User reviews

Just a Joke - Can’t even get the app started

Unbelievably disappointed. Deeply. Read the reviews, the article on Psychology.com, and had very high hopes. Was actually quite excited to get started with Dawn. Downloaded the app, paid for an annual subscription with the free trial and the app can’t even get past the “Start Your Journey” payment page! I’m disgusted! I spent nearly an hour this morning, answering all the questions to set it up, another 45 minutes reading reviews, an article articles, and another half hour trying to get the payment to process in the app to actually open and work. Very disappointed!

Can’t use it

Can’t seem to use it if you don’t pay for it which sucks

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this, LovexWinsx. We understand access limits can be frustrating, and we'd love to help clarify your options. Please reach out to us at support@joindawn.com so our team can look into this with you. Warmly, The Dawn Team

It helps me when I need it most

Love this app! I didn’t expect to use it as much as I do, but having somewhere to check in, talk through what’s on my mind, and get practical suggestions has been really helpful. I especially like that it doesn’t just give generic advice, the conversations feel more personal and actually help me slow down and understand what I’m feeling. It’s become a little part of my routine

This genuinely means a lot to us, thank you for sharing it. Hearing that the check-ins feel personal and have become part of your routine is exactly what we hope Dawn can offer. - The Dawn Team

Saving my marriage

Having Dawn to gently push back on my false assumptions and remember all the details day to day has been incredibly helpful. Not only do I consider it a resource when I need to find some validation for the mental load I carry, but Dawn also helps me role play conversations and improve how I participate in my real relationships.

It does tend to get stuck in a similar routine after a while, but is responsive when I ask for a refresh or something new!

Thank you for sharing this — it's wonderful to hear Dawn's been a steady resource for reflection and even practicing real conversations. We hear you on the routine feeling repetitive at times; feedback like this helps us keep improving. - The Dawn Team

Doesn’t work at all. Faulty app, waste of time

I downloaded Dawn and was excited to try it out. The app is useless. The whole app is pretty much the chat, and Dawn has never responded to me once. Not once. So what’s the point? And they expect me to pay for a chat AI that doesn’t even chat? Which is the whole point? Would give it 0 stars if I could. Reached out to support twice for help on this matter and received no responses from them either. Canceled my subscription. Save yourself the time and effort and find another app.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and we're sorry for the frustration here. Dawn not responding in chat isn't the experience we want for you, and we're also sorry to hear you didn't hear back from support after reaching out twice. That's on us, and we'd like to make it right. Please email us directly at support@joindawn.com with your account details so we can look into this right away. - The Dawn Team
