Click the button and it takes you to the page to download the app. I have the app and no matter what I have tried it never takes me to a reset page. So after a few days can’t use it or have to create a new account? ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2024-07-24, version 2.11.9* For an app that is supposed to help with stress and anxiety, you would think they would make sure that logging into it would work and not break and make you jump through hoops to figure out what’s wrong. ### 1/5 — Misleading trail. *2024-05-23, version 2.11.8* Will imprison your money ### 4/5 — Not letting me subscribe. *2024-04-14, version 2.11.8* I enjoy using Happify. I normally use the free version but once in awhile I get the paid version for a month or two at a time. The last time I tried it would not progress past the continue page. I tried deleting the app and loading it again but it did not help. ### 1/5 — Terrible / stressful log in loop *2024-04-04, version 2.11.8* Made account 2 days ago in website. Downloaded app today and it won’t accept my password. Tried change password , link sent to my email but sends me back to page to download app. No actual page to change password. Imagine that….. an app to reduce stress that actually INDUCES STRESS. ### 2/5 — Expensive *2024-02-16, version 2.11.8* No matter what I can’t afford it ### 4/5 — 👌Happify app *2024-02-02, version 2.11.8* This app is helpful though not always smooth it’s a good app ### 1/5 — Glitchy all the time *2024-01-11, version 2.11.8* I have to uninstall and reinstall the app every time I want to use it. It’s almost like before I meditate I’m being tested on patience and frustration. ### 1/5 — Didn’t keep me coming back *2023-12-14, version 2.11.7* I thought the app would keep me engaged by always asking my how I was doing and then matching me with a track to do. Instead, it only did that once and expected me to know which track to go to next. It suggested one (passively) so I did it but it asked me to document every negative thought I have during a day. That’s impossible. I don’t notice my negative thoughts most of the time. After that, I don’t know what to try or what to do. There are plenty of options to choose from but I have no idea which is best for me. ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2023-11-20, version 2.11.7* Each time I try to log I get the error message “ ERROR CANNOT FIND YOUR INFORMATION This application is having internal issues. Try going back and trying again. We apologize for the inconvenience.” So I’m unable to “start my journey.” I hope they fix this issue. ### 1/5 — Unable to login with Cigna!! *2023-11-14, version 2.11.7* I recently started a new job with Cigna health insurance and Happify provided for free through that. Well I want to use the app but there is no option to login through the Cigna portal like I can do on the website. Please fix this! I saw an old article suggesting there was a Cigna specific version of the Happify app but I can’t seem to find that anywhere so I’m guessing it no longer exists. Help!! ### 1/5 — Basically a poorly designed chat app *2023-10-07, version 2.11.7* This app is way too ambitious for what it’s trying to do. Half the activities are interacting with a chatbot that seems utterly incapable of doing anything other than responding to basic keywords. You can tell it, “I am struggling to find balance between work and home” and it’ll think you have stress at work you need to solve. It’s supposed to be helpful, but it’s gd frustrating to interact with that it ruins the experience completely for me. Just stick to making games and articles that teach the concepts. This chatbot is a disaster that should be dragged out back and deleted permanently. ### 2/5 — Confusing App *2023-06-16, version 2.11.5* Not intuitive. I got so frustrated just trying to figure out how to use it, I deleted the entire app. ### 1/5 — This app does not replace professional help. *2023-06-03* If this app has been helpful for you, fantastic! If you are wondering whether this app is for you, know at the start if you’re considering this as an alternative to therapy, you should go to therapy. The app does not have a strong ability to adapt to what is being talked about. It does not have the ability to recognize between minor complaints, possible health crisis, or cases of abuse. This app is fine for a small boost and to remind yourself there’s good in the world. This app is not good for unpacking emotional trauma and sorting through what healthy living looks like. Please talk to a therapist or give 988 a call before thinking this app is the end all, be al of mental health. Good luck. ### 1/5 — Decreasing my happiness adding to my stress *2023-05-30* I got this app through my work. I registered on our healthcare website. I download the app and try to log in and it says my password isn’t correct. I hit forgot password, it sends me a link in my email, I click on it, and it takes me back to the original page with Happify and my company. I can’t actually reset my password. I did it again and it did the same thing. It keeps cycling me through to the same pages. I give up. This is the stupidest waste of my time. Maybe you should make it easier for people to sign up and link their account from their original registration to the app. 1 star. Don’t waste your time either. **Developer response:** Hello, we apologize for the inconvenience. We would like to get more detailed information so that we can identify the issue. Please email us at support@happify.com with your username and email address associated with your account and our support team will assist you in getting this resolved right away. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Angry Birds With “Bad Thoughts” on them *2023-05-06, version 2.11.5* I really wanted this app to help me, but how can I take it seriously when one of the main things it offers is literally a basic physics game but with the bad guy holding a sign that says “Anxiety.” Alternatively, you might click on balloons that have happy words on them. I felt insulted trying to use this app. I also didn’t like how much “defeating loneliness” seemed to assume you already had friends basically and you just needed to reach out more. ### 1/5 — Spammed with Notifs *2023-05-04, version 2.11.5* I allowed notifications and at noon the next day it started spamming me with notifications to take a break for calm, it wouldn’t stop so I opened the app to appease it, did its task, and exited the app to do something else and it got worse! The moment I exited the app it spammed me again, this time faster, bing bing bing, it wouldn’t let my phone NOT have a banner at the top! That caused more stress! Not a calm break! Had to hard disable notifications in the IOS settings ### 2/5 — I really loved it, BUT..,, *2023-05-01, version 2.11.5* This was the first mental health so I loved ! A day later, it wouldn’t open. No iPhone. No iPad. SUPER disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2026-02-09, version 2.11.9* Bo ### 1/5 — Fix Bugs *2026-01-03, version 2.11.9* Can’t upgrade within app. You’re losing out on sales. No, I will not use a computer to notify you of this issue. Your customer service should be uniform to your app. ### 1/5 — APP is buggy *2025-07-29, version 2.11.9* I constantly have to download and delete this app to be able to login…wtf. ### 1/5 — Never works *2025-05-03, version 2.11.9* This app never opens. What is the deal ? ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-02-24, version 2.11.9* Can log in on website through Cigna but can’t get forget password to work to use the app. It seems like this feedback goes back a year+ so I’d assume there isn’t any intention of fixing. ### 1/5 — HappifyXCigna *2025-02-05, version 2.11.9* So it’s supposed to be offered with my health plan yet when I try to utilize the function it takes me where I need to pay Jesus get it together. I’m gonna look into the fine print, but if it’s supposed to be an actual option for my health plan and I report it to them that could constitute some serious issues. I think I’m gonna just go ahead and delete this app cause it’s bloody not worth it. Have a good day. ### 1/5 — Error *2025-02-01, version 2.11.9* Can’t log in without reinstalling the app every time I want to use it. I reached out to the company for help and they haven’t responded. ### 1/5 — Ugh chat bots *2024-12-19, version 2.11.9* The entire structure of this is interacting with chatbots. It’s like talking to a Spirit Airlines chatbot, but about your personal life. I’m not sure how this is supposed to make you happier, because it forces you to interact with the app in the most frustrating, time consuming, limiting way. I was trying to find an app I used years ago where you log things like “gratitude” “savoring” etc. I thought this was an updated version of that. Nope. You will more satisfaction from listening to hold music for 45 minutes. Don’t waste your money, there’s free stuff out there that is better. ### 1/5 — Crashed *2024-10-14, version 2.11.9* Opened the app to a series of questions about how satisfied about life etc, for it to crash and go back to the beginning and crash again, never to get to the end of questions. Unfortunately, I removed the app. ### 1/5 — Not happy with Happify *2024-08-24, version 2.11.9* I’ve been on the struggle bus with my moods and emotions so I decided to try out the Happify app that my health insurance had recommended. I found the games dumb and irritating and did not do anything to lift my mood ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2025-10-12, version 2.11.9* Great app, I’d like to fully subscribe but the button isnt working on the app x ### 5/5 — Painless Transformation *2024-10-28, version 2.11.9* Early on, app was my support through suicide death of my brother and personal depression & anxiety AND now when I feel the need, I “refresh” with the app. Once you are familiar with the games etc it’s always easy to drop in❤️ ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-12-20, version 2.11.5* Helps me focus on the bright side of things. I’ve have only been doing it for a few days and I noticed the difference on my mindset. ### 5/5 — Be in Control of Your Life and Happiness *2022-11-17* Happify is an amazing website that can turn a person's life around! It is for any and everyone who has some level of depression or is experiencing an emotional setback! Thank you Happify! For those who have little to no extra money, Happify offers some access for free - AND even this limited amount of access is enough to uplift a person out of depression - absolutely amazingly easy and simple!! ### 5/5 — Happify *2022-10-24, version 2.11.5* These activities are fun, positive and really helpful. The activities really puts me in a good mood, and helps me to think about my thoughts and how I can improve my well being. ### 5/5 — Makes me smile *2022-10-20, version 2.11.5* Just doing these activities can bring a smile to my face ### 5/5 — Happify - love *2022-09-28, version 2.11.3* That’s it. I love it. Would like to try premium free for a week as quite a sum to pay ### 5/5 — First Day - I’m excited! *2022-09-01, version 2.11.3* I started today my first free task. I love the idea. It totally make sense for me. At first I thought I have to get used to the design and their concept, but it just makes perfect sense. They also have smart examples/aspects that are valuable for me. I’m excited about my upcoming exercises. ### 5/5 — Happify *2022-09-01, version 2.11.3* Totally fun and makes me happy! ### 5/5 — Today *2022-07-14, version 2.11.1* I have used the app for a day and have found out so much about myself and my thoughts and my feeling’s. Just try it. You might just find yourself. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
