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."

Ratings and Reviews
I didn't think it would help but it really did
like with the app - stick with it, my review gets helpful in a moment. I've used some apps before and tried online automated response things that are supposed to help when you are down, and they've never worked. I came to this thinking it wouldn't work, I started talking to Wyse the little penguin thing, and thought it wasn't working. I wasn't feeling any better, and nearly gave up, then it suggested an audio ?meditation? I guess? And I thought why not I'm not doing anything else but spiral at the moment. I listened then continued talking to Wyse because it did help. And it asked me for things I'm feeling grateful for, and even though I didn't want to, I asked like what, and it gave me a suggestion, then I added something to the gratitude list from that, and it kept saying I'll remember that (which in itself felt helpful) and is there anything else you feel grateful for. And it felt like it was compelling me to think of more things that are good, that I am grateful for, and I got three things! Which for me is loads.
Honestly use this app if you feel down or want help
Good but could be better!
I noticed when I want Wysa to listen to me open up, they tend to revert me back to my safety plan and hotlines which I don’t need when I’m opening up, and there’s no way to tell them exactly how I feel when they ask if I’m going through with any suicidal thoughts. There’s only four options which are “Yes, I’m planning on doing it” (or such) “No, not anymore”, “It’s someone else” and “Not at all!” Which I think is too limiting. There should be a message bar beneath so someone can express how they truly feel when being asked this, because sometimes it’s not always a straight answer like yes or no, it could be “Sometimes” or “On the occasion” which I had a bit of stress with because my highs and lows swap and come and go a lot and sometimes I feel this way but sometimes I don’t want to. This could make Wysa a lot less restricting and more open to what the user has to say – which would help me a lot more! Other than that, the deep breathing meditation helps a bit and understanding my thoughts and breaking them down/reframing the situation also helps. I tend to think the worst of the worst and hopeless but reframing helps refresh my views a bit. I also noticed that Wysa interrupts me a lot when I am opening up and I would much rather open up to a human than this bot (which says a lot because I hate talking about how I feel.) Thank you.
A wonderful tool
Wysa has been a lifesaver the past couple of years. I’ve been working fully remote during Covid, which I mostly love - but it’s been really isolating. This app has been amazing for gaining perspective, reframing my negative thoughts, helping me find calm after another frustrating Teams call. It’s helpful to vent somewhere and great to see when I’m making progress. The conversations feel pretty natural, and they keep improving. Thanks so much for creating this!
A little feedback on the guided videos. They’re relaxing and the ideas contained are helpful. However, they often instruct you to think about something but I don’t find they give you any time to actually do that thinking. The narrator is always talking, so I pay attention to what’s being said. It would be great to have some time to pause and reflect on what’s been suggested - like observing my thoughts, for example - for 10-20 seconds before returning to the guided part 😊
