### 2/5 — Don’t run walk

*2026-09-02, version 3.30.0*

Beat it

### 2/5 — What happened to the music?

*2026-04-19, version 3.26.0*

Only thing I used this app for to relax and now it’s gone :)

### 4/5 — It’s okay

*2026-01-10, version 3.25.0*

This app is great for people who really want to relax and understand themselves, it’s just, it feels more like a lesson than an app that helps understand you more. Not a bad app, but if you prefer straight answers I wouldn’t recommend downloading, no hate though 💗

### 1/5 — Unsolicited fee

*2025-12-06, version 3.23.0*

Keep charging the fee, after I canceled subscription last year

### 5/5 — It was there when I really needed it

*2025-11-16, version 3.23.0*

I was in a really dark place around a year ago and Shmoody really helped me pull myself out of the rut I had gotten stuck in. I will absolutely use when I need it again

### 5/5 — Love!

*2025-11-15, version 3.23.0*

This app is so cute! I love how many things you can get to do even without purchases! It’s so fun.

### 5/5 — Amazingggg

*2025-11-15, version 3.23.0*

I love it so much, I’ve been struggling this week because my girlfriend hasn’t been at school because she’s recovering from surgery and has to stay home sadly  and I actually really love this.

### 4/5 — Overall great

*2025-11-12, version 3.23.0*

This app is targeted for people who are feeling rock bottom with little direction or motivation to take action in their life. I chose the gamification option and find it cute. There’s a cute celebration animation when you earn points doing various activities.

The audio in this app is better than most. I have a lifetime sub to Calm and I find that it often falls short. The soundscapes and nature sounds are really nice, and I love that binaural beats are included. 

I also love the goal section, where you break your goals down into smaller, actionable chunks, and it seemingly randomly assigns point values to them. So you have to break them up accordingly, or just deal with the randomness. It’s a nice UI.

The life wheel assessment is also great. You choose what your wheel is composed of and can reassess whenever.

There’s all AI chat which is pretty good. I don’t rly use AI but honestly this one is well-suited for functionality within the app. I feel like the people who designed this app really know their stuff and have good taste.

One major thing I would recommend is a way to spend your points and being able to build a cozy home or customize an avatar or something. 

I haven’t unlocked all the levels so maybe that is available.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-11-10, version 3.22.0*

I’m severely depressed and hate talking. I feel so open with Shmoody I can say anything and the responses are amazingly helpful, and encouraging. Bye bye therapist

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-06, version 3.22.0*

I was charged for one year by accident and could not receive a refund. Waste of money.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-08-24, version 3.29.0*

This app is very glitchy you can't check off the goals you complete or repeat goals without it freezing up.

### 1/5 — Features Blocked Behind Time Limits

*2026-08-17, version 3.29.0*

You can only access a couple features (including their ai chatbot 🙄) then it locks for 12 hrs until you unlock the other features. So you cannot use the task tracker or goal setting. So much use of AI in ties with mental health it’s gross. Not a fan and would not recommend.

### 1/5 — DO NOT SUPPORT SHMOODY

*2026-07-08, version 3.28.0*

shmoody charged my paypal $42.39 that paypal covered and then put my account in the negatives. i dont recall even downloading this app but i know if i did, i DEFINITELY wouldve cancelled before the trial ended and i was still charged. i see so many reviews of being blocked from cancelling the trial or being double charged. i am going through h3ll trying to resolve this as this is affecting my business with canadian customers considering they really only have paypal to send $ through. i have filed a dispute with apple and shmoody. i believe shmoody is a fraudalent app and will be facing a large lawsuit soon. i have no idea how its still on the app store. so much for mental health help, right? even if that was something i was looking for, they want to steal a mentally ill persons $ and block them from cancelling a trial.

### 1/5 — Thieves

*2026-03-18, version 3.26.0*

Keeps taking payments after cacellation. Reporting. Again

### 1/5 — Rarely use it

*2026-03-16, version 3.26.0*

I rarely use us,I been trying to cancel it for awhile and the app will not allowed to cancel and I have no idea how to cancel something that I do not use.

### 1/5 — Fraud!

*2026-02-17, version 3.25.0*

I hadn’t used this app in over a year and recently discovered more than £130 had been taken from my bank account. I was not aware of any active subscription and certainly did not knowingly authorise these payments.

I’ve contacted support requesting a refund and clarification, and I hope they resolve this promptly.

For an app marketed as ADHD-friendly, the subscription handling feels anything but. Many users with ADHD struggle with tracking recurring payments, which makes unexpected charges especially frustrating.

Very disappointing experience — I would advise others to double-check their subscriptions carefully.

### 1/5 — AI cat vibes meets pseudo-positive psychology startup

*2026-02-16, version 3.25.0*

I wanted to like this app.  I REALLY wanted to love it-- it's the first of its kind that's actually affordable 💥 but, unfortunately, it just felt like an endless horribly-gamified tutorial.  After each step of the setup, you have to watch a dumb, unskippable, animation of a cat dancing with imaginary points that rack up like you're giving a Google Maps review or something.  Then there's the infinite, unskippable AI chat bot tutorial.   Even though EVERY SINGLE AI EXPERT EVER says to not use AI for emotional support, this app basically forces the user to go down this dark path.  Look, I'm glad it helps others, but, as someone who was unable to complete the tutorial, I really don't recommend this app.  It feels disrespectful to my time.

### 1/5 — Beware!

*2026-02-09, version 3.25.0*

Cancelled months ago and removed the app. Still had an attempted $101.50 charge today (bank blocked it). I have receipts. Shady billing — be careful

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-02-09, version 3.25.0*

This app charged me even after canceling the free trial and not having an active account, no where on the app did it say I had a paid account yet they charged me over $200.

### 1/5 — Scam/Unsolicited fee

*2025-12-15, version 3.23.0*

Stay away! Keep charging the fee, after I canceled subscription last year. I emailed and have received no response

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great to use with home audio

*2026-08-30, version 3.29.0*

I’ve been using this app for awhile now and at this point I have to be honest… I’d be devastated if this app were to ever disappear! Like genuinely. The Hz sounds are amazing for helping regulate, and if you use ambient noise often like I do there’s a good amount of options there too! (Although I’d enjoy a few more additions lol) very cute and useful to have. 10/10

### 5/5 — The Best App for People with Depression

*2026-08-11, version 3.29.0*

this app is such a game changer, i love the sweet interactions you get with the AI and with real people in the community. it’s gentle, encouraging, and meets you where you’re at. perfect for someone who’s having a hard time even just getting out of bed in the morning like me.

### 5/5 — 10/10 - would recommend!!

*2026-08-07, version 3.28.0*

This app is honestly SO helpful and encouraging. I fell like I am taking real steps to become the best version of myself.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-16, version 3.26.0*

I love the app and the features are amazing 🤩

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-05-09, version 3.26.0*

So far it’s great, unfortunately my school did not provide an access code so I’ll have to delete it soon but wish I didn’t

### 5/5 — Much better than others

*2026-05-06, version 3.26.0*

This is the only personal development app I’ve ever stuck with. Like most of us , i tend to neglect the self improvement journey, but this is so nice and helpful for me. Well worth paying $40/ yearly subscription in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Love thisss

*2026-04-29, version 3.26.0*

Shmoody is a great app! I love the activity suggestions. I have come across a few bugs, nothing too bad, although I’ve been suggested to ‘Eat a snack with protein’ seven times in a row. Keep up the great work!!

### 5/5 — The best so far!!

*2026-04-12, version 3.26.0*

I have tried many productivity apps, and so far this is the best (for me at least, we are all different!)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-17, version 3.26.0*

It’s free and is good for your everything what else can I say the title is a sum of everything I guess.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-12-26, version 3.23.0*

I can get overwhelmed with everything that needs done and this helps me focus on one moment at a time. I enjoy chatting with the cat too.
