It has these really beautiful stories that are very comforting and engaging, and nudge you to dig into yourself at a pace you're comfortable with, so that you can process parts of your life and your thoughts and yourself. It helped me when I needed it, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is having a rough go of it and doesn't know where to start! ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing *2026-08-05, version 6.3* Beautiful storytelling that also really improves your mental health. ### 5/5 — Very eye opening and insightful *2026-08-05, version 6.3* Honestly I get really distracted and tend to not focus on meditations or exercises like these but Betwixt has held my attention like nothing else and has been incredibly helpful. Highly recommend and I’m very happy to have found it! The YouTube channel also is incredibly informative and I find myself returning to both this app and the videos often! ### 5/5 — This app is priceless! *2026-08-05, version 6.3* I love this app! It takes me out of my situation, the description of imagery is outstanding and the soundtrack is what really takes me away! After listening, I feel grounded and capable of handling the stress in my life. I do love this app! And each time you listen, it’s a different experience. I find myself looking forward to where it takes me! ### 5/5 — Excellent for mental wellness *2026-08-05, version 6.3* And self-growth!!! Loved it so much, and recommend to EVERYONE!!! ❣️🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Beautifully insightful *2026-08-05, version 6.3* I loved the different paths this mental journey can take you on. It def helped unlock some feelings I couldn’t put my finger on. Beautifully written storytelling that incorporated my life’s experiences as it asked personal questions to help me understand how to overcome some mental blocks. My only critique would be that they allow for a continuous flow rather than start back at the beginning but perhaps that’s just the current version. I hope they grow as well! ### 5/5 — Soul stirring *2026-07-21, version 6.2* Absolutely amazing, insightful in such inspiring ways. And the app has been very kind when I didn’t have the money to pay for a subscription. They continued to allow me to use the app 🙏🫂💗 ### 5/5 — Un-Stuck! *2026-07-19, version 6.2* Edit to add: can’t use on iPad, works on my phone…I cannot review because I cannot get past the pages that say “why you’ll love Betwixt.” The pages lead nowhere, I’m not drawn into a dream/story, nor given the option to sign up. I’ve deleted/reinstalled, ensured my iOS is up to date, searched for advice, and am leaving this here as an SOS as your website doesn’t have a contact-us option… hoping to update review after I can experience the app! ### 5/5 — So Cool! *2026-07-16, version 6.2* This AI-free interactive story game has me gaining more insights than any meditation or self help regime I’ve tried. And I’ve tried a lot. ### 5/5 — This is the real deal *2026-07-11, version 6.1* Go down the rabbit hole of your mind to find what you’re made of. Find ways to actively work inside your values for your own and the greater good. Bravo Hazel Gale! ### 5/5 — What an amazing & validating app 🫶 *2026-06-09, version 5.31* I’m just starting out on my journey with this beautifully crafted app. I truly appreciate the time, knowledge and creativity it has taken to bring it into existence. ### 2/5 — You monster... *2026-05-27, version 5.31* So it just skips the whole story if I don't want to talk about something? I didn't even know trying to describe my own self-sabotage would make me start panicking—well I think that shouldn't have happened in the first place. It tells of a monster...I think "The Voice" is the real monster... ### 5/5 — Worth the time! *2026-05-24, version 5.31* I was skeptical about any sort of journaling as that had just made me more sad in the past. Through using Betwixt, I was able to realize things about myself and my situation that I suppose I had always known and just didn’t believe. With only gentle prompts from the journal I was able to respond freely about my feelings or choose a premade response that somehow said exactly what I was already thinking. This has started to heal parts of me that I had turned my back on. I am hopeful and excited to use the skills I have learned from this experience to live a life that I deserve and can be happy in. Thank you Betwixt team for everything!! I am so grateful <3 ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-05-21, version 5.30* Creators who care about their users, this app always calms me down and helps with improving my never ending thoughts. I recommend starting or ending your day with a chapter! As someone who is very anxious constantly it helps me come to a peace of mind ### 5/5 — Creative, thoughtful and WORKS *2026-05-14, version 5.30* I’ve struggled with clinical depression for a while and whilst this doesn’t necessarily fix the underlying cause, it helps to keep my head above water. It’s creative and thoughtful and helps to understand oneself, reminding you that you know what to do and what you value, you just need a little prompting to remember. I usually can’t stay on therapy programs because of motivation but this app is genuinely amazing. And a bonus— it’s accessible even if you’re not able to pay for subscriptions!! The creators have been super thoughtful and thorough. I love this. ### 5/5 — absolutely precious 💐💕 *2026-05-04, version 5.30* umm this almost made me cry, this was absolutely beautiful. I am so so happy and grateful! I am even more happy to support the team, the app, and the community in any way I can! I can’t wait to show this to my loved ones. This felt like the adventure in a bed time story but it feels like I entered it. 🌟 I can’t wait to continue on, I wish the team and supporters of the app all the best! 💕 ### 5/5 — In Love *2026-05-03, version 5.30* This app is so calm and nice to do if I’m anxious or waiting for something. I recommend to anyone who wants to explore themselves in a fresh way! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ten points for advertising *2026-07-29, version 6.2* The reality - a lot of filler. Absolute entry level self exploration. In this age, only a few beginners might get something out of this. It is NOT a choose your own adventure, it's just a form filling exercise. The first three chapters were like a subscription sales landing page. Constant "wow, you're going to get a lot out of this" kind of thing. The most irritating thing was the sound design. Way too much volume variation. On the lowest volume setting I had to mute a few times when a dramatic (eye roll) moment happened and the volume became unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Helped with my impulse control *2026-07-09, version 6.1* With a price tag of $67 I was able to confidently say no. ### 1/5 — No Collaboration *2026-04-23, version 5.29* Fun until you try to put your own words in. Then they try to manipulate you with sentence starters and fail to honestly interact with what you contributed. ### 1/5 — No accessability *2026-04-02, version 5.29* Can’t change the look or size of the in app text, no narration option. Not accessible for me. Even tried again on my iPad, still couldn’t read in app text. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Good for basic insight, not for depth *2026-03-24, version 5.29* Not for people who have an understanding of psychology or therapeutic processes. Could be useful for people who struggle to understand themselves. I personally didn’t learn anything new. ### 1/5 — This app is EVIL *2026-01-06* This app is deeply disturbing and spiritually wrong. I downloaded it to help with anxiety/PTSD and initially thought it was interesting, but that changed quickly when I asked who the voice in the game was. it told me not to worry about it and to “consider it my shepherd.” That’s wrong in so many ways. In the Bible, God is clearly and repeatedly referred to as our Shepherd. He ALONE is our Shepherd—that title is SACRED and clearly defined in the Bible. No app, voice, guide, or anything else has ANY right to claim that title. Anybody or anything claiming that role is evil, manipulative and demonic. Especially for something marketed as mental health support. Vulnerable people should never be exposed to messaging like this. It crossed a serious spiritual boundary and left me unsettled. I deleted it immediately and I strongly warn others to stay away. The ONE and ONLY Shepherd in heaven loves and cherishes you and he’s FAR better than a voice in an app. He gives us spiritual discernment and calls us to stand up against anything evil. And this app is evil. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-11-30, version 5.25* They gave the option to request a free spot but they never get back to you. ### 1/5 — Uses AI *2025-10-29, version 5.23* I was so excited to use this app and have been sharing it with folks and just realized today it uses AI. I wish I could take my money back. It’s so disappointing that it’s not transparent but a hidden factor about the app/mental health game. It so easily doesn’t need to be. It could be programmed by an actual app engineer without using AI. ### 1/5 — Overcharged *2025-09-01, version 5.21* I chose a lower level ($19.xx) and it charged me $43.xx. It’s not cleared my account yet so I can’t dispute. This is ridiculous. I will not be recommending it to my clients. ### 1/5 — U *2025-07-16, version 5.17* Can’t Really do anything with it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-09-06, version 6.6* This is a truly moving, incredibly powerful experience. It has helped me so much, and I think everyone would benefit from it ### 5/5 — Very surprising *2026-09-05, version 6.6* It’s a meditation in sense, but it’s also a unique walk inward. I don’t know how else to explain how interesting this app as been so far. I just experienced the flood and have a lot of reflective thoughts. ### 5/5 — Exquisite *2026-08-31, version 6.5* Achingly beautiful ### 5/5 — Surprising and Lovely *2026-08-18, version 6.4* I watched a bunch of YouTube videos one of the creaters made and found them resonant. I have CPTSD and Religious Trama. I've done 3 dream scape exercises and I reflect on them and find them helpful. I'm about to go into the 4th. ### 5/5 — Enlightening *2026-08-12, version 6.4* The detailed chronological story line captivates the subconscious and shakes very stubborn and outdated self beliefs out of place and puts them on trial confronting self with tender love and care. A well done inquisitive and introspective introduction to yourself. I found the app through their YouTube videos, I highly esteem both their public videos as well as the more intimate mythology of self and Jungian psychology of the app. 10/10 ### 5/5 — really good! *2026-08-08, version 6.3* the story is really immersive, and actually helped me more than I thought ### 5/5 — Lovely, enlightening, and beautiful *2026-08-07, version 6.3* As a very self-aware, reflective person, I had my doubts that a silly “choose your own adventure” type story app would do anything for me. But I found it truly enlightening at times, the way it phrases things so simply yet digs deep into your roots with every question. If nothing else, it forces a sort of active meditation as you use the app that is at once relaxing and clarifying. I always come out of it feeling, if not at peace (because sometimes it forces you to confront unsettling aspects of yourself or your life), then definitely feeling more at one with myself and with a better understanding of who I am and why. ### 5/5 — Hope is the Greatest Gift *2026-08-07, version 6.3* Betwixt has given me something I struggled to find, the ability to be present in uncomfortableness while having hope that it is just happening right now. The ability to stop, recognize I am not in a good space and know that it is going to be different at a different point in time is amazing. The app helps me at work when I get really stressed. I can take a break, sit on a bench outside, and put my headphones on while I walk through a dream sequence. It reinforces to be in the moment and because there are choices available in the app, I am reminded I have choices in the moment. The sequences also help remind me that everything is changing all the time and this moment will change. I am very grateful for the app and also the videos on YouTube. I think this is the first review I have ever left and it is very heartfelt. I am so grateful I have access to the app! ### 5/5 — Great for sorting yourself out some. *2026-08-07, version 6.3* I wouldn’t say it replaces a therapist, but it’s game play creates a safe quiet space where you explore a few complexities. Great if feeling are a scary subject you don’t like to deal with directly as well. ### 5/5 — Magical journey *2026-08-06, version 6.3* Even though I’m a veteran of years of psychotherapy, Betwixt helped me in a brand new and largely unconscious way. The pacing, the art and the way each step of the journey built on itself was brilliant. I was the lucky participant of a sponsored trip and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
