I didn’t know there was a way to make me feel worse about myself but this app managed it. ### 2/5 — To cancel is stressful *2025-10-16, version 2025.09.2001* Made the mistake of doing a free trial. To cancel is stressful they have different instructions for every way to sign up. The thing that is supposed to help you does more damage with the subscription canceling . ### 5/5 — Easy to open up *2025-09-12, version 2025.08.0202* It’s hard sometimes to open up and get raw with a person setting in front or behind you writing notes so with this mental app it makes it so easy to just spill it knowing there’s no judgment or embarrassment and it’s so much easier to tell the truth and not minimize things you have done knowing you will have a better, more accurate session when the truth is revealed more so than one where there’s half truths or down-right lies. I am at complete ease with this app. And Also knowing that you are talking to something that has more wisdom than any human helps tremendously. ### 2/5 — Can be dangerous *2025-09-07, version 2025.08.0202* Be very careful with this app and take everything with a grain of salt. It sometimes doesn’t know how to differentiate between seeking support and external validation. This can be very dangerous for abuse victims where it will tell you that telling someone about something is a form of you seeking external validation and pathologises you. A real therapist is a MUCH MUCH better option but I know a lot of people can’t afford one including me which is why I’ve used this app. Just be careful please. ### 5/5 — The ai! *2025-09-03, version 2025.08.0202* I was using Ash and also ChatGPT to work through some things but Mental’s ai is so much better ### 5/5 — Amazing customer care *2025-08-27, version 2025.08.0202* Amazing communication from the app team, and care for customers, highly recommend for this reason ### 5/5 — Helpful and Insight *2025-08-13, version 2025.08.0202* I’ve tried a lot of apps with no results. The amount of insight and guidance I am receiving has been great! ### 5/5 — TERRIBLE *2025-08-08, version 2025.08.0202* Came back to the app after paying for a yearly subscription and now it’s telling me I need to pay again!!! ### 5/5 — Ai coaching is standout *2025-07-28, version 2025.06.2401* Wow. Had some things I was dealing with. A few sessions were just so so. But then it’s like it clicked. Had back to back sessions that rocked me. Totally fixed what I was going through just by a major mindset shift. Barely have used the coaching sense cuz I don’t need it anymore. 😂 But still good to have this app in my back pocket! Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Simply The Best *2025-07-23, version 2025.06.2401* Having used this app for over a year now, I am not sure what I was doing before. From the coaching, to the protocols, to the book summaries, it has been not only a game changer, but, a life changer. I can’t speak highly enough of this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2026-07-26, version 2025.09.2001* This says there is a summary section of session notes after each session. After each session, it says it’s computing and will be available in therapy tab. NOT in tab. NOT anywhere on any of the tabs. APP SUPPORT just sends you back to your main page when you select and request help. There is NO TECH SUPPORT OR GUIDANCE FOR THIS APP. The FAQ page doesn’t even give you an option to ask or narrow it down. It just gives answers to other people’s inquiries. ### 1/5 — Beware *2026-05-18, version 2025.09.2001* Can’t speak to the app itself, just wasn’t for me. Nearly impossible to cancel trial. Been waiting 2 days for someone to contact me to verify I won’t be charged.. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-02-20, version 2025.09.2001* Do not waste your precious time, energy, money, patience, or resources on this app. Total overpriced garbage, you can do much much better using the free version of ChatGPT. Also, be forewarned, you will not get a refund when you request one. App is faulty, and doesn’t work. Spare yourself the heartache, headache, and troubles. ### 1/5 — Scammy *2026-02-16, version 2025.09.2001* Not a good way to get someone to trust you when you can’t even lay out your website to cancel Honestly it’s been almost a year since I first got scammed and now I’m just triggered again this kind of business practice is unacceptable ### 1/5 — Crooks *2026-02-09, version 2025.09.2001* What does 60 dollars get you? Not a lot. Little daily forced relevance snippets. I like the concept, so signed up for a trial. Found little use for it after one day. It has a coaching process for cold exposure. But I already do cold exposure. Also, it’s basically a stopwatch. The ai is kinda neat. Which you can do without the app. I don’t see the point. Customer service is non-existent. Can’t get a refund for going five minutes over the trial period. But it seems like this is the whole business model. Update: I wrote to support as the developer response pretended to offer. They told me sorry, nothing can be done. Have a great day. So that response was just lip service. Terrible business from front to back. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-01-06, version 2025.09.2001* Money grabby and overcomplicated. ### 1/5 — DON’T DO IT!! *2025-12-29, version 2025.09.2001* A money grab w/ no way to cancel ### 1/5 — HARD TO CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION *2025-12-18, version 2025.09.2001* Just make sure you find out how to cancel it before going for it. They will get your card number and won’t make it as an option to click and cancel. You need to email them with a number and they don’t have a good customer service. ### 1/5 — Annoyingly deceptive *2025-12-07, version 2025.09.2001* It gave me like two great sessions with the AI like talking to it like I actually ended up talking to it for her over an hour. The first time it was awesome, but then it locked the therapy and only after I paid for a full year could I unlock it! For whatever reason, even trying to do the free trial, it kept saying my card was declined. ### 1/5 — Huge delayed response times *2025-09-17, version 2025.08.0202* Thought I would give this a little go but unfortunately when you ask a question to the AI tool the response times are huge. I waited for three minutes for a response which still never came so I gave up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A few bumps *2026-07-10, version 2025.09.2001* For the past 220 days, I have seamlessly integrated Mental into my morning routine without fail. Every day, I let my dogs outside, come back in, and spend about five minutes reflecting on the insights I’ve gained from the app. On day 217, I experienced a setback when my progress reset to zero even though I listened to it like always. Initially, I was disappointed and considered giving up. However, I’m proud to say that I’ve now maintained my commitment for 220 consecutive days. Despite that reset, I refuse to let a number deter me from using such a valuable tool. Throughout these 220 days, I’ve encountered some of the same daily deuces multiple times—some even three or four times. While this might seem frustrating, I believe the repetition is beneficial. The time invested in listening has significantly impacted my mental well-being. As a man navigating today’s challenges, I find it incredibly rewarding. As an elder millennial, I was raised to bottle up my feelings and trust very few, yet society portrays a certain image of masculinity that often equates vulnerability with weakness. Mental has provided me with a space to shift my mindset and cope with some of the toughest moments I’ve faced. In conclusion, despite the app's flaws—like hearing the same deuces repeatedly or the inability to restart your protocols, and the wipe away of my streak. I wholeheartedly give it five stars. I believe every man, boy, and elder should incorporate this into their daily routine. Thank you for your dedication, and please continue to support men across this platform. ### 5/5 — Self Reflections *2026-06-02, version 2025.09.2001* Never of I felt so much help in such a little amount of time. This therapy is amazing. ### 5/5 — Enlightened *2026-05-21, version 2025.09.2001* I thought it was spotty when it named my unconscious desires. But it finally made a connection to what help me feel free. To notice the patterns, even therapy hadn’t helped with. It takes while for a pattern to develop, but overtime it will lead you realize things even therapy hasn’t lead you to. ### 5/5 — I like this *2026-05-05, version 2025.09.2001* I enjoy having someone along with me for my training, it’s highly appreciated. ### 5/5 — Great App for Discipline *2026-04-30, version 2025.09.2001* Learned a lot and great training for the mind ### 5/5 — Mental app *2026-04-07, version 2025.09.2001* Great app for those who need a push ### 5/5 — For men *2026-04-01, version 2025.09.2001* Amazing app for men. My son needed guidance and a friend recommended this app. He had been following the advice and instruction the program provided, An amazing turnaround. Thank you Mental! ### 5/5 — Life changing. *2026-03-22, version 2025.09.2001* Seriously! Carrying around your therapist in your pocket who never forgets one word that's been said is amazing. Has helped me more than I ever imagined it could. ### 5/5 — You need it *2025-11-20, version 2025.09.2001* Helped me so much. Seeing a therapist once a week is great and I still do that…but I got problems everyday!! Not every week!! This helps me get things out and work on them the same day instead of letting them bounce around my head for a week. Even if you’ve never done therapy, this is absolutely the move. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-11-02, version 2025.09.2001* The recipe for therapy is this: Brutally honest vulnerability + willingness to face your flaws and fears + taking action to apply the feedback and knowledge = a favorable position and direction in life. Doing that digitally is no different. There is an advantage to the AI have a perfect memory to make connections from all of your previous discussions. I have felt seen and understood and I’m using the feedback to improve myself. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
