Confused but pleased

I was looking for an app to where I could journal and try and understand my emotions and Foxtale looked promising.
I Struggle with high anxiety and was trying to find productive ways to channel my energy and accomplish more during the day. That’s when I decided to give Foxtale a try. It’s similar to other virtual care pet apps but this is the first one that coaches and inspires people with emotional challenges. After several days I was really enjoying it and came daily to be encouraged, learning to see challenges not as obstacles but as pathways to improvement. Not being
able to Afford another premium app I declined their offer for Foxtail PLUS. But after being rewarded with 3 Foxtale PLUS days free, with no obligations I found being a PLUS user had its advantages. More clothing and furnishings available. More journeys. It was nice. Then when that ended I was given a shot at Foxtail PLUS at a really rock bottom price for being a loyal user for those 3 free days. Before I could say yes the offer disappeared and was replaced with a less optimal offer and my hope of getting Foxtale PLUS evaporated. Left confused and disappointed. It is however a great app and has real potential for those who can afford PLUS. It’s even great using the free version. I’m a little frustrated but will more than likely continue using Foxtale as hope for a less stressful tomorrow is something we all need.

MUST HAVE

I always wanted to be a planner/journal chick. But I could NEVER stick with a journal more than a few days: paper or digital.

I want to say I saw an ad on TikTok or FB in January, and thought, “What the heck? I can always delete the app in a few days.” When I tell you, I have only missed a few days and there are days that I make three and four entries! Because of how amazing the app is, I am FINALLY a journal girl!!!

For Gen X, think of Tamagachi. Only this time you can’t kill him! You can pet him to give him love and he’ll sometimes talk to you when you pet him. By making your journal entry for the day, doing side quests by helping other animals, entering affirmations and gratitude, you earn points. With these points, you can dress your fox to the nines (or twos, if that’s your thing) and give him the coolest pad!

I’m going through End of Days stuff because of my late alcoholic fiancé and them giving me free temporary access to the Plus features has meant more to me than they can never know!

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone involved in this app. It has literally saved my life a time of twi!!💜🙏💛📿💚🙇🏻‍♀️

Very helpful

I use Foxtale alongside Finch and I think the two complement each other a lot. The only criticism I have is the rewards added seem too much directly pulled from Finch.

Creative take on journaling of emotions

I have used multiple emotions journaling apps, and I like how Foxtale does not feel like a chore. It is fun and creative.

Great App

I’m a therapist, and I have ADHD, and I approve of this app from both perspectives. The lessons I’ve seen so far are clinically supported, the journaling follows an existing model, and while everything you need is free, the paid version I just got to preview offers both more fun fluff and more actual content reinforcement. It’s rewarding and attractive enough to have kept my attention for a month now without being a sprawling distraction of an app. It does two interrelated things and does them well, and you are rewarded for consistent engagement without stress or pressure.
