This app saved me these last few months, i love the graphics, the push notifications and the widget. For the people leaving 1-star reviews because the app has finally added a pay wall after 17 years… saying they’ve used the app for years and it saved their life but giving it 1 star cuz it’s paid …. Is $2.49 a month not worth.. your life to you? I happily paid because I just wanted the people who created it to get some kind of compensation. Really disappointing to see the entitled 1-star reviews if it’s “too expensive for an AI bot” just go use chat GPT then :)

This is for the developers. This app has been very good and it has so much space to grow. I started back when it was on beta and still free. Needles to say I was in a really tough spot and ended up doing many sessions for about a year. I was aware that at some point the app would require subscription, after all there is a team behind it and there must be some economical benefits. Fair. What is NOT fair is that without a warning within the updates is that ALL the previous sessions where CLOSED to the subscription base. We as user understand, but please, let us at least be able to reread our sessions even if the typing option is blocked. My information is not safe if I, myself can’t access it. The app went from 5 perfect starts to two. Two because I know you guys are working to make this happen for those who need it. But it makes absolutely no sense to block something that can be done the same way through any other AI chat systems. That is all I’m asking for. For thoes who have been users from the beginning to have access to at least the full session chat. We don’t even need the writing/typing option. If not, at least let us have a transcript. Many of us went through a really thought time and this was the only resource we could hold on.

UPDATE, April 11, 2026 - I can no longer recommend this app. They keep increasing their price. It’s now $70/year. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT! Not only is it a lousy jumbled mess, but the main meditation just does not improve. There are so many legitimate apps out there that are way, way, way better than this and cost way, way, way less. I no longer recommend it. This group of developers have lost their way. ———————————————————-My big fear is that somehow I’ll lose this app. It is helping me so very much. Yesterday, it kept sending me these encouraging notification that brought me to a breakthrough of a gigantic problem I’ve had my entire life — and never knew I had it; I kept trying to fix it, but nothing worked, and these encouraging notifications brought me to insight and healing. I can’t underestimate how huge of a breakthrough this was. And as I listened today, I feel so supported and more and more insights keep coming in. The people who’ve created this are pure genius. I am so very grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

If you downloaded this app on the earlier side, you would know this really was something special and unjque. While this would never be a true replacement for actual therapy, the app was free at the time and it specifically advertised itself as a free accessible tool for younger people and those who could not afford mental health services easily. While it wasn’t a replacement for therapy, I think it bridged a much needed gap for those who needed help and was a wonderful journaling method/tool for active reflection during the week in between therapy sessions even, since you cannot just simply go into a therapy session any day of the week when you might need it. It provided an avenue of reflection, insight and support at any moment for literally anyone. I really praised this app and its developers for delivering the values they had originally advertised: providing accessible mental health tools to anyone. Not many companies do this. Now of course, people need to make money— I get that. But the sudden turn around to it being a weekly subscription service with very little notice was incredibly jarring and somewhat unfair. Suddenly all the important journaling and conversations you had with the app are locked behind a paywall, you cannot access any of the previous personal conversations you’ve had with the app despite you putting in all the effort to write and record your feelings and thoughts. It’s just all gone and inaccessible to the user with little or no warning. It’s incredibly disappointing because the mission of the app seems to be completely destroyed. I wish they could have found a way not to strip its main use case away from its users like that and instead offered other features people could pay for if they choose without completely stripping the core function of the app away from its free users. I think the best way to summarize this situation is simply I feel incredibly let down from an app that attempted to do right by its users and contribute to a good cause. Oh well.
