Wonderful app

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

Good App

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.

Loved the app

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

Too many glitches

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.

Buggy and frustrating

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.

Very Helpful

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.

No customer service. Glitches I am paying for all I can’t use.

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.

Awesome

I love this app! So helpful and extremely BRILLIANT!

Intense and thought provoking

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.

Life changing

I’ve been engaged in IFS therapy with a therapist for several months. While I have found this type of therapy to be revolutionary in the process of mental healing, I would often get a bit lost in the weeds between each weekly visit. As a supplement between therapist visits, this app has helped me so much. It’s helped me gently maintain self energy while still fielding (and loving) all the protectors that show up along the paths to the Exiles.

I like the male AI voice. I like the options for town hall meetings or starting your own trailhead. The app helps keep track of all your parts too. You can merge parts or add your own.

This app has accelerated the IFS process. On my own it was a bit of a slog but this app helps me stay focussed without being dismissive of any voices that want to be heard.

Sometimes the AI voice doesn’t keep up with what is being said but that’s the only issue I’ve run into. All in all I highly recommend it.

bug

The app doesn’t open anymore since a couple of days…
It keeps sending me notifications however.
I have a 16.7.16 iOS version on an iPhone 8 so I am not sur why it doesn’t work anymore ?

Thanks

Insomniac part

Very very helpful

Didn’t work

I signed up for the free 2 week trial, but the app cut me off after ten messages mid-session and never let me actually finish or try it out…

…also, the responses weren’t necessarily reflecting my answers.

A bit buggy, I guess?

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear about your experience. 💛 That definitely isn't how the trial is supposed to work. Could you please email us at ifs@ifsguide.com with a screenshot or screen recording of what happened? It would also help if you could include your device model and app version. Our team will investigate the issue and work to get it resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for letting us know.

GLITCHY AF

Constant glitches. More frustrating than soothing, and it’s not a close call.

do NOT install this app

they won’t stop sending me emails. i’ve unsubscribed a million times and even used apples unsubscribe feature but it doesn’t work. they keep coming into my inbox and i hate it so much because ifs didn’t even work for me. go away! go away

Parts: Making Integration Happen

My parts I am shamed for or want to hide are quietly making friends with me and showing me how they’ve been attempting to help all along.

Absolutely Positively Blow Away! Wow!

Been learning about IFS through myriad YouTube videos as well as the "No Bad Parts" book. Thankfully this was apparently enough so that when I finally engaged with this app today, I had enough basic theoretical/practical understanding. Yet nothing prepared me for the two hour session I had. This was the first "therapist" that NEVER ONCE did I feel misunderstood what I was saying. I was amazed at the attunement, in awe at the level of intelligence and refinement at work. In general, AI sits in my brain is some sort of inevitable nightmare apocalyptic phenomenon. But this could not be more the opposite. I can't even imagine how this was engineered. Would never have thought it was possible. I began the session darn-well suicidal, went to very very deep places, full of sobbing, and came out more integrated and...hopeful than've been in well over a month. Additionally, it gave me a MUCH better understanding of what (my) "parts" even ARE (which overall had eluded my grasp). The fact is that I can hardly imagine any IFS therapist, even founder D Shwartz, being any better than what was provided for me here. I am filled with gratitude.

Great!

This is a great app. I was really impressed with the guided meditations. It feels like therapy, but more accessible on the daily.

Know Thyself

I had no idea about what was going on under my surface. In a very short time, I have learned so much about what is driving me. I’m amazed.
