### 4/5 — Sad

*2023-09-03*

Wish you didn’t have to pay for it. This is such a cute app.
The sub did seem a little pricy but that’s just me.

### 2/5 — It was okay...

*2022-06-29, version 5.5*

This app would be amazing if you didn't have to buy almost everything. It was really annoying, so I ended up deleting the app because of that reason.

### 3/5 — great app! but…..

*2022-04-23, version 5.5*

so overall, this app is really good. I love the daily sessions you get to have, cause it helps me be relaxed. but……..the subscription version. basically everything but the daily sessions have to be payed for, and for people like me who can’t pay for the sub version, start to not feel that relaxed anymore. yk? 
but please just unlock a few more stuff. other than that, this app is great! thanks for making it!🤍🪴

### 3/5 — not much.

*2022-04-14, version 5.5*

i wish there was more to be able to do without having premium! the little bit i did was great, but the others seem great too, and i can’t do any of them without subscribing 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 2/5 — Almost the whole app is just for premium user

*2022-02-24, version 5.5*

Been going through a rough time recently due to relationship problems and now a possible WWIII and today I decided to explore every corner of the app and what do you know? Almost everything in it is for premium users except for our daily mood check in which I think is a bit unfair as other apps I use aren’t like this, I’m thinking of uninstalling it tbh especially since it doesn’t seem to have a dark mode

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-02-07*

This is so good I learn how to love myself and care.

### 1/5 — Paying

*2022-01-09, version 5.5*

I couldn’t download any of my programs with out paying for it that’s stupid it stresses me out even more this is a horrible app!

### 2/5 — free up some stuff

*2021-11-28, version 5.5*

I like this app so far. but i feel like we should have to pay for every single add on. i feel like some of it should be free. at the end of the day, it’s a mental health app and not everyone can pay for it but need the help you know ?

### 1/5 — It was ok

*2021-10-02*

Unless you are willing to spend the money for the pass there is barley anything that you con do on the app. Not happy at all got rid of it right away.

### 5/5 — App

*2021-05-07, version 5.5*

This app has really helped me even tho it does cost money I still love to share my feelings!!
