Highly recommend this for neurodivergent people
This has been the only app I have ever downloaded for mental health that I have stuck with this long. I’m only on day 21 but I can’t wait to see where it goes. I love my little fox companion and she brings me a lot of comfort. Getting to unlock things each day helps with my adhd motivation as well. I like how SIMPLE the app is and hope it does not sell out or become fast-paced or saturated in ads or notifications. The reason why it is working for me is because it DOESN’T have all of the noise and overstimulation that most of the internet has.
The only critique I have is that I wish AI wasn’t used so much in the making of it.
I do recommend trying this out though if you are neurodivergent, ESPECIALLY if you have AUDHD.

I think its super cute, super helpful, and relaxing
Well, I’m a journal-er at heart. This app is kinda like Finch and a journal had a really calm relaxing baby. You do have to pay for plus if you want the extra features (more clothes, adding feelings to your feelings roster, etc) but I just use the base app features and like it plenty. I’m someone who has a hard time reflecting on and processing through their emotions in real time, and without help, hence the writing it down. They give little lessons on emotions which I think is super cool and helpful, and terms to use to help you describe them outside of your typical “happy, sad, angry” and you get a little pet friend to go on your emotional adventure with. I genuinely enjoy this app

Helpful tool for those who struggle with regulation
I myself find it difficult to put a name for what I’m feeling in a moment. I know when I’m obviously happy/sad/angry, but it feels like I don’t really have a middle ground. This app has actually genuinely helped me slow down and process not only what I feel, but gives me the tools I need to identify it, name it and reflect on it, even if sometimes the emotions are bad. I did the 7 day trial and I think I might actually get the year subscription. When I first saw the ad for it I just clicked on it thinking I had nothing to lose anyways but I’m actually surprised with how helpful I’ve found this to be for me. If my experience sounds vaguely like something you also experience, why not give it a try? After all, you’ve got nothing to lose from trying it :)

Insightful and Calming
I was a longtime user of Finch but felt like it lost its way as it gained popularity. I wanted an app that put mental health front and center (and wasn’t increasingly problematic)so I went on a search for an alternative. I found Foxtale by an App Store recommendation and love it. At first I wanted to be able to add my own tasks, but now I’m thankful I can’t, as it prevents the to-do list feeling and keeps mental health as the focus. The check-ins with low/high, pleasant/unpleasant, and lack of neutral are very helpful for self awareness. The conversations fox has with animal friends are insightful and are added to your book to be revisited. I would love to see breathing exercises added to the Toolkit.

The best mental health buddy
I used a different self-help app with an animated character for years. That app has stepped away from its original goal of being a self-help and mental health app. Foxtale is everything that app set out to be. This app is the best self-help companion app that I have found for someone with neurodivergence. It is simple enough to not be overwhelming, but compelling enough to come back every single day sometimes multiple times a day to log my emotions and to better understand myself.
I want to thank the developers for creating this app and sticking true to what it is meant for.
