### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Bugs found but quickly fixed

*2022-03-03, version 5.2*

Good app. Tools for dealing with anxiety and logging work together.

### 4/5 — Great app, calmed me down

*2022-02-04, version 5.1*

This app done great for what its intended to do. Once i have a worry or problem, i come here and jot it down. I then wait, knowing that i can balance and contain when i do or do not need to worry about specific things. And this app does it well!

The 1 star not marked is just the ui or quality of the app, when i first got it, i got a bit confused on how to used it, but eventually, i came through.
Thankyou.

### 3/5 — Need landscape mode for iPad

*2021-12-08, version 4.4*

It’s a well designed app but needs to have landscape mode for iPad since it’s much more useful to be able to use this app with a keyboard.

### 2/5 — Refund

*2021-08-20, version 3.21*

I accidentally got this app. Could I get a refund

### 4/5 — Add mood tracking please

*2021-05-26, version 3.21*

Similar to the cognitive distortions page. Also would be really nice if you could add graphing historical data

### 4/5 — Good app overall

*2020-10-20, version 3.18*

It’s a pretty good app. I like that you can’t create an account so they’re not storing your data anywhere (hopefully) and it’s securely. 
My one qualm is that when you go to look at all of your worries, they’re cut off so you can’t see the whole thing. An update from a while ago got rid of the ability to see the full title of your worry without clicking on it. I’m hoping they will add this feature back in a future update, it makes it difficult to see everything at a glance and would be such an easy fix.

### 4/5 — 整体思路很好，仍有待改进

*2020-03-21*

软件的核心是，记录焦虑的页面，这个页面是其它页面的基础。这个页面做得很简明，挺好的。软件的初衷也很善意。

可以做得更好的地方是，软件整体的交互方式也可以再简明一些。特别是几个一级页面的顶部导航栏，取消标题，变成按钮，带来了理解和摸索的压力。底部导航栏和顶部导航栏都没有标题，只有图标，对于绝大部分人来说，理解和摸索起来可能都会觉得很费神。

如果这个软件希望为更多人提供帮助，要尽可能做得让它简明易懂，天然就会用，而不是让人费神的去摸索。

### 1/5 — 太复杂了

*2020-03-16*

我可能不焦虑了。白花这20几元我长记性了。一想起这二十多元钱我的心就像滴血。

### 4/5 — 4星的原因

*2020-03-03*

如果界面能像苹果风格一样，我会给5星。

### 1/5 — Can’t do anything

*2026-08-29, version 5.3*

So, I have anxiety, I thought this app would help, but you can’t do ANYTHING except for the quotes without upgrading to premium. So get this app if you want to spend money

### 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.

### 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.

### 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!!!!

### 1/5 — Not using anymore

*2022-07-27, version 5.2*

I can’t find how to cancel my subscription. Please provide directions. Thanks.

### 1/5 — 无法使用

*2022-01-06*

收费

### 1/5 — 不推荐

*2021-11-08*

1. 产品交互逻辑混乱
2.产品文案机翻严重
3.产品稳定性很差，包括最新的4.1版，经常闪退，iPhone11，ios15（之前ios14时也经常闪退）
4.升级4.1版本后增加了冥想等花里胡哨的功能，削弱了产品原有主功能，感觉很混乱

### 1/5 — Ruined by recent update

*2021-11-05, version 4.0*

This was excellent. But this latest update is ghastly. It crashes every few seconds. I cannot even access previous records. It is confusing and cluttered, stressful to use. They have tried to do everything and done it badly instead of one thing really well. They have removed the ability to customise appearance and replaced what was a beautiful functional design with a cheesy zen garden aesthetic. I didn’t want a pretentious spa experience, I wanted a simple and safe place to deal with worries. I cannot even figure out how to use the worry tracker now. Have deleted, requested refund, and downloaded Worry Tree instead.

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2021-10-05, version 3.21*

Waaaay too expensive for what it does…
Very basic app for 4.49, save yourself some money and opt for notes or get a journal. 
Wish I never downloaded it!

### 1/5 — 乱收费

*2020-03-16*

为什么我卸载了还扣我钱

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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.

### 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!

### 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

### 5/5 — Panic Disorder and PTSD

*2022-02-27, version 5.1*

I have suffered panic attacks for longer than I can remember. This app helps not only track them for therapy use, but offer interactive questions and prompts to address that anxiety. I was finally diagnosed with PTSD three months ago, which have caused the panic attacks to significantly increase. I found this app by pure chance, but already extremely happy with it. Thank you.

### 5/5 — ✨👌

*2022-01-10, version 5.1*

I’m sure I have undiagnosed OCD. I have thoughts that make it hard to even enjoy my daily life. This really helped me become more self reflective and made it a bit easier for now. ✨✨👍

### 5/5 — Awesome application

*2021-12-11, version 4.4*

This application is amazing, I love it. The team is also incredibly dedicated. I had an issue with the application and I sent an email to support. They replied really fast and showed me a workaround, plus they implemented a fix!

Great application, amazing communication with the customers! I highly recommend it! 🥰

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic app

*2020-06-28, version 3.18*

Love this app. It is a fantastic way to journal your worries without risking anyone seeing them. Once you see your worries in black and white they look ridiculous! Helps you get things in perspective

### 5/5 — We need apple watch version.

*2019-12-09*

We use this app in daily life, and we need check or update the record, that’s will be convenient if we can use the app at Apple Watch.
It may incur more costs, but we think it’s worth to do.

### 5/5 — 한국어 버전에서 번역이 이해가 안되는 부분이 있습니다.

*2019-10-22*

용,반대,주의문 
이 세 가지는 게시해놓은 사진과 대조해보았을때 의미에 차이가 있어보입니다. 수정해주시면 감사하겠습니다.
