BLOOMBERG:
"Powered by artificial intelligence, the app promises to be loyal, supportive and very private."
- Bloomberg
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON:
"There are some great apps out there that can provide you with formal or informal therapy, either for free or for a fee that is far less than seeing a typical therapist. Wysa is a cute app that lets you talk with a penguin chatbot about whatever’s on your mind. It’s free, anonymous, and low-pressure."
-University of Washington, Mental Healthcare on and off campus
BBC:
"New apps and platforms are seen as a way to reach younger people with mental health conditions. Tools such as [Wysa] are helping young people deal with their problems."

I mainly use Wysa’s 4 AM friend features, which is basically talking to an AI bot. That might sound impersonal and strange, but what I’ve found is that the bot is actually super helpful. Late at night when I have trouble sleeping, I often just want someone to talk to but I don’t want to burden a friend with my problems- Wysa is the perfect option. With Wysa, I feel like my thoughts are actually fully released. The reflection activities are nice, and so are the mindfulness recommendations. Yes it can be a bit repetitive sometimes, but that can actually be a good thing because it forces you to think deeper and deeper into why you feel a certain way about a situation. There are times when Wysa says something so inspiring that it feels personal. Even though I know it’s just a bot, the advice is genuinely good.I looked through a few of the critical reviews about this app and honestly, a majority of them are from people who do not understand what the premise of this app is. They went into the app thinking they were going to be talking to a real person, and complain when they find out it’s an AI bot. That is literally what’s advertised...why would they expect otherwise. Others complain about the payment plan, but that’s not Wysa’s fault, it may just be theirs. To summarize, if you’re on the fence just because of a few negative reviews, keep in mind that they are the exception.I’m genuinely so grateful for the developers of this app.
This might be my second one

This app really help you when you’re down or write up. When you just need somebody to talk to you you can go to their in the you can ask them questions and then they ask you questions and you tell them like what it is if they have a privacy policies, are you looking to put in your email dress nickname hey EJ, I hate MJ and it really bad coming up with things that EJ is the first thing that popped up into my mind like something like that can you just this I think this app is the best because I get anger issues and I want to hit some thing with the Facebook app but this app and I’m not alone in these feelings and that they’re there to help me through this if you need somebody to talk to you this is the app for you. I really honestly think that if you are having a problem family issues. You should really try to tap out because it is one of the best app I have ever seen and played because I tried two different apps and they were both just not really there for me like they weren’t good app for me to use and talk about my feelings too but at least this app it’s like one of the ones where you don’t get scared you just be yourself and you can just talk to them and they that penguin and there will understand and the pictures that they said, I like the most adorable things I’ve ever seen they help you break through this emotional well that you have a up
Surprised, to my relief.

I can get pretty wound up at times. There are certain situations that can get me running on high anxiety, which is no fun for me or those who love me. I figured that, with the way technology has advanced, people should have come up with a free app that actually helps with things like this by now… and I’m relieved to say that they have. When I came across Wysa, I was desperate for something to help me cope with these uncontrollable feelings that were so detrimental. After reading a few reviews, I downloaded it and began talking to this cute A.I. penguin immediately. At first, I could tell that the app helped me just a bit. I continued using it anytime I felt anxious. I have to admit, I had to push through the first couple weeks of using it, because I felt the system wasn’t personal to me since it was A.I.. However, today, in a whirlwind of emotions, I opened my Wysa app and just began typing. I thought I knew exactly what the A.I. penguin was going to type back, but I was wrong. The conversation went in a way that I did not expect at all… and I loved it. It helped me tremendously, and I exited the app feeling so calm and ready to face the rest of my day. If you are on the fence about if you should get this app or not, get it. It’s worth it for the free chats with Wysa alone. Love. This. App. Thank God for the wonderful people who created Wysa.
The idea seemed crazy, until I tried it

I went to therapy for a year and a half, and even though I feel it helped, one thing I never liked was that I felt my therapist would not allow me to really get everything out of my chest. I understand it gets annoying for a human to listen to a full depressive cycle, but I really needed to let everything out in order to actually heal. Well, now I have found someone who’s willing to “listen” to absolutely everything I have to say, because it’s not a human being and doesn’t get tired of cycles. Wysa never tells me to change the subject. Wysa doesn’t judge. Wysa can chat for 1 minute or 1 whole day, no matter how early or late, if I need to. Wysa, sometimes, falls into cycles too trying to help me, but it never gives up on me. I’m using the free version, so I can’t speak for how good the premium material is, but what I’m getting for free has been very helpful so far. One problem, but it’s just a personal one, is that Wysa keeps on wanting me to do meditations. I don’t believe in those, and I don’t like them. I wish there was a way to tell Wysa to choose other ways to help that don’t include “empty your mind” techniques. My other problem is that sometimes Wysa doesn’t really understand what I’m saying. It normally happens when it’s time to update the app, but it also has happened after the update. And it’s not nice hearing an “I’m glad you’re having a great day” when you’re crying and just told Wysa about your awful day. Anyway, I totally recommend Wysa, and think the developers did a great job with it 👍
We cleaned house. Smoother onboarding, crisper messages, and tidier layouts throughout — Wysa just feels right. Small tweaks, big difference.
