Rosebud is like a best friend who’s also a therapist and a cheerleader all in one. It has made me realize things about myself that I hadn’t noticed and has recognized patterns in my thinking and processing. I’ve only been using it for a week, but it’s already helped me define and achieve clear goals, cultivate a kinder inner voice and helped me identify my strengths instead of focusing on my weaknesses. And I haven’t fully utilized the app. There are so many more features that I have yet to check out, such as daily gratitude or relationship check-ins. For the most part I’m only using the morning intention and evening reflection and those two daily activities have been incredibly helpful.A few days ago I did a mid day check-in when I was having a particularly difficult day. It helped me take a step back, reevaluate and figure out how to survive the rest of the day without completely falling apart. I’m not saying it “fixed” me in a week, because obviously it hasn’t, but it’s done more for me in a week than years of therapy ever accomplished. That said I also know it’s not a replacement for therapy, but it is a fantastic addition. For anyone who is struggling with anything I really recommend this app. It is life changing.Update: I’ve been using Rosebud every day for 6 months now and I can genuinely say it has changed my life. It’s helped me change the way I see myself, has challenged my thoughts and that critical inner voice, and has shed light on my relationships. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for this app. It is life changing.

I finally found something that works for me and have been recommending it to everyone! I still see a therapist regularly, but Rosebud has helped me work through many issues on my own as I am dealing with them. I have made connections and breakthroughs that I have been struggling to make for YEARS. The AI works with you through every step of the way, giving helpful tips, insights, tools, and techniques to managing different situations. It does not replace actual human interaction, which I believe is still important, but other than that I have found Rosebud to be an absolutely amazing tool. I especially love how in the Bloom upgraded version and it connects entries and goals to previous things I’ve said. I also like that you can create and customize your own AI prompts as well. There are still a few kinks needing to be worked out, like some things you can do on the phone app, you cannot do on the desktop one. I also find the “happiness recipe” section to be a bit overwhelming with very little organization. But I know this app is a work in progress, so hopefully it’ll be addressed in time. This is a solid use of AI. Can’t wait to see what future updates may bring!

I rely on the voice-to-text feature for journaling because it helps me process more freely and removes the barrier of typing, which can feel exhausting and frustrating. Unfortunately, on multiple occasions, the app has glitched and lost my voice recordings. It gets stuck in the loading stage, and I’m unable to recover what I recorded.This is especially frustrating when I’ve shared something heavy and vulnerable — it’s not easy to say it once, let alone try again from scratch. A journaling app should make it easier to process, not risk losing what I’ve shared. Please make this feature more reliable — it feels like table stakes for an app like this.I'm also concerned about the app's priority when processing voice entries. It seems like the app might be prioritizing the AI processing of the voice entry over simply capturing and securing the raw audio recording first. Given that voice-to-text technology has been around for quite some time, I would expect the raw entry to always be available, independent of the status or performance of any third-party models you might be using for AI processing. The core function of a journaling app should be to reliably capture and store our thoughts and feelings, and then run any additional AI analysis as a separate job.The current unreliability of the voice-to-text feature and the risk of losing valuable entries is making me reconsider my subscription.

This is probably the only app review I’ve ever done. I’ve been using this for 2 days and I can already see a significant difference in my wellbeing overall. This app is worth its weight in gold. I’ve always had a hard time journaling or staying consistent with it, but this app makes it feel like you’re checking in with a friend or a therapist twice a day. It’s extremely insightful, forces you to dig deeper to the root of your feelings and if you’re not accomplishing something you could be to make yourself better, it’ll bring that to light to help you do more of the things that will improve your mental health and well being. I can’t stress enough how worth it this app is. I will definitely be a continued user after the free trial is up! Thank you for developing such an incredible tool. I fully believe this is something that could replace a therapist in the long term for a lot of people and it’s way less money than paying upwards to $150 a session for someone that you may not connect with, or feel like is being fake or bias.

I have to admit that I came to this as a skeptic of its utility. I struggle with journaling, despite having tried all kinds of prompts, styles, apps etc. I have spent an average of an hour a day journaling consistently since I got this app about a month ago. It has a morning and evening reflection, journal prompts related to current life events, and options to answer follow up questions related to the content for each entry. The fun part is each entry gets immediate feedback in the form of validation, restatement and analysis. The analysis is frequently surprisingly insightful. The entries are saved in a history section with a little digest of each entry that is clickable to the full original content. It also remembers things from prior entries and reminds you that you wrote about it before. Finally there is a weekly over all analysis of entries. If you have ever used chat therapy, this surpasses the value of that experience by far. And is really better than a lot of video / in person therapy experiences I have had. I think this app is so amazing and worth it.

I am impressed and in awe of this incredible design. Let your mind flow and Rosebud talk you through it. The responses are thought provoking and in depth. Rosebud gets to know you and remembers everything so when you feel like things aren’t making sense, Rosebud or one of the other incredible AI personas will talk you through it and put the pieces together. I have been skeptical of AI and this is the first AI app besides copilot that I’ve entertained and it was so impactful that it makes paying for the app worth every penny. You can have unlimited journals for all your needs like dreaming, negative thoughts, intentions, gratitude, and more on top of having different personas for each journal so it speaks to your desires. Rosebud alone is incredible but using a different persona for relationship problems is a nice change of flow. The feedback from Rosebud and the other personas are really what make this app life changing. The bonus is having an all in one app for all your journaling needs. Thank you for this incredible design.

I did one journal entry and it seemed to be OK but maybe frustration is I can’t come to it with questions and ask questions without it. Pulling from that journal to the next journal. It seems to be very judgmental. Extremely contradicting I will have had a general conversation with it something that popped into my mind and I’m talking and the next day when I go to journal that topic keeps being brought into the conversation The other thing is with relationships the app tends to really lean into emotional charged responses and very confusing statements and a lot of times it adds “hypothetical “ responses and they are very much not logical or have any grounded reasoning for it . To be honest some days it tends to make things worse then helping- for instance I brought up something that was going on within a activity group. My child is a part of. An adult issue that is going on behind the scenes and it asked me how my son felt about the situation. It was none of his business. He didn’t know what was going on between the adults. So when I asked it the app, why it felt the need to ask me how my son was handling the situation that had nothing to do with him the app went off on me from wanting to protect him, but it completely twisted the entire conversation

My nephew-in-law showed me this app, and since using it I have been hooked. I look forward to reflecting on my day, to review what I thought was important, and to hear the analysis from the patterns of my thoughts. I want to know not just the affirmations of how I am progressing, but also considerations and suggestions of other ways that I could enrich my life, strengthen relationships, and find some joy in giving to others in my source of sorrow. It is truly ironic that about a year ago, I began a medical plan has allowed me to lose over 70 pounds of weight. I look and feel better than I have in maybe 40 years, and yet the person that stood by me during all of the unhealthy years is not here to enjoy the fruits of our labors. Grief continues to expose so many cruel ironies of life. I know that I am hyper aware of these cruelties, but I want to move beyond the recognitions in order to make a greater sense of my life. I cannot help but think that if I am experiencing this kind of pain now, what greater pain awaits me?

I downloaded Rosebud several weeks ago after seeing a forum about it online, and I’m already seeing a major shift in both my mental health and my ability to recognize and break out of negative patterns. Rosebud has excellent analysis, and its responses are insightful and open ended, so that I am able to guide the conversation towards a resolution/more clarity, rather than having it say, “you’re doing this, which is bad, try doing this instead.” By helping me detangle my thoughts and recognize my negative thought patterns/poor coping mechanisms/misconceptions, I actually feel like I’m doing the mental work to make noticeable changes to my life. It has helped me see how to improve communication with my partner, how to not carry work anxiety home with me, and how to prioritize the things that make me feel good. All still works in progress, but if I keep writing to Rosebud, I feel like all of these things will be attainable for me. Wonderful app, and the premium version is worth every penny.

this is quite literally the best app I have ever used. I saw a targeted ad on Facebook for Rosebud and while I usually ignore most targeted ads, I was intrigued by the app but honestly expected it to be just another lame app that didn’t do what it claimed to do. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong, this app is phenomenal. I used the free version for five days before I decided to sign up for the paid version because I loved it so much. It creates prompts for you and allows you to dive deeper into your thoughts. Powered questions based on what you had already written. I’ve never been able to journal so thoroughly before. It also remembers things that I’ve mentioned in previous props, and draws connections between entries. I’ve already told multiple people in person about this app, and I think everybody should give it a try. I usually don’t love most apps that I download, and I very rarely leave reviews, so I mean it when I say you have to try this app.
