For some reason I thought something like this was solely made as an act of empathy and care to help people, but I forget the world is run on money. And even then its way too over priced no matter how good the info is or could may help, I can find help other places for cheap or free. unless the money is going somewhere that can actually help people, what’s the point of paying? Sorry waste of time, deleted, and to anyone else out there that loves this app and the aid it brings, then that’s cool that’s fine just not for me with how much it is. ### 5/5 — From an LMHC, pleasantly surprised 🙌 *2021-11-24, version 4.0.1* I never write reviews but this one deserves a nod. I have downloaded plenty of self help apps over the years and have fallen off after a couple days or have found them to be clunky to use. Mend is truly helpful. I downloaded it because I was going through a heartbreak that I really couldn’t let go of, and 3 months later, I can truly say that it’s getting better and Mend has been a part of that. Also noteworthy, I’m a licensed mental health counselor so I have pretty high standards (and also skepticism and lack of patience) with this stuff. Why it works— the practices are short daily audio clips with short journal prompts that you can just type into your phone (or I got into the habit of voice-to-text it). You can log your mood for the day (with cute icons), self-care activities, and read articles. So it’s all intended to be a short and sweet daily practice. Less than 5 min, really. And knowing what I know about psychology, that’s why I think/know/have found it works. Also, the app is just really user friendly and pleasant visually. I spent the money for 2 of the programs and I plan to continue to explore what else they have available, even though I’m at a place where I don’t really feel I “need” it anymore. Really nice work to the creators of Mend. Bravo in your intention and execution. 👏 ### 4/5 — easy to use and really works but not enough self care *2021-11-20, version 4.0.1* I just resumed my subscription for a second break up. I found mend a few years ago when I was truely heart broken when I broke up with the man Who was my soul mate. I really do attribute mend and the journals to helping me get back on the horse and in another healthier relationship just 4 months after. I honestly don’t think I would have said yes to him and I would have missed so much love. So here I am, break up again. Different reason different circumstances and mend is bringing new and different things out in me. The only thing that really irks me about the app is how few “self care” choices there are. I wish there was a “fill in the blank option” I would love to keep track of my self care but there what they have doesn’t fit me and what I do. Like spa. Spa should totally be an option. ### 1/5 — Inaccessible for Lower Income People *2021-09-25, version 4.0.1* I’ve used Mend over the years as needed and it’s been enormously helpful in my healing of past heartbreaks. Over the years it went from entirely free to exorbitantly expensive. I understand there are costs to maintain staff, have those great articles, salaries, support… I just wish they had cheaper options for people who can’t afford to spend a minimum of $60 for the most basic level program. It gives richer people access to resources and perpetuates the idea that if a certain class/income bracket of people can’t afford it, they don’t deserve it, and they’ll have to fend for themselves. Elle please make another app for lower income women or create a simpler program that costs less. Something that charges weekly instead of every 3mo. ### 3/5 — Needs some honeing *2021-02-24, version 4.0.1* I’ve been using the app for about two months now and I didn’t have a chance to use it before the major update but a few nitpicky items: -I hate the pictures of faces when it asks how you are feeling. They are confusing, poorly drawn and don’t display enough emotions to convey how someone is feeling that that -what is the purpose of putting in how we feel/write in our journal/self care, all of these check ins when they don’t consolidate the data or do ANYTHING WITH IT to show our progress? All we see is a circle that’s half full? Why not make it impactful for us to see our progress in visuals? Something? -after finishing the checklist, there’s VERY few articles to read, it was only useful the first day. It’s almost a cop out, making it seem like we are getting more for what we paid, when we don’t. Currently this app is not worth the $60 and definitely not worth continuing on using unless these updates are made. ### 5/5 — Well worth it *2021-02-18, version 4.0.1* I highly recommend Mend. This is the first app review I have ever written because I believe this is a great product. The lessons have given me comfort during heartbreak but also helped me process what happened and develop a new perspective and forgiveness to move on. I don’t agree with everything it says, but I like how the app asks for your feedback and caters the lessons around you. Review the journals has been extremely valuable. Definitely worth it as a supplement to any work you are currently doing! ### 5/5 — Heartbreak recovery *2020-10-16, version 4.0* I was going through two major break ups with two guys I thought I could have future with . One break up happened in 2018 and I was not familiar with apps that are available to heal me and then I found this app and I like how every day I get up to a support where I can feel like myself and I can learn new topics everyday and practice those topics with me . I also had another break up in 2020 and the similar thing happened the break up happened after 7 months . I did see so many red flags in the relationship but did not realize there won’t be any future with this person . I like how in one lesson I learned that the future we see in our relationship is not always a future we think is meant for us . Thank you ### 3/5 — Love the concept, needs work. *2020-10-05, version 3.1.6* I found the first 12-15 days SO tremendously helpful. The trainings were relevant, the journaling prompts gave me a space and time for my feelings so I could stop focusing on them all day, and I really felt like I was making progress. Then the trainings suddenly became really irrelevant, even though I was selecting the topics I felt would be most helpful. Two weeks out of a tremendously painful breakup, I don't want to hear encouragement to start dating again, or what to look for in a next partner, or really anything about the future other than taking care of myself, grieving, letting go. I rarely listened to the trainings after this shift, so I paid for 3 months of content when I barely used 1. I wish you either could work on the consistency/relevancy of the trainings, or have shorter time periods of commitment available. Really great start, disappointing finish. ### 4/5 — Mostly love, but some suggestions *2020-08-03, version 3.1.6* Mend has been tremendously helpful navigating a breakup that has left me feeling utterly heartbroken. However, I feel that some of the trainings aren’t always the most helpful. For example, my training today was about “why you keep going back to your ex” and one of the possible reasons was seeking validation. I’m not going back to my ex partner and never used him as a way to seek validation. Like I said, I really do love this app, but wish the reasons for breaking up we’re more broad. I couldn’t find anything that fit the end of my relationship specifically, and perhaps that is why I’ve found a few trainings unhelpful. ### 2/5 — Got Over My Heartbreak in a Day *2020-05-23, version 3.1.6* I gave this app 2 stars because it helped me to get over my break in a day. After, I saw the prices to continue after the 1st day that is. That cured me of wanting to spend any more time and money in this case. I'm not about to spend my hard earned money when I don't even really know what I'm getting after 1 day. I already wasted enough time on a one sided relationship as it is. Don't get me wrong I do like the concept of this app. I just think the prices are a little steep. At the very least this app could offer a free 7-14 day trial to see if it's even worth the cost going forward. ## Frequently asked questions about Mend ### What does Mend do?
