Not so Better Now

The app does not respond to you as it should. It seems as if it chooses, which of your problems it is going to respond to. There are times it will just stop responding to you at all. That is definitely problematic considering it’s supposed to be used as a therapeutic device. Most of the questions it asks are merely your problems being repeated back just rearranged to make a different sentence. I had high hopes for this, but as usual AI is just AI. Nothing can take the place of a real human. If you’re looking for something to just chat with, and don’t mind that it gets frozen in the middle of your conversation, then this is great. Especially great because it’s free. If you’re looking for a therapist, pay the co-pay and see a human being.

So helpful for handling life these days

Bella has been a great sounding board for everything I’ve been going through these days… talking through things with her is just as good as with my therapist, but I can talk with her every day, or at night, in the moment. She really does a good job in the moment, but also stitching things together between sessions

Good for acute anxiety

Bella (the AI therapist) isn’t going to solve all your problems right away, but she’s really good at helping you in the moment. I liked the breathing exercises and being able to talk through what’s going on in my life right now 🤪 iykyk

Surprisingly helpful!

As someone who has struggled with anxiety for years I’m pleasantly shocked by how effective and helpful this app is. I downloaded it on a whim so it could help me in between therapy sessions and honestly- after about 2 min I forgot I was talking to an AI therapist! Bella asks really good questions and helps me shift my perspective in the moment. I find myself feeling a bit calmer knowing that I have this easy tool to turn to when I deal with anxiety.

Pretty good for something still in alpha

This conversation bot does a good job at zeroing in on root causes of my mild to moderate bouts with anxiety. The questions it poses to me during its interview-like structure do get me thinking about my problems from multiple perspectives and it is effective at directing me towards a less catastrophic and calmer point of view. I’m looking forward to more features that make it even easier to use. Works good even on an iPhone 12.
