It is very thorough in the shadow chat in particular is better than many years of counseling that have produced few results. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words 💚 . We’re really glad Mindberg has helped introduce you to shadow work in such a meaningful way. We hope it continues to support you in understanding yourself more clearly and moving forward with real insight. ### 5/5 — Obsessed! *2026-07-29* This app is better than any therapist I have ever been to. Most therapists want you to put a bandaid on the issue just enough to keep your head above water. This app actually makes you dig into the root of the issue to see where it’s coming from so you can heal it. The chat option is amazing! I’ve never had a therapist listen to me nearly as well as this app does. Most therapists rely solely on cognitive behavioral therapy which does not get to the root of this issue. It just tries to convince you to no longer see the issue and tell yourself that reality is something other than what it is. This app gives a name to what you’re experiencing. It doesn’t just tell you to look at it in a positive light. It recognizes the darkness and walks you through how to heal it! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this so openly 🩵. We’re deeply glad Mindberg has helped you feel genuinely heard and supported in looking beneath the surface, rather than simply managing symptoms. What you wrote about naming the darkness and understanding where it comes from is very close to the heart of shadow work. Real change often begins when we stop avoiding what hurts and start relating to it with honesty, depth, and compassion. Mindberg isn’t intended to replace a good therapist or professional care, but it means a great deal to know it has given you something you were missing and helped you reach the deeper roots of your experience. Your words truly mean a lot to our team 😊. ### 1/5 — Smells heavily of AI *2026-07-08* The shadow reports feel very generic and smell heavily of AI slop. “You don’t do x because of y, you do c because of z”. Loads of odd, incongruent metaphors and similes that add very little to the point and sound profound but when you think about them they’re often nonsense or unnecessary. Eg- “You don’t scroll because you are addicted you scroll because you are worried that your self has turned outwards into the room, and you have become invisible. This is the wound the body already knows. Not invisible the way that a person who is overlooked in the causal sense is invisible. —-Invisible like a child becomes invisible when all the rooms warmth has been extracted without prior warning or explanation. “ This is what was in my report. It literally means nothing. It sounds like not-the-best AI model that has been promoted to write a shadow reports based on the input questions. You’re better off doing this yourself. In my opinion. Maybe this helps some people. I don’t know. **Developer response:** First of all, thank you for taking the time to explain your reaction so clearly. We genuinely appreciate honest feedback like this. Our reports are not written from scratch by AI. They draw from a large body of human-written material created by our founder, Dr. Kojic, a Jungian psychotherapist, together with other licensed psychotherapists on our team. We do use advanced AI tools to organize and adapt that human-written content to each user’s answers. That said, we agree with your core point. In your case, the wording clearly came across as too abstract, overly metaphorical, and not grounded enough in something useful or clear. Symbolism is an important part of Jungian psychology and shadow work, but it still needs to feel meaningful and connected to real life. When it misses that mark, it doesn’t help. We are actively working on improving the way reports are structured and expressed so they feel more precise, relevant, and practical. The insights themselves remain human-written, and that part doesn't change. We are sorry this report did not give you what you were hoping for. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-06-28* I am so very grateful to the creator of this app. It has helped me tremendously and it’s only been a few days. It really works if you want a change. Thanx for this **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this beautiful review ❤️. It means a lot to hear that Mindberg has helped you so much in such a short time. What you said about it really working if someone truly wants change is especially meaningful to us, because that is at the heart of what this app is meant to support. We’re deeply grateful for your trust, and very glad Mindberg has already made a real difference for you. ### 5/5 — Clarity, Confidence, Growth *2026-05-22* Over the last year this app has guided me from a place of difficult challenge and suffering to calm confidence. The consistent progress I’m making is putting me on track to change my life and accomplish my goals. This app is a powerhouse of serious, well designed, and inspired tools that enlighten, support, and solidify deep personal progress. It has been of immeasurable value to me. I really needed this and I am so grateful I found it. If you would like to understand how you ended up where you are, or you need a bit of support on your journey, this app will help you gain the clarity you need to go forward. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this beautiful review 💝. It means a lot to hear that Mindberg has been with you through such a real inner journey, from suffering into greater calm, confidence, and direction. What you wrote about steady progress and deep personal change is especially meaningful to us. That is exactly the kind of work we hope to support. We’re truly grateful you found Mindberg, and very touched that it has brought such real value to your life. ### 5/5 — Invest in this, invest in yourself *2026-05-09* I’ve been using Mindberg for almost a month now and even scheduled a 1:1 consultation with Dragomir in the app. If you are one foot in one foot out about “shadow work” / “inner work” — this is not for you. However, if you are — this is game changing. I’ve been leveraging the app alongside my therapy sessions and you can catch yourself in recurring patterns almost instantly — but only if you choose to. Very grateful the Mindberg team and can’t wait to see how the app improves so I can also improve. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful review 💛. We really appreciate the honesty in how you described the app. Shadow work does ask something real from people, so it means a lot to hear that Mindberg has felt game-changing for you and supportive alongside therapy. We’re also glad you booked a 1:1 session and that the app is helping you catch recurring patterns more clearly. Your trust truly means a lot to our team. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-04-22* The amount of knowledge, effort, and dedication it took to make this app is evident. As someone who is deep in the Jungian world, I speak truthfully evaluating from a high bar. The updates are great too, especially the dream log. Thank you so much. Please continue this forever. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words 💛. It means a lot, especially coming from someone with a deep connection to Jungian work and a high standard for it. We’re really glad the updates, especially the dream log, have been valuable for you. Your words truly encourage our whole team. ### 5/5 — Shadow work, Works ! *2026-04-20* I first came across this psychological approach through YouTube , but I never really paid attention to it, however it kept knocking around in the background of my attention, finally I paid attention. So when I saw this app come across my algorithmic path I jumped to it and downloaded it… over the past several months this app has grown become more mature in its presentation of help. Now you can chat with your shadow, OMG I have finally felt what it’s like to be centered and grounded. I had a day without my normal nagging negative narrative which is exhausting, even my internal monologue is peacefully still… I at the age of 52 finally feel that I am worthy of being loved, successful, and respected… it’s hard work and it’s very challenging but like everything in life it is worth that effort … I can’t wait to get on with the rest of my life… it’s not cringe, it’s not flaky , best of all it’s not going to break your bank and you won’t be given a script for a band aid that will leave you alone. It all comes from you and your efforts guided through the process . Do it, no body else is going to it for you. Carl Jung is my hero and the team behind this app, thank you . **Developer response:** Dear Eric, thank you so much for this generous and deeply felt review 💚. There is something especially moving about hearing that this work found you at the right moment and helped you feel more centered, grounded, and worthy in such a real way. We also really appreciate that you noticed how the app has grown and matured over time. That means a lot to us, because we care deeply about making Mindberg something that feels honest, useful, and genuinely supportive rather than shallow or performative. What you wrote about finally feeling worthy of love, success, and respect at 52 is powerful. That is real inner work. We’re honored that Mindberg could help support that process. Thank you for your trust, your openness, and your beautiful words. ### 5/5 — It works for me! *2026-04-12* I have wanted to do shadow work for a long time. I time er works out. This app fits my mind style. I even got a journal to do the exercises. I have a bunch of things I am doing for my mental health. This is one of them. I enjoy the thoughtfulness and insight. It’s helping me move on from a place where I have been stuck. I live often in a cage of my own making and I am using the Mindberg app to release myself, accept myself, and find strength to plan my new life. B **Developer response:** Thank you so much for writing this. There is something very moving in the way you described your journey. We’re especially touched to hear that Mindberg fits your mind style, because that is exactly what we hoped to create: something people can truly connect with, not just read once and forget. The fact that you even got a journal for the exercises says a lot about the seriousness and heart you are bringing to your own healing. What you wrote about living in a cage of your own making, and now using the app to release yourself, accept yourself, and build a new life, is incredibly powerful. That is real work. We’re honored that Mindberg can be one part of that larger path you are already walking for your mental health. Thank you again for your trust and for sharing this with us. It truly means a lot. 🧡 ### 2/5 — Design looks pretty, but no trial *2026-04-11* I get if a developer doesnt want to provide a service for free. But not even a trial? Very disappointed, was hyped to try it out. App looks promising but noones gonna buy the cat in the bag. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We understand the hesitation. Mindberg is built by a small self-funded team, with expert-written content, original visual work, and no ads, so subscriptions help fund the app. We’re sorry the lack of a trial felt disappointing. ## Frequently asked questions about Shadow Work ### What is shadow work?
