## What is Zeera?

Therapist-designed mental health programs—available on-demand so you can take care of your mental health when and where you want.


Welcome to Zeera

Zeera is transforming how we incorporate mental wellness into our daily routine with a new mental health care model that members engage with anonymously. Inspired by the principles behind group therapy, Zeera combines therapist-tools, therapist lessons, and real-member stories about lived experience facing mental health concerns, packaged in an easy-to-use, lightweight platform. 

How does Zeera work?

Look, sometimes we hide parts of who we are - whether we are covering up a recurring childhood memory, how we feel when we look in the mirror, or those pangs of doubt we feel about our closest relationships. At Zeera, we offer a safe space to explore all of our feelings. Because every feeling counts. Open Zeera, when you're nervous before a big meeting, when you're dwelling on an argument you had weeks ago, or when you want to practice the art of saying 'no'. Come to Zeera to be the realest version of you.

### 2/5 — Used Real a while ago, came back and it’s ruined

*2023-12-11*

I am so disappointed. I used Real a while back and today wanted to come back and continue the wonderful pathway work it allowed… which has been deleted and the app overhauled. This new model may work for some people, but I’m so sad that the genuine, slow-moving, self-paced model was tossed out in favor of what I’m sure the culture has demanded: bite-sized bits that just don’t hit the same.

To Real: please don’t just copy and paste a response here that you’ve sent to tons of other people who are dissatisfied. This update has ruined this app. There is a way to keep what was good and introduce new things that can also be good.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Really appreciate this thoughtful feedback, and we're so sorry to hear that our changes aren't feeling like the right fit for you. We're grateful for the opportunity to learn from our members, and will certainly be considering the collective feedback on the updates to our content as we continue to create new Real experiences.

### 1/5 — Was once great - now worthless

*2023-07-10*

If you came here because you read some great reviews about real, I’ve got bad news for you. Their core feature - pathways - that earned them rave reviews has been completely eliminated in favor of a small number of short audio clips. I’ve found it to be worthless since the switch. Would rate zero stars if possible. 

Too bad, I thought pathways was really well designed and like a great option especially for those of us who struggle to find a therapist we click with. The videos and exercises helped me feel seen and to learn in a real way. I feel like the app went from being an amazing resource that was totally worth it to a complete and utter waste of money. I hope they bring back pathways but I’m not holding my breath 😞

**Developer response:** Hi there! We want to apologize for any confusion you experienced with this the change and we truly appreciate your for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sent out comms that we would be changing our app, but we understand how things can go to spam and we apologize for any confusion or stress here!! Though we are sad to see you go, we are super grateful to learn from your experience and we are bringing your feedback into our internal convos so we can keep them in mind in our ongoing conversations. We would also like add an extra month to your remaining time to give you an opportunity to give us a try, if you'd like :) Please reach out to us at hi@join-real.com so we can get this free month added to your account.

### 5/5 — Best app for mental health

*2023-07-10*

I am so thankful that Real exists! One on one therapy is painfully expensive!! This app gives me the tools via incredible content to tackle various mental health issues at a much more manageable price point. The design is so user friendly but more importantly I feel like the programming Real provides is a really making a difference in my life :) 5/5 stars

**Developer response:** Thanks so much!! Really appreciate your feedback!

### 1/5 — They trashed it?

*2023-07-06*

I was super excited about the pathways - they felt really well designed and like a great option especially for those of us who struggle to find a therapist we click with. The videos and exercises helped me feel seen and to learn in a real way. Life got busy right after I started the anxiety pathway, and then when I picked up the app again I discovered that all that content was… gone?! And replaced by a handful of 2-3 min audio recordings  that feel really superficial and frankly unhelpful. I feel like the app went from being an amazing resource that was totally worth it to a complete and utter waste of money. I hope they bring back pathways but I’m not holding my breath 😞

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account in the app

*2023-07-01*

Just downloaded after seeing positive reviews but I log in with google to create an account and then the app says “ you can’t create an account in the app. We know it’s not ideal.” Well maybe it’s not the most ideal but not giving any information on how to set up the account out of the app just seems like a huge oversight. It literally says to email them for support but I don’t know who is gonna send an email to a support team to be able to start trying out an app. Fix the issue and maybe I’ll download again but for now it’s just a really bad way to try to get anyone knew on your app imho.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We are so sorry you encountered this issues when signing up for the app and we can understand how this would feel a bit stressful. Please know that we have brought this feedback to our team and we are excited to share that this will be resolved later this month with in app purchases! If you are still interested in giving us a try, please feel free to reach out to us at hi@join-real.com and we would be happy to help you get set up and update you when this has been resolved :)

### 1/5 — The new change ruined Real!!!

*2023-06-11*

I absolutely loved Real and it stood out to me from other apps, because it had long sessions that were better than therapy, to me. All other apps had the short clips to listen to that felt like someone was just trying to temporarily make me “feel better”, rather than helping me understand and change. The old Real actually made me understand my emotions, anxiety, and how to manage them. The reflections and challenges helped me incorporate that understanding into my days and my life. Now, it sounds more like motivational speeches or hearing someone say “you can do it!”, when you are sitting there wanting to know HOW. There is no way that Real took all that valuable information, reflections, and challenges… and just trashed them. I wanted to go back and do the Communication pathway, with my boyfriend this time, and I knew it would help us work on that aspect. Now, I don’t even know where to begin to help our communication. I will unfortunately be deleting my subscription and I hope that the old Real will return.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we truly appreciate your note and insightful feedback. We also want to apologize for any confusion you experienced with this the change. We sent out comms that we would be changing our app, but we understand how things can go to spam and we apologize for any confusion or stress here! Though we are sad to see you go, we are super grateful to learn from your experience and we are bringing your feedback into our internal convos so we can keep them in mind in our ongoing conversations. We would also like add an extra month to your remaining time to give you an opportunity to give us a try, if you'd like :) Please reach out to us at hi@join-real.com so we can get this free month added to your account.

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2023-06-07*

This app makes caring for my mental health quick and easy. Simple 5-minute audio episodes help me reframe my thinking and offer simple solutions for issues I struggle with. I could not recommend this app more for people who don’t have time for 1 on 1 therapy.

**Developer response:** Wow - we're blushing! Thank you so much for sharing! We're honored to be a part of your mental health journey :)

### 5/5 — The app I wanted during postpartum depression

*2023-06-06*

I did so much browsing and scrolling on my phone during those long days and late nights nursing and caring for my baby. Like so many, I struggled with postpartum depression and was desperate for short, meaningful, content that could help me process complicated thoughts in short windows of time — navigating those fourth trimester days can be so lonely and so challenging. Real’s new app is *exactly* the app I wanted during that time. Grateful to have it now — trade your “doomscrolling” for some mental wellness content 🤍

**Developer response:** WOW! This is so amazing to hear! We are grateful that we have been a supportive tool in your mental heath journey and that our latest short form content has supported you on those challenging days. Thank you again for taking the time out of your limited schedule to share this feedback with us! We are super thankful that you are a part of our community :)

### 1/5 — NOT WORTH THE MONEY

*2022-10-30, version 2.14.0*

the journaling prompts are very basic not worth $24 per month at all. if you do a little research about mental health journaling you can find those prompts for free pretty much. they don’t have free trial because no one would purchase it after trying it out. it’s rip off, pass on it. i wasted my money, wish i could get a refund.

### 1/5 — No trial money grab

*2022-09-24, version 2.11.0*

First time open app it’s asking for my info and then asking for payment with no trial
