Love the new update!

This app is great and it just got even better with the latest update. A bunch of new features which I really wanted. Thank-you!

NOT simple

it’s VERY ridged

its aggravating and far too complex and its not clear what it wants in each step

you think it wants 1 thing but then the next step makes it clear you did it wrong

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry the steps felt unclear — the app is meant to make CBT simple and supportive, not frustrating. I truly value your feedback and will keep it in mind for future updates. If you’d like to share more about what felt confusing, I’d love to hear from you at support@squeakbyte.com. And if this app isn’t the right fit, I hope you find one that supports your needs well.

This app has helped me. And I wish it has Chinese version

This app has helped me deal with my fear and depression when i'm in a hospital waiting for a surgery. I hope it to has multi-language versions, in my case Chinese. My mom has been diagnosed with cancer, I want her to be happy for the rest of her life, but she doesn't understand english. I would appreciate it if the interface of and texts in this app can be set to other languages. Then i can get her download this app. I can do the Chinese translation work, as a volunteer.
If you're going to do this, you can contact me. I will check the latest reply regularly. Thanks.

5 stars

Great app! 5 stars because I love this app and the developer made a fix for an issue I was having with the swipe down (thank you, you rock!) :)

Response from developer

Sorry for the frustrating experience when accidentally swiping down. I have pushed up a fix in the latest version 1.0.2 🥳

Love the simplicity, sometimes frustrating

I really love the simplicity of this app but I’ll be honest sometimes it’s frustrating. If you accidentally swipe down on an entry you are creating you completely lose everything you’ve typed and there is no way to get it back. This is happened to me about 5 times using the app and honestly I don’t know if I can keep using it because of that.

pls add account save feature ! great app

great app! i just wish there was an option to create an account and attach ur entries to it. or to bookmark or star entries that may be helpful to revisit later. I’m not sure if these things are an option but i looked around all the features and couldn’t find the optionㅜㅜ dev pls consider adding

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest review! If you happen to still be using this app. These features have been added 🥳

Love it

And thank you for keeping this app free 🥰

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! 😊

GREAT CBT App

I love this app it had been such a perfect way to process my thoughts. I’ve recommended it to everyone in my CBT therapy group. The features are free and so easy to use 10/10 recommend

Response from developer

I appreciate your review and it warms my heart to know I made an app that is helpful!

Wonderful app, but a passcode feature would be great!

I would use this pretty regularly if I had the ability to lock my entries. Any chance that might be coming soon?

Response from developer

I will add it to the list of requested features. This is a side hobby of mine so I can’t make any promises on how soon the feature could be added. If you happen to still be getting value from this app Apple added a new feature in the latest iOS update that allows you to lock apps so they require Face ID or your passcode to open the app. If you press and hold on the app icon (like you were to delete to app) then you should see an option that says something like “Require Face ID”. If you tap on that it and tap on the popup “Require Face ID” then it should lock the app so it can only be opened by your face using Face ID. 🎉🙌

My Favorite Mental Health App

This was exactly what I was looking for after I read David Burns’ “10 Days to Self-Esteem” and desired an app that updated popular CBT techniques like the Daily Mood Log into a mobile, user-friendly form. I enjoy how streamlined and minimalist it is too.

Response from developer

I’m glad you find the app to your liking. I appreciate your review!

Amazing app

This app has been extremely useful in helping me write out my thoughts and also showing me what in my thought process is distorted and how to effectively break that cycle of distortion. This is such an amazing tool to provide to people and the fact its completely free and not half locked behind a paywall is really amazing.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review! I’m glad my skill set is able to provide useful tools 🛠️😊

Great! Simple tool.

As a therapist in training I’m on the look out for extra tools to help especially younger tech-wise clients connect with the tools and skills from session.

Works fine now

Thanks

Response from developer

Sorry about that. The newest version should fix the bug you were experiencing. I hope you will give the app another try.

Awesome app, but would love reminders!

This app is super clear and relevant to CBT thought records. I think it would be helpful for their to be a reminder feature, especially for using this regularly!

Response from developer

I’m happy you like it! I’ll add reminders to the list of features I’m working on. 😊

Great app, just missing one thing

This app is great! It has all the necessary functionality for a thought diary while still being simple and clear. The only request for the developer I have is to please include a feature to export multiple entries at once! This could be based on multi-select or, ideally, time frame.

Response from developer

I’m glad you are enjoying the app. 😊 I’ll see what I can do about exporting multiple entries at once!

Favorite app!

I love this app it’s EXACTLY what I was looking for. And right to the point , so you can actually just jot down your thoughts and do the exercise effectively and efficiently. Love it . Told my doctor and friends about it. Get it !

Response from developer

Aww thanks for the kind words and telling others about it. I appreciate it 😊
