Please download this!

I’ve never enjoyed an app so much. If you struggle to understand what’s within, please get this app. It makes it so easy to be able to open and write down things and openly express myself. Foxtale is hands down one of the most calming apps I’ve ever downloaded. Please invest in this.

Helpful

This calming game helped me overcome my anxiety and learn new strategies to help. It is so relaxing and makes multiple simple tasks to help me feel progress.

I enjoy the app

I’ve been using it daily, very mindful and good advice. Cute and fun customization.

Love the app… not the ads

Edit to add:
~I am keeping the original text for transparency, but I’m happy to say they listened and swiftly corrected the situation. While bullying was not the intent, they agreed it was not fair play. I will continue using both finch and Foxtale as they are both well produced apps and I’ve found success in using them to manage my productivity and emotional awareness respectively. ~


I like the app, it provides what I started needing compared to finch. Mind you, Finch is GREAT for keeping me accountable for my tasks and self care, it absolutely saved my life, but I needed to get more in touch with my emotion. I’m vibing with Foxtale so far, and almost bought the pack actually… until I saw an ad. I don’t feel like I can trust an app labeled as self care when their ads feel like a smear campaign. You should be able to uplift yourself and your product without needing to tear others down. The ads genuinely felt like the kind of bullying you see between students running for class President. Currently on the fence about sticking with this app, or going through other Reddit recommendations.

Instagram Brought Me Here

I saw this app on instagram and I was attracted by the simple illustrations of the characters. The app feels like a living journal. I enjoy waiting for my fox to deliver my journal entry and listening to the mentor at the end. One piece of advice that I am still using at the start of my experience with Foxtale is “I am not my thoughts”.

Great app!

This helps helps lower your mood by helping you understand your emotions better. You not only journal but you learn something from journaling. The prompts already come written out which helps! It’s a good app and is really calming. Download it to see for yourself ☺️💕

So cute

I just got it and love it so much, foxes are my favorite animal which is a big motivator for why I got it, a fox companion? YES PLEASE

Finch for emotions!

I love this app! I truly appreciate that it gives you references of the information it is giving you so you can see it is based on research! Plus my fox is just adorable

Hiii this is Violet

Foxtail is so fun and the fox is cute and it’s just so calming❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Happy

A game changer for my mental health journey

Ive been looking forward to using this app every day, even when I’m feeling down. I love the mood tracking, it challenges you to put a name to your emotions which really helps me process what I’m feeling. Not to mention, it’s adorable. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and already feel like I’m making improvements in my mental health habits.

Love this game

I don’t like apps that much but I added this as a widget on my phone, journal twice a day, and it tracks my emotions and why. It’s pretty freaking cool. Plus reminds me of animal crossing. Cute characters that you help understand yourself with by talking to. You get to decorate your room, and customize your character. 1000/10 recommend

❤️❤️❤️

I love Foxtale! This app is so helpful. It helps my mental and physical health.

Great app

Very welcoming about understanding emotions. I wish I could’ve found this app when I needed it months ago, but I’m glad I found it now.

I’m enjoying myself

I’ve been happy using this. It motivates me to look at myself and how I can improve. And the price isn’t crazy high like I was worried about.

Great app!

I find foxtale to be a great option to guide your journaling for free because it teaches you about emotions lets you look back at previous emotions and lets you customize what you do when you do and its great! The only bad thing about it is the minor spelling mistakes but those are very tiny

Brilliant

This one drew me in cause I love foxes, and like I struggle with all the things this App is supposed to help with, and I’m loving it so far, it explains emotions, and helps make reflection and acceptance of oneself easier and more comprehensible! If you struggle with your emotions at all this is a good outlet for them as well.

Finch but journaling

If you like the finch app this is almost exactly the same thing but for journaling and developing emotional maturity.

Beyond helpful

My best friend told me about this app while I was in an intensive outpatient program. I have a hard time journaling, there are years where I can journal really well in Books and on my iPad, but there are seasons that it’s much more difficult. This has been a joyful way to be able to track my progress, as well as learned a lot of very helpful strategies and reminders.

The best

The best so far that has helped me a lot I love this i recommend to anyone

Actually, genuinely helpful

I’ve been using Finch for a couple years and this is definitely a copycat, but in a way where I use both. It’s not replacing anything.

I’ve also been actively working on my mental health for years now, and this app was giving me new info within the first few days. I’ve been using it for two weeks and have no plans to stop. It’s made me aware of some trends that I didn’t realize I had, and it expressly says it’s not a replacement for therapy, but it’s been more useful to me than 95% of talk therapy has been.

It sure feels like a new app compared to finch, though. And yep. The first review was in Dec 2025. It needs some free tier expansion imo but I get they’re just trying to make money. They do have a survey I’ve filled out for what suggestions on new features and what you want to see next, and I’ve told them my ideas, so we’ll see what happens.
