Not worth the costs
There are better apps for the same or lower costs.
Awful

Practical mental health management
For many years, my results came back as “critical”, which isn’t much of a surprise, given my history and diagnoses. But, I am happy to report that my results recently came back “poor” then “moderate” twice! I’m a little paranoid that the algorithm might have changed, as I still have been having symptoms. But, it’s hopeful nonetheless. I’ve shared these results with my PCP who specifically treats health problems related to mental illness, and she’s shown an interest in these results & technology.
Occasionally I have come across content that was perhaps careless in presentation, and it’s so important to understand that people suffering from mental illness will often interpret things in a different and more offensive way. I do think it’s important that developers take that feedback seriously, as it may result from unrecognized insensitivity & bias. But, overall, the content seems evidence based, coming from an academic and clinical perspective.

Best Use of AI Yet
Further, it works for
your mental health, which is invaluable. 🙂
The only draw back is the daily insights feature. Most of that content is just not helpful or insightful at all. It’s written for perhaps children who do not know to, for example, sleep at night for their health.
Maybe the apps authors could revise this feature to provide less frequent but higher quality insights that are more likely to actually be useful, informative, and directly correlated to a user’s inputs. The AI is really struggling here, and it also has a quality issue.
Some of the info the AI puts forth in “insights” is of a very low quality. It seems to be at least 10 years outdated, promotes a toxic mindset of gaslighting patients about their physical health concerns, and could worsen people’s health through the negative mental-emotional as well as negative physical impacts.

Could be helpful, but better apps out there
Their approach of splitting out the questions into small regular chunks was quite good, and made it quite digestible. The mood tracking was quite basic, didn’t give that many options of how you were feeling to select, and there was no capacity for logging factors that might be related to mood and wellbeing (eg exercise, stressors, menstrual cycle), like other apps have.
The biggest issue is that this seems to function as a massive ad for better help, at every step you are funnelled towards getting therapy with them, including this advice being delivered as if it is some personalised insight specifically for you. Betterhelp has a lot of issues, I know clinicians and clients that have serious issues with them, so I would really recommend people to do their research before using- and I note that BetterHelp has been very active in trying to suppress people speaking out about their concerns, they have been issuing legal threats.
Overall, I can’t recommend this app.
