### 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

### 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 — I will recommend it to my friends.

*2021-04-11*

What is an awesome app . It graphic so good . There is no aid in this app . I take alwas help this application.

### 5/5 — This app is working great for me.

*2021-04-11*

Mental strong test is best and reliable app to know about the braining of kids like how their brain work.

### 5/5 — It hasn’t disappointed me even once.

*2021-04-08, version 2.0*

This app deserves more than a 5-star rating but that's the best rating I could give. Absolutely amazing. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Best app I own!

*2021-04-08, version 2.0*

I really like to use This app, it brings many benefits when using it. It is absolutely a great app that I will recommend to my dear friends. I look forward to more new apps like this, thank you so much.

### 5/5 — If I was you I would download it as fast as I can.

*2021-04-06, version 2.0*

It is a full package of mindfulness. It is a simple app with beautiful illustrations. You can also save your kids’ feelings and keep track of them.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-04-06, version 2.0*

My daughter loves Feelu. We referred to this app many times when talking about her feelings and what she should do to calm herself down.

### 5/5 — Can't compare

*2021-04-06, version 2.0*

I love the fact that it can keep track of kids’ feelings. You can go back and review their emotions! Also feeling game was lovely and very practical. Teaches little ones about their feelings in a playful way! Love it!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!!

*2021-04-06, version 2.0*

I believe “handle bullying” can help many children these days! It shows how kids can react to bully safely. Even the Kindness section can help this issue!

### 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

### 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!

### 1/5 — Asked me to pay again after I reinstalled it cause it crashed

*2022-01-30, version 5.1*

The music stopped working. The app got much many sudden crashes after the updates. 

I felt very sad.

I re installed the app. 

Now, first time in apple history
a paid app is asking me to pay again. 

Originally the app was a paid app in a got if for 1.99 

Now it’s a free app with an app in purchase
And they asking for the 1.99 second time around (promising not to ask again this time) 

And the music still doesn’t work even for “sad free content” even after I reinstalled the app.

Restore button doesn’t work.

It crashes as soon as the “feelings” chapter is hit, let alone “sad” or “happy” “free” content... reminding I already paid for the app a year ago. 

Wednesday Thursday Friday 

I feel angry, FeelU

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2021-11-21, version 4.1*

You only have a very small amount of things to do

### 1/5 — Deceptive

*2021-10-27, version 4.1*

It’s free to download but in order to try anything you hav to pay.  And the scary piece is that every option ask for payment.

### 1/5 — Don’t fall

*2019-09-30, version 1.2*

They have only one example for each feeling and only  three situations for games. It’s a ripoff. Don’t fall for these. They are targeting desperate parents

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2021-05-18, version 2.0*

This strengthened my children's ability to express their emotions!

### 5/5 — Really love it!

*2021-05-18, version 2.0*

The Feelu app features vibrant illustration that successfully captures a wide range of emotions. Feelings should be shared and discussed. Perfect for young ones highly recommend for parents to have a better understanding with their children’s feelings

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-05-17, version 2.0*

It's a great way to remind yourself and your children that things can get better, and keeping track of their feelings will help you find out what's important.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-05-17, version 2.0*

It really helps me assess my kid how they are feeling and find things they need to improve.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2021-05-17, version 2.0*

I just downloaded the Feelu app and i'm looking forward to using it with my kids.

### 5/5 — Can't compare

*2021-04-17, version 2.0*

A keeper! This app is so so beautiful and very well explained! Me and my kids are having bonding time after their school, it’s a great alternative for those games in the top 10 list!

### 5/5 — I appreciate it.
