### 2/5 — Not worth $$ problematic AI

*2026-08-07, version 2.56.1*

I’m a big fan of Dr Becky’s book and work. This app was a disappointment. The decks/courses were nice (hence two stars) but the AI feature (Gigi) was problematic. Dr B’s teachings are based in relationships and connection- having parents turn to a mistake-ridden AI chat bot for advice and support runs counter to this. Additionally the customer support team - when I flagged the issue with the AI feature, that it was spitting out problematic responses - was cold, robotic, and tech-focused in their response. A real shock/surprise to me, considering Dr B’s brand. All in all not worth the money. Would suggest just reading her book and watching her social media channels

### 2/5 — Good direction, but missing the mark.

*2026-07-09, version 2.48.0*

The new baby logging features are very nice, but the history log is non-existent. The “trends” feature is insufficient.

### 3/5 — Video Stutter / GUI Stutter / lag

*2026-05-27, version 2.35.0*

The content is not the subject of this review. I have noticed that almost all the time while using the app for videos (even scrolling through menus) that the GUI is laggy/choppy, and the videos are the same. The audio is unaffected, but I have fast internet and a very new device.

### 4/5 — Good for parent but not any other type of relationship

*2026-04-28, version 2.27.1*

I am a nanny and the parents have provided this app for me to help manage the 3 children. While I find this app good and insightful, it assumes I am the parent. It’s can give me good ideas, but it can’t help me exactly in the ways I need. I think it would be super helpful to be able to choose a different form of relationship of adult to child

### 4/5 — Slow, overheating

*2026-03-14, version 2.13.1*

I really like the app itself but for some reason the last few days it hasn’t been running nicely. It has a bad delay and causes my phone to overheat while using. This happens even after closing all other apps and restarting my phone. 😕

### 4/5 — On demand help

*2026-02-18, version 2.6.0*

Great app with useful information. I also love the on demand Ask Gigi feature. It helps a lot on the fly when I’m unsure how to respond to my child and need quick talking points. The down side is that the “community forum” tab on the app never works.

### 4/5 — Fantastic content but buggy app

*2026-01-21*

I love the content and it’s super helpful! No regrets getting the subscription. I only with the app was less buggy. Decks often interact with each other and finish halfway through. Workshops don’t save progress. Fantastic app that just needs a little TLC.

### 5/5 — Just get it! 😄

*2026-01-16, version 1.64.0*

This app has been so helpful in my parenting journey.  Love the bite size learning, community, and multitude of recourses available.  I’ve followed Dr. Becky for years and this app is truly a game changer!!  So user friendly and tons of amazing content and support.  Make the investment in your family and yourself, you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2026-01-15, version 1.64.0*

This thing is a life saver. I am such a better and more present parent and my whole house is so much happier and more balanced. I’m forever grateful and I recommend it to so many friends and therapy clients

### 5/5 — So thankful

*2026-01-14*

We have a deeply feeling 6 year old and this community and Dr Becky’s workshops have been a game changer for our family. We have been at it for almost a year and are noticing some positive changes with our kid and in our marriage.

### 5/5 — Transformation

*2026-01-12, version 1.63.0*

This app has literally transformed my parenting - not only does this affect my relationship with my children, but it has helped me feel more calm and understanding of the journey they are on, allowing them to experience the ups and downs of childhood without the addition of my own feelings and emotions.

### 5/5 — Toddler mom- so grateful for this resource

*2026-01-12, version 1.63.0*

Mom of 2.5 yr old with another one on the way. So grateful I found this app. It’s incredibly applicable and actionable. Helps me understand my kids development and come up with ideas and scripts to respond in tricky moments. Plus it helps my husband and I get on the same page about how we will react as a family to harder moments, tantrums, or difficult convos. The trained AI is also surprisingly useful and helpful to get support in real time and to custom situations if needed and surfaces the relevant resources. My best app of 2025

### 5/5 — Life Changing

*2026-01-09*

Your children deserve all the benefits this app offers. It's intuitive, easy to use and the information is invaluable. I can't recommend it highly enough! You will not be disappointed

### 5/5 — A true partner in parenting

*2026-01-05, version 1.60.1*

I’m so grateful for this app. It gives me tangible reminders. And a confidence to navigate parenting situations. I love that it’s digestible in small specific lessons to get me the help I’m looking for quickly, as well as providing regular reminders so I don’t forget things.

### 5/5 — Parenting Mentor

*2025-12-31, version 1.60.1*

I often joke with my colleagues that we have a difficult profession. We navigated a lot of schooling and training for our particular job. Parenting is often times harder. And they handed us a baby at the hospital and said congratulations! Dr. Becky and the Good Inside App is the academic tool to allow us to navigate the ups and downs of parenting. The app is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Go To for Parenting & Partnership

*2025-12-22, version 1.59.4*

This app and the whole community experience has been invaluable for me personally and for our family. It is so helpful to hear from other parents, to work at my own pace through the decks, to have GiGi as a resource in tough moments or when I’m worried about one aspect of my parenting…it also great to have longer programs/workshops to utilize and short zoom calls to just touch in and feel less alone.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Content is good- app is difficult

*2026-06-26, version 2.44.0*

Things are hard to find. I want just audio not always video

### 1/5 — Expensive, annoying and will keep billing you

*2026-01-29*

Not helpful, no warning they were going to charge me $450 again when I don’t even have a login! I can’t get help because to need a login for that too! If you like constant popups with no way to stop them taking hundreds of dollars from you, this is the app for you!

**Developer response:** So sorry for the trouble you are experiencing! Please reach out to us at support@goodinside.com so we can continue the conversation and assist you further.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t helped with my parenting struggles

*2026-01-25, version 1.65.0*

Save your money and skip this app! Her strategy to deal with any aggressive behavior is to say “I won’t let you hit …” and then grab your child’s hand and hold it down. Well this only escalates the behavior and makes my child start squirming to get away while becoming more aggressive

### 1/5 — Customer service is non existent

*2025-12-29, version 1.60.1*

Downloaded the app after reading about trial period guarantee. There were some good things in the app but decided it wasn’t worth it. Been weeks since contacting customer service for a refund within trial period and nothing. Now I have to go through hassle of credit card claim. Would not recommend. Just buy the book.

### 1/5 — Great content, ridiculous account setup

*2025-11-19, version 1.52.0*

We love Dr Becky and Good Inside, but for my wife and I to BOTH rely on this content, the only solution GI offers is to purchase two separate full memberships, which feels like such a racket.

### 1/5 — Do not use free trial, they will charge and not refund.

*2025-10-28, version 1.46.0*

I was really excited to try Good Inside, but unfortunately it just didn’t work for our family. We’re a foster family, and the commitment to daily lessons and activities didn’t fit our unpredictable schedule.

The real disappointment came when I was accidentally charged after trying to cancel. The only way to contact support is through email, and despite reaching out promptly, I didn’t get a response. When I followed up, I was told repeatedly that I hadn’t contacted them in time, even though I had messages sent through their own website.

After weeks of back and forth, they still refused to issue a refund, despite clear evidence that I hadn’t used the app. The whole experience felt impersonal and not at all parent-centered, which is ironic given their mission.

### 1/5 — No trial no way to know the value

*2025-10-25, version 1.46.0*

Very simple to at least add a few days trial

### 1/5 — Clarity needed

*2025-09-16, version 1.37.0*

Getting tired of apps advertising that they are free but with some in app purchases only to find out after giving them your contact details that you have to subscribe. This was NZD $50/month fyi

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-08-19*

There’s no way of experiencing the app without first purchasing a subscription which is a whopping $400+ a year. I don’t want to try it that badly, yikes

**Developer response:** We hear you. We never want price to be prohibitive. Write us at support@goodinside.com and we can help!

### 1/5 — Love Dr. Becky and the Home Screen!

*2025-08-09, version 1.31.0*

I absolutely love Dr. Becky! Her advice is thoughtful, practical and truly makes a difference. The Home Screen is my favorite part.  It’s warm, easy to navigate and feels like a friendly welcome every time I open the app. 5/5 stars!

### 5/5 — Stop Changing Everything!!!

*2026-05-29, version 2.36.0*

I love Dr. Becky, the app is great-please just leave it alone!! I feel like every few days something has moved into a new section or disappears-like where did the library go?? My biggest pet peeve with apps is the CONSTANT “updates”. Yes, of course, fix the bugs, but stop changing the home page and tabs and font and everything else!!

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-05-28, version 2.36.0*

I never really leave reviews but this has been a life changing framework and app for me. I have gone to it frequently over the last two years. Dr. Becky has given me the tools to be the mom I’ve always wanted to be. I am so grateful this resource exists.

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-04-10*

Dr Becky and her team provide the most wholesome support. It's made such a difference to the way I parent and understand my children. It's helped me on the hardest days, when I've felt like throwing in the towel and given me the confidence in my parenting journey.

### 5/5 — Changed my relationship with daughter

*2026-03-17, version 2.14.0*

So grateful to Dr Becky you changed my relationship with my child - app is clunky and slow to load, wish there was more new content but live discussions make it worth it - chat not helpful, using my kids name “baby A” feels intrusive

### 5/5 — Get it.

*2026-03-12*

Don’t hesitate. It’s worth it. You and your kids are worth it. What I have learned from this app and the book are priceless, and have helped our family so much. We have a deeply feeling kid and once we figured that out, our world changed. There are still hard moments but we are equipped with what we need. I can’t thank Dr Becky and all who are involved enough for what this has done for us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Best resource for parents

*2026-02-24, version 2.8.0*

This has been a game changer for me and parenting my 3 year old. I really thought nothing works at this age and we just have to suffer through it, but we don’t, and it can be enjoyable

### 5/5 — The tears and joy of understanding.

*2026-02-24, version 2.8.0*

You know, I have been watching Dr. Becky on socials for a while wanting to better understand what I was doing “wrong” as a parent. My ex-wife and I had chatted earlier today about what to do better for a boy who 90% of the time is amazing, kind, and respectful yet the other 10% are explosions or even more often implosions where he try’s to hold in all of the feelings and can’t breath.

I had no Idea what a Deeply Feeling Kid (DFK) was.

I only share this to emphasize how in  much I cried and laughter and cried again just feeling seen as the parent of a DFK and I’m only an hour in.

I already gifted it to a few others and my Ex-wife. I would take the chance to check out the app and see if it helps you and your family.

Thank you Dr. Becky and Good Intentions team.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-02-19*

I’m hummed and hawed, the price seemed expensive and I had read her book, so I wondered if this would be worth it. Let me tell you, it is SO worth it, the instant chat / AI gives you excellent answers to questions you have specifically about a scenario, it’s truly amazing. If you’re on the fence like I was, just go for it, honestly, this is amazing.

### 5/5 — Single Mama gives 5/5

*2026-01-24, version 1.65.0*

I got to a moment in my parenting that was the breaking point and finally paid for the APP it’s been 4 days and it’s worth every penny. The format of learning- through the decks- genius interface. Ask GiGi already helped me through 3 meltdowns. And I don’t feel alone anymore. Thank you

### 5/5 — A must-have parenting tool

*2026-01-21, version 1.65.0*

I’ve been in therapy for 5 years, since my first was born, but I was still struggling to get actual actionable parenting advice from my therapist. Enter this app! My second born is so tough and I needed an actual toolbox of what to say because I didn’t learn proper parenting from my own parents. I learned repairing from my therapist but having this app give me the specifics I can say in the moment to my child during intense behavior has been game changing!!
