### 2/5 — Good Idea, Poor Functionality

*2026-03-11, version 2.0.0*

The app/email interface is redundant and it’s difficult to set up an account password. Like the app concept but poor execution.

### 2/5 — Ads + Subscription

*2026-03-04, version 2.0.0*

I used to write myself every year for my future self but now i gotta pay..? Not much but it’s a message…

### 1/5 — You ruined this app

*2026-02-17, version 2.0.0*

I’ve been using this app since 2019. SEVEN YEARS. I have made so many letters for myself. I would write a letter every time I was feeling down and this app truly has helped me. Now I have to pay for letters that I have been writing for free for 7 years is insane and so unfair since I have been supporting this app for years. I am so disheartened over this and will be finding another way to send free letters to myself.

### 1/5 — Paywall ruined this app

*2026-02-12, version 2.0.0*

Someone lmk when yall screw your heads back on right.

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-02-01, version 2.0.0*

The new update is terrible

### 1/5 — App has converted to website with ads even with subscription

*2026-01-22, version 2.0.0*

I love futureme - but now the app has changed to the website is clunky with lots of ads which is really frustrating.

### 3/5 — webview integration not great

*2026-01-15, version 2.0.0*

why have they ruined the app, the old ui was so much better and so much easier to navigate, i feel like im on a website rather than an app. i love the app but i dont like the change :/

### 1/5 — 👎🏼👎🏼

*2026-01-07, version 2.0.0*

I used to absolutely love this app! It was something fun and exciting and now you have to pay to do anything. Who’s going to pay when you can just write a letter put it under your bed and look at it in a year. Also, so many better free alternatives!

### 1/5 — Woah why has the app changed?!

*2026-01-04, version 2.0.0*

I’ve been using FutureMe for years and I’m a premium subscriber but I’ve just updated the app that was sleek, clean and user friendly to what now looks like a browser that I’d filled with ads (with no option to pay to remove them) it was so good before but now looks very old school website. :( left a review as no other way to contact.

### 1/5 — Piorou depois da atualização

*2026-01-03*

O app era maravilhoso! Usava há anos! O layout ficou horrível depois da última atualização. Tem propagandas no meio da tela. Estragou toda essência do app. RIP future me 🥲

### 1/5 — Decepcionada!

*2026-01-02*

Uso o app desde 2022 e sempre achei uma ideia fantástica, sempre indiquei pois amava a funcionalidade. Agora fui pegar a minha carta anual e escrever a nova e o app está 100% pago! Não faz nenhum sentido uma coisa dessas, se fosse algo como usar imagens e itens a mais dentro da carta ainda tudo bem. Pura decepção!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-01-02, version 2.0.0*

Ive been using this app for years and turns out you have to pay now?!! It’s crazy how they dont care about their customers and just the money. I miss the old app

### 2/5 — Did they sell the app??

*2026-01-01, version 2.0.0*

The app uses to actually look .. like an app now it looks like a website with a billion ads & I don’t know why and you have to pay to send more letters to yourself now apart from that the ideas cute.

### 1/5 — :(

*2026-01-01, version 2.0.0*

Used to be great
Now you have to pay and it’s full of ads on my screen that I can’t close :(
I would use the app all the time but now I can’t because
 I’m out of free letters.

### 1/5 — you have to pay to send letters

*2026-01-01, version 2.0.0*

i’ve been using future me for years and have always loved it. i’ve sent multiple letters and always for free but now you have to pay to send a letter. absolutely ridiculous! what a way to absolutely destroy a perfectly good thing!

### 1/5 — it’s soo bad

*2025-12-31, version 2.0.0*

jts sooo badd

### 1/5 — New update has ruined the app

*2025-12-31, version 2.0.0*

New update is awful, poor clunky functionality. Ads are overwhelming. The previous app was made for mobile, this just seems like a webpage. Awful stuff, unlikely I’ll be using it again unfortunately

### 1/5 — Greedy company

*2025-12-31, version 2.0.0*

Thoroughly disappointed!!! Used to be free & I used this all the time.

### 2/5 — This used to be so good

*2025-12-31, version 2.0.0*

This app used to be so good, i loved writing myself letters, but now theres so many ads and you have to pay for a subscription just write myself a letter, i understand if there were a word cap but it doesn't.

### 1/5 — Reverse App Change

*2025-12-31*

I have used Future Me for years. I always loved the idea of writing to myself during difficult or even proud moments. I would even write to myself for my birthdays. As soon as I found out they had an app, I downloaded it and loved it. Only today I opened the app and realized they have done some sort of website integration. It made the app horrible. 
To the makers and developers of Future Me… I implore you to reverse this change you have made. Thanks for the many years of use. I hope you hear my request. 
Sincerely,
Present Me
(Long Time User)

### 1/5 — Não abre mais

*2026-05-24*

Baixei novamente agora e não sai da tela de loading.

### 1/5 — Miss the old version

*2026-05-12*

I’ve been sending letters on this app for several years now. I recently uploaded the new update and absolutely hate it. After I send a letter, I’m stuck on the screen that forces me to pay and you can’t exit out of it or go back to the original screen. I have to exit out the app and reopen it each time. I used to be able to upload a photo or video for free and now there’s this emphasis on paying. I hate the design of the new app. It just lost that sentimental feeling of sending yourself a future letter. I’m gonna start looking for a different app to send myself future letters on

### 1/5 — Greedy company/

*2026-04-26, version 2.0.0*

I have been using FutureMe since mid 2018 and I have loved it. One of my favorite parts of it is how you could write unlimited FREE letters to yourself and you’d only have to pay if you wanted to attach a video or picture. Today I tried to write a letter to myself and when I go to send the letter it says I have to pay $2 to just send the letter!! I’m appalled and disappointed in them. I will no longer be using this app to send my letters. The devs have lost the plot and only care about money.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-04-17, version 2.0.0*

Used to be amazing, now we have to pay to send letters and the new app just looks like a browser. Unfortunately won’t be using it anymore, end of an era.

### 1/5 — huh??

*2026-04-13, version 2.0.0*

the fact that there’s literal hundreds upon hundreds of reviews disappointed with the paywall and they haven’t acknowledged or changed it😭😭😭LOL

### 1/5 — not free

*2026-04-13, version 2.0.0*

I have been using this app since 2024 I believe but it’s not worth it anymore you can write letters but not send them I wish this app wasn’t money hungry but honestly I don’t blame them 💔

### 1/5 — Horrific app

*2026-03-28, version 2.0.0*

The entire app is just a wrapped web browser chock full of ads and paywalls. Awful awful stuff.

### 1/5 — Not its bad

*2026-03-18, version 2.0.0*

I should pay to write a new letter???? I will uninstall it write now even you were with me for more than 5 years ..

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2026-03-05, version 2.0.0*

I’d rate it 0 if I could but i’m now coming to this app to write a letter only to find out I have to pay!?? Ridiculous back then it was free and I could write as many letters as I wanted to. Not to mention ads everywhere. I hate how the greed killed an app i used to love

### 1/5 — End of an era

*2026-02-18, version 2.0.0*

I used to love this site. I have sent many letters and even recommended it to people I work with. But now I find it impossible to use. The last letter I invested time in didn’t send to me, and even today when I tried to write a new letter, it wouldn’t let me through the email validation/ confirmation address. It’s also covered in pop-ups. Yet another lovely idea destroyed by greed. And you know what? I’d have made voluntary contributions to the app’s upkeep, as I do to several others, but I suppose I’ll just have to delete this one now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 5/5 — The app is like the website?

*2025-12-19, version 2.0.0*

Hey!

I absolutely adore the app, and love sending letters to myself since 2020!

I wanted to write a new letter today but the app seems to be not working? When I enter the app it is like it bringing me on the website. Which is weird because the app was working fine one week ago. I tried to delete it and then re download it, it stays the same.

Tell me if that’s normal! 

Thank you:)

### 5/5 — Thoughtful App

*2025-05-26*

We have lots of ways to appreciate and say thank you to others, but not to ourselves. This app is the medium which helped me to thank myself, and to tell myself that no matter what, I will not stop believing in herself. Thank you to the creators for building this app.

### 5/5 — THIS APP IS SO BODACIOUS AND

*2024-07-16*

this app is literally so sweet, like when I had no friends (late 2023) I would never tell anyone about my hatred for the human race but I would make letters about it and yes I sound like a psychopath but I am <3 now I have 3 real friends that I love to death but guess what, ya girl’s still writing those letters while listening to Laufey and crying because GUESS WHAT AGAIN you get sad sometimes or you get happy and sometimes you don’t wanna yap to your friends all the time so you yap to ur future self :) and I love this app because of the other people’s stories they’re so comforting and they make me cry so get the app and yes I don’t know you but I want you to know I love you (unless I don’t, you know who you are.) and that I understand what you’re going through, if you’re looking for this app you most likely need to rant about some kids or someone ur obsessed with and I’ve been through both pookie it’s normal like omg im so tired of people being like “you’re boy obsessed” GO TELL YOUR HUSBAND TO GET A JOB AND MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING IN SEPARATE ROOMS LIKE IM A FREAKING TEENAGE GIRL LEAVE ME ALONE BERTHA (btw can i pleaseeeeee change the date for a letter I made 6 months ago it’s for 2027 and I DONT WANT IT TO BE) love yall have an amazing day you deserve it

### 5/5 — Would 100% reccomend

*2024-07-08, version 1.4.669*

I use this weekly to keep track of how I change, and so far I haven’t really hit a letter limit even though one of the premium perks is “send unlimited letters”. I’m guessing premium is more of a support thing, so im debating buying it just for that. Unless there’s a place I can make a 1 time donation?

### 5/5 — no time traveling

*2024-05-29, version 1.4.669*

cool app just i wish you could actually see messages from your future self 😕😕💔

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-03-10, version 1.4.669*

This does work great and I’ve sent myself letters already it works pretty smoothly

### 5/5 — Two years ago.. 😭

*2023-08-03, version 1.4.596*

i’ve been dealing with a lot lately and i got a letter from me two years ago and made my whole day better, i actually recommend this to anyone who likes to make capsules. <3 :D

### 5/5 — wholesome

*2023-06-20, version 1.4.559*

so nice to see yourself to grow through letters. such a cute concept and so nicely executed. i was writing them on the website previously didnt even know they had an app ◡̈

### 5/5 — bom

*2023-04-08*

poderia ter como traduzir os textos das pessoas

### 5/5 — Perfect
