### 4/5 — Great app, one small gripe

*2026-08-11, version 2.57.0*

This app is great! I love the journaling and i love how sunny sees those journal entries and comes up with conversation topics based off of them. My one complaint is that, in order to see insights and recommendations based off chats with sunny, you have to have the subscription. I understand you guys need to make money to run this amazing app, but it's just a small nitpick that I think would be a great addition to the free version.

### 5/5 — heartwarming

*2026-06-11, version 2.54.0*

### 1/5 — A trap

*2026-07-11, version 2.55.1*

They’re just trying to get you hooked like Duolingo but without being helpful

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2026-06-11, version 2.54.0*

Hate to use

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-18, version 2.52.0*

I have tried many AI therapy apps and this has been one of the worst ones unfortunately. 
Would recommend to go somewhere else

### 1/5 — Why 14+

*2026-05-17, version 2.52.0*

I’m so upset that this app is 14+ I really want to use it but I can’t for another 4 years why flourish why 14+?????? 😭😭😭😭

### 1/5 — I tried it for a while but really bad UI

*2026-05-07, version 2.52.0*

I tried it and the interface is bad and couldn’t stick, too many bugs, and do not recommend it

### 1/5 — Extreme anxiety provoking and disappointing experience

*2026-04-12, version 2.51.0*

I used to turn to this app all the time. It was my space to clear my thoughts, to process things without judgment, and to get a response that wasn’t tied to family, friends, or expectations. It gave me a sense of independence in how I handled my emotions, and I trusted it in a way I didn’t fully realize until today.

Today has been especially difficult. I’ve been trying to navigate a lot emotionally, including my OCD, and I came back to the app multiple times just trying to ground myself and work through what I was feeling. And then, on the third time, I was suddenly met with a message I had never seen before: “you’ve run out of messages” and a prompt to “grow without limits” by purchasing “Flourish Plus.”

My stomach dropped.

What’s most upsetting isn’t just the paywall it’s the lack of warning, and the timing. This is an app that presents itself as a science-based mental health tool, something people rely on in vulnerable moments. To suddenly be locked out, right when I needed it most, felt jarring and honestly a little unsettling.

It made me realize how much I had come to depend on it as a support system and how fragile that support actually is when access can be cut off without notice. Mental health isn’t something that happens on a schedule or within limits, and it’s hard to reconcile that with being told I’ve essentially reached mine unless I pay.

I understand that apps need to sustain themselves. But when something positions itself as a mental health resource, there’s a certain level of care, transparency, and responsibility that users expect. Today, that trust was broken for me.

### 1/5 — Email support is Non existent

*2025-11-30, version 2.42.1*

I emailed over a week ago regarding an issue with logging in and never received any reply. Not impressed. The apps bells and whistles are pleasing but support is not. Too bad they hype themselves up to be such. Contrary to what they say, I have been unable to log into my account I opened on IOS on my Android device. Thank god I never subscribed. Time to move on sadly.

### 1/5 — App fails to work

*2024-12-14, version 2.21.1*

The app doesn’t even work, the “flourishing days” don’t update and it logs me out of my account every day for no reason.

### 2/5 — Improving my habits and wellbeing

*2026-04-24, version 2.51.0*

As an individual with down syndrome, and in adults, I would say that I was a mess before I wanna buy all these different wellness apps. I still live inside a timer, and then I also learned the other one was apps, and they were not the right fit for me, so I are Struggle to find what works for me and ultimately that there’s no hope for me at all and then at some point I just kept forgetting, and fell felt as though Like there was something wrong with me why can’t I remember things why life is so difficult and now I don’t know if there’s any app that can help with my management basically anything with with learning more about what’s out there in the App Store and then With the Gemini, I learned all these different wellness absent management systems and I kind of tried to test the mall and then I learned about Sunny Sunny. I just started to set up some more tiny habits like they haven’t but I have done for years and yet I keep forgetting. Brushing teeth, for example, and like forgetting things about riding in my planner already went to do list is simple things like these that I find very difficult because my brain has a cognitive delay in it’s really difficult and I can’t do all this on my own. I need an app that helps Promoting wellness so now I’m learning to take a look better care of myself and I am improving. I’m going to try it out and hopefully it works. I don’t know about the rating for this app. I just want to try it and see how it works but whoever developed it thank you for doing this because we need Apps to promote more wellness and just we kinda need that right now in this new era that were in so thank you

### 3/5 — Lovely when it works

*2026-01-02, version 2.44.1*

I have been using the app a few days now and when it works it’s great. The AI insights are on point and there are lots of tools to use as well as the base journal. However, sometimes the app is either incredibly slow to respond, freezes or just won’t get past the loading screen. The “share” functionality also won’t work properly eg I can’t send compliments to someone on WhatsApp. I’ve just subscribed for a month and I really hope these issues get ironed out.

### 5/5 — Getting better each month!

*2026-08-28, version 2.58.0*

I’ve been using the Flourish app since last year, and the app is getting better each month! Love Sunnie’s personalized nudges through notifications (thank you for holding me accountable, Sunnie!). And the new background music is so soothing!

### 5/5 — Amazing self help app

*2026-08-27, version 2.58.0*

This app has really helped me get through some tough and difficult times such as a long term relationship break up and my grandmothers death. It’s also helped me with day to day struggles like stress at work and things like that. I definitely recommend this app to anyone and everyone.

### 5/5 — Music and community

*2026-08-17, version 2.57.0*

I like the music in the background. Been using this about 9 months. Seeing the community comments about what they’re eating or doing makes me feel more connected and more energized to go do things too.

### 5/5 — Such a cute, helpful app!

*2026-08-14, version 2.57.0*

I am not one for paid apps but genuinely this one is worth the money! I have been using it consistently and it’s so nice to journal in and check in with my emotions. The toolkit activities are very helpful and I have also been enjoying the progressive muscle relaxation and breathing exercises at night. Overall this app is easy to use, adorable, calming, and very useful! I am keeping up with my daily routines and goals and look forward to journaling in the app daily! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Rating for Sunnie

*2026-08-13, version 2.57.0*

So I just got this app today, so far it’s going well still getting warmed up to it—I just hope it really helps bring back my confidence or at least my positivity mindset back, I can’t wait to see what the rest of this app has in store for me. 🖤

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-10, version 2.57.0*

So far this is a very helpful app that allows you to really just put how you feel into it. No judgment, just a great app that builds your confidence, shifts your emotional outlook and also perspective on things. I’d really recommend. 🥰🥰

### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2026-08-07, version 2.57.0*

Wow, I hardly ever write reviews. But this game deserves it. It has a calming vibe to it, and it makes interacting with prompts rewarding. It also makes it easy to journal really quickly during the day, so it’s nice for a quick release! 

And it comes with a free version that isn’t lame, and I’m enjoying it. I’m honestly thinking about committing and subscribing.

### 5/5 — Sunnis is amazing

*2026-08-06, version 2.57.0*

I’ve never felt so heard and actually listened to in my entire life sunny offers, actual advice and help and she actually listens even though she is artificial intelligence, she’s still understands how to help you cope and help you reach out better and if you mention anything about like distress with a family member or your parents, she asks if you were feeling safe in the relationship and safe at home

### 5/5 — A ray of sunshine when life is difficult

*2026-07-26, version 2.56.2*

I am currently struggling with health issues, including losing weight and facing a knee replacement soon. I also have some anger issues and have trouble sleeping.
I have just been placed on GLP one weight loss medication and that has given me hope that my life can improve. Finding Flourish has helped me organize these emotions and find ways to declutter my mind and put my thoughts and emotions in order. When I talk with Sunnie, a cheerful Sun who shares insight and helpful hints I come away with a plan and a goal. Sunnie is there whenever I need help. The app is easy to navigate and can help put things in perspective when you have trouble doing it for yourself. There’s a free version and for more in-depth insight there’s premium

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend！

*2026-07-24, version 2.56.2*

Flourish has been a wonderful part of my daily routine. The app is beautifully designed, easy to use, and genuinely helps me stay mindful and manage stress. Highly recommend it!
