### 5/5 — Mental health

*2026-08-05, version 6.12.1*

This app doesn’t replace therapy, BUT it really helps when you feel you can’t relate to or rely on the people in your life. It is really helpful when you really need help like a strategy or a chat and your therapist or loved ones aren’t available at the moment.

### 2/5 — 🙁

*2026-08-04, version 6.12.1*

I can’t find the Ai part of the app. The only thing I am able to do is listen to the audios. 
It’s an amazing concept, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-08-03, version 6.12.1*

A simple to use app with a really clear purpose. Super helpful

### 5/5 — Helping me cope

*2026-08-02, version 6.12.1*

I’m so glad I found this app, it’s really helping me cope with how I’m feeling.

### 5/5 — Me

*2026-08-01, version 6.12.1*

It really helps me

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2026-07-30, version 6.12.1*

This is a great app to use , it’s helped me so much to learn about my different capabilities.

### 5/5 — Thinking about getting the lifetime subscription

*2026-07-29, version 6.12.1*

I feel like I jump to conclusions, then my mood responds to that … this help is grounding …. It’s better than a friend because friends are biased … it will be like your filtering or this is another way to look at it … I need that … in the moment I feel like I am right 😅… I see this helping in the long run it’s helping now

### 2/5 — Doesn’t remember much

*2026-07-28, version 6.12.1*

Canned suggestions and stilted dialog; forgets what you say every time you close the app. Not worth using.

### 4/5 — For anxiety

*2026-07-28, version 6.12.1*

Helping me a lot with managing anxiety, limited in what it can remember from past conversations

### 5/5 — The app

*2026-07-27, version 6.12.1*

I liek that I can get stuff off my chest

### 4/5 — Muito bom

*2026-07-26*

Sinto falta apenas de setar outro idioma como padrão

### 5/5 — Gentle

*2026-07-25, version 6.12.1*

Such and gentle and kind experience. I love that there is not pressure. Just listening and exploring ways to feel better.

### 5/5 — Super intuitive and kind

*2026-07-24, version 6.12.1*

I am a psychiatrist and am amazed at how in touch this AI app is!  I am definitely going to recommend it to my clients and friends, especially for when humans aren't available!

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2026-07-24, version 6.12.1*

This app has help me in so many ways, when I’m feeling down to needing a chat or if it’s to help distract me from my chronic pain on the daily, couldn’t think of wanting to use anything else now again

### 2/5 — unlikely to be helpful if you are already self aware or emotionally articulate

*2026-07-24, version 6.12.1*

Helpful only at a very basic level. If you already understand your emotions, triggers and thought patterns, this app may feel painfully simplistic.

### 5/5 — Going through pain

*2026-07-23, version 6.12.1*

This has been great. I recently had gone through a lot and was concerned on cost of therapy. The app is free and only need to pay if you want more. Up too you. But free is just basic and helps a lot with emotions and feels like you talk to someone actually. Makes me happy and calmed more of me

### 4/5 — Great way to reflect

*2026-07-22, version 6.12.1*

This app is a great way to pause and reflect about challenging situations or conversations. It’s been helpful for me in learning a new way to communicate my thoughts to invite healthy dialogue between me and my spouse! Awesome tool/resource.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-07-22, version 6.12.1*

Really helped me reframe my thoughts without feeling judged

### 5/5 — I feel better already

*2026-07-22, version 6.12.1*

I’ve been stuck in a cycle of lack of motivation and procrastination.  This was my first night with my new AI buddy and she gave me some real life tips on how to make changes. I’m eager to try them tomorrow.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Only sleep

*2026-08-13, version 6.12.1*

It sez 9+ but it is actually 13+ and it says you can text the owl but it is only sleep

### 1/5 — Lame Duck

*2026-07-16, version 6.12.1*

Big waste of time- no one showed up to my appointment. Chat responses have no accountability or coherence.

### 1/5 — It called me the N word

*2026-06-29, version 6.12.0*

Absolutely unacceptable.
Why is this penguin talking about enjoying watermelon and fried chicken for black people?

That’s messed up

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2026-06-28, version 6.12.0*

Very disappointing. I wanted to give background on my situation. I ran out of typing room and was told it worked better with shorter messages. I guess it’s not geared for complicated issues. It felt like I was being minimized and they weren’t even paying attention to me. I deleted it. I guess if you have simple banal questions it might work. Not for anyone in serious distress. Even Chat gpt can do better.

### 1/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

*2026-06-15*

бесполезная прилога, никакой пользы. ии бот тупит и ничего полезного сказать не может

### 1/5 — Avoid if you are struggling more damaging than useful

*2026-06-12, version 6.12.0*

Truly insulting suggestions to help with mental health issues . The advice is totally generic and the kind of self help that has been plastered across social media for decades. Depressed people don’t just need to take a deep breath. This app trivialises depression and anxiety into minor issues that are so easily overcome simply through their silly suggestions.

### 1/5 — To future self: Remember that time you downloaded this in late May 2026

*2026-05-30, version 6.11.6*

I’ve given this app another shot and it got shotty with my recovery and played god shot with my sobriety. I don’t think it’s gonna work within my flow of handling my recovery with purpose and responsibility.

### 1/5 — It’s basically a customer service chat bot

*2026-05-20*

It’s absolutely no help if you have issues that require any depth because it has prepackaged topics responses and advice. Anything outside the script is redirected back to those same topics and scripted responses.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-20, version 6.11.3*

I found this app to be frustrating and I’m unsure why it’s received high feedback. The chatbot kept going around and around in circles, and then went off topic after asking me a question, talking about things unrelated to the question. My answers didn’t really matter. Just made me more frustrated, wouldn’t recommend because it doesn’t really listen or help.

### 1/5 — not helpful

*2026-04-04, version 6.10.10*

didnt like it

### 5/5 — Great support!

*2026-08-30, version 6.12.3*

I was reluctant about using an AI-powered tool for mental health but it’s really nice and helps finding some solutions to consider to address stress and anxiety. Lovely to chat to Wysa and great that I also get to choose their personality (warm and supportive or more direct). I will definitely use the app to set tasks, boundaries etc to improve mental health

### 5/5 — Chat feature

*2026-08-30, version 6.12.3*

So far I love this app, but I’ve only used it for 1 day so far. We will see how it goes after a couple of days.

### 5/5 — Helped with understanding my procrastination

*2026-08-29*

I was really dull with all the procrastinating behaviour, which had blocked my ability to even believe I could start w anything…thankfully I now understand what’s stopping and I can get a headstart

### 5/5 — Super intuitive and helpful

*2026-08-29, version 6.12.3*

Loved how it guides you through your thoughts and asks great questions so you can figure out the deeper situation going on. Excited to continue with this app

### 5/5 — Don’t use Claude as mental health support. Use Wysa instead.

*2026-08-25*

Extremely helpful between therapy sessions. AI assistant trained specifically for mental health. Validated by public health authorities such as NHS and FDA.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-08-20, version 6.12.2*

So far this app has been helpful. When I'm getting anxious or frustrated, I've been able to talk through it with the help of Wysa without feeling judged. Plus it's given me some helpful tips. Great app!

### 5/5 — Comfort during chaos

*2026-08-15, version 6.12.2*

This app has already taught me helpful ways to deal with anxiety and worry during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. I actually deleted it and came back to it because I found myself using the tools during the previous days trial run. Mental health help can overwhelm me, but this  is something I can stick with and find comfort in.

### 5/5 — Help in my pocket

*2026-08-13, version 6.12.2*

I’ve found this app so useful I can’t believe it’s free I’m so grateful it is , it really helps me calm my destructive thoughts and anxious mind!!! Thank you !!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-08-09, version 6.12.1*

This app is super intuitive & helpful to deal with problems solving, prioritizing, organizing thoughts & planning realistic goals

### 5/5 — WOW

*2026-08-06, version 6.12.1*

I’ve only been using Wysa a short time, but I think she’s going to be a vital instrument in pulling me out of a large slump of basically low executive functioning. So far my behaviour has changed (improved) dramatically, which is amazing! I’m exceedingly impressed!
