Toujours avec des choses cadenassées si on ne s’abonne pas… Vous devriez demander une seule fois si on veut s’abonner puis débloquer le tout et nous LAISSER TRANQUILLE. ### 2/5 — Pushing "Free Trial" on someone with extreme anxiety? (Updated) Also uses AI chatbot. *2026-06-04, version 3.1.46* (I have updated my review based on developer response.) I was not able to move past any setup without choosing the "Free Trial" with an $80 a year charge if I forget to cancel. I already was mid-panic attack about other things. All I wanted was something that would help and I had to choose the trial to see if this was the app that could. Spoiler alert, it didn't, because I had to first go in and cancel my free trial so I wouldn't forget and get an $80 panic attack. (Update: apparently there is a way to go past the screen for the free trial, but in my anxious state, I was unable to find it. Springing the cost on someone IMMEDIATELY upon first setup is lousy and feels more predatory than a helpful app should be.) Also, they use an AI bot for chats that you pay for. ### 2/5 — Forcing "Free Trial" on someone with extreme anxiety? *2026-05-31, version 3.1.45* I was not able to move past any setup without choosing the "Free Trial" with an $80 a year charge if I forget to cancel. I already was mid-panic attack about other things. All I wanted was something that would help and I had to choose the trial to see if this was the app that could. Spoiler alert, it didn't, because I had to first go in and cancel my free trial so I wouldn't forget and get an $80 panic attack. ### 5/5 — OMG(in a good way) *2026-05-27, version 3.1.45* guys, I’ve had anxiety and stress so so anxiety I hate interacting with people, but this app helped my anxiety so much my stress, my social anxiety. It helped me so much. I recommend this app. It helps you so much. At least it helped me.❤️ ### 5/5 — Mental health *2026-05-27, version 3.1.45* I have extremely bad panic attacks and anxiety, this app has helped me build a positive nighttime routine and I will forever thank this app for helping me. It obviously didn’t heal me but it helped a lot. I def recommend ### 3/5 — Paying *2026-05-26, version 3.1.45* You have to pay for all the epic stuff. Sad. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-24, version 3.1.45* Helps with anxiety a ton ### 5/5 — Все отлично! *2026-05-18* Понравилось приложение. Очень понятно, просто, по-доброму изложено. Буду заниматься. Спасибо! **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш 5-звёздочный отзыв! 💛 Нам очень приятно слышать, что Rootd кажется вам понятным, простым и поддерживающим. Спасибо, что вы с нами! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-05-17, version 3.1.45* Has helped me stay calm and give me something to do through out the day. ### 5/5 — Thank you to the developers *2026-05-09, version 3.1.45* I’ve had so many panic attacks in the past year and haven’t found a good way to cope with them so I had low expectations. However, this app has helped me SOOOOO much and I’m so grateful to the geniuses who thought of this and the developers who made it possible. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Благодарю 🫶🏾 *2026-05-08* Мне очень понравилось 😊 Идеальное приложение, пользовалась неделей и научилась справляться с паническими атаками! Идеально 🤍 **Developer response:** Большое спасибо за ваш отзыв на 5 звезд. Очень приятно слышать, что Rootd оказался полезным. Крепко вас обнимаю ✨ ### 4/5 — Thank you *2026-05-06, version 3.1.45* I have really bad anxiety from my father and this helps ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-04-23, version 3.1.45* This is an awesome app, the people who made this know what they are doing and care a lot about the well being of the people who use their app. I have two suggestions. Could you make chat with Ron free? I think that would make it so much better, I do love how you explain why it is payment only though. Maybe it doesn’t have to be his voice just like a little AI guy where you just type to him. Please make this available because It’s awesome but I feel like it could be better if you had less general tools and more personalized stuff. Second, YOU NEED TO ADD MORE THINGS! Sleep is a big one, there’s barely any free ones, and maybe just a place where you can vent cause I feel like there’s just not much to do once you have already finished journaling. Thanks 😊 ### 5/5 — Helps me when I’m about to have a panic attack in public *2026-04-21, version 3.1.45* It actually works ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-04-20, version 3.1.45* It helped me learn how to control my anxiety ### 5/5 — Built with real understanding *2026-04-12, version 3.1.43* What stands out isn’t just the features, it’s how thoughtfully everything is put together. The app feels grounded, intentional, and most importantly not overwhelming, even in moments when you’re already dealing with a lot internally. It feels like something built with a real understanding of anxiety and panic, not just in theory but in practice. Grateful it exists. ### 2/5 — On the panic button *2026-04-10, version 3.1.43* I tried the panic button once when i was having a real panic attack. The messages delivered when pressing the panic button had an unnatural delay. It did not really help me in providing relief or in surviving the attack. Please review the button functionality. I did find the concept and the rest of the apps contents to be good. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — On the panic button *2026-04-16, version 3.1.45* I tried the panic button once when i was having a real panic attack.

I did find the concept and the rest of the apps contents to be good. ### 1/5 — Charged for a year with free 7 day trial *2026-04-15, version 3.1.43* Sick of being robbed. Really am ### 1/5 — An error *2026-02-27, version 3.1.34* There’s an error. I haven’t even used it yet. It says how many days that I’m committed after I chose it, I tried clicking the button wahoo, but it doesn’t work like I can’t click the button ### 1/5 — Charged before trial ended *2026-02-08, version 3.1.32* Hard to trust an app that charges you before trial ends. Do not purchase this app if you have anxiety. Taking advantage of people with anxiety… shame. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-02-01, version 3.1.30* The worst I hate Yall for making this cause it doesn’t help and sucks you spent a wast of money on this stupid thing I wish Yall would never had made this YALL suck sucky suck suck I would never recommend this to even a 2 year old ### 1/5 — Говорит на украинском *2025-09-25* Стоит русский язык, почему все визуализации на украинском? **Developer response:** EDIT - Oct. 9: Спасибо за ваш отзыв!

Be careful. After you download then the app tells you that you will be automatically charged for the year subscription unless you remember to cancel. Sneaky business practices. Induces more anxiety rather than eliminating it. Fee should be advised up front before you download. Not a free trial or a free app if the app automatically charges you. ### 1/5 — 🙏 *2025-08-24* скачала приложение, но не могу зарегистрироваться через аккаунт apple: подтверждаю, но ничего не происходит исправьте, пожалуйста. по внешнему виду и начальных введениях мне очень понравилось, но воспользоваться и оценить само приложение я не могу из-за этой проблемы. **Developer response:** EDIT: Спасибо за ваш отзыв! 💙 Проблема с входом через Apple должна быть решена — попробуйте снова.
