I got this on a lifetime offer- I do not approve of subscription based apps and would not pay for a subscription for this or pretty much any app, but I do like that a one-time purchase option is available. If purchasing it as a one-time fee there is a decent amount of content, and the illustrations and music/variety of sounds are pleasant. I really like the purring cat. I really do NOT like either of the voices, they are too breathy and though they are real human voices they sound a bit forced, so not as relaxing. BUT you can mute any voice in the sound settings, and just listen to the background music. ### 3/5 — During setup the options disappear before selecting making you press randomly on the screen *2024-12-23, version 3.2* Buggy from the outset ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-11-29, version 3.1* Did the first day’s readings, but it won’t let me go to day two. And the sleep meditations didn’t work for me. Feel like I wasted my money for nothing. ### 1/5 — Can’t access programs *2024-08-27, version 2.8* Today I cannot access the programs ### 1/5 — Poor app *2024-07-30, version 2.8* Problems with account, login, have to reboot my iPhone and dig around this app just to find a login screen, finally get in and it won’t show me the plan I had in place. Frustrating to no end, not helping my mental health. I am going to cancel. ### 2/5 — I want to love this app… but *2024-06-30, version 2.7* The concept is great, the organisation of the app is good, however: - it’s a very glitchy app - some parts don’t load at all - the audio does not always play smoothly - their are some audio editing issues that need addressing I hope these will be rectified soon as this is a paid to use app and not free. ### 3/5 — Potential is lost for me—no CC option *2024-06-07, version 2.6* I am someone who struggles with audio processing and I absolutely require that I can see the text of the words spoken to retain the information. So, the lessons are lost, because I can’t fully hear them. Otherwise, I think this app has a lovely interface and lots of good information and support. Just not inclusive for all nuerodivergent types. Which is unfortunate, since it’s there to also help people with ADHD. ### 1/5 — Free trial is a scam *2024-05-22, version 2.5* Unable to properly try it out - the 7 day free trial is a scam. If you sign up for it, then cancel in iOS settings (to prevent forgetting auto-renew), you’re supposed to still get the 7 film days till it expires but the next time you launch the app (in my case a couple hours later) it prompts you to buy premium again, and there is no “restore purchases” option anywhere. ### 1/5 — Lifetime $0.00 fraud *2024-05-01, version 2.4* The option for the Lifetime $0.00 brings up the screen for the $19.99 monthly Subscription. Glad I read it before I signed up for a monthly subscription plan. Clearly a bait and switch developer. Deleted. ### 1/5 — 之前限免 *2024-04-16* 之前限免入，怎么恢复谢谢 **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please reach out to our support team at help@mentalfuture.com and provide your account email so they can assist you. ### 3/5 — App won’t start *2024-03-22* It opens but stays stuck on the first screen ### 1/5 — Too slow *2024-02-24, version 2.3* The videos made me not like this app. The talking is too slow and a video that is only 4 minutes long feels like 8. Just doesn’t work for me. ### 1/5 — Trial isn’t real *2024-01-25, version 2.3* Thought I’d check this out. Started the trial to see what it was like over the 7 day period. Thought it was ok but cancelled the trial after two days because I have a lot of bills coming out around this time. It was stated that I would have full access to the programs until my initial 7 day trial ended. However, that’s not the case and I’ve been locked out. It’s a shame because I was thinking of getting the annual program but I have issues with this type of deception. Can’t recommend based on 2 days use but the basic premise is explanations of the topic you’re interested in having more success with and a lot of affirmations. If you want to save some money, I guess you could listen to a relevant, up to date podcast and then write down your own affirmations and repeat them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Steal your money *2025-12-29, version 3.6* I cancelled during the trial period in December 2023, but they have continued to take payments from my account for 2 subsequent years. I have mailed repeatedly without response - send me my money back and delete my details from your system! ### 1/5 — App not opening *2025-10-21, version 3.6* App recently updated and now it is not loading past the splash screen. Have deleted the app and redownloaded it but still it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — “Anex iety” *2025-07-07, version 3.5* This app is frustrating. I’ll be deleting it after this review. You can’t have a therapy app that cannot pronounce “anxiety” properly. In addition the audio pacing is far too slow, the background segments are far too short, and the instructions are too wordy. I think the voice is AI generated because several of the pronunciations are off, but the most glaring is the pronunciation of anxiety as “anex-iety” which is just frustrating. The app has potential but needs some serious work overall. ### 1/5 — Stealing data? *2025-07-06, version 3.5* Paid app, and not cheap at all… yet the developers need ALL your personal data? And linked to the user? Insane the greed of some people. And we’re talking about a very sensible type of app and data ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-07-06, version 3.5* Was supposed to be lifetime free on Appvice… no way to activate. Worthless… deleted! ### 1/5 — False claim of lifetime promotion *2025-07-05, version 3.5* I received offer your lifetime from AppAdvice and after going through the whole boarding process, the app would not allow me to purchase the life time pro as advertised. ### 1/5 — Don’t fall for “free” come-on! *2025-07-05, version 3.5* I found this app via AppAdvice’s daily “free app” listing, offering a lifetime subscription for free today only. I followed the instructions given for said “free” subscription, but the “free” option isn’t there. Don’t fall for it! ### 1/5 — Error in IAP *2025-07-05, version 3.5* I tried to redeem the lifetime offer but instead got charged $20 for the monthly subscription ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-03-13, version 3.3* The app is just a bunch of recorded tracks, and honestly they sound like chatgpt wrote them. ### 1/5 — Shady people *2024-12-23, version 3.2* Currently offering the lifetime for free … if you can find it. They use every dirty trick in the book to hide it. They require an email address and try to collect every bit of private information they can. I will delete this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — gяєαт *2025-05-31, version 3.5* ѕσυη∂ѕ ### 5/5 — 中文 *2025-03-22, version 3.4* 不错的应用要是能加入简体中文那就更棒啦 ### 5/5 — Looks amazing *2024-12-23, version 3.2* Looks amazing a genuine good therapy app for cognitive behavioural therapy just got lifetime from AppAdvice Can’t wait to try it ### 5/5 — 中文 *2024-12-14* 亲爱的开发者同志，软件是非常棒哒，要是能出中文版就更好啦，谢谢 **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please reach out to our support team at help@mentalfuture.com and provide your account email so they can assist you. ### 5/5 — App won’t start *2024-03-24, version 2.4* It opens but stays stuck on the first screen *update fixed. A very great meditation app. ### 5/5 — Life changer *2024-01-23, version 2.3* I have struggled with binge eating for a decade. After changing my medications and listening to the affirmations, hypnosis, and CBT track - I have felt more in control of myself than I have EVER felt. THANK YOU to the developers - you have no idea what you’ve done for me. 💙 ### 5/5 — Amazing- CBT works! *2023-12-04, version 2.1* I've been tuning in to their CBT daily while driving. Can't literally close my eyes, but practicing visualization and their breathing techniques during various meditations has been effective. Stress and anxiety levels dropped significantly with their CBT, understanding core beliefs versus reality, suggestions on perceptions, workbooks, and meditations. It's been particularly helpful in navigating a breakup, distinguishing negative thoughts from probable reality, gaining a logical perspective instead of being stuck emotionally. Guided positive visualization with uplifting music, a soothing voice, and slow breathing is scientifically beneficial. Our mental and physical health play a crucial role in success, and focusing on mental well-being is mostly take care of by Mental Future. It’s an inexpensive therapist at your fingertips. Even better if you combine that with a therapist! Highly recommend it, if you want to be at the top we need to start refining ourselves mental future helps me in my business life, to be the best person I can be! ### 5/5 — A great way to calm intrusive thoughts *2023-09-15* I felt a noticeable shift in my mindset after just a few sessions. I'm impressed of the quality of the sounds as well. I hope they add some more music though, perhaps longer tracks as well. ### 5/5 — Great customer service *2023-09-15* I had some problems with my account initially so I reached out to support and was surprised at the quick reaction of the customer service. Not sure what the effects of hypnotherapy should be but the truth is I really enjoy listening to these recordings and I feel like my mind is at ease afterwards. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-09-15* At first, I was skeptical about using a CBT app, believing therapy should be reserved for face-to-face sessions with a professional. Yet, in just a week with the app, I've seen progress that took me a year of weekly sessions to achieve. The CBT concepts explained here are really easy to understand and practice. Plus, I can use the app daily, whereas traditional therapy for me is only once a week. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
