## What is IFS Guide?

Internal Family Systems (IFS Therapy) is the fastest growing therapy model because of it’s root-cause effectiveness. 

And our goal is to make it affordable and accessible for all! 

The IFS Guide app gives you step-by-step guidance based on Internal Family Systems protocols so that you have a safe space to take care of your Parts anytime, anywhere. 

Our AI-powered IFS Practitioner, called Sunny, acts like a real IFS practitioner and enables you to speak directly or chat with it anytime, anywhere, and in ANY LANGUAGE. 

Sunny will be with you every step of the way, so you never wander off or feel lost in the process. There are text, audio, and direct speaking guides in your native language that will help you through inner child work and shadow work, so you understand your parts better and create deeper relationships with them. In addition to AI-powered guidance, the app also provides smart guided meditations in audio, for those who prefer no AI included in their guidance.

The feature to chat with your parts on your own, allows you the freedom and creativity you need to connect with your different sides (parts) at your own pace. You can also log your conversations with your parts and reflect on them later.

Create a profile for each Part of your Internal Family System and log its traits, behavior, and relationships with other parts.

Schedule reminders to ensure your Parts get the care and attention they need from you.

### 3/5 — Love the app- but glitchy

*2026-08-16, version 1.99.0*

This app is everything I’ve ever wanted. I needed a place to map, track and seek guidance. I love the ai generated images and maps because it really helps me flesh out my parts. I also love how the meditations are done. I feel a bit disappointed though because I paid for a full year and I’m running into glitches on a daily basis. It’ll freeze, the parts won’t delete or get created, keyboard will disappear, the ai will create more parts than got discussed. In that way I have a lot of extra management that I need to do as I interact with the app. I’d love if these things could get fixed! And a bit more of a sophisticated AI as well as image generator in the future as ai continues to grow would be awesome. To have not only just an ifs dialogue but maybe the option at the end for an intelligent ai to give even deeper feedback/ interaction. I’m glad you all made this technology over alll as it was so needed!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2026-08-01, version 1.96.1*

I used the free 2 weeks trial AI IFS session and it helped

### 5/5 — Good App

*2026-07-29, version 1.96.1*

I am so glad I found this app, and it has been helpful to practice in between therapy sessions.  I just wish it does not end when it has reached texting limit and having to restart. Otherwise, I love it.

### 5/5 — Loved the app

*2026-07-24, version 1.96.1*

I use the as a reference for therapy sessions and it’s really helped my parts become more harmonious.

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-07-21, version 1.96.1*

I’m having tech glitches every step of the way, it’s really frustrating. The team is not doing a good job with the app interface and the web interface either.

And to add insult to injury, whom ever is the person replying to customer service emails completely lacks in any kind of empathic communication skills. Which is ironic for a therapy app.

### 2/5 — Buggy and frustrating

*2026-07-13, version 1.96.1*

I’m struggling to understand why this app has such high reviews, as I am incredibly frustrated with the amount of bugs encountered while attempting to do very simple things, like navigate the different menus, add parts, add relationships, etc.  It’s great that there is an app for IFS but I personally prefer to stick to pen and paper over this app.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2026-07-13, version 1.96.1*

It’s nice to have a tool to walk you through IFS when you’re too tired to do the steps yourself or you find that you’re stuck. It’s really nice in between sessions and it’s really helpful and powerful to have the autonomy to do.

### 1/5 — No customer service. Glitches I am paying for all I can’t use.

*2026-07-11, version 1.96.1*

I’m paying for the app. It tells me I can’t use it. That I am not subscribed. That I am in my two week free trial. I see the payment. I’m paying. But it keeps glitching. No customer service support at all. No number. No one will call. It’s awful.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-09, version 1.96.1*

I love this app! So helpful and extremely BRILLIANT!

### 5/5 — Intense and thought provoking

*2026-06-29, version 1.96.1*

I did not expect much from this app, so I am quite surprised. I particularly liked how the AI generator helped identify parts that I would not see. I also liked the summary at the end to help me remember. the one thing that could be improved is more detail in the summary because it was quite vague.
