Content is Stellar, Improvements Could Happen

I would like an export function for the responses. Beyond that, this checks every box I could ask for and I have no complaints on function.

I love that I’m not locked into a feeling. I’m not a single-color-bubble person and this app doesn’t force you to be. The history is nice and I’ll be interested to see trends.

This isn’t a task app, which was crucial for me. I tried Finch and just couldn’t make it work for me.

But this? I feel very little pressure so it’s more comfortable to talk. Sometimes I’m short and sometimes I ramble. Foxtale doesn’t make anything good or bad. There’s no streak. There’s… nothing but support.

I often have issues feeling talked down to by mental health apps. Especially when it comes to anxiety symptoms. I have had the exact opposite experience with Foxtale. I truly do love it.

My therapist is also, coincidentally, in love with it. So have a double recommendation. :)

BEST FREE THERAPY APP

I didn’t have high expectations but this app has really supported me through a difficult time. It’s a fun and free daily activity, can’t recommend it enough

So helpful

Amazing!

I’ve been using this for a few weeks and I’ve already noticed a difference in how I handle emotions. I also like how the colors and the overall tone of the app isn’t in your face like others. The gentle colors are relaxing and the fox is adorable!! Love this more than Finch!

Cute & helpful

I am really liking this app so far! I chose grief as my first topic, and it’s been really comforting seeing my little fox help others who are grieving as I am grieving a loss irl. Surprisingly validating seeing it written that you can grieve someone who is still alive.

Also, the decor is super cute. I’ve been collecting the apple-themed furniture to decorate my fox’s room, and that brings me a lot of joy :)
