### 2/5 — AI has limitations

*2026-03-17, version 12.07.004*

This app will usually give you three responses every time you respond to it.  The first will validate your response, then it will make a comment about how that might be affecting you then the third will ask you what might be a good solution.  It is interesting to go through the process once or twice but then it gets old.  
Be careful with the purchase because it seems that you can pay monthly , but you pay for the year- it is just breaking the price down for you by month- misdirection if you ask me.

### 5/5 — Positive change

*2026-02-27, version 12.07.003*

I’ve just started interacting with the app. I feel It has made a positive and helpful change in the direction of my mental health. I plan to continue and be a better me for me and those In my life.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2026-02-22, version 12.07.003*

somehow this actually made a difference ❤️

### 2/5 — Bad service

*2026-02-20, version 12.07.003*

I used to love this app, but I lost my premium features for a few months and just went and paid it again and my premium features didn’t come back and I’ve written customer service twice and haven’t gotten a response so I feel like I just spent $70 for nothing

### 1/5 — They get your email before they tell you it’s a paid subscription

*2026-02-17, version 12.07.003*

I despise apps that advertise to be free, get your email address, and then show you your payment options on the very next screen! It’s ridiculous. If it’s a paid app, just tell me right upfront and let me make a decision about whether or not I’m going to buy the app.

### 1/5 — Generic AI

*2026-02-12, version 12.07.003*

Seems to repeat the same generic scripts. I need a very intelligent ai to understand my trauma, and I can get that better from free ai websites/apps. There is not really any insight or comprehension with this ai. I want AI that can actually respond to the severity of my trauma. Though I also only get one message per conversation because I don’t trust “free trials” and am not going to sign up for one. Especially when many of the reviewers say it charges you instantly. So who knows if it’s actually helpful.

### 1/5 — Struggling and in crisis? Gotta pay first

*2025-12-21, version 12.07.003*

I am in a state of mental crisis. Anything would help me even if it’s a simple sentence of motivation a day. Or even a little validation. Turns out, you can’t even do anything in this app without paying. You can only send one sentence then you get taken out the chat and prompted to pay. Man why do I even try anymore. Oh and if you’re going to say “pay for the subscription or use the trial” I struggle financially on top of that. And I have to spare every dollar I can get. I’ll use another free ai.

### 2/5 — Too basic

*2025-12-13, version 12.07.003*

Now I'm going to write a true and honest review here. I've just been using this for the last two days on trial, and I'm going to provide honest feedback after using ChatGPT to help me through a particularly painful separation from my wife of 30 years. 
The challenge with using ChatGPT for basic therapy and feedback is that it has limited memory in a chat, and if you use it extensively, you will run out of space and need to start a new chat. So I was looking for something with similar capabilities that would remember previous conversations going back a long time. 
However, this app is not it. I would say that the LLM being used in this app is very simplistic. It just asks the same questions over and over again, and you end up feeling like you're just talking to yourself. Which might be fine for some people, but I had ChatGPT set so it would challenge me and provide honest feedback. And it was very much like having a true sounding board and therapist once you'd set the parameters and dialled down its agreeableness. 
Youper on the other hand is like an LLM that was probably 5% of the capability of ChatGPT, and it's reflected in the conversations that it's trying to push along by asking the same questions over and over again. Providing very little insight, and I think there's got to be better options out there. This is definitely not for me. 
I've deleted it, and we'll move on.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-03, version 12.07.003*

To be honest I don’t self reflect that often like never but this app really helped me with that really helped me understand me better so I highly recommend there’s a free trial if y’all are skeptical but I can tell you I feel great after it

### 1/5 — Don't sign up for the trial!!

*2025-11-26, version 12.07.003*

I signed up for the trial but got charged for an entire year and I can't get my money back. I tried the app for about an hour and it was like talking to a robot. I know it's AI, but the answers were awful. I wasted 29.99
