It is not well enough equipped to deal with the issues it's trying to help with. Circular conversations, over reactive responses when you give answers outside of the bots abilities and just an overall feeling of knowingly talking to a chat bot. ### 1/5 — An absolute waste of time *2025-11-23* Soul destroying pat responses ### 1/5 — Dreadful and isolating *2025-10-26* Dreadful. Makes you feel like you’re speaking to a robot. AI is a huge part of the problem of why humans live in isolation and depression and this terrible soul destroying app which has somehow been commissioned by the nhs literally does the opposite of what it sets out to do. Absolutely does not replace real meaningful human contact. Leads to more frustration, depression and anxiety. ### 1/5 — DeepSeek is way better *2025-09-18* Really poor quality use of AI here. Has a really limited repertoire of responses. I put in how I was feeling and my day and got questioned whether I was suicidal.. then basically ignored what I’d just said and invited me to try some techniques on the app. Oh and it told me that just telling someone about my day was good! Waste of time. Get proper empathetic responses from DeepSeek. And some really helpful analysis and advice. Yes I take it with a pinch of salt but it’s actually useful… ### 1/5 — Unhelpful *2025-08-22* I’m struggling to concentrate due to mental health problems. Sending me around in circles with no further information really doesn’t help and increases my anxiety ### 1/5 — Not what I needed *2025-08-15* I’m trying to self refer for my current issues. I want to talk to someone about it. The NHS putting me onto an AI just makes me feel isolated and that what I’m going through isn’t worth someone talking to me about it. It sent me into a panic spiral yesterday. ### 1/5 — Verification doesn’t work *2025-07-20* Tried to download and use, but verification never came through. Uninstalled and reinstalled and didn’t work. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work & no one to contact. What happened to people? *2025-06-18* Absolutely useless & will not function. Not good when already stressed out. A pointless App. ### 1/5 — Inhumane *2025-06-16* Absolutely shocking that the NHS are recommending this as therapy. Totally non-human approach. Kept asking me about what i do to relieve stress and then telling me i was at risk and to call 111 in response- precisely the issue i am looking to solve. Complete waste of time and so dehumanising. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-04-24, version 80.10.3* AI chat bot, complete waste of time ### 1/5 — Never sends code *2025-01-11, version 80.9.3* Unable to get in cause it never sends a code. My therapist told me about this app and how it can be beneficial in the off times but can’t access it. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2024-11-25* This app does not work. It comes up with an error message every time I answer a question. I have re installed it 3 times and still the same. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work with the US +1 phone numbers *2023-06-01, version 63.4.2* The app doesn’t work even when selecting the US +1 option. It didn’t send a code to my phone number or my Google Voice number. I deleted the app and reinstalled, and it still doesn’t work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How is it even allowed in the NHS? *2026-08-05* I was advised to use this app after I finally gave up using AI as therapy and self-referred for talking therapy instead. You know, with a real, trained human professional. I don’t need more AI - I need a human. This is a disgrace and quite frankly, I’m shocked and disappointed that this is now a new NHS standard. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-31* I’ve tried to sign up three times over the last year. Tried multiple devices, multiple email addresses and multiple phone numbers and I never ever receive a link or text to actually let me into the app. So it’s kind of useless. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-07-29* I can think of nothing worse when you need to speak with a health professional but you get sent a link to this app. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Unempathetic AI is certainly not the answer to mental health problems. ### 1/5 — Isolating *2026-07-18* When in a bad mental state, it’s horrible to think that the only thing you can talk to is a badly made AI. Not even a person ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-01* How am I meant to get over my fear of speaking to humans if I’m not speaking to humans? ### 1/5 — Really horrible experience to use *2026-05-29* It’s really painful experience to be asked difficult questions by a machine and then for the machine to say the equivalent of ‘hey ho, never mind … moving on’. It’s just pre-inputted responses regardless of your answer. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time with this if it’s an NHS suggestion! *2026-05-25* DO NOT USE THIS APP! AI trash that doesn’t provide any actual support to anything you say but keeps rephrasing answers to any problem. Also forces to accept that this app isn’t liable for anything it says or suggests. This isn’t a mental health support app. DO NOT USE THIS APP!! ### 1/5 — Unfortunately, useless *2026-03-09* Prompted to download by the nhs, it does not work at all. All it says is that there is an error. Quite disheartening and possibly making it worse if this is all we can access while on the waitlist for therapy. ### 1/5 — Non user friendly *2026-02-25* Tried this app for the first time today. How could it help? Told bot I’d like to sleep past 04:00. Basically told me to set a goal to sleep past 04:00, as if I hadn’t tried that!!!! Stopped working after ‘enable notifications’ Absolutely awful app. Never again. ### 1/5 — Talk to the robot and let it sell your data *2026-01-09* This felt fairly isolating to use. While it provides very similar questions and responses to a human therapist, I needed a human to talk to. This is exacerbating the problem of not having enough trained therapists. 2 nails in the coffin: - the waiver telling you to ignore any personal/ medical advice the app gives (clearly they don’t trust the AI enough to not go rogue) - the amount of targeted adverts I received straightaway on Facebook that seemed to use the exact words I had shared within the App. It really couldn’t get much worse than feeling like a tool for harvesting your data. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not bad. Don’t be put off by the haters. *2026-08-05* It helps a little but as with any mental health matter, you have to put the work in yourself. If you’re expecting deep and targeted therapy from an AI app you’ll be disappointed but it’s free, gives some direction and is better than nothing! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-05-28* Is it possible you can add different colour backgrounds? I have Irlen Syndrome with dyslexia. The. Limbic app has been really helpful. ### 5/5 — Good tips *2025-06-24* This is the best app, plenty of tips which have helped my anxiety ### 5/5 — Great app when had access to *2024-12-06, version 80.8.5* Used a beta version for a minute and it was extremely helpful. I could have conversation about my feelings and emoting and it would help me unpack them ### 5/5 — Excellent mental health support *2024-11-27, version 80.8.5* I love how easy it is to track my mood and thoughts, and the insights have helped me better manage my mental well-being. It feels safe and compassionate. ### 5/5 — Great support but requires an invitation *2024-11-26, version 80.8.3* I’ve had access to this app from my therapist and it’s been incredibly helpful. I read a negative review from someone that couldn’t get in, but I think you can only get it from your provider. ### 5/5 — Thoughtful *2024-10-31* Best mental health app - great product from both a UX and tech point of view ### 5/5 — class *2020-07-14* one tiny problem when it says that’s all i have to say right now and the text bar comes up it’s a bit confusing becuase if you try to say bye it’ll ask you all over again how you are feeling etc so if you fix that it’ll be great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
