## What is Echo?

Echo is a breakup recovery companion built around a research-informed 90-day healing program. It combines structure, reflection, and small daily actions so you can feel grounded, regain momentum, and move forward one day at a time.

Instead of overwhelming you, Echo gives you a clear path:
A 90-Day Program That Meets You Where You Are. A step-by-step recovery path designed for real life. Each phase helps you stabilize, process emotions, and rebuild healthy routines with small, consistent actions.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
Today — Your Daily Practice:
Short morning and evening exercises drawn from CBT, ACT, and attachment theory. Spot your triggers, quiet the thought spirals, and understand your patterns — in five minutes a day.

No Contact Tracker:
Track your streak in real time. Log resists and relapses without shame. Set your own goal — 7, 30, 90 days — and get gentle support during the 2 a.m. urges.

Journal + Discover:
Open writing plus 300+ guided prompts, curated for where you are — anger, rumination, anxious attachment, identity loss, closure, and rebuilding self-worth.

Letters You'll Never Send:
Say the thing you couldn't. Write the goodbye you didn't get. Get it out of your head — safely, privately, with no risk of hitting send.

The Garden:
A living reflection of your consistency. Every check-in, entry, and no-contact day grows something. A quiet reminder that healing is happening.

Echo Chat and Call:
Chat or call support that actually knows your story. Echo draws on your journal entries, check-ins, and patterns to help you understand yourself more clearly — why this trigger keeps showing up, what your reflections reveal about your attachment style, where you've grown since week one. Not generic advice. A companion that's been paying attention.

WHY IT WORKS
Echo is designed around approaches used in evidence-based emotional skills work, including CBT and ACT principles:

Naming thoughts and feelings clearly
Reducing rumination loops
Building acceptance and self-trust
Taking values-aligned action, one day at a time

Users in this category consistently look for:
Structured programs (not just open-ended chat)
No-contact accountability
Guided journaling
Visible progress over time
Echo is built around exactly those needs.

PRIVACY & CONTROL
Your story is yours.
We ask for clear consent before messages are used with AI providers, and we keep control in your hands.

Echo is for reflection and emotional support. It is not therapy or medical care.
If you’re in crisis, contact local emergency services or a trusted person immediately.

### 5/5 — Who knew

*2026-08-11*

I was skeptical when I first signed up for this app. It sees things that we know internally, but may not be able to identify our patterns. It also gives reassurance, and it helps to celebrate you and your wins when you may not see them as clearly as you should.

### 5/5 — Starting no contact

*2026-07-25*

I love the talk to text feature makes the journaling much easier.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Happy to hear talk-to-text makes journaling easier for you. Good luck with no contact, we're rooting for you ❤️

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2026-07-05*

I have used online journaling before but this is different. It is AI based which may put some
people off but I have been pleasantly surprised by how good and useful it is - if you forget you’re talking to a robot. I really recommend giving it a go, it’s helping me through my current break up and I know for sure I’ll feel much differently in 90 days.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for this. "If you forget you're talking to a robot" made us smile, and honestly, that's the goal: the AI is only there to help you hear yourself better. We're a small team, and knowing the app is helping you through your break up means a lot. We're rooting for you over the next 90 days. Thanks for recommending us.❤️

### 3/5 — Great app, but daily white screen glitch is a problem

*2026-06-28*

This app is really good and has been a helpful tool for my healing journey, but there is a consistent glitch that makes it frustrating to use daily. Every time I open the app, I get a blank white screen and cannot access anything inside. I have to turn my phone completely off and restart it just to get in - and this happens multiple times a day. For an app that's meant to be used consistently, this is a major barrier. Please fix this ASAP.

**Developer response:** Hi Jules, thank you for this. Knowing the app has been part of your healing journey means a lot to us, and we're so sorry the white screen got in the way of that. Having to restart your phone several times a day is a lot to ask of anyone. The bug is fixed now. Update to the latest version and the app should open normally every time. We're a small team, and reviews like yours tell us exactly what to fix first. If it ever comes back, reach out through the app's support option and we'll take care of it right away. Thanks for sticking with us.❤️

### 5/5 — Fresh and valuable features

*2026-06-18*

Definitely a very fresh user experience with useful integrated features.

### 5/5 — Finally Moving On

*2026-06-18*

No contact is what you suppose to do!!

### 5/5 — Finally moving on..

*2026-06-15*

I never thought I would stop checking his profile every hour but here we are lol. This app genuinely helped me move forward.

**Developer response:** Hi Kristi, "but here we are lol" made our day. Going from checking every hour to moving forward is real progress, and you did that. We're a small team and replies like yours are why we keep building. So happy for you ❤️

### 5/5 — Actually helped me stop crashin out

*2026-06-15*

ngl I thought this was gonna be another AI app I’d delete in 5 mins. But it lowkey kept me from texting my ex and doom scrolling every night. Having somewhere to vent with no judgment and getting reminded why I started no contact made a huge difference. First app that felt like it actually got what I was going through.

**Developer response:** ngl this review made our week. Staying no contact and off the doom scroll is all you, we just gave you somewhere to put it. Small team here, and this is exactly why we build. Keep going ❤️

### 5/5 — thank u sm for making this app

*2026-06-04*

some of the journal worksheets really made me think about my relationship w ex, the app also made me learn about my triggers and patters. i didnt expect it but def worth a subscription! plus the garden is amazingzzzzz

### 1/5 — No free option

*2026-06-03*

Before you jump into this, there is no free option. It’ll allow you a three day free trial and that’s it. I couldn’t get past the requiring a subscription part.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for taking the time to write this, and we're sorry the subscription wall stopped you before you could really experience the app. That's a disappointing first impression and we understand it completely. We're a small team, and the AI behind every conversation costs us money, which is why we started paid-only. 

But we hear you, and we have good news: a free version is coming soon. We'd truly love for you to give the app another chance when it's out. Thank you for the honest feedback, it genuinely helps us.❤️
