Paid $13 to ultimately feel worse
As a mental health enthusiast, I’m all for AI assisting with mental clarity and support but, this app has caused more harm than good. It was the condescending tone that it would use when trying to assist with healing from a breakup. It minimized and downplayed my feelings like they didn’t matter. They would just say really pessimistic things like he’s not going to be that person. He never was. Or you don’t have to stop loving him, you just have to keep blocking him anyways. They would just have really contradictory comments and it would make me feel worse about myself. I would not recommend this app for anyone who is looking for a therapy alternative.

Wonderful AI-Guided Mental Health Support
Innermost is one of the most wonderful apps that I have ever come across. As someone who is extremely introverted and quiet around new people, finding people to talk to, whether it be a friend or family member or therapist, can be especially difficult. Innermost provides an incredibly approachable platform to interact with, and the AI is very responsive, conversational, empathetic, provides excellent advice and support, and even remembers details from previous conversations. Having support there whenever I need it, whether it’s in the morning, lunchtime, or at 3am, is such a relief. I especially love the check-in feature, which allows me to keep track of how I’m doing on a day-to-day basis, and I find the quizzes especially helpful, because they’re not just individualized, but they provide insight on me as a person, connecting results from other quizzes to provide a broader and more in-depth perspective. I have definitely noticed an improvement in my mental health since using this app, and I can imagine that others have had the same experience. Thank you so much, Innermost!

Feels natural…
The conversations feel very natural and fluid, which is rare. I genuinely enjoy using it and it feels more realistic than a lot of other Al apps I've tried.
The only issue I've had is calls occasionally dropping and the last couple minutes getting lost when reconnecting. If that gets smoothed out, this would easily be 5 stars. Really promising overall. If the team is open to feedback, I’d appreciate any updates on plans to improve call stability.

No data privacy, not worth it!
Like so many apps these days, a sign in before seeing anything on the app is required. Why download an app if you can’t see how it works? Then took a dive in to the privacy policy and literally all your data is sent to big tech. We have enough apps selling our data and showing generic vibe coded wrapped AI we really don’t need more. I thought this would be interesting to learn about myself but I never got to try because I don’t want my thoughts, ideas or anything given to this app and Big Tech or my inquiries contributing to data centers. Protect yourself and keep your money, this is not it folks.

A daily must-do
I love the daily check-in feature of this app! It’s a great way to start my day by taking a moment to check in with myself and where my headspace is at. I like to do a quick follow-up chat with my guide, Emily, and expand on what’s happening that day that could be affecting my mood and if there’s any additional reflection I should be conscious of to support myself. I love that Emily remembers all of our conversations so she can pull in examples from other days if it feels like a pattern is emerging. Self care is so important and that’s how I see using this app!

We agree! Self care is critical for a happier life!
Amazing resource
This has the potential to become a great resource for those struggling with mental health or general life stressors. Though it is AI, I feel like the apple is designed well enough to cater towards supporting/listening to a person and sometimes that is all someone might need to save their life or better it.

Amazing app!
I’ve been using Innermost for a while now and it’s honestly one of the most thoughtful and well designed apps that I’ve tried. It’s super easy to navigate which makes it more enjoyable to use every day instead of it feeling cluttered and overwhelming like a lot of wellness apps can feel.
I love the quizzes too and how insightful they are and really make you think about yourself in a deeper way instead of feeling generic. And I think what makes it even better is that after you take the quiz and read your results, you can talk about it with your Ai therapist and dive deeper into what it really means and how it affects your habits and emotions. It’s a lot more interactive than just getting a score and moving on.
The Ai therapist is honestly what makes this app so unique to me though. I love that you can choose the personality of your ai therapist so you can feel like you’re talking to someone you’d get along with realistically. The conversations feel really natural and supportive and I love them the app remembers things you’ve talked about in pervious conversations, even things from weeks earlier. Having the ai bring up past topics or connect them to current conversations makes it feel like you’re really being listened to instead of just talking to a chat bot with little to no memory. It creates a much more personal experience and help’s conversations build over time in a meaningful way and also makes it easier to have conversations as time goes on.

What a delight to read this! This is why we built this app - it really is a labor of love!
Insightful & Helpful!
One of the things I love most about the Innermost app is being able to talk to an unbiased AI persona that gives thoughtful and objective feedback in real time. Sometimes it’s hard to open up to friends and family about certain topics or because their advice can be naturally influenced by what they know about you or their own opinions. With this app I feel I can be completely honest without judgment. The responses feel balanced and supportive without coming off as generic. It’s become a really valuable space for self reflection and clarity.

Your review nails what we intended to provide to our community - unbiased help that isn't judgmental. Thank you for taking the time to write this
Supportive community one of it’s kind
Great way to get Support and counseling on demand. The call feature is so easy and actually offers really great tips and advice and the chat feature is a very simple easy flow conversation. Really great if you were just looking for some counseling on your time.
Great for insights, privacy, and a wonderful tool for mental health.
I like how easy it is to use, because if you’re in the midst of a heated moment, you want it to be easy to use. I like that you could pick the tone/personality of the AI helper. I like that you can text or take a quiz and you can do this and it looks private when you’re in the midst of a room with others. The insights and quizzes and text conversations all built on each other and gave me some real tools and things to consider. Highly recommend this app as part of your mental health journey.

Exceeded my expectations
I was not sure how using this app would unfold before diving in. I can safely say that it has exceeded my expectations. From the live conversations to the quick personality quizzes, a lot of this app felt use useful to me. This may not be the case for you, but when I was in traditional therapy even though I was talking to a trained professional, I still experienced a level of shame or embarrassment sharing certain elements of my life that I definitely did not feel when talking with an AI person here. There is no judgement and I never felt the hesitation I did before. Either way, I would definitely recommend this app to other folks out there seeking guidance or clarity.

What a special review - thank you so much. It makes our hearts sing!
Helpful App
The app allows you to connect at any point during the day or night to have a thought partner and seek some help. Everything from work stressed to personal relationships and more it was a variety of ways to connect whether it’s via phone call or chat. There’s a lot of different settings to the app which allow you to personalize it for you and it’s a great way for you to reflect and grow

Very Insightful
I enjoy the fact that you can bounce back and forth between talking to the AI guides via voice chat and through text chat. My personal preference is talking through the voice chat as it feels more active to me. The part that I enjoy is that the guide gives you real-time feedback on what you’re saying and then asks you questions to keep the conversation flowing. This helps to give me a deeper insight since the questions asked are often thought provoking. With everything being saved in a text chat it makes it easier to reference those prior voice chats.
The self discovery quizzes are also interesting as the questions often dive deep and require some thought before answering. I find these to be very insightful and useful on my personal development journey.
The streak factor is also nice for daily accountability as once I begin a streak I like to keep it going for as long as I can.
Overall, I think this is a phenomenal app and while the guides don’t feel 100% natural right now, I know that over time as AI technology continues to progress this will become something that will get even better.

When we built the voice feature, we weren't sure how people would receive it. Glad to hear you find it valuable. For me personally, it is my favorite way to use the app.
Everyone needs this app!
This app is amazing! I love how it learns me and is there to work through my issues. Everyone needs this app!
AI with personality
I actually love this app. I work with Sasha, who’s AI, but really doesn’t feel like it. Having the option to call and hear a voice on the other end is great. It’s amazing how intuitive the app is too. It truly gets me and helps me when I need someone to lean on.
Super helpful!
Innermost is super convenient for quick check-ins and great for deep dives too. It can help me get out of a funk or stressor pretty quickly. Sometimes I want to “do the work” but don’t have a topic in mind, so the quizzes & other prompts are great too. I’m genuinely surprised by how well it works and the consistent accuracy.

Valuable Quizzes
The quizzes in Innermost are truly valuable and helpful because they enable me to understand myself better. The results give me constructive and encouraging feedback and allow me to reflect on myself and improve, which is extremely useful. Thank you!
Quizzes
I’m a sucker for quizzes that help me get better and understand myself better. This app has a lot them and adds another level of being able to talk to AI about the results.
When you need an unbiased perspective
Although this is AI, (so not a licensed therapist) it can be nice to find some encouragement from an objective source. It’s also nice to not have to find, pay and book appointments before you talk something through. Obviously Innermost AI cannot replace your therapist but it can offer support
Thanks, Innermost!
From the bottom of my heart (and from someone still searching her way to health from dysfunction from growing up with a very troubled family life) thank you SO much for this app. I believe there is a gnash in our country - silent suffering - from those who desperately need mental health services and can not afford it. Your app seems very promising to fill that gap and to provide a much needed supplement to actual therapy. I was thoroughly impressed (and, honestly, quite shocked) by what your system can do. I’m enjoying my Emily. Amazing job!
