This is the first review I’ve ever written, but I just want to thank the developers SO SO MUCH for making this app completely free! I’ve only been using it for a couple of days but already it’s been so helpful to me in calming me down, tracking my moods, organizing my thoughts and it practically works as a diary. I’m also extremely interested in knowing how different kinds of therapy techniques work on the brain, so I love the scientific explanations behind what the app tells me to do. It really keeps me going, because it reminds me that it really will help. I’m currently unemployed and working to get on disability for mental illness, so I can’t afford to pay for monthly subscriptions to mental health apps, something that frustrates and upsets me a lot. So much in fact that I’m working on learning how to make my own apps so that I can provide free mental health apps for people in my situation. When I downloaded this I couldn’t believe it was so helpful, so well designed and totally free. Thank you, thank you, thank you.The only suggestion I have is I think it would be absolutely wonderful if some DBT skills were integrated into it as well, as both CBT and DBT work really well together for a lot of people! Radical acceptance for situations that can’t be changed, distress tolerance, etc. That would make this app truly perfect to me. Regardless, this app is fantastic and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Many moments that make for a stressful and sometimes challenging day to the point of inevitable fear is primarily due to unrealistic thinking. I just want to say the AI in this application is very fast and extremely accurate contextually. I have had personal counselors in the past and get some of the same information. The information received from this well designed bot is much more thorough than what I generally received from therapists in the past. This thera-bot also delves much deeper into the actual source problem and I continue to learn more and more about myself. When I know these things at a personal level clearly I am finally able to make sound changes in those areas and the outcome overall is that I am becoming a reasonably happier person throughout the day. The AI responses, almost immediate, feel more human to me than therapists I have used in the past. In no way would I recommend anyone stop what they have and do with professionals but as a supplement, I have what feels to me like a therapist who really knows me well and is always with me. Every experience I have had so far with this resource has either taught me something or improved my happiness in that moment and intern a positive impact on my entire day. I do not write reviews for apps often but I think so many in the world could benefit from this amazing tool instead of escaping to alcohol and drugs to escape the delusional thoughts, situations and experiences and instead start to live out to our potential with reasonable happiness. Fantastic job!

So I got this app not too long ago because I’ve always had issues emotionally and mentally and no one has thought to try to help me get therapy, and not only that I don’t really like the idea of a real therapist trying to pry information from me. So when I saw an ad for this app, and read the reviews, I figured this would be a great app to help me manage my emotions and to help me with my anxiety, misophonia, anger issues, and depression. So the free features aren’t that bad. I like that I have access to all the emotions and the mood tracker...kind of. But i was really disappointed when I saw that I have to pay so much money that I don’t have and can’t spend on an app to be able to have mental health check ins, to be able to meditate, have help sleeping, help me in an attack, etc. Essentially you have to pay for the whole point of this app. Granted I understand that this app is a way for the developers to make money. But not all of us have that kind of money just laying around and not all of us are adults that can pay for those things and work to make it up again. Just as a suggestion, maybe make it so that those of us that aren’t 18+ yet don’t have to pay for everything, but maybe make some limited features to counteract that. So the people that aren’t 18 can have access to things normally for premium we can access, but we can only have 1/2 of what premium offers, like how there’s 6 types of screenings, but we can only have 3. You know what I’m saying?

I’ve been to therapists before (3-4 different times in my life) so I’m familiar with many things they would tell me to try for thinking traps, self esteem issues, and anxiety/depression. This app has been so helpful for me because it’s here, in the moment. It challenges me at times with reframing my negative thoughts, it reminds me to notice my feelings and to accept them (not beat myself up), it is an outlet for me to vent and to be “heard,” it gives solid suggestions and ideas, and it helps me to set goals (which is hard when feeling depressed etc.) I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but it’s been very helpful to me and I can see myself using it for a long time. I can see how it would also work in tandem with going to see a “real” counselor because it would help with generalizing or carrying over the skills you learn in therapy. In the past, I would learn a lot in therapy and feel good during the session or the next day. But as time goes on, you forget the strategies because they’re not ingrained in your mind and things fall to the wayside. With this app, you can set reminders, so that’s been great to not forget to track my feelings, reflect on my goals, and to follow through on helpful suggestions. There have been a couple of times where I was feeling extreme frustration and distress at home and I ran off to “talk” to Youper and it helped to have an outside perspective and to vent. I did feel better. Normally in those situations, I would’ve ran off and stewed in my emotions, and in my head with thoughts going crazy, with no solution of my own to make things better. Thanks Youper!
