My only issue is that there isn’t much to do, you should add mini games to take people mind off things. Or add affirmations or a mood tracker x ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-10-03, version 1.1.0* It helps me with my worries and I don’t have to worry anymore ### 5/5 — Just used for first time *2024-08-25* That put a smile on my face! I try journaling but it comes and goes. I feel guilty as I write, like what if someone reads this they will know my thoughts. Here, I can truly let go!!!!! Will use during anxiety attacks and other symptoms to stressors. **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Worry’s bye *2024-07-30, version 1.1.0* This app is soothing for me. It calms me to see it explode ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-07-11* I am so so so so in love with this app. I use it for my Journal Speak method when paper is too daunting. I just wish that the little guy burning up was longer. If there was a custom option that would be great. I would even pay for this app if it were so! **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Macie *2024-07-02* I like this app because you can talk about stuff your to scared to talk about in real life It’s AMAZING! Try it now! **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — 😊😃😁😄 *2024-06-28* Have you ever just wanted your worries to disappear? Just throw them all in a box and watch them burn! 📦🔥 **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Stress *2024-06-28* This helped me write everything that has been happening to me from my childhood and growing up to my older years. And to burn the box felt good and relaxed. Now to not dwell on it and if I do just burn the box to get rid of all those bad feelings! **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Great app for constant anxiety *2024-06-26* I am anxious about everything and I think this app helps me, I’m not saying this app cures your anxiety but it feels good to write your worries down and then *POOF* they are gone. I like to write them when I’m having trouble with negative thoughts it feels calming to put as many worried and feeling you have into a box and when you can’t think of anymore you burn it, it gives me a sense of relief that for now I don’t have to worry about them. It’s simple and it’s great 😁 (Also side note the little flame guy is so cute and always makes me smile, he always takes deep breaths and it’s nice to do it with him) **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Let Go *2024-06-19* The digital act of letting go. **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Worry box *2024-04-25, version 1.1.0* It’s good so like someone like me who has one at school it’s helps you ### 5/5 — Anxiety app works wonders! *2024-04-21* I have struggled with being over anxious and over thinking as well as stressing out. Being able to write down my feelings and refresh my mind feels so relaxing. It’s like your taking all of your worries out of you and on to paper. It also has a feature where you can burn the box, meaning if you want to “get rid” of the worry you can just “burn” it and never see it again. I would definitely recommend! 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — great!!!! *2024-03-16, version 1.1.0* lovely working app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No *2024-09-20, version 1.1.0* Made me sadder ### 1/5 — Great idea *2024-08-12, version 1.1.0* But I wrote out what was bothering me, and all I get when I put it in the box is a chime and no animation. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Unhelpful *2023-04-23, version 1.1.0* Seems terribly unhelpful and condescending. You just write down your worry put in a box and burn the box. That’s all. ### 2/5 — More to burn box *2025-12-28* I wish it would reply to you in a positive way and I also wish there were more things to this app not just burn box like satisfication games to relax yourself. ### 2/5 — Would be great if it worked *2024-08-03* Nice idea but I had to close and reopen the app in order to do anything. No way to get back to the box screen after clicking any buttons **Developer response:** Hey Naughtonhouse, thanks for letting us know about the bugs you've encountered. We're really sorry for the inconvenience. Our team is dedicated to making Shmoody better and your feedback is crucial for that. We're on it and hope to have a fix soon. - The Shmoody Team ### 2/5 — Review *2023-02-27, version 1.1.0* Would e been nice to actually watch the no. Burn. I feel cheated . That little second sizzle just didn’t do it for me. I’m sorry. ### 3/5 — Closest to what I need but missing one crucial option *2025-01-13, version 1.1.0* This app is pretty much the closest to what I need (I’m a CBT therapist and looking for apps to recommend to my patients), but CBT generally recommends setting aside a time to go over your worries. It would have been lovely to be able to schedule a time where you can see what’s in the box for 20 minutes, then burn the box. Then repeat the next day. I love that it’s simple.. no unnecessary fluff like meditations and gratitude journals. And that it’s accessibly: free, no needing to sign up and free trials etc. ### 3/5 — So… *2024-04-14, version 1.1.0* It’s super good and amazing for people who can’t write their worries down and just FORGET about them like me it’s there whenever I need it and it’s actually pretty helpful it’s helped me to clear my mind of a morning AND night before bed, but one thing it’s should reaping to my worries and give me affermations like “ don’t worry about those tests babe you’ll be fine “ for an example or maybe some productive daily quotes to help reduce worrying? Amazing overall just a bit bland and could do with more work x ### 3/5 — IT SAYS ITS LINKED TO YOUR LOCATION *2023-09-19, version 1.1.0* I love how adorable this looks???? BUT WHY DOES IT SAY IT MAY BE LINKED TO ME AND MY LOCATION!! I’m not getting something like that, it’s nerve racking- you guys have to fix this pls!!! 🥺💕 ### 3/5 — Helpful but needs better burn animation *2023-08-12* I really enjoy this app. However, I wish the burn animation of the box was slower and more satisfying. It just poofs and disappears which doesn’t help with effective visualization of releasing worries. A slower burn would be ideal. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-07* From some who suffered from health anxiety this is really helpful thank you! It help to have that feeling and writing something scary or bad we’re no one can read and it be gone forever thank you it really help 🥹 I hope this stays free so thanks **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — One of the best worry apps! *2026-03-17* It doesn’t bug with ads no fee and it’s just fun to see your worries or fears explode or burn **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Love this game!! *2026-02-04, version 1.1.0* This game was so relaxing to play. I would love to recommend this game to others!! ### 5/5 — Makes me feel way better *2026-01-13* This game makes me feel better and reduces most of my anxiety about my worries! **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — I love it so much *2025-07-22, version 1.1.0* It’s a amazing app ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-07-10* It is a helpful tool to have. As things occur it’s nice to be able to address them right away. It helps me keep track of my daily worries. **Developer response:** We're so glad you like the app and that you find Worry box helpful! - The Shmoody Team ### 5/5 — Helpful!! *2025-06-26, version 1.1.0* I find it nice to actually be able to get rid of the worries and seeing them burn, but I wish there would be a feature that allows us to see all the worries in the box before burning them, because it’s sometimes helpful to see a list before actually getting rid of them! ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-06-10, version 1.1.0* It makes me feel so good by getting rid of my worries really easily. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-04-19, version 1.1.0* It helps me a lot but I wold like it if you cold add more things like instead of putting you know, (Wright your worries down can help you feel better) maybe it could be an encouraging message ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-02-20, version 1.1.0* I just feel this sense of total relief when I burn the box.This app is totally free, so far.
