### 1/5 — Only if you pay

*2026-04-24, version 5.3*

I am all for covering the costs of development and paying fair wages. That said - if you wanted to test drive this - you get 1 note. You get 1 shot. 
Not very useful and there is no way to test drive it. 
So deleting. And going to try another.

### 2/5 — Greedy Subscription Model

*2025-11-16, version 5.3*

I like the concept of this app, it was useful for my anxiety and OCD, however i’m not impressed with the developers decision to opt for a subscription model. i was informed that i had exceeded my monthly limit for free entries, it doesn’t specify what the monthly limit is but i only used it maybe twice a week, so it seems odd that i’ve supposedly already surpassed the limit. i was then shown an ad to purchase a subscription to be able to keep using the app. a one time payment of $11.99 seems somewhat excessive but could be reasonable, wanting to lock me into a subscription at $11.99 a year is a little absurd. i’m sick of these greedy subscription models, and of apps that advertise themselves as “free” on the app store only to become impossible to use without making a purchase. why can’t you guys just show ads and make at least the most basic functionalities of the app usable for free, like app developers used to do?

### 4/5 — Ausbaufähig aber toll

*2024-01-12*

Ich finde die App sehr sinnvoll und sie hat mir schon dabei geholfen meine Gedanken besser einordnen zu können und grübeln zu stoppen. Es wurden ähnliche Taktiken wie in meiner Therapie genutzt. Allerdings ist die App noch nicht sehr user freundlich.

### 5/5 — Simple but exactly what I was looking for

*2023-12-07, version 5.3*

Structured very well.  No addons to buy.  Even works offline.

### 5/5 — Meditating, breathing, coping needs real voice

*2023-10-07, version 5.3*

I really see how effective this app is, except for the recorded mechanical voice for meditations, breathing and coping.  A real voice would make it so much better.  The current voice makes that portion of the app unusable to me.

### 1/5 — Not enough

*2023-07-27, version 5.3*

It’s clear that minimal effort was spent on the app. For a pedi subscription they could have done so much better.

### 5/5 — I don’t use anymore

*2023-06-18, version 5.3*

I used to use this app and it was perfect for what I needed. Very simple and I could see the logs easily. I liked it so much I even purchased it. But then they changed it to this new interface and now I don’t even use it anymore. It has way too many other things like meditation and breathing that I can get with other apps. They tried to put too much into this app when it wasn’t necessary. I just needed something to track my worries. Developers if you read this, please consider switching it back to the old interface. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2023-06-10, version 5.3*

This app used to be great, but now you need to buy a subscription in order to do anything. You can’t even track your mood anymore. I bought the app years ago, so I don’t know if it still costs money or not, but it feels dumb that I bought the app and am supposed to also buy a subscription in order to do essentially anything on the app.

### 1/5 — Do NOT BUY THIS APP!!!

*2023-05-09, version 5.3*

This App appears to be wonderful  when I downloaded it and started using it. However, I then wanted to listen to the guided meditations and I had to pay the subscription first, which I did. When I started listening to the guided meditations the voice was this horrible, mechanical, monotone. It definitely NOT relax me but made me feel even more tense!!!  I thought it extremely sneaky of the owners to make one pay first before one finds out about this. I managed to get a refund from Apple. Do NOT buy this App. You’ll regret it. I definitely do NOT recommend it. I’d give it no stars if I could. It’s AWFUL!!!!

### 5/5 — Very good but one problem

*2023-04-12, version 5.3*

Should you put the feeling some where else he cause I didn’t  see I t it there
