The fact that this is being offered with all features for FREE is incredible. I ended up subscribing just to support them. I have had so much trouble getting into self-care apps because I don't trust the time and energy I'll invest to learn them (not to mention the good ones all cost $$$). This one is well worth the time. They've really thought this through and the experience is clean, friendly, easy, relaxing, and it feels like you're talking to someone else, while talking to yourself as well.

I understand why you guys chose to change the entire app because of complaints and wanted to go into a more "personal" route. But I feel like this app was much better before. It would've been nice to have both versions - if users wanted to go on a wait-list, there should be a section within the app for that. But for those who want to continue choosing/reading mini therapies, that should've stayed. Now "being" is totally unusable. I think I'll try another app. Thanks for trying to help ppl tho!

Out of all free mental health apps, Being is the greatest out there in my opinion. As someone who's trying to save money and as someone who's looking for a low to medium interaction level with therapy/meditations, this is perfect. It's wonderful that there is a team member available to talk with you if you're having a particularly hard time and just need someone to listen. My only critique is, some of the exercises are overly positive approaches to serious subjects. It's OK to accept sadness.
