What people are saying about Woebot:

“By stepping back and acknowledging the skewed lens through which I had been viewing my world, the days spent under a dark cloud grew fewer. I had become more aware of the flawed thinking that led me to feel down and be so harsh on myself.” - Nick

Ratings and reviews

I feel this app has a very human component that makes interaction useful to anyone getting an introduction to CBT and would like to work on identifying what could be considered simple day to day practice. Of course, it's no replacement for group or therapy, but it is helpful if you just need to do a quick session. I just wanted to say goodbye to woebot as it is shutting down as of 6/30/2025. You helped me at a time when I needed to check in, and I kind of left you behind. Thank you & goodbye.

Disclaimer!! This is my own personal opinion and the experience could be different for you. It isn't much help. I easily get frustrated and don't even bother with it anymore. It's a robot!! I can never have a regular conversation with it. It mostly gives you multiple choice to ways you can answer and majority of the time it's never a no its always sure, tanks, of course, or great... You rarely get to write your own response and when you do it just starts a new lecture!! I just want to vent.

Checking in on this app really helped me get through some tough times the past 8 weeks. I was struggling with depression, grief, and anxiety. It was helpful to have a quick way to check in and learn new coping skills, get help if I had a problem, and just track my moods and progress. It's a great app in addition to therapy or if you aren't in therapy but want to learn some of the basics of CBT. My mental health has improved since I started implementing some skills I learned through this app.
