I love getting to talk to my finch and getting rainbow stones so I can buy stuff and I also love getting pets in the game. In conclusion, this game rocks. ### 5/5 — Helpful to grow stronger *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* I love how it is a fun way to accomplish everyday task that you would normally not like doing ### 5/5 — Very nice and fun app *2026-08-31, version 3.73.199* I have been on Finch for about 2 months now and I am still having fun. This app helps to keep me organized and accountable. I am able to reach goals to achieve rewards such as diamonds, clothes, and even furniture for My Finch’s home. I love being able to share reflections anytime of the day and it helps with my mood. If you are struggling with stay organized and procrastination … this is the app for you. ### 4/5 — Okay *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* Good for gamifying goals and check lists. The monthly events have been weird. ### 4/5 — If you need good habits! *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* The little birb is so cute :) it’s motivating! ### 5/5 — it’s good!🫶 *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* as a girl with adhd, I find this helpful with tracking but not my thoughts or mental health,and that was the goal I was looking for. It does get annoying but it is an Awsome app. To all the adhd people, I like it to stay organized, but not mental health. ### 5/5 — 100% recommended!! *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* The app is so adorable and genuinely helped me remember things I usually forget that are important, like drinking water and brushing my teeth everyday:) I love this app so much!💗🥹 ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* Awesome app. Helped motivate me when my mood was low. ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* Very good app and fun way to get in shape but the price is too much. £120 a year is too much. The app should be max £5/£10 purchase full game or about £1-£3 a month. ### 5/5 — Thank you Finch *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* Life changing app. Thank you ### 5/5 — Depresso Help *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* It really helps when you feel on a low.

I definitely recommend!! ### 4/5 — Two words *2026-08-30, version 3.73.199* Absolutely amazing ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* This app is so so helpful if you need to get stuff done and if you can’t remember it in your head ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not ok *2026-08-31, version 3.73.199* It could be alittle better for ppl if it helps ### 1/5 — Pronouns? *2026-08-30, version 3.73.201* 🤨 ### 1/5 — ⭐️FINCH EDITORS READ THIS!!!!! *2026-08-28, version 3.73.199* Okay so like it’s a really fun game and stuff and it’s cute, BUT IT’S NOT GIVING ME MY REWARDS. basically, I have invited AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE to Finch, and then convinced them to join!!!! So you’re welcome. BUT, I HAVE NOT GOTTEN A SINGLE REWARD FOR INVITING THEM. I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE BEAR HOODIE AND LIKE FINCH PLUSHY AND THE COW MICRO PET, but it didn’t give them to me. PLEASE contact me and give me my rewards. Or else…. ### 1/5 — SCAM…FREE TRIAL NOT FREE!!! *2026-08-24, version 3.73.197* Do not download this app!!! It claims to have a free trial but they will immediately bill you for the year subscription. Apple will not refund and developers won’t respond. Total money grabbing scam! ### 1/5 — Foxtale is better *2026-08-23, version 3.73.197* Idk why but they’ve gone from useful tool to useless game ### 1/5 — Great until you try to cancel at the end of the “7 day free trial” *2026-08-23, version 3.73.197* I canceled my “subscription” on the morning of the last day of my “7 day free trial” and was still subsequently charged for an entire year 10 days after said cancellation. ### 1/5 — Not like the ad *2026-08-22, version 3.73.197* I saw an ad where Finch gave the person a handful of cleaning tasks to complete every day to keep their house tidied up, but either I couldn’t figure out how to get that set up on the app or else it takes a longer period of time to add one task at a time, but either way, this app didn’t seem to work the way it was advertised. ### 1/5 — Not sure I’m going to keep paying for multiple accounts *2026-08-21, version 3.73.197* We have multiple accounts in my household. And not one of us have got the multi gifting option yet! Absolutely ridiculous! You’re about to lose 4 plus subscribers. ### 1/5 — Getting worse *2026-08-21, version 3.73.197* The ONLY thing that kept me opening the app and checking off tasks every day was to try and get the month’s micropet. Now it’s behind a $40-120 paywall… and the main feature of every screen is many lock graphics🔒. I used to be a paid user but fell on hard times. I guess that means I deserve progressively worse service from a self care app I’ve used almost every day for three years. Squeezing from both ends with all these corporate sponsors too… and I heard you’re not good to your designers. Sell out. ### 1/5 — lost all august seasonal event progress *2026-08-20* just got in on my daily check in app and found out that I lost all august event items, also event is not available and shows “Getting updates 0/0.8mb” can’t tell how much it sucks, if not fixed probably quitting 600+ streak ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is sooooo good *2026-09-01, version 3.73.201* Finch has helped me build habits stick to goals and it’s so cute! The only thing is the ads for plus. It gets in the way, but otherwise I love it, especially the events each month and the weekly check ins. The only problem for me is that the videos for the events and guardians aren’t loading? If you could fix that it would be amazing thank you Finch team!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-09-01, version 3.73.201* I love finch, it helps me with my routines and it is so cute! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* Amazing app ### 5/5 — 🌈🦄💖💗🌸 *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* I LOVE THIS!! YuO R DA BEST I 💖 THIS APP I FEEL SO ~AwEsOMEEE!! 🤪🤪 YOUR THE BEST SWIRLYPOP I LOVE THISSS APP 🌈🦄🦄🦄🦄 ### 5/5 — I LOVE FINCH *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* I think this is a really good app that helps me stay productive and not get overwhelmed with all my tasks ### 5/5 — How to get back in your daily routine *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* Finch helped me because or any of this I was a complete wreck and I think this atmosphere helped me to move on for a man and help me to understand how you’re able to get back in a routine because I was never Great being in a routine and it’s just such an amazing way to express yourself through something that helps you in mindfulness peaceful and a load of other things to. ### 5/5 — It works! *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* I didn’t think looking after a cute little pet would actually help me but the motivation is there. With a family who all have ADHD we need as much help as possible to keep us focused. Now we all use finch, send gifts and little reminders to each other to help us stay on track ### 5/5 — I have an idea *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* Finch devs, if you’re seeing this, PLEASE make it so you can make your own custom sound mixes. Even if it’s just a Plus feature, I don’t think it should, those who don’t have it can just only make mixes out of the free soundscapes. Also in the mixes can you please make it so you can customize how loud each soundscape in the mixes are. Etc: the Cozy Cuddles sound mix. I want to make the kitty sound louder. I can hardly hear him. So as I was saying before, add custom mixes. What if I wanted a farm mix with horses and cows and chicken and sheep. Along with maybe a quiet temperate rainforest in the background. I think the app is great, but could use some quality of life updates. ### 5/5 — Finch<3 *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* Finch helps me it’s a wonderful express my lesbian girl side and a good helper. ### 5/5 — Antonio’s first review *2026-08-31, version 3.73.201* It’s a great way to do fun things and get to do chores --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
