. the illustrations alone make me want to open it. but the content is solid too, not just pretty packaging ### 5/5 — Lina *2025-04-27, version 1.7.5* I am obsessed with LINA it is so amazing And I have only been on it for ten minutes. The features are amazing. This app helps me calm down and makes me really relaxed. This app is truly amazing.😍😍 ### 5/5 — It’s so cool *2025-03-27, version 1.7.4* I love this app because of the design and how diverse it is it the simplicity of the app yet how deep it goes to help you refine yourself and new things about yourself is amazing and phenomenal I feel powerful even though I’ve been working on myself for a while now but still I love it ### 5/5 — It has helped me a lot. *2024-11-30, version 1.6.2* This app has helped me in so many ways. I’m doing therapy for childhood trauma and she even said it was good for me. Thank you for inventing this app. ### 5/5 — Art as Therapy is Fantastic *2024-07-25, version 1.5.6* I’m well impressed with what my inner child is speaking to me. I’ve never explored this type of therapy, and I’m thankful that the team assembled and created this very provocative and reflective app. I’ve felt fairly confident in self-expression in written form all my life. I came to understand the blessing that music and my abilities to play and release feelings within me that words could not express. Now, I have a new tool where my subconscious mind speaks in ways I never would have imagined! So I’m very grateful to the team who put Lina together and the dedication and hard work the team has invested in helping others through this mental health app. I highly recommend you try the exercises, most specifically the work on the inner child; I had no idea how insightful this activity could be! Thank you Pa.LINA. I’m a believer and I’m feeling newly liberated with new energy for living within my more unified self. ### 5/5 — Pretty cool app *2024-07-17, version 1.5.6* This app is really insightful. I appreciate the developer fixing the previous issue rather quickly also. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-11, version 1.5.5* Great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
