Ratings and reviews

It's very, broken up into digestible pieces. Which, if you're like me at all is amazing, because nothing can be more bothersome than a lengthy book encrypted in technical jargon. This app for the most part, uses a very conversational style of writing that is infinitely more engaging than the usual style that is as if someone is just prattling on. It gives you suggestions for how to challenge unhelpful thoughts, breaks down common unpleasant feelings and has fun little mindfulness exercises.

Amazing. Has genuinely helped me through so much. No subscriptions, no transactions, no AI therapist bs; just free, straightforward, user-friendly emotional support on demand. I love how customizable it is too, like being able to write in your own affirmations and quotes along with the ones already there. I genuinely would recommend this app to anyone who suffers from anxiety, depression, and/or is neurodivergent like I am. Peace and love from Canada!

One of the few apps on here that actually helps you and does it for free. I recently started reinstalling some of my mental health help apps from a few years ago, and realized this is the only one that hadn't locked all of the features I used to use behind a paywall. And I love all the different categories, there's both short-term and long-term help for different situations, general information, forums, etc. A must-have for 2020!
