A big help
This app at first was just cutesy. The longer I’ve played it though, the more it’s helped me to understand what I’m feeling and how to deal with those feelings
best app i’ve ever downloaded
i don’t usually take time out of my day to leave positive reviews for things, but this one app in particular has been so helpful for me. i’m absolutely going through it right now, and this cute little fox is a small part of my day that helps me feel better about myself. it’s like they thought of everything. they call the tasks “side quests,” taking away all the pressure of it really being a form of a to-do list. the emotional education and advice is actually really good. the prompts you can answer throw you a gem from time to time that makes you think “this is exactly what i needed to address right now.” and this is all the FREE features. i can’t afford therapy. i can barely afford to live, but this little fox doesn’t want my money. it just wants me to be happy

Love 💖
I love this, my only issue is I wish you didn’t have to pay for plus to add more than three prompts, because they’re all really good and they would be helpful to have. I understand the coin bonuses and the extra clothes and stuff being plus but not the prompts. The journaling prompts are the reason I downloaded and possibly the reason many other people chose to download. Other than that it’s super cute and very helpful 💖

I’ve Actually Stuck with it
I’m loving Foxtale - it has lots of features that make it much more accessible and enjoyable than many other similar apps.
Most importantly, the structure of journal entries and reflection is really good - there’s no wimping out with neutral answers and you can really journal as much or as little as you want. The prompts are a really helpful start point and I am genuinely noticing, reflecting and then actively managing my own emotions and reactions so much more.
The ‘books’ that you use to go on a journey are nicely paced with helpful exercises and I appreciate that sources are often references. The format is repetitive and simple but in a good way - some content is a little repetitive but in a way that reinforces it so it doesn’t feel boring or over emphasised. It’s also well spaced out so it feels like it’s genuinely reinforcing rather than just hammering a few select points.
In terms of accessibility, this feels easily accessible to young teens and above, and possibly young children with a high enough maturity. While it’s accessible to younger people, the content remains relevant to all ages and it’s never felt patronising.
There are periodic ‘events’ that run for a set time and each day you log in you get a day further down the reward track. Unlike other apps, you don’t need to log in every single day and you can miss a few without making it unachievable to complete the track.
There are incentivising rewards for making an entry each day, but no negatives for missing a day, which is a big plus!
I’ve actually enjoyed dressing up my little fox and his bedroom because it’s achievable to buy items but equally you have to put some effort and consistency in if you want to save up to afford the more expensive rare things.

genuinely a life-changing app
i never leave reviews for ANYTHING, but i had to for this app. i am someone who chronically over-intellectualizes everything i feel, and this app is PERFECT. the prompts are so thoughtful, the setup of choosing your emotions and what’s causing them really makes you stop and experience your emotions. i’ve genuinely been stopped in my tracks and reevaluated the way i view things by some of the prompts. the lessons are extremely well-done, a much deeper than a lot of surface-level “don’t stress things you can’t change!” mental health advice; they really break down why concepts work and make it easy to apply to your own life. truly a gem of an app
