### 2/5 — What does this app even do?

*2023-09-01, version 7.3*

I am an adult, recently diagnosed with ASD. I was looking for an app to help me develop emotional regulation skills. 
My attempts to explore this app only made me more agitated. There are no instructions or tutorial. Everything I touch makes a seemingly random number encased in a heart flash in the upper right corner and increase in digits for no apparent reason. Touching the heart does nothing, but everything else on the screen influences the heart. All the “activities” seem to do is raise that number, but these activities don’t actually do anything. “Calm down” opens some cards with images of the mascot doing different activities- when I touch the activities the pictures rotate in place, but there are no instructions and they just rotate back in place again. No further development. All the other activities are the same. “Feelu words” provides a short mantra and then instructs you to touch Feelu’s heart to “explore the feeling world,” but then just takes you back to the menu. 
When I’m having a bad day, I’m not looking to struggle to understand the tools that are meant to help me.
This app left me far more upset than I was to begin with.

### 1/5 — Problème de payement

*2023-08-25, version 7.3*

J’ai déjà acheté l’application 
Après ils ont fait une mise à jour et me demande de payer chaque mois
C’est ridicule

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-08-04, version 7.2*

Terrible interface. Download something else. Doesn’t help children

### 5/5 — Great! But one thing…

*2023-06-20, version 7.1*

Is a great app! I recommend. But just remove the noise when you click the wrong colour in the colour by number.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2023-01-16, version 6.1*

My major complaint is that I paid for the full app but when I needed to remove it from my phone and I wanted to add it back later, it would let me restore my purchase.  I’m definitely not paying again.

### 3/5 — Premium really!

*2022-08-04, version 6.1*

When I downloaded this I thought it would be premium free but it’s not. I thought we would be able to play ALLLLLL the games. Please no premium because my family has not got the many to pay you evry week. Please could the games be ALLLLLL free and premium for like adding dinfrent types of games. I will definitely give this once it happens a 5 star. I’m not going to play the game until this review is answered because I want this badly ( so badly I’m crying 😭) so please plllllllllllllleeeeease make this happen

### 1/5 — No sound only 10 min of activity

*2022-06-18, version 6.1*

The biggest waste of $6 honestly so dissatisfied there is no sound no matter what I do so I had to read everything to my child and we finished all of the games in 10 minutes I do not understand how this has such a good rating!

### 1/5 — Can’t restore my purchase!

*2022-06-15, version 6.1*

I have purchased this app while using my iPhone, and now trying to restore my purchase app on my new iPad, the restore button on your app is not functioning! And there is no contact info on you website to solve this problem! Little help here!

### 3/5 — This App Has Great Potential

*2022-04-02, version 5.2*

This app has great potential. But it feels like it’s not complete. It would be great if the calm down exercises were actually interactive and if there was more than a couple games. It also feels strange that the games don’t finish, you just go backwards and forwards. Otherwise this would be a really wonderful tool to be able to use for my child.

### 5/5 — So far so good.

*2022-02-12, version 5.1*

I am looking forward to using this with my daughter and my students.
