Rosebud's AI feels very refined compared to other apps I've tried out. The "go deeper" function is great when trying to find the words to express yourself to your support group or to just vent. I like the recommended journaling parts as it gives you a good place to start if you're not really a journaling type. I also like the personalized goals. The premium is expensive, but I find it worth the price!

Rosebud is not a replacement for a human therapist, but it's an amazing supplement to talk therapy. I love that I don't even need to spend a lot of time in the app, I can just log a few words of how I'm feeling and what's been going on. It notices trends and asks questions for deeper reflection on days I'm feeling more like exploring. The validation and encouragement are so helpful in stressful moments, and it helps me think through complex situations. Highly recommend!

Rosebud has been the most useful journaling app I've used so far. I've tried other apps, but this one just feels more helpful. I also like the explore and insight tabs. I'm excited to see my weekly insight on Saturday. I honestly might keep the subscription after my free trial ends, which is huge coming from me. I do wish it was a little cheaper because I'm poor, but I think the help it has provided me so far might make it worth the price.
