Love the app, wish non-Plus was more rewarding. Suggestion: Please consider giving higher rewards for scheduled evening goals? I’m motivated to complete tasks earlier in the day. But once your energy is full, the rewards are minimal. My nighttime routines are the most important for me personally, and it would be helpful to have more motivating rewards. Eg. higher rainbow stone rewards for goals completed after you fill your energy, or for scheduled evening goals. Review: I love this app! As an adult with ADHD who struggles to prioritize taking care of myself, this is so helpful. It has the dopamine boost of a game/rewards, without the distractibility of an actual game. It’s very helpful to externally motivate me to take care of myself and basic life tasks, eg drinking water, listening to my body when it’s hungry, taking my meds, taking time for myself. Suggestion 2: I only wish the free version was more rewarding. Especially for event rewards, the non-Plus needs to have a few more guaranteed items and less random chests towards the end of the event days. I ended up just paying for Plus because I wanted the additional daily event rewards and options of clothes/decor to serve as motivation for me to stick with my goals. And I understand the developers need money to help them continue to run such an awesome app! But I do wish the non-Plus was slightly more rewarding for events / had more options.

A truly great app. So I’d like to start off with this app (quite literally) saved my life… i make deep connections with just about everything in my surroundings (alive and not) and this app came up in a very rough part of my life. So much is going on and I lost touch with literally everything and almost everyone in my day to day life. I downloaded it off a whim, didn’t really have much calling to do so, I just like birds, and I thought it was going to be another idle game. I opened it to find that it was so much better than that! I chose the gender of my finch.. and the first recommended name for it was “pickles” and I cried.. pickles is a nick name of mine from a very special person in my life, and it greatly reminded me of them, and made me feel better on the spot. I also have a way to get my feelings out in a healthy manner now rather than how I was before. Pickles and I have been growing every day, and slowly (but surly) have been getting better, I’ve already recommended this amazing app to about 6 of my friends, and my boyfriend, to all help us with our feelings, and to try to teach us how to better communicate our emotions (something I personally have never been good at) but since I’ve gotten attached to this app, and have been using it daily.. I’ve learned so many things, andhave already helped myself some… this is an absolute must have app for me now, and I love that. 10/10 will continue to recommend!

AMAZING APP!. I absolutely love this app! This is my second day of using it, and I fell in love with it! To be honest, Bailey (my finch) is so cute, she motivates me to do my goals! 😂 I love how this app makes things like cleaning your room fun and easy! I am currently using the free version of this app, and unlike many other apps that are available free but there is a plus version (like duolingo), this one does not press you to get it all the time! I really like that it’s also like a game, being able to age your finch and dress him/her/them up! If you’re reading this review because you’re not sure whether or not to get the app, then take my advice and download it!!! It’ll help you a lot! Also, if you get something at the beginning telling you to pay, don’t worry, it’s just offering you the plus version. Click the X in the corner to get started with the real deal, not just naming your finch and things like that. They also do fun events! I’m typing this during the Halloween event, and it’s adorable! You can have your friends get the app as well, and you can use friend codes to add them on the app. (You know the app is good when I’m a kid and take time to write all THAT about the app). Overall, this is AN AMAZING APP!!! I hope the developers see this, so they can be proud of what a good app they’ve created. ❤️

Magnum opus of gamifying tasks (buy this for your kids). Discovering this app has been an absolute game-changer for me! It’s not just an app; it’s a groundbreaking journey into self-improvement, blending psychology with the joy of gaming. Imagine nurturing a baby bird—your digital companion—as you navigate through tasks and goals, making every moment spent on this app a guilt-free pleasure. The genius lies in its design; the user interface takes me back to the classic games of my childhood, making goal-setting feel like an adventurous quest rather than a chore. Each achievement is rewarded not just with a sense of accomplishment but with a vibrant celebration, gems, and that sweet dopamine rush. But here’s where it truly shines: the app’s innovative use of word association analysis to uncover behavioral patterns. It’s proactive, constantly seeking feedback to tailor a more personalized experience, guiding you (and even your kids) towards recognizing and altering negative habits, and encouraging the pursuit of passions recognized through positive reflections. And through it all, you’re teaching your baby bird about this vast, complex world, preparing it for a future of independence. This app isn’t just a tool; it’s a companion on a journey towards a better understanding of oneself and the world around us. Join me and my baby bird in this delightful adventure of growth and discovery. (Guided by my heart, edited by GPT-4)

Finch helps me every day. This is now my favorite app!!! Before using Finch I was really in a bad place with my depression. It was a particularly bad time, and I realized that I needed a more robust self-love plan to help me afterwards. I happened to find Finch, and it has helped me immensely with my every day care. (It’s definitely not the ONLY thing I do for my mental health care but it’s an important one of many!) It is SO good for helping establish good habits for yourself!! I recommend it to literally all my friends now. Developers: You have done such an AMAZING job with this app!! Seriously, THANK YOU!!!! I can’t afford anything right now (unemployed) and I was lucky enough to get a free sub from a guardian — that was amazing. It’s such a good idea. (I also love the guardian wall!!! It made me cry.) I love that there are no ads on the app and that there is no way to buy the rainbow gems, PLEASE keep it that way!!! Those things are what really make it feel like the app was built with my health in mind. 💕 The only request I have is: My baby grew up so fast!! I wish there was a way to make him a baby again. Perhaps if once he’s all grown up, we had the ability to either reset to the beginning, or if we could just choose a look for him (a growth stage) to stay in?? I would love that so much, would make the app perfect imo. Thank you for all your hard work. I think you’ve improved many people’s lives, mine included. ❤️❤️❤️

This self-care app got everything right.. So- a while ago I downloaded an app called Daylio, it’s like a virtual journal to write about how you felt that day, to be honest that app didn’t really work for me. Then I came across this app, I immediately got intrigued because I love birds (I mean LOVE them) I downloaded the app to try it out and it just… got everything right. So for all you possible downloaders lemme explain what this app got so correct. First, your little companion. Idk about y’all but self-care is hard for me for one reason, I have really low self esteem so taking care of myself isn’t always on my to do list. But your little finch pal depends on your taking care of yourself, that way it isn’t ONLY for you. Second. The atmosphere. This app really seems like some sort of game, you get rainbow stones from completing goals, stretches, anxiety relief methods and more. Then you can use said stones to purchase clothing and items for your finch. Third, and lastly, personality. YOUR FINCH HAS HIS/HER OWN PERSONALITY! I don’t know about you but to me that is freaking adorable! My finch likes corn after eating some on my first day using the app, on his first adventure he heard “Baby shark” and now it’s one of his favorite songs! Last night I even caught him dreaming about Baby shark! ITS SO CUTE! Anyways, if you’re looking for a good self-care/goal setting app, you might as well give this one a try :D

I love the app but a couple things edit: recommendations for features. I love how we can set goals and how some journeys for goals are guided but I don’t like how things like alert breathing or stamina breathing are locked if I don’t have Finch Plus. I, like many other people, would benefit greatly from having these features, but because it’s locked for normal users, we don’t get it. I understand that you need to pay your bills n stuff and it’s really hard to do so sometimes, so I’m not mad, but it would be nice to have at least stamina breathing for normal users. Other than that, I find it nice. It would be nice if there were more examples for prompts, but they really help when I can write out what I need to. The breathing exercises help with anxiety and insomnia, which helps because I’ve suffered from both for the longest time. Thank you guys for the amazing app ❤️ please at least consider my requests if you could Edit: I love this app and it’s really helped me with everything as I’ve said before and I got a recommendation for this app. Maybe add a SH timer and education to help fight urges for it, and of course if someone gets triggered by it they could turn off the feature. I don’t know, but people could definitely use the help with that because they are unable to do proper research themselves, of course just a suggestion ❤️

Adorable, Helpful, and Not Annoying. I got finch with my sister and we haven't stopped using it for the past 3 months. Even if you don't always feel motivated to complete goals, it is nice to write in your reflections/rant about things. I like that you can view trends about certain people or even what brought you down/motivated you throughout the entire week. My finch is named DJ. He is so cute and I just love dressing him up. Besides the app itself being enjoyable, I think the team of people who work on Finch care a lot about it. You can tell they genuinely want to help people get through their days. This can be seen in the inclusiveness of the app and the lack of ads. There are no ads on Finch, and it makes the app less frustrating. The only thing you can purchase as an expansion to the app is Finch Plus, which gives you extra goals, reflections, and quizzes. Even then, the app never bombards you with in-app purchases. It jsut really makes it more comfortable for people to log in daily even if it is just for a few minutes. Also, like I said, Finch is very inclusive. You can change pronouns for your finch or even dress it up in pride flag themed clothing. Which by the way, the pride clothes are not just labeled as "bisexual shirt" or "asexual shirt" They are named by the colors so that it is more inclusive to everyone and have safe names for lgbtq+ people to buy. My #1 feature that I enjoy is seeing the mood trends i have with particular people in my tree.

The only self care app Ever. I've never written a review in my life but this app is truly worth it. I can see all of the thought that the designers put behind Finch to make it something you want to come back to daily. I've had trouble with other self care apps because i felt as if i was only using the app to help myself. This is the issue. The reason i have this app is because i don't give myself enough care since i don't care to. Having a little friend to open up the app to makes it so much more motivating. Learning what my little Scoobert likes and dislikes, shaping their personality, going on adventures.. it's all so exciting! I always make sure to check in so my finch can go on a adventure and i can talk to them about it! I love the idea of the bird being a baby because when you respond it's always wholesome and optimistic, which in turn makes me more optimistic! And if that isn't enough, the customization options are even better. The opportunities for new accessories, colors, clothes, locations and more make me want to save up all the rainbow stones i can! Everything about this app is perfect. The tree town is such a nice add on that i've used to connect with my family and friends who love the app as well! After having this app for a bit, now i even care about checking in with myself! (the whole point)

i recommend this app to literally everyone. the day i got this app, i forced ALL of my friends to download it so we could all be finch buddies. and now i can send all of my friends good vibes whenever i want. not only can i have a cute companion, but i also get amazing mental health support. i’ve been struggling for a really long time, and download just about every app out there for mental health support. and this app has lasted longer than any other one, and i fully intent on keeping it. my mental health is so bad, i’m currently going through the process of getting a service dog. and i can 100% say this app is truly holding me over till i get that dog. and i will definitely be keeping the app when i get my dog. thank you to the creator <3 since downloading, i’ve gotten 12 of my friends to also download, and i plan on getting more. they also have been recommending it to their friends, all of which have also downloaded. it’s becoming something my friends all talk about causally though out the day, to the point where we’re getting random people asking us who “phil” and “tofu” are, and we tell them, and they download the app too. this is awesome! 10/10 recommend it! i named mine phil after philza minecraft! okay that’s all, have an amazing day, and ty again for creating such an amazing and useful app. not to be dramatic or anything, but this app is truly life saving. ty <3<3<3

This app changed my life. This app has literally changed my life. I have wanted to put the work in to better myself for years but was never able to get the motivation for it (it’s often very hard to get motivated to do stuff because I have adhd) I saw an add for this app not sure if it’d even help me out, but gave it a try. 123 days later and I still check in every day. I drink water daily, go outside, focus on positive things in my day even if it’s just one thing. Helping my little friend (their name is Poki) grow and learn new things has been the best motivator for doing things that I often have trouble with. My mood has improved, I’m getting chores done around the house, I went to the doctor for the first time in years. There’s always something new and it rewards you for completing your goal and doesn’t penalize you if you don’t complete all of your daily goals. It’s exciting to come back each day and see what new things your pet will learn and getting to watch them try new things and travel. I log on every day not because I have to but because it’s something that I want to do. I am forever grateful for this app and all it has done for me. I look forward to how much farther it’ll take me. If you are debating getting this app and giving it a try I highly recommend it. Good luck on your self care journey from Poki and myself.

Very good, but maybe some functional changes will make it better. I’ve been using Finch for years at this point and it’s really helped keep me goal oriented and on top of all my daily tasks. It’s also been rewarding to see my progress in tasks and goals alongside my bird as more features are added to the app. My only complain is with the daily reward structure and, while it may encourage people to achieve goals, can come off as punishing to folks to some other folks. I know when there are days when I am too overwhelmed to log on, I feel like the daily tracking system reminds me of how I’m falling behind, which can come off as discouraging more than encouraging. I know this model is used to incentivize people to subscribe, but as someone who uses the app to manage feelings of executive dysfunction, anxiety and forgetfulness, this feature sometimes comes off as discouraging rather than motivating and makes me want to use the app less (especially when I fall short). Just something to consider to make the app more accessible to everyone’s mental health journey. Other than that I’ve found most of its features to help me manage symptoms of stress and get on top of the goals and tasks that feel really daunting everyday. I find myself better keeping track of all more tasks and hitting more short-term goals that develop healthier habits :). A good app.

Finch is the best!. Every day when I wake up I check on my finch! I got to take a shower and brush my teeth as well as wash my face and do skincare to make her go on an adventure. The adventure usually lasts 8 hrs but you can reduce the time by doing more of your goals and rating your goals and taking about ur day! It’s makes me actually do things I don’t normally want to do like clean my room, make my bed, get out of my bed, and have a productive day until I started using g finch! It helps with stress, if you just need to be cleaner or more productive, helps you stay on task and keep doing what you don’t normally want to do, and much more! After every adventure your finch tells you about what they saw and you get to tell them what it is that they saw!!! When they sleep you can tap on them and it shows what they are dreaming about! They dream about what they saw on the adventure. Also, not to mention the ADORABLE micro pets! I have an obsession with llamas so I immediately got all of my family members to accept my requests so I could get the llama of my dreams!!! There is so much to do! If you have stress or have trouble taking showers when your supposed to, keeping your room clean, brushing your teeth, skincare, or if you need to relax and find a new adorable and great app that actually works, use finch!! I love it! You defiantly won’t regret getting this app!!!

For Real, this is amazing. I don’t usually write reviews, but I can’t get over this app. My finch is named Chamomile and within 24 hours of downloading my best friend also got the game (via my request lol) and hers is named Kiku. We enjoyed the fact that you can add others to the tree without them having the app because it helps catalog people as people when writing reflections. It’s also helped with mental health and organization. There’s so much you can do even if you can’t afford plus which was something I was so worried about. I love the fact that there are recommendations on tasks because I do have a problem with ignoring self-care actions like positive affirmations or just taking a moment to breath and stretch. Plus, you can also add your own, self-typed tasks, so it’s not confining. It gives that extra little boost to be a functional person that you just need some days. It’s like having someone by your side saying “you can do it!” but instead it’s the cutest little bird in the world. And on top of that, the tree town interactions are great so that even though my bestie and I go to college in different states, I get to send her an extra bit of love and strength on those especially hard days. I love this app and I’m so lucky I found it! So much thanks to the devs, you guys are literally incredible 💖

Amazing. I love Finch. It is a little birb that helps me take care of myself and the more I do for myself, the more the birb grows and gains rainbow stones ($). You can’t spend real dollars to get rainbow stones (thank goodness), you have to earn them. There are adorable clothes and items you can buy for your birb and their birdhouse. There are seasonal events that are super fun and give you items. Your birb grows and learns and has their own personality. You can add friends but you only choose from a limited number of things you can say in-app. I like having limited responses because it isn’t too overwhelming and you don’t have any way of messing it up or being awkward LOL. The app is made for mental health and it is LQBTQIA+ friendly! I even joined the Discord and found my new online BFF. <3 I recommend this app to anyone, I have nothing bad to say about it! Finch Plus elevates the experience for sure, but it is not necessary to spend any real money to enjoy it. I guess it was a little difficult to figure out how to navigate the app. At first it was hard to find where I wanted to go in-app but I feel like when you use it enough you learn where everything is eventually. The Discord has a lot of FAQs and it is amazing for really understanding the app too. I love Finch!! You should try it :)

Finally something worked.. For years now, I’ve been struggling with a plethora of mental health issues on top of adhd, and it’s made it extremely difficult for me to take care of myself even with professional help. I’ve learned to take care of my emotions, but the motivation to do things has never been there for me especially with my adhd. Doing things like going and getting a cup of water, washing my face, getting clothes off the floor or bringing bowls and plates down from my room has always been something that’s felt genuinely impossible. On top of all of that even, I’ve never had any motivation to stretch or work out. I’ve downloaded so many of these apps and they’ve all just been gimmicky and overpriced, and I’ve found they only made me feel worse because the reminders felt pointless and made me feel like I didn’t care about myself. With Finch, i not only feel reinforced that I care about myself, I also feel cared for by my finch, and I feel that by taking care of myself, im also taking care of him. In the past few days, I’ve done so much more with this app then I ever thought. Im really happy that I finally have some motivational help that actually works. I absolutely love finch and I actually couldn’t recommend it more. Also, I’d like to mention that I haven’t reviewed an app for like four years now because there’s never been an app that I cared for like this. I’m really happy to use this app and I want you to try it if you’re reading this.

AMAZING-why didn't I get it sooner?!?. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression, and my sister told me to get this app. When I did, I was amazed how motivated I was to do my goals. With my little finch I named Burp, we conquer anything and they help me stick to my goals. Yes, it's only been 12 days, but my friends are noticing a difference in how I act and how motivated I am. I told them my secret and together, someday, sometime, we are going to conquer the world!! But in the meantime, picked up saxophone again, and am taking lessons! This app is life-changing and also really cute! The graphics are clean and fun that always seems to pick my mood up and remember there is a world of happy and cute things. This app should deserve nothing but a 5-star review and some happy cheepers. I do have one complaint. Yes, my phone is old (it serves me just fine), but the app still glitches across my screen. (Ex: I go from the shop to my main page) None of the other apps on my phone do this, so I think it is the app thats doing it, but am not sure. I understand if you cannot fix this, and it is not really that important, but it would be nice not to have a glitchy app. That's it!! Thank you to all the Gardians, who got me a free premium plus trial-you really helped me stay focused in the first 3-4 days. XOXO, Auntie Em

I never expected this to work as well as it does. But it works! This app has done something I never thought would be possible for me: it has successfully incentivized me to be productive and compassionate with myself. I deal with anxiety and depression on a daily basis. It often makes it very difficult to do simple things like get out of bed and shower or leave the house. But all of this is becoming a lot easier since I downloaded this app! Finch has revolutionized my self-care process. I love the way that Finch characterizes my baby Bonbon. I feel like there is real thought and consideration put into certain actions like the little chats we have, as well as the constantly evolving customization options and the main mode of currency. It feels less like a to-do list and more like building a loving relationship with a Tamagotchi-like pet. It gamifies without feeling intrusive or resorting to micro transactions (though, they are there, along with a paid subscription option) At the end of the day, I know the company needs to make money, but everything about Finch—from its soft and comforting colors and characters, to its gentle messages and array of mindfulness/ self care options—genuinely feels tenderly designed and more indicative of human touch than I ever thought would be possible in a self-care app. I love this app. I love my baby Bonbon. I love getting virtual hugs from my friends. I’m so happy I downloaded this app after my friend sent me the invite.

I love this app. I’ve been using this app for two years and it’s been a really great and fun way to make sure I make space for mental health in my day. My favorite thing right now is writing things I’m grateful for and doing breathing exercises, but probably the best part of this app is that there is so much you can do so your practice can evolve to fit your needs. My one suggestion is I wish I could write a free form sentence or couple of words in the mood check-ins instead of having to quantify my mood on a scale (or at least make this an option or setting). The reason is that quantifying my mood actually stresses me out because there is an implicit judgement that a higher ranked mood is better than one with a lower number, so I feel unhappy about my mood if it isn’t high which creates a bit of a negative feedback loop. In general there is research that shows that “trying” to be happy in this way is counterproductive, which I think is what I am experiencing. Instead, I think reflecting on my mood in a more free form way, even if it’s just writing a word or short sentence to describe it, would be more helpful because I can think about my mood without having to turn it into a binary of “good” or “bad”. If then you did sentiment analysis on the free form writing like you do for reflections I think that would be interesting. Overall I am so grateful for this app and the hard work of the developers! You have made my life significantly better :)

Perfect is the only way I describe this app.. Well it all started when the doctor told me I needed a therapist but my dad lost his job so we couldn’t afford it. That’s when my friend introduced me to finch. I thought it was so silly because I did not believe an app could help me. But literally y’all must’ve don’t some witch stuff cause this app literally works. I love every single feature. The reflections are so fun and I love that it gives writing prompts (but you can just free write too!) I love being able to buy cloths for my finch moss. I love that moss’s personality grows on each adventure and how he can like things and dislike things. The app is just so intelligent! I gotta tell you I think my favorite thing is the soundscapes. They are basically just white noise but different because you can choose how long you want it to go for and they have so many fun noises. I also tried the finch plus free trial and I think that the creators were really reasonable about what you needed finch plus for or what not. You can listen to soundscapes without finch plus but you can’t listen to the mixes. That’s very reasonable to me. And I love the timers. Without timers and soundscapes I would never be able to focus. I just adore this app so much. I can wait to see what it’s like when I’m guardian. This app makes me so happy. I still probably need a therapist but I’ve really learned to love myself from this app. Thank you finch team! - a person made happier because if finch

Amazing App- Saved me from my OCD. I am 22 years old and have had a very long struggle with anxiety and depression since childhood. I also struggle with several traumas and last year received a diagnosis of OCD. My intrusive thoughts were absolutely crippling. I dropped out of school, something I loved more than anything, because I was throwing up in the parking lot daily when it was time to go to class. I could barely work or pay my bills, much less do dishes, shower, or take care of myself. This app helps me to heal my inner child, find a corner of peace, and just offers a safe place to go when the world is too much. I consistently use the first aid and soundscapes during panic attacks, and the journal prompts have come up many times during therapy. It is fun and exciting and healing to be kind and take care of a virtual creature, and tricks you into taking care of yourself. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Once I established a habit of using my app, my dog got in a tragic accident and lost his leg. This app helped me to have support and a community to help me through that, and to work through the trauma of the accident as well. I get emotional even talking about this app, it’s done so much for me. It has an amazing team that cares about mental health so much. I tell every one of my friends about it every time I see them. Bubs, my finch, has become a very important tool in my road to recovery from OCD.

Absolutely would recommend! (Sorry it’s long!). Ok, I have been in a terrible place recently. I think I saw this app get advertised in Rainy Attic Room? (One of my favorite games!) When I first started, I loved how it gave the option for pronouns and gender! That made me really happy! So I named the thing Sunny and immediately started exploring what I could do. At first, I was a bit confused but I eventually found out, I loved all the options but I was a bit sad that I couldn’t access some of them. So I have a solution/recommendation! Maybe make it to where you can watch like a video to access it that’s maybe related to apps like this but you can still pay for it! The videos could maybe make it available for 2-8 hours! I would also recommend maybe adding more things like some mini games you could play while they’re on a adventure! Or there could be a small little notebook where you could draw in and you could spend some rainbow shards (I think that’s what they’re called-) to decorate it with different things! Maybe some babycore, cottagecore, or something that you could decorate with! Another thing would maybe be a little thing that teaches you on different types of healthy coping mechanisms! Of course, these are all just suggestions! And if you do chose to do one of the ideas, remember to take your time! I’m sorry this is very long! (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

Something that finally works. I had seen this app in the store before but had never downloaded it. When I finally did, I didn’t have high expectations of it being something I stuck with. It looked lovely, but I knew how I was and could not see myself sticking with something like this. I’m only about a week in, but I’ve used the app every day since I downloaded it. I’ve turned to the app when I was stressed or upset, but I also turned to it when I was happy. I noticed that I used to spend a lot of time on my phone, endlessly scrolling, and now I’ll open finch and spend time doing the exercises. I like that it feels like a game. The more I talk about my feelings, do breathing exercises, take care of myself, and achieve my goals, the more I earn stones and give my pet energy. It’s a win win. I don’t know if it would work for everyone, but within a week, I decided I wanted the full version and signed up to pay for a year. I could have kept it and gotten use out of it with the free version too, because it really was designed beautifully. But because I loved it so much, I simply wanted to pay to get more awesomeness. It requires the drive to heal and learn and grow, but if you’re someone who is remotely self aware and interested in making small changes at a time to improve your life, you could benefit from this.

Finch is amazing!. To be honest, Finch has absolutely helped me with everything in my life! When I’m feeling down or stressed, I always go to Finch because I know it will always make me feel cheered up and happy as soon as I use it. In my opinion, I think Finch really can help people with a lot of things such as, helping manage your stress/anxiety, it can also help with your depression, it also helps with your metal and physical well being! What I live about this app is that it just has a way of helping with everything! If I have a problem or I’m just not feeling it that day I know that Finch will be there for me to help. But there’s only one thing that I think could change to be better. Lately when I have been trying to write reflections, it lets me write for a little bit and then it kicks me out of the app! For anything else that u do in the app it’s fine, but any time I try to write a reflection, it doesn’t work and kicks me out. If there is anything you could do to help me with this, it would be absolutely amazing. Besides that, Finch is the most perfect app to help you with you health and mental and physical well being. If you ever feel like you’re stressed out or feeling anything of worry or doubt, I would go to Finch because it will always help with anything! Finch overall is an amazing app and should definitely be rated 5 stars!

This actually does work. I signed up for the free trial of premium and forgot to cancel it before it charged me $40 for the yearly subscription at the end of the week, and honestly I’m not even mad. I have tried countless self-help apps, read books about it, gotten physical notebooks, made lists, calendars… I can safely say I have tried everything. I saw this app on TikTok and figured I’d give it a try because it looked like a unique twist on another self-help app, but didn’t expect to use it for more than a week. Some days I don’t use it, but they’re few and far between. I love that I can make as many goals for myself as I need, and there’s no ‘penalty’ for not meeting them but there’s a higher reward for completing them the more often I do. It’s silly to think all I needed was the motivation to get fake currency and decorate a fake birds fake house, but it really works. I have all reminders turned off because I hate having too many notifications, but I’ll get a notification once in awhile that just says something like “I believe in you, cheep” or “you’re doing great” and I just love it. Couldn’t recommend this app more to anyone who needs a self-help app, or is just bad about getting through their to-do list. I never write reviews, but this app really deserves it.

Great app for journaling and working it into your everyday life!. This app genuinely motivates me to journal and write about my feelings. It sounds cliche, but this has been saving my mental health lately. It’s also just a really convenient way to journal. It gives you prompts which is great because I have never really know what to journal about to practice things like gratitude and positive reflection. It also categories key words and people’s names so you can click on the tag and see all of the entries you’ve made that contain that word/person which is really nice! While I like the idea of journaling by hand, it has always been too difficult for me to adopt a routine of sitting down to write out an entry every day. I have found that journaling on my phone makes me journal a lot more and since I’m on my phone all of the time anyways, I just open the app at random times and making smaller entries throughly the day. It has been a good app for keeping me from constantly scrolling through social media because it has a widget that puts your cute owl friend in his room you can customize on your Home Screen. Whenever I see my little owl on the widget asking me to chat it catches my eye and I open the app to journal instead of opening up a social media app. All around great app for journaling and working it into your everyday life!

Five star app, lots of lovely beneficial sections. I got this app a little while ago it’s hard sometimes for me to stay on track with it but I know that’s just me, and unlike other mental health apps I don’t feel uncomfortably obligated to check it, it feel like I’m just checking in with my lil friend that I can’t wait to see grow up and help by helping myself. The shop and the seasonal outfits keep me coming back for sure(trynna get those fairy wings), at first I was a bit lazy when checking out the app and thought it was just a to do list but then I saw the journaling, breathing exercises, mental health quizzes, exercises, etc all for free. I had to recommend it to my friends. The plus is worth it too opens up more soothing sounds and mental health exercises I can’t afford it at this moment but can’t wait to get it. I honestly hope people see and read this comment I was going through and a lot of people are hating on the team but it says in the app there are only 8 members (started with 2) and they are looking for more people to work with(with a job link in the app), I also love the guardian section and affirmations I didn’t understand at first but I’m glad I didn’t give up on my finchie or the app, being able to log my mood and review my habits has been very beneficial, thank you finch team :)

Where has this been?. I’m really impressed by this app. Maybe I just had low expectations but driving mental health using a pet feels revolutionary! Really well done, great execution on all the ways Finch is motivating users to take care of themselves. I could write a blog post with all the ways this has been done haha. Two things that lower my rating (only slightly though, because the app is great otherwise): 1. Buggy/slow on opening A few times when I’ve opened the app it freezes, or loads slowly (only displays my birb walking). I hard resettled it once or twice, but one time it (maybe in combination with other things happening on my device) made my phone freeze and I had to hard restart it. 2. Tags need some work I love the idea of tracking progress in the app, and I think the larger picture is helpful (eg the chart of how you’re doing over time, the day by day display of what you did well). But my newsletters categorize my positive/negative associations of my tags based on my status at the time of logging. Eg, the prompt was “what are you thankful for”, but because I said I was 2/5 in wellness, it associated all those good things (my family, dancing, etc) as negatives. 3. Can we get more visible language on how our data is handled? Hesitant to share too much because of this. The benefits outweigh the negatives though, imo. Listing negatives more as feedback!

So helpful and too cute!. I am in love with this app and I’m grateful to have seen an ad for it on TikTok! It actually helps me to get what i need done, helps me stay motivated, set goals for myself, and achieve them! Its helped me to better my life while keeping my attention on my goal and the app so i dont lose motivation or focus! This little bird you raise has all sorts of questions about the world, every time you complete a goal he gains energy to then go on an adventure, with the more energy you gain the quicker he comes back home with various questions about the world. Your little bird will gain various likes and dislikes based on how you answer his questions and I love seeing how he changes and grows, seeing what he likes and dislikes, and even customizing my little bird and his house. These things help me to keep the app around and actually use it while completing my goals. Have you ever had someone tell you to treat yourself for completing a goal? Answering my bird’s questions and seeing him develop is like the treat for me, it keeps me tackling my goals and feeling good about it. Not to mention, sure, there are things you can pay for that would be cool to access, but the free version (since i do not have the money right now) is great by itself! I love this app so much, thank you to the developers for making this, i’ve never found an app more helpful!

Thank you so much. I wanted to continue on another rating I made! I’ve been having a lot of trouble with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and having a lot of trouble with my mental health. I’ve been dealing with a lot because of everything and the way I feel about myself. I see negative in everything and I have low self esteem and have a lot of hate Towards myself and everybody else especially past friends, friends and family. I felt very bad Talking to anyone of the way I felt and whenever I did they just made me feel bad about it or I usually felt selfish to tell somebody how I feel or just bad when I did. I would feel useless to everyone and always would hide my emotions before. I’ve always thought of just taking my life because I feel so tired mentally and when I saw finch I thought it was a cute game to upgrade a cute little bird and see their growth but it was to help me with my growth. Finch helps me express and say how I feel and how it’s going for me every day and say things I feel to scared to tell anyone and it’s just been helping so much and I’m so happy I saw it. It also lets you choose pronouns which makes me feel very happy and comfortable. I love this so much and it’s helped me a lot even with a short amount of time. I thank you guys for making it, helping other people. I recommend for people who need it to get it for any help you. Thank you

Charming, User-Friendly, and Versatile.. This app is an excellent hybrid combination I have really enjoyed. It combines the ability to create to-do/task lists (shout out, fellow list-makers!) while incorporating self-care. It offers encouragement, wisdom, space to vent when needed, goal suggestions that help you grow, learn, and practice compassion along with productivity! You can additionally set personalized long-term aspirations, or, “Journeys”—the bigger picture things you’ve been meaning to improve or adjust. These are tackled over time, as they are broken down into manageable steps. Frequency of the bigger picture goals on your journey can be adjusted/tailored to your pace as preferred. I love how expansive the possibilities are. There are genuinely so many functions within the app to appreciate. Overall, it makes each day special and provides manageable steps that establish personal/work/life/school/family balance! The options that open up with a paid subscription are fantastic—however, do not despair! The free version has a wealth of options that provide genuine benefit as well. This is an app that takes all of my list making apps and self-care apps and combines them into one power-house, versatile, and very special app. Give it a try at the very least, because folks…it has maintained outstanding 5.0 star reviews for sound reason. Be well, be kind, and never stop growing.

I love this, but…. I love this app but there’s not a lot to do on it like I like new discoveries I like the friends but there’s no activity they should be like meeting other people, And you should go ahead and call adventures with them. They can be like a coin of all or like a mini video game. you should be able to build your own all hill play and have more fun with us. I had a couple invited attacks and it the app didn’t really do anything it doesn’t help that much and I’ll keep it, but it doesn’t let you be interactive. Please take this into consideration about maybe like a little video game where you kinda like ClassDojo, will you get to meet other characters and see other peoples homes like prodigy and it should have a menu a mini video game where you can like to obstacles and build and help teamwork others people. it’s not much to do on the app and I’m getting kind of bored of it yes Finch is a really cute one but it’s not that fun anymore because it’s just a daily thing and then that’s it and it can get annoying. And also I feel like you should be able to talk to and chat with other fish people and you should be able to choose Who are you talk to. And you can like have play dates sort of with all the characters and owners. You could also change and be able to choose what you look like. You could also put your pronouns and your style. You should also be able to put what you like and what you think is fun, and just add mini games mini games really fun

No seriously, get it.. I have been going through a lot of mental stuff for a while, I have anxiety and depression and running self-diagnoses of ADHD. I can’t focus on literally anything and my brain doesn’t like to keep track of important things like homework. I got this app out of desperation, totally expecting it to be stupid and deleted within the day. Then I got my bird. Her name is cheesecake. I am now wholeheartedly attached to this bird. Not only has this app made it so that I feel an extra happy kick every time I finish my tasks by getting gems or energy, but everyday it sends me messages to assure me and I swear I almost cried the first time it sent me one. This app is as amusing and adorable as it is practical and I love raising my bird and finally catching up on school work. I made both my sisters get it so I could have a tree town and we send each other little hugs or calm vibes all day. There is a paid version I have not tried. It isn’t necessary in order to use most of the app. So don’t let that stop you. I love the simplicity of the app, no games, no streaks, no pressure to constantly get on the app to stay on track, though you can set reminders, you just hang out and raise your finch. I love it. I can honestly think of nothing I would change. Except maybe add like a tutu for the birds to wear because that would be cute, so thank you to the developers, you saved my gpa and mental health.

OMG ITS SO CUTE. This app has helped me so much. A few years ago, i stopped taking care of myself and completely stopped brushing my hair, brushing my teeth, washing my face, and it got really really bad. I started getting matted hair, and when i went to the dentist they said i was developing gingivitis. My acne started getting worse, and i would constantly be on my phone, rarely taking showers and stuff. My depressive episode was really bad and took over my life. I heard about this app through TikTok, and decided i needed to start taking better care of myself because i’ll be going into high school next year, and would like to stop being the weird girl with yellow teeth. You can set your own goals, and dress up and name your finch!! It’s adorable too!! You can choose a name, choose pronouns for them, and raise them too!! My little basil is so sweet and i love them so much. Basil has really helped me, and since i’ve downloaded the app, I’ve started getting back into a healthy routine; of taking showers every other day, brushing my teeth at least once a day, and washing my face before bed. My anxiety started to worsen, so I added some goals to my list such as do 1 breathing exercise. This app has helped me so much and i’m so glad that people made it :) thank you so much for helping me through my mental health finch team!!

Best Self Care App.. Seriously!. I’ve tried a lot of self care Apps, and I mean A LOT and have quickly felt unmotivated and lost interest in every single one of them.. until Finch. This is the most customizable and rewarding self care app with goals and journeys that you can edit and cultivate specifically to match your needs and wants. Getting to see your finch grow and Learn about themselves is so much fun and makes me excited to check in every day and send my finch out on an adventure. I love being able to choose my little ones colors, and outfits, and decorate their home, which keeps me motivated to complete task and earn rainbow stones to buy more stuff! If you need a friend to get you through and keep you motivated then I 100% recommend Finch! Plus the 2 seasonal events I’ve gotten to participate in so far have been so cute and fun. Ps: There is a free and paid version and the free version is 100% functional and add free. You really only miss out on a few features but nothing that ruins the app not to have. The paid version opens up the remaining features like various reflections and quizzes and stuff. I had Finch for 1 month before I paid for a year because I love it so much ($40 I think for a year 🤔 can’t remember). Coming from someone who never leaves reviews on ANYTHING this app is worth the time and if you choose to pay it’s worth the money. Finch has seriously helped me change my outlook and is something I look forward to every day.

Surprisingly Affirming & Useful as of Day # 3. Surprisingly affirming & grounding & useful - only day #3 but I do enjoy this app. Maybe it’s because I’ve cared for my grandkid - a toddler during the day - since she was born - so I’m revisiting her Mom’s as well as my childhood, but Finch is helping me look at some history & unrealistic expectations & intentions with curiosity & joy realistically. Maybe it’s also because I love to write & I'm also clearing a lot of clutter this Spring - stirring up memories as well as dust - but I enjoy the questions asked & the way my responses are saved. The daily reminders are helpful. The reminder to slow down at bedtime with a selection of sounds of water (available all day) or meditation or breathing exercises are built right in. I also enjoy the aspect of earning points that can be spent to contribute to the story - it’s playful. I’m not done exploring all the possibilities. Full disclosure: I am a retired family physician who paid attention to a range of wellness & mental health issues - I could see myself suggesting this app as an adjunct to other remedies & therapies - possibly as a way for some to encourage basic self-care habits &/or to keep track of their medications & appointments if it worked for them. It won’t appeal to everyone (what does?) but I’m pretty sure that the built in whimsy would have cheered me when I had some grim times.

#blessed. I’m so thankful for this amazing app and its supportive community 🫰I have tried like six different planner/habit tracking apps this year and Finch comes out on top! It’s cozy-cute little environment is less stressful and overwhelming than other tracker apps, and Waffles, my bird, keeps me engaged with the app and I check it on my own without reminders (and with reminders bc i added a few :P.) I love that every time I open the app it asks me about my mood because some apps limit the mood selections to once daily- which quite frankly just isn’t realistic. I use the free version and I LOVE IT. It doesnt limit the apps functionality (which I’ve seen on free versions of certain habit apps- one even limiting you to THREE GOALS A DAY unless you pay for it- not cool.) I’ve only been using it for a week, but I will certainly willingly pay for the full version once Ive created a secure habit out of using the app. OH And the fact that you can “sponsor” someone else to have the full benefits of the app? Literally so sweet, I cried when I first saw it <3 My current suggestion is to allow you to see certain reflections from people in your friend tree. I like to reflect about my sister and would love to have the ability to toggle showing her my memories about us growing up together, and it would be nice to see what she thinks of me!

Amazing! One suggestion though. This is one of the most amazing games in the WHOLE WORLD!!! My favorite thing about it is that I get a little pet birdie that I can take care of every day! Plus there was one funny part where a member of the Finch Team came and sent me a hug. I wanted to send back gratitude. Guess what Sugar (my finch) said? “Should I go over to (whatever her name was) and thank her for existing?” XD!!! Idk why it just sounds funny to me! Wait a second… I just realized I just started typing a long story and not getting to the point! Ugh, that always happens when I’m writing reviews and making descriptions of Scratch projects! That reminds me, I saw make a Scratch project on goals. I’m pretty sure you put that there because I didn’t put that goal before. Wait… I’m doing it again!! I’ll just tell you my suggestion. So, I want there to be a bookshelf and you can buy books, and then you can read them to your finch!!! They will sometimes argue when you choose a book they hate, and maybe fall asleep during the book. If you do one they dislike, they will become bored and have a small chance of arguing. If they like it they will be interested. If they love it and it’s their favorite they will be super exited!!! Can you try making this update please? Thank you for reading my tremendously huge year long comment! 😅

If you wanna improve self-care and productivity- get this app!!. I have never written a review for an app, but this one is too good not to. Let me tell you why. First, they really make self-care a fun game that is easier to stick to day-by-day. They got these adventures your finch goes on every day and enable for them to go and come back faster, you have to complete your goals which gives them more energy, and gives you rainbow stones. The rainbow stones are so you can get clothing and furniture to customize your finch's outfits and home. Secondly, let me start out by saying I have trouble sticking to schedules, but it is 100x easier for me to stick to daily routines with this app. They make it so in order to get more rainbow stones, and buy clothes/furniture and obtain more items you HAVE to return each day and complete your goals. So no worries about if you might not stick to your goals, finch helps you to stay on track and keeps it going day-by-day which is a huge help. And finally, finch is an amazing option for any kind of self-improvement because they also have these small breathing exercises and yoga/stretching videos that are there for you at no cost. Overall, I would recommend finch to anyone because even if you don't need self-care help, finch helps you track your daily goals, be productive, and keeps you on track by helping you take it day-by-day as not to get overwhelmed.

I love this so much, totally recommend!!!!!!!. This app has really helped me better myself every day and it is so relaxing to just go home, get my chores done, and hang out with my baby(now toddler) finch and talk about my day, i also love the little notifications the app sends you saying things like baby *blank* supports you it always makes my day. My friend who does not have an apple phone has this app and can still have the widget which I think is cool. I also love the soundscapes, and i love all the cute little outfits and stories you can do with yours finch and how it will send you a notification in the morning saying baby *blank* is awake and ready to see you, it really encourages me to get out of bed and complete my goals to energize my finch for their daily adventure. OH! And the tree town, you can add your friends and family to the app and add them to your tree town and send them little messages and if you talk about specific people or things it will keep track of that and help you realize “are these things positive or negative in my life?” I also like the little quotes and the little questions you get asked when you open the app, but i do wish that i would not have too pay to get access to things, id honestly rather have adds if that’s what it takes. But other then that I absolute LOVE this app so much!

Finch Support 💜. I’ve been able to share Finch with some friends and have something that makes me check in on myself, something I neglect to do more often than not. I’ve already subscribed to the Plus plan, but I think it’s important to note that it’s not necessary to have the Plus in order to get those self-reflection tools that neuro-divergent people so often forget or let fall to the wayside. The SOS features are incredibly helpful, in addition to creating the small goals for yourself that you can find being necessary but giving you a sense of accomplishment. I can say that I have been able to be more conscious of my actions and feelings using Winston (my Finch) and I’ve even been able to use Winston to help me talk to others about my feelings and actions, because I want to show my Finch off! This is the first app I’ve stuck with to help my mental state and it’s been amazing. The developers are responsive to any questions and/or concerns, which is incredible. In the future, I would like to see a feature where we can share our data in a report format via a doc (without any identifying PHI, of course) with someone - my therapist would love to see the progress I am making since we don’t meet in person very often because of the pandemic. If I could send her reports via a doc in an email it would be a wonderful addition to the app!

Best journaling and self-care app on the App Store. As a teenager going through the difficulties of high school, mental health has been a prominent struggle in my life. Because of that, I have tried various journaling and self-care apps only to find most of them either had the majority of their features locked behind paywalls or didn’t contain anything that could help me deal with stress as a student. It effectively rendered those apps unusable unless I paid a large amount of money—something I was not willing to do. However, I came across Finch on the App Store. I saw the 5-star rating, and decided to install it to check it out. It seemed like a new app because of all the bugs, but it still got the job done and I was expecting the app to be improved with updates. Needless to say, I was impressed. The app has everything from free journaling to reflecting to breathing exercises, things I was exactly looking for. The best part: a decent portion of it was not behind a paywall. I could still do the basic journaling prompts, answer test questions, and look at my weekly report for an analysis of my feelings. In essence, this app has the basic and important stuff down and for free for those like me who just want to journal and get their feelings out. I really hope the developers do not put any of this stuff behind the paywall.

There is so much more in this app than you would think at first glance.. This app seriously has everything. I love the different soundscapes, and they even have a meditation timer in here. They have a lot of different journal prompts, and a lot of them are things I wouldn't have thought of. I like the way you can visit your friends, and even add people to your town that you just want to keep in your thoughts, or that you love. I love the goal setting and tracking as well. The quotes that begin each day are great. there's even a place where you can write daily affirmations. I like the ability to rflect on the joys of the day also. It's those little things that lift you up so well. There's different quizzes to track your depression, anxiety, etc. It will even guide you through various exercises, (although that part doesn't work the best for me as a voiceover user.) And everything earns you moonstones which you can buy things with. And you get to do all of this while taking care of a baby birdy and improving yourself and her life as well. I am so impressed with this app each day I use it. I think it would rock though if we could see what our friends' goals are and send them good vibes when they achieve them. There's still more in this app that I haven't mentioned.

Better on my Worst days bc of Finch. I wanna start off by saying I was really skeptical of this app, and really am of any that claims to enhance productivity and make life easier. I’m not being paid or asked to say this, I just think it’d be good to share. My partner and I are both diagnosed with D.I.D. and we both experience a lot of dissociation. They’ve used this app for quite a while and recommended it to me as a fun way to try and keep up with and remember things (memory loss and amnesia with D.I.D. can be a lot), and offered to pay for a year for me for the premium. I accepted and don’t regret it a bit. I’ve only missed logging on a few days, but like, wow. I love how there are already prompts for bad days like ‘Just Be’ and ‘Breathe Deeply’ that count as full tasks, because thats super important for someone like me. On my bad days I have somewhere to turn for ad-free soundscapes and grounding prompts, along with journal prompts i immediately get rewarded for. And on my better days I’m remembering and documenting a lot more. This app has been awesome for me and I’ve noticed a steady improvement in myself over the last month and a half of using it. It would be really cool to see a feature where you can interact more with your Finch like actively feeding it, or play a game with it after completing a certain amount of tasks.

Love it! There’s only some stuff I’d like for them to add. ( IN CASE YOU DONT WANT TO READ THE WHOLE REVIEW: this app does really help. Id download it if doing stuff like taking a shower seems like a chore.) I’ve only had this app for a couple hours, but it’s already helped me improve so much! Like, showering used to be a chore, but today when I went to take a shower I was fine with it and got in quickly! I think knowing I would complete a finch goal really helped. But like I said in the title, I’d like them to add some stuff. 1) I’d like more pronoun options. The pronouns- although they are for your finch- can represent your pronouns! But there’s only three options. I think adding a custom pronouns spot would be great so you could put in custom ones. Another thing I’d want is being able to repeat goals every- hour as an example. For things like drinking water, I don’t want to make one goal for every hour. So to add hourly reminders would be great! Id also like more mental illness quizzes. I downloaded this app because I have (self diagnosed) ADHD and I wanted to take a quiz on it through the app but there was only anxiety and depression. Although I still did those two and they helped me figure stuff out, I’d still like more of those quizzes(and not behind a paywall). Overall this app helps a lot and the things I want aren’t needs. :)

One thing I would love to see changed…. Let me start by saying I love this App! It’s cute and motivating!! The way I use it is to stay focused on my very day tasks. So for instance, I can get pretty overwhelmed really fast especially since I have a physical disability, and I can’t stay focused to save my life. I start a task get distracted, and start a new one, so if I’ve been cleaning all day, but I never stayed focused on a task, it will seem like nothing got done. So on my app I have my entire day planned from start to finish. From the moment I wake up, get out of bed and brush my teeth, go do my tasks get ready to sleep and do it all over again. It’s literally all on the app. Now I’ve set everything up on my Journeys to make sure I’m keeping track on my process. My issue is that is that I can’t seem to get them to pop up on my goals for the day in order, so I have to sit there and move everything around to get my day started in order. I know it’s not a huge deal but it is time consuming and I get overwhelmed and distracted while moving everything around. I would really hope that in the future they could make it as in the journey goals for the day can have an order system for those of us that use the app like me. I think it would really be a game changer, instead of having to write down each day to get them to come on the goals section in order. That is literally my only issue, but again I love this app and I’m grateful to have it in my life!

Great app. I really enjoy this app, I haven't been using it long but I'm hoping to stick with it because I really need it. Iv been looking for some sort of online or virtual therapy that my insurance provider will pay for and I haven't found one yet so this is helping me until I figure that all out. I thank the developers for creating such an amazing product with the support and idea of helping people who may not b fortunate enough to have a good suppport system otherwise. It's people like u that can do this world some good and give it a fighting chance at survival, it's people like u that I have been so worried, no longer exsisted. But much to my surprise... you people do still exsist and for that I am so very grateful. I have 2 daughters still living at home and both still minors who I'm sure would be thanking u if they knew how much u have saved me, but u r my little secret because they don't need to worry about mom, that's my job to worry about them. Anyway kudos to the developers and the entire team who brought this little app to life and are helping so many people each day. U give me hope that my kids won't grow up n a world of complete darkness with people who have no regard for others at all, now I know there r still some of u out there who do care, so thank u very much! Xoxo

So beautiful and helpful for someone who did now know they needed help. I have been in a rut lately and have no focus and have been struggling to do things and be positive. I’m stuck at home a lot, don’t have many friends to see during the day because I live far from them, I have a lot of hw to do and I work and especially the hw part I keep forgetting to do it or having motivation. Having adhd doesn’t help that either. The other day I forogt I had an important quiz to take and was so upset with myself. I have just been feeling frustrated lately. I also don’t talk about how I am feeling I’ve never been that person. So when I got this app and I saw there is places to reflect and write about things I would normally keep to myself made me feel a lot better than I thought. The little bird I named caju which means cashew is so cute and makes me want to keep doing my goals and keep reflecting on myself. It made me realize I need to keep myself happy and calm and that everything will be good. This app has helped me see my goals and want to complete them. One of my goals was as simple as”drink more water” and I actually did it because it made caju come back from exploring 😂. I love how many things there are that don’t make you feel pressured to do them, it is just there to help🥰🥰🥰🥰

Fun app, could use some improvements. I got this app to cheer myself up and connect with friends via a cute little bird, and to that end, this app is really awesome. The personal reflections, goal setting, and overall aesthetic of the app are great. That being said, there are a few things about the user experience that could be improved. This app has a great library of grounding exercises and guided breathing techniques that I often use to calm myself down when I’m anxious or dissociating. However, these can (as far as I’ve seen) only be accessed through the “first aid” tab in a menu that only appears on the main screen of the app. This would be fine if there weren’t so many screens to go through before finally arriving at the home page of the app. There’s the regular opening screen, a quote/question, a pop up that asks you to rate your mood, and even the occasional “event” reminder that you have to get though to even access the home page. With no way to skip any of these preliminary screens and no other way to access the “first aid” tab, it can be very stressful to have to navigate through all of these pages when I’m already anxious and stressed. I think just adding a simple, clearly visible shortcut on the FIRST page you see that can take you to the “first aid” library would be a simple and effective way to solve this problem. Overall, this app is pretty great, just some things to improve :)

Amazing but one thing. First of all, I would totally recommend this app, graphics are amazing and it puts highlights which makes you understand what you have done that day, even in the free version you get 0 ads and it’s honestly amazing. Another good thing is that when you are doing like these rain sessions (you hear rain) is that when you get out of the app it still plays !! Like music !! Honestly that is absolutely amazing I was shocked because I thought you had to be in the app to have it playing !! Also the finch is just so adorable honestly. I also love how you can make them non-binary. I also love how they respond to peoples reviews, I honestly never see that anywhere, very amazing to see they listen to their community. Here’s the small problem, when your picking your goals if you don’t have the payed version it just gives you random ones, which that is completely fine but, when I was setting my goals for today yesterday it mainly only had options like “give someone your car space” or something like that, most of them were related to cars except I don’t have a car license nor can get one either. So I think it would be nice to make a bit more variety, not remove them of course for the people who can do that, if this is not addressed that is completely fine :D just was a small problem, but genuinely would recommend this app for everyone :)

This app tricks you into looking after yourself.. You might not care about yourself, but you begrudgingly do self care tasks so your Finch can live it’s best life. Of course I want my Finch to have cute outfits, I guess I’ll do 5 minutes of breathing exercises to earn enough to buy it. I feel valued when I can answer their questions and I like watching their personality develop based on my answers. The regular mood check ins are super helpful, especially if you have a mood disorder, and when you log a lower mood it provides you SOS resources. The reflections help me organise my thoughts, and then I can transfer relevant parts into my bujo to keep that a positive space. Even the little things, like celebration for completing goals big or small. It’s a non judgemental space that helps you just be. I upgraded to premium because I believe in the app, and want everyone to have access to self care resources.

Love It. Firstly, I struggle with anxiety and severe depresssion. This game has been absolutely amazing and I have loved every moment of growing my Finch, to taking car of myself as well. This app is truly amazing, I have tried 20+ self care apps, giving up after the first week of all of them. This one I have stuck with for a very long time now, and I am so happy to have found it, because it actually worked!! Thankyou so much developer, you have made an amazing app that helps me through my panic attacks, moments of extremely scary depressive thoughts and many more. Thankyou.

Amazing, unique app :) has helped heaps. This app is amazing. Most self care apps I don’t use more than once and I usually hate writing goals and journaling but Finch is so much fun! I’ve only been using it for two days and it has made me so motivated and way more happy already! Also the breathing exercises are really helpful. It is also great since this is totally free, as most self care apps won’t let you do anything without paying. I named my bird Daisy and she is so cute! Thank you for inventing this amazing app I think it will help a lot of people, it is not like other self care apps and adds an element of fun for me to usually boring things such as goal setting and journaling!

My life is changed for the better. I can’t imagine my life without my finch, Noodle. I always look forward to seeing what discussion Noodle has bought back from her adventure every day. I’ve had finch for around 6 months after my mother introduced it to my partner and myself and now we use it everyday and share our birds adventures with eachother and compare our birds different likes and dislikes. I love getting notifications from Noodle and the support I’ve felt from my birdy, the app in general and the community is heartwarming. It’s incredible watching this app grow more and more every day and i look forward to seeing it continue to expand and grow. Thank you so much to the developers and congrats to the amazing job you’ve done and the thought you’ve put into every single detail of this app. Thank you for bringing my greatest friend Noodle🥰💕

Best self care app I’ve ever tried. I’ve tried a bunch of different meditation/journalling/self care apps over the last few years and this is absolutely the best one for me. While there is a paid subscription option, it’s much cheaper than most other apps that do similar things, and you can still get a lot out of the app without needing to pay anything or sign up for a free trial. I also like that the default settings have information stored on your phone rather than external drives/the cloud/wherever. Finch also just has so many different options and is really good at letting you choose what parts to use- for example it gives you prompts for writing reflections, goals, grounding exercises etc but you don’t have to use the suggested prompts. I also just really like the finch pet and it’s reflections on its experiences are genuinely just really sweet and uplifting. Overall a really good app!

Self care I never thought would help. This has won all the awards in my book. I’ve tried a few self care apps, and this is the one I’ve stuck with the most even only having used it a few short months. I feel connected to my buddy and check in multiple times a day which I’ve not been able to do otherwise to watch them grow and learn while being with me on a difficult journey. The expansive individuality this app provides is top tier, and the developers are constantly checking in with the apps users to make it an environment that quickly squashes bugs and brings in suggested features. Plus you can build a community to be there for you and your birb. I’ve never found an app that helps me thrive as much as I’m starting to while using Finch.

Adorable. Super cute little character, I’ve named mine Doris haha, that lifts you up and can remind you to check in throughout the day. Definitely puts a smile on my face and reminds me to be more mindful. Have only been using for 3 days so far but even that is the longest I’ve ever consistently stuck to a mental health related app. I think because it gives you cute little check ins and you are focusing on growing your little bird character it also helps me personally as I have ADHD and that gives me enough of a feeling of accomplishment (and dopamine for my severely dopamine lacking brain) to stick to my goals and check ins more. Also gives you some good ideas for little ways to improve your day that are quite small steps but give you a good sense of accomplishment (like message a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while, 10 jumping jacks or 5 push ups, morning stretching etc.). Considering getting the pro version I enjoy it so much but the free version still gives you plenty to work with 😊Highly recommend

LOVE this app!. I have ptsd, anxiety, depression + more. This app has been an absolute lifesaver for keeping my anxiety under control, improve my self esteem (including stop relying on others for self esteem!) helping me use gratitude and positive psychology combined with CBT techniques to feel more optimistic in the world and myself. This also provides a safe and positive environment in which to heal and have a list of things you need to get done. My boyfriend got it too and we love sending each other good vibes! It’s really improved my outlook on life and given me a safe space in which to rant, calm myself, appreciate the world around me etc. Also raising a little bird makes you feel important and that you need to help it explore the world! I’d recommend this app to absolutely anyone for any purpose and I can’t promote it enough. Thank you Finch developers!!

Love this app!!. This app is so cute and has been so helpful in helping me remember to do everyday tasks I usually struggle remembering to do or getting through! It’s honestly been so amazing and it got me motivated about tiny things like brushing my teeth so I could get points and send my baby on an adventure! Love the idea! I highly recommend this app! And I’m even considering getting premium because it’s such a great price for a great little app! I would like to see different animals though, the finch/bird is soooo adorable but I’m not super big on birds But. It would be good if the tag system was more accurate and more flexible, I find sometimes it won’t make a link between the correct feeling and the action/activity, and the notification sounds never work unless I’m connected to speaker.

Amazing App. This app is amazing for starting new habits to become healthier while also being fun and engaging. Since using this app I have become more active, healthy and productive. I definitely recommend this app. I like how it doesn’t shove the subscription in your face and it has no ads. One thing I would recommend is to make some of the customisation options for the free version and to also have a few more tutorials as it took me a while to figure out what things do. Overall it is an amazing app and I will continue to use it, I strongly recommend getting it if you want to start healthier habits.

Best self-care app out. Love the app and love that it’s by just two people! Saw the reviews and couldn’t believe what magic you’ve created! Have tried countless apps and knew this one would be the perfect fit the minute I saw it. You clearly understand the biggest issue with CBT/self-care apps is that it’s HARD to be accountable for your own self-care. I would use other self-help apps ONLY on days I felt good and could never motivate myself to actually face them on bad days. What your app offers is the encouragement that self-care will grow SOMETHING more than just your mental well-being. You are attaching a physical concept to self-care and checking in and making it so so so much easier to do for a lot of people. You advertised to me on a day I had a complete relapse and I downloaded it on the spot. I have used it every day since and I am shocked that it’s been a week and I’m still checking in daily - and now enjoying it! Thank you for realising the problem consumers face and answering it. This is truly an example of consumerism done right - thank you for giving me light to face the darkness. You have done a remarkable job.

Finch is a must get. When I wrote this review this app has had 0? 1 star reviews and it’s been 5 stars atm people normally don’t like the app cause they find it stressful but I did to and I stopped using it for a while but I turned off al notifications expect finch etc I am so much more healthy and it makes me happy to decorate the house the adventures and grow that bird thing I can say with much experience finch isn’t stressful you just have other stuff that’s distracting you plus you pick the tasks you can do and some are literally just called “survive the day” some apps I think you should stop going on is mostly discord turn of notifications snapchat, WhatsApp, instagram mostly anything you text or call on I never realised how much free time I have now from choosing when I want to call or deal with stuff online I recommend finch for anyone out there in a tough time or not

helps me rebuild and restructure my daily routine. I didn’t understand the importance of having daily routine and good habits everyday until seeing my psych, and then I found Finch. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year in November, and before that suffered a tragic loss in August. Dealing with both grief and ADHD, I was struggling a lot with knowing how to navigate the days. Since I’ve been using Finch everyday for nearly 5-6 weeks now, I’ve been working towards building a good morning routine where I wake up early, I have breakfast, make my bed and get ready for the day, which helps me feel energised and ready to get things done. I’ll use the app to track my daily to do lists and find that it’s very rewarding when I get to tick them off. My favourite part is working towards hatching micropets and being able to dress up my finch and decorate their room. I highly recommend this app for anyone who struggles with daily routine, struggles getting through to do lists and loves little birdies. It’s truly a game changer for me ♥️♥️

wonderful!. this app is great, it has helped me immensely with developing healthy habits, and the idea of helping your little bird motivates you on days where just helping yourself isn’t motivation enough! my only critique is that the ability to look through upcoming days has been taken away. please bring this back, I enjoyed being able to swipe through and have a visual aid of what my upcoming week will look like! and it was good as we could add things happening in future, which helped as I forget things easily 😂 otherwise thank you for this great app!

Amazed - Brilliant tool for affordable self care. I have recently downloaded and started to use this app for free, and I would like to say a huge thank you to the developers for creating a free mental health app that feels like your using premium service. There is so much that you have access too that a lot of other apps would charge you an arm and a leg for. They have insightful prompts, earning currency and energy for your little friend doesn’t take forever, they have goals for you to easily follow and although I haven’t used it for a week yet, it appears that you get a weekly recap that will offer insight into how you were feeling throughout the week which can help you to know what to do to improve your mood. I can see myself being able to use this as a handy tool to help with my mental well-being. Well done developers, you’re doing a genuinely great thing and thinking of the people that cannot easily access services if they cannot afford them.

I should’ve downloaded this way sooner!. Honestly Finch has been life changing. Not only is my productivity much better, but I’ve found myself being a lot more mindful, more focused on taking care of myself and less overwhelmed when it comes to day-to-day tasks. My little birb friend is one of the first things I think about each day, and has done wonders in helping to improve my overall wellbeing. Huge shout-out to the creators for such an incredible app, as well as all the Guardians who have donated towards a great cause. I recommend this to everyone! Cheep, cheep!

A suggestion!. I LOVE this app. I just have one thing to suggest, perhaps a way to earn gems faster? Such as self care games or some sort of trivia section where you can ask your pets more about the world than just once a day. I would really like to get to know more about my pet/help her get to know herself better and trivia games where you can earn large amounts of gems and talk to your pet more would be a huge attention grabber for people. Personally the best part of the game is buying clothes for my pet, but unfortunately I never seem to be able to afford anything. I love this app and I want to see it reach its full potential. Thank you!

Great!. Hi first of all can you add a new flag to hold, the therian sign (that’s like a circle with a big triangle and a little line)Ok so I love finch I recommend it and all the great devs and guardians but can you add a custom pronoun option? Thanks for reading this really helps me out with anxiety I love it you should get and don’t even try to rate it bad! Thanks -Ren Just if for some reason you’d like to know about me here are somethings, I have anxiety, I’m 13, I’m a therian, I’m pansexual, I use they/them pronouns but you can also call me she/her, I like playing games, I’m friendly, and I go to FCAC

Finch. Finch has really helped with taking more control over my mental state it doesn’t necessarily fix it but it allows me to track it, understand it and is such a positive distraction that often allows to clear my mind, the design featuring the bird motivates me to do it everyday and helps me be honest and thoughtful, I highly recommend this app it has and amazing “first aid” section that can help with panic attack and overall creates a positive space on my phone to have a certain control or no judgmental (due to its privacy) understanding of how my mental state is going , premium is also definitely worth it as it essentuates to already brilliant app also helps provide all those around the world with a mental health assist. Any and all ways you use the app is positive and overall has had a positive affect on me :))

GREAT APP FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT <3. It has so many great features that allow you to clear your head and reflect on how you’re feeling throughout the day! You can set daily or weekly goals to complete, There are breathing and movement exercises, There are soundscapes you can play for relaxing, There are a few quizzes you can do, There’s a ‘first aid’ section if you’re experiencing anxiety to help you ground and ease the anxiety, There’s a ‘deep dive’ section where you can set your triggers and what helps when you’re experiencing any of those that you can access when you need, It follows your moods and reflections and gives you an overall chart of your day and week and the pros and cons of that week, For fun, you have a Finch you can name, choose pro-nouns, accessorise and buy clothes for (you get ‘energy’ to spend whenever doing things on the app. You’ll get ‘energy’ from writing in your diary etc). And decorate their house. Every day your Finch will ask a random life question, you have two choices to choose between as they grow and develop their personality which is fun. I kinda wish they asked more though!

An interactive diary. I found this app just under a week ago. After beginning to be in a bad place again. Negative feelings and bad habits arising again are something I’m trying to avoid in order to grow as a person. I had a look at the reviews and felt hopeful from what everyone was saying. Well, they weren’t lying. This is an excellent idea that ACTUALLY focuses on the goals at hand (thinking positively, increasing focus etc. whatever yours may be). It prompts you to reflect, but it’s something you can choose to do. You can receive rewards for completing your goals even if you had a bad day. Through that bad day there are breathing exercises and prompts to identify why this happened and what we CAN control. This app has allowed me to look further into what I’m feeling, why I’m feeling this way and where I can take steps to feel better. Identifying why you may feel sad or anxious etc. instead of just feeling it has helped incredibly. The most encouraging part is that you’re helping your character grow by helping yourself! I will be recommending this to the people I know will need it and can’t thank you enough for the idea. They do ask a lot if you’d like to upgrade to the paying service, but this is as any system would. And you don’t miss out by saying no! Truly something that caters to everyone and focuses on the most important person here; you!

I adore this app + a suggestion!. Hi there! I adore this app so much. My partner recently suggested it to me, as I often struggle to keep even a diary for my thoughts, but this app has somehow got me wanting to make sure I keep up with it every day?? Thankyou for creating this masterpiece of an app! You’re helping more people than you realise 💗 I’d also like to suggest a small feature! If possible, would you be able to add some sort of ‘bookmark’ or ‘wishlist’ for each store? Or even a universal one (can be accessed from either store and shows all saved items)? I feel it’d help a lot of people, as i know a lot of people feel calmer when they are able to list down or have an area to save everything they’d like to save up their rainbow stones for! I hope this helps, and thankyou again for making such a useful emotional outlet for me and many others 💗💗💗

Brilliantly designed app for mental health. Unlike many of the other apps I’ve tried for mental health, I’ve been using Finch consistently for seven months. As someone who has anxiety and is neurodivergent, I find it extremely helpful for getting through my to-do list each day, including all the really tedious self care tasks. The design is really cute and clever - it feels like a game without getting you sucked in for hours at a time. It incorporates all sorts of features including mood tracking, journaling and meditation tools, and mental health first aid techniques for working through panic attacks etc. I use the free version and still have access to a huge range of feature. 100% recommended!

Best Mental Health App. Looking after your own cute little bird is by the best motivation to do my daily goals! For example brushing my teeth! But for it to work you have to really want to actually complete these goals and better yourself, it won’t help you by itself haha, nor will any other mental health app. I love dressing up my little finch and taking him on adventures!! They also have daily rewards that you receive for your pet finch if you complete a certain amount of goals!! Collecting all the prizes everyday for the month is so fun and really keeps you motivated to look after yourself! 🥰🥰

It’s my best friend. As so many people in the reviews have said, it’s a miracle how long I want to stick with this app. Having someone there who is excited to see you, who you’re able to encourage and interact with, does wonders for accountability. I love the supportive messages that Finch sends throughout the day. I’ve also really appreciated the thoughtful prompts and goal-setting mechanisms. I’ve always enjoyed journaling and find writing out my feelings to be cathartic, but when I’m at my lowest, even that can feel pointless. Writing to Finch, knowing that it will benefit the character and giving me the feeling that someone cares and listens, really motivates me to get my thoughts down and bring myself back up. I’ve struggled with ups and downs in depression and it says a lot that I want to keep coming back to this app even at my worst. I’ve been using Finch for months now - maybe close to a year - and I’m still loving it. Thank you!

Great game but a few suggestions. It’s a fantastic game it’s so cute and it makes me want to do all the little tasks it give me which helps a lot and there’s a med kit for if you’re feeling stressed or anxious and stuff like that which is awesome but I think it could use a few more items in the shop now I don’t know if these are in the shop but I haven’t seen them anyway I think it would be really cool if they added a propeller hat And Little gum boots and I think they should make it so you can interact with you penguin more but play with stuff in the room or make it sit in a chair over all great game 9.5/10

best app i’ve ever downloaded. I have never written a review before, but this app genuinely changed my outlook on life so i just had to for this. i’ve always struggled with mental health and self care, as on some of the worse days, i lack any sense of motivation to get me to do simple tasks such as brushing my teeth. This app is the only thing that has worked for me after trying countless other apps and techniques, as it allows me to keep track of my goals and tasks whilst showing physical progress in my birb. On days when i can’t get out of bed, i somehow make it out with the thought of making Bagel (my birb) happy. Thanks so much to the devs, you’ve changed my perspective on life for the better, and i would highly recommend this app to anyone (especially neurodivergent people)

10/10. Having depression, it can make you feel mentally and physically exhausted even after staying in bed all day, But after downloading this app I felt as if the penguin I hatched was my responsiblity, Even if it was digital and non existing. It held just the the right amount of responsibility and It wasnt overly stressful unlike other apps and I often had great fun with the excersizes on the app. I also really enjoyed dressing up my penguin with the lil coin thingys I earn for doing activities. (My penguins name is Sizzle for anybody wondering) The first aid was great for when I have an anxiety overload or a panic attack. And I really do appreciate how you can put widgets on your homescreen. Sadly, This app didnt demolish my depression entirely, I still have bad days like any other person, But this app has really changed the way I used to feel about life. This is definitely the biggest comfort I have felt in a while. (Also If I screwed anything up in this review, I apologise. Im not the best at writing) This app is a 10/10 and probably one of the best health apps I have ever used. It is cute and I honestly felt way better after downloading finch.

Excellent. I love this app! Both my boy friend and I have found it very helpful for getting our goals done and feeling rewarded even by achieving little goals it feels good. It is also excellent for good self care! There are breathing excercises and different things to help you think more positively. Another thing we love is how cute it is with the bird and that doing our tasks means we can buy new outfit accessories or house decor and we love that because it’s like a cute game that helps you be proactive in a gentle way in real life as well as it having a cute bird to spoil from getting things done. We have much more proactive since using this app and will most likely use this app all of the time, at the moment we use it a few times a day!

it’s amazing. Finch has genuinely helped me so so much with everything i do in my day to day life. being able to set goals and getting rewards for completing them really helps. the daily adventures are so fun as well. i love the absolutely amazing range of self help activities there are! mental health quizzes, breathing exercises, stretching, grounding activities for panic attacks/anxiety, reflections about so many different topics and more. being able to have friends in your tree town and send them acts of kindness really helps as well because we can all motivate each other. i’ve got a group of friends and we all struggle with anxiety? depression or ADHD and they’ve all said it’s a really helpful app. there’s just so much available, even without Finch pro, and there’s not one part of the app that i don’t use. it’s ALL amazing. i would recommend anyone who struggles with ADHD or anxiety, or even just wants to be more organised, to download this app. thank you to whoever created Finch

First app I’ve used for longer than 3 days for habits & self care. Honestly, I’ve never opened most habit, self care, daily journal apps more than once. I’m on Day 3 of 7 trialling premium, and honestly it’s an amazing app. I believe some slight feature additions would be great which I’ll list below: - An easier way to access and review goals you set for future dates (like a calendar, maybe 2-3 days though), such as “set goals for tomorrow”, - A reminder if something is already on your goals list for that day, and an option to add it any way (ie brushing teeth) - Restyling of some of the questions in auto tagged text submissions when clicked on in the “Add to goals” section as some don’t make sense, ie, I’ve had “Schedule time for soap” with #Soap - Some extra categories for things like Hygiene, or the ability to write something in the “Other” options I think you’ve got really great, solid foundations to build on. Really great job, I think it’s going to become very popular.

TO THE DEVELOPERS!. I don’t normally write reviews but this app deserves one! Tysm for making this app! It is so adorable. I am glad that it helps with being productive in a fun way. I love how u can interact with friends and lets you motivate ur friends by sending hugs and stuff. Even though I don’t have money to buy the plus, I was so happy that i was given a 3 day free trial. I honestly hope I could buy it now. But the whole purpose of this review was to ask if you could trade items to friends, because I have stuff that I was to sell for gems, but my friend says she wants it. I kinda hope you could add a trading feature. If not that’s understandable too.

Great Self Care App. I really love Finch, and it has helped me a tonne in doing the small self care tasks that are so easy to skip over each day. I pay for the premium version, and find it is 100% worth the money, but even the free version is extremely good. Your little pet bird is very funny and fun to interact with, and I found I formed a bond with it very quickly. Doing tasks gives you stones, which you can spend to buy clothes and colours for your bird, and really personalise it. I have never stuck with a self care app for this long before, and it has me on such a good roll that I have managed to integrate small amounts of exercise multiple times a day, every day, and haven’t skipped one yet. No other app has managed to help me do that before.

Easy neurodivergent friendly routines. I’ve used this app for nearly a year now and it works amazingly. I’m auDHD (autistic and adhd) and was looking for an app that helped me built routine for ages and I think I found it with finch. Most apps focus on streaks and having to use the app everyday but I’ve always found that over whealming and stressful. Finch is there whenever I need it, and nothing more. I use it to keep track and remind me to wash my face and brush my teeth at night but if I don’t do those things it doesn’t punish me. I also love the breathing exercises on here, they are timed and you can pick different times and types of breathing. It’s nice and visual so I can just sit there and focus on my breathing for a minute then go about my day I love reflecting on my day with finch because I don’t have to get up and get a book and pen. I can do it thought the day witch I really like. Also my bird rocky has a mushroom hat and an autism pride flag, what more could you want .

Newly downloaded - love it 🤍. I downloaded this app after I kept getting ads and decided to give it a shot. I use the free version and even without paying you still get an absolutely amazing experience from this app! I see it as an interactive checklist and I have notice a boost in motivate in myself since I’ve downloaded this app and I will 100% recommend it to others I know because I think they can greatly benefit from this app the same was as I have! The only note I have on this is how easy it would be to just pretend you did all of your tasks, I am not sure of a fix for that note but that isn’t even a major issue. I love this app and I 100% recommend it to anybody who is interested in downloading it.

best app ever. if you’re looking for a self care app that’s actually good and really motivating then look no further! this app has everything from mindfulness to reflection to goal setting and more! the little bird is honestly the cutest thing ever and being able to see it’s personality develop is so motivating! having friends in your tree is really good too, because you can send each other hugs, strength, calm, or simply say hi and it’s so cute to see their bird visiting you. the only problem I have with the app is that you can only add up to 8 friends, which is bad because I’ve recommended this app to everyone I know and I don’t have enough space for everyone! if you could add more friends in a future update that would make this app even better! only having up to 8 friends is my only issue with the app but other than that go download it, you won’t regret it :)

TRUST ME YOU NEED TO GET FINCH!. Wow-where do I start! Here’s so many awesome things about this little app that I love! He app motivates you to get more active, see friends and build a better self! I named my finch Missy! She’s so cute! I love the season rewards and am exited for the ones to come! You really should get finch-trust me! No-one has written a bad review so far! The people who made it must me MASTERMINDS. But at the moment I am struggling with one problem. My seasonal rewards aren’t coming up and I’ve tried disabling them and then re-enabling them but it’s not working. But apart from one complaint, it’s an awesome app and I love it

Great app!. This is a great app that really helps your mental health, it creates healthy habits and you can hook up with other people who have finch which is awesome! I went on an adventure with my besties finch and it really made us a lot closer. I think the best part is that it is basically free, I say basically because the only place where there is adds is the shop bit where you can get your finch outfits but that’s really it. The whole app works good enough quality that you’d think you’ve already paid for it ! One of the best apps I’ve downloaded for many years. Thankyou to the creators of finch for creating such a safe and mindful place to relax at the end of long days ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🖤🤍

Just amazing. I have only recently got this app but it has helped me so much, from venting instead of holding stuff in to helping me with setting a routine and sticking to it. I just love this app so much and recommend it highly. As well as this with most apps which have a free section and a section of extra stuff you have to pay for to get it does not limit you too much and you are still able to use the app to the full extent without needing to pay (unless your not like me and know you will forget for a week and come back to)

Very clever app and a great resource!. This app is super fun and has been such a great resource for me, it can be hard to be motivated to track moods and journaling with other apps, but I think this app is so clever in the way that it weaves it in so it feels like you’re just doing it as a part of a game, but it’s also super fun and even reminds me a little bit of animal crossing! It helps me forget about whatever it might be that I’m worrying about and just enjoy the app, kind of like I used to do with video games when I was younger! Awesome app and I can’t wait to see how it changes with updates! Thank you so much to the creators of this great app!

Fantastic. My depression has dropped from severe to moderate and this app has helped with that. I struggle with motivation and interest in doing things so the goals were really helpful with a cute reward for them. The notifications are really nice and engaging and have the perfect amount and timings without being too much. Recommendations for developers: 1. Once you’ve gone on adventures it looks like there’s not much to do but I like that the extra energy goes towards gems at least. 2. More interactions with the finch would be cute, I had to google how to pet the finch I don’t remember that being shown, it says it wants to chat but I don’t think it’s an option unless it’s end of an adventure? 3. I like that you can adjust the bedtime so that finch is awake when you might check on it, it would be even better if you could select if a goal goes towards that days or the day before. For example I’ve checked off my ‘drink water’ goal whilst I was still up at 1am and this results in me not being promoted to complete that goal for that next day as it’s already checked off. Thank you for this app!!

I’m in love!!!. I have tried so many apps like these, mental health apps, task apps all kinda apps and they never ever stick! But somehow they’ve managed to combine them all and made it the most enjoyable experience ever! I’ve named my bird Tofu and he’s so cute 🥹 they’ve got tasks like “look in the mirror and say “I can do it” which is so cute or “survive the day or “just be” which are just so nice to not have to put all these unrealistic goals for yourself and actually feel like you’ve done something by the end of the day when you really just can’t do anything. I cannot recommend this app enough! My friends are gonna be sick of me talking about my cute little baby tofu but who cares 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Great for neurodiverse adults too!!. A bunch of my friends (we're all neurodivergent in some form, and all 21+) have difficulty maintaining daily habits and getting even small stuff done without motivation. We've all found since using Finch that our general motivation is higher!! It has so many useful features and even the free version has so much it's super usable even without the paid content, which just seems like some extensions on the already wide capabilities it offers. It's cute, you can add your friends in order to help them out and send cute little acts of kindness, it has some really handy tools like soundscapes, stretching and breathing exercises, and depression/anxiety tracking, and it's super intuitive to use, so even though I've only been using it a few days, I can see myself using it far into the future!! The ability to block certain tags is super handy to keep triggering suggestions out also, it's not something you see often, and it's not super demanding and annoying like a lot of habit tracking apps <3 TLDR: great, easy app, with heaps of free content and really hard working devs. Stuff is constantly in the works and it's all useful features! Sensitive to topics other tracking apps aren't, and really handy with general mental health tools.

I LOVE FINCH. wow. just wow!! finch has absolutely changed the game for me - i am so much more motivated to look after myself and get things done that i’d usually put off. in fact, with finch, i’ve been doing things that aren’t necessarily urgent but have made life so much easier and fun! i’ve been given lots of ideas for stuff to do as well - in terms of self care, exercise, connecting and caring for family and friends, work/study, and much much more!! i absolutely love finch and would recommend it to anyone and everyone!! also - i love my guardian angel, thank you so so so much ❤️

Finch is changing and saving lives. Finch has led to huge improvements in my health. The developers really ‘get’ how hard it can be to stay alive and keep functioning. When I first started using Finch, at suggestion of a psychologist who had heard about it, it felt manageable. The simple starting goals - ‘survive the day’, ‘get out of bed’ - were ones I related to. I couldn’t achieve much, but I did manage to survive the day. ‘Finally, something that’s achievable for me’, I thought. I haven’t bothered to make my bed for many years - ‘what’s the point? What difference will that make’. But it does make a difference. I’ve now been able to add more goals and am functioning better than I have in many years. When I look at what’s changed since I started using Finch that could otherwise explain why I’m doing better, there’s one thing, but I truly think it’s mainly Finch. It’s amazing how being kind to an artificial bird on a screen can lead to greater self care and improved functioning. I really like how the data only stays on your phone, so there’s no corporate spying or data theft. With so much surveillance, lack of privacy, hacking etc these days, that’s an important feature. Thank you to the developers for your wonderful initiative. You are changing - and saving - many lives.

My Finch Review. Finch is a fun,cute,funny and helpful little game. It really does help your mental state and point of view whilst making it fun. The game lets you train a little Finch and bring him up. If you complete your tasks your Finch grows more healthy and smart. It’s so adorable and you can give him a little outfit. I’m only on day two and feel a lot more healthy and happy. My friends and I have a town and enjoy sending each other waves and hugs through the chat feature. If there was one thing I wish the app had it would be the ability to play with your little dude,for eg. having a little place where you can rub his or her tummy or tickle it and here it laugh or throw a ball and play fetch. Overall good app and would recommend for mental health and fun. 4/5⭐️

The new wave of self care. For years I’ve tried many different methods to keep me on track: to-do lists, calendars, journaling, habit trackers, etc, but nothing has been as simple yet feature-filled as the Finch app. If there’s one thing my ADHD brain struggles with is keeping a routine. However, as of the the start of this year, my Finch ‘Jinnie’ has turned one year old. From the colourful designs, cute customisation and reflections, this app is just what I needed. The app combines previous popular methods of staying on track in life including diary reflections and todo lists with the act of taking care and strengthening your bond with your pet. This bond you grow is what always has me coming back, even on my worst days. The Finch app is leading the way for future methods of self care and organisation. 🤍

Genuinely the best. I’ve been using Finch for over a year now and I can genuinely say my little bird has gotten me through a lot. Taking care of yourself to take care of a little birb baby works so so well, I love seeing her go on adventures and learn new things and grow, I love buying her new clothes and furniture, it gives me a reason to make my bed and brush my teeth on days when I just want to hide away. When my grandpa passed away I struggled a lot and it only took a couple of days before the app recommended me grief exercises/prompts everyday. It was really strangely comforting to have some recognition that every single day was hard and full of grief when so many people just moved on and expected me to as well. It really helped me process things a lot better too. Couldn’t be more thankful to the team who made this app, you guys have made such a huge difference to my life.

Totally life changing. I downloaded finch after seeing a recommendation on the App Store, and I guess it knew what I needed more than I did myself. The free version is still packed with features that come with the paid, so even if you don’t subscribe you aren’t missing out on the condor the app offers. Being a 90’s kid I compare finch to a tamagotchi but better because the bird doesn’t die from forgetting them for 4 hours. It offers simple ways to get dopamine and complete day to day tasks. I am ADHD, depression and anxiety, so I struggle with routine alot but finch has managed to help me maintain my daily activities and mental wellbeing. Thank you so much for making this app.

Watch app?. I really love this app, it’s cute and also helps me keep track daily activities and also make good habits. I’m currently trying to make my finch look like one of my fav characters and it just give me the extra motivation to grind out some more things. But one thing I would really like to see is a watch app so that I can add stuff on the go from my watch as sometimes I don’t have the time to bring my phone out so just tapping my Apple Watch is the best option. TLDR: Love the app, is helping make grate habits and love having the customisation of my finch and the only change I would make is to add a watch app for more ease to click on completed tasks

You have to pay for this app to be usable. I have used this app every day for the past four months. It is very helpful and I wish I could give it a higher review because I’ve benefited greatly from it, especially with forming habits and routines, and calming down from anxiety. However, this app often causes me anxiety. I have OCD, and when I open the app on random days, all of my goals will be disorganized. I would imagine for someone without OCD, this would be annoying as well, because some goals you specifically want in the morning and some specifically later in the day, and they all get muddled. I have asked the team about this, and they “fixed” this problem by adding a feature to Finch Plus to allow you to organize goals by journeys. I don’t believe it’s fair to have that kind of organizational feature hidden behind a paywall. They have raffles that allow you to have Finch Plus for a month, but what happens when the month is up? It’s the principal of the matter. This app has actually caused me more anxiety, especially in the morning when I start my day. Its especially upsetting when I spent the previous day organizing them, and then the next day they are disorganized again. Or I’ll go a few days with all my goals in the right spot, and randomly on a day where I’m very busy, they’re all misplaced again. The whole point of this app is to have goals. I probably have about 30 goals meant to be completed throughout my day. Having my first goals to be halfway to the bottom is incredibly frustrating, and has often sent me into a panic attack. I know that’s a ridiculous reaction, but I have OCD. I’m debating deleting this app all together because of how frustrating this has been for me. And having the feature that would prevent this anxiety behind a paywall is unfair. This is a feature that would simply make the app usable.

Clever Concept!. This app helps you to care for yourself by incentivizing your own self care goals with little treats & rewards for your adorable little creature. It’s a fantastic idea for someone that typically puts others before themselves! Been using the free version for a couple of months now & can directly attribute better self care to this app. Will continue to make adjustments to my goals & hopefully my quality & quantity of self care will increase even more :)

Finch plus. I love it. So much fun. I have so much to learn. I am only on day three I am hoping to share it with some friends who are not on Finch and then we can communicate with a Little birds it takes a little while to get used to it. I want the regular Finch care Inc. I clicked on Finch plus so I don’t know how to get rid of Finch plus and add Finch car inc. Other than than that I’m quite happy

I love it. Finch is awesome your pet keeps you motivated and it’s so cute I love it and it’s adorable!!

Sign In. I deleted the app a while ago because I needed more space for storage and today I redownloaded it and I'm not able to sign into my old account. I was really disappointed.

Olivia. Super helpful and helped me get through tough times

Finch. I love this app already even though I just got it yesterday but it has already made me feel better and more motivated. Although I do think the trial is a bit to expensive. I’m fine just doing the free version!

simple, fun and relaxing. this is so easy to use. fun little pal for getting things done, building routine and starting healthy habits

cutest ever.. i love this SO much. my finch, pickles, helps me so much. i’m on half a year on this app! it has done so much for me. but would you ever add the option to switch out/change the appearance of your finch? i didn’t understand how it worked at first and i think pickles is kinda ugly and i desperately want to alter his appearance.

Not bad 🤷‍♀️. It’s not a bad game , finch helped me a lot (struggling with anxiety)It’s confusing in the beginning because once you hatch your egg it doesn’t give you any instructions on what is what, so my suggestion is for new players add in an intro on how to play and show them all the different things in finch. By the way, the free version is great, so it’s not worth getting premium (which is pretty expensive, around 100$ per year ) unless you want to. If you are looking for mental health apps, I’d recommend this one, you’ll most likely not be able to find anything better. Just don’t enter the 7 day trial for premium, like most of the negative reviews say and you’ll be good. My honest rating is 8.5/10 😊

amazing. i 100% recommend this game! it’s so cute and so comforting. i check in on my finch every day! it helps encourage me to do things that i can’t push myself to do! i love dressing her up and petting her and going on adventures! thank you for making this game! 10/10

Finch. It’s the best

Cutest Mental Health App. I’ve tried a few different MH apps in the past but always gave up on them due to lack of motivation. Finch is so cute and like a virtual pet that you take care of by caring for yourself. It’s really helped me stay on top of the small self care things that my ADHD tends to forget. Also the guardian concept is so wholesome, love a supportive app with such a high community focus

Best app. I’ve been struggling with mental health a lot and the way this is set up is just amazing, it’s helped me so much . Also because of my finch “peanut” I’m actually interested and I haven’t had to pay for anything it’s amazing

I love finch why🤩. Finch has always been there for me.

Thankful. I am thankful my daughter shared this app with me. It is helping me make small changes which I know over all will help with my mental health. There is no harm in trying. Your here so why not.

I love it!!!. The fact you don’t have to pay to have the app and you can invite friends along with dressing up your finch is amazing. I absolutely love this app and it helps with my mental health

adorable and very helpful. made me able to complete tasks that have been rly hard and helpful reminders to complete tasks

Amazing app- how do I change colour back??. First up to date modern mental health app. Was so happy when it asked what pronouns my bird will use :) Also the advice and help it recommends is incredible. I absolutely recommend this if you’re struggling. I’ve tried many apps before but this is the one app I can actually see myself keeping. Other apps are overly positive and unrealistic Update: I randomly got the option to change the colour of my bird to blue red and yellow I think, I chose blue but I really want to go back to white but I can’t figure it out. I tried to google it but there’s almost no helpful info online. Please please please help me

I really like this app. It makes it so easy and fun to set goals, keep track of tasks, and sprinkle the day with reflection and breathing exercises.

Wholesome Accountability App. Learn how to practice rituals and develop new habits in this sweet little adult-Tamigotchi app!

Add games. please add an update to play games with your finch

The Best App I’ve Had. Finch is the best app I’ve ever had. As a person with mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions, having a way to track and motivate functioning is amazing. I use this everyday! I also have my best friends on the app, and we are able to send each other little messages throughout the day for motivation which is awesome. I have recommended this app to so many people, including health professionals! If you’re thinking of getting this app, do it!!

CUTE, FUN, RELAXING, LITERALLY SLAY. No joke this is actually my favourite thing in the world I have an emotional attachment to my Finch and I feel so calm and happy now it’s so fun!!!! Live, laugh, love it. If you’re thinking of getting it… GET IT!!! Best app ever.

Stop. Omg good amazing yes

Finch rating 5 stars. Finch is the best app on my phone I am mentally attached to my little birb they are adorable

Too many “special events”. I used to think it was cute, but now the entire focus is getting items from the never ending special events. Now it’s just a rat race, and I don’t get to just enjoy my pet and my thoughts. I’m working towards a goal of getting things I’ll never actually enjoy because the next day there’s a new item, and the next day a new one, and so on. A special event once in awhile fine, but it’s never ending and I’m finding my mental health actually deteriorating now because literally my only focus is completing goals, not for myself, but because it’s the only way to get the items I’m expected to compete for.

My new favourite app.. Super helpful and entirely addictive lol. My little guy is so cute!

I like it. I like it

Finch. I love finch it is everything I wanted if your kid or you are thinking of buying it then totally it is a great game

I LOVE THIS APP. I’m accually not just saying that because it’s accually true it’s the best app ever and it’s made me more productive And I have a question does the finch pet grow up and die? ❤️❤️❤️

Really great. This app really helps me keep myself organized and healthy. It also brought me out of a depression

CUTE AND HELPFUL!!!. This app is so cute and helps me focus on self care, self love, self acceptance and a bunch of other good mental hygiene stuff! I have recommended this app to my counsellor, my friends and my Facebook acquaintances!!! I will definitely be buying the full app when I have the money! Thank you so much for making this app!!!

It’s so helpful. I was depressed and could barely take a shower or brush my teeth. Thanks to this app, now I do and I have plenty of other help like venting or calming down during panic attacks. Plus, I grow a cute little bird too!

Such a helpful app. Finch has been a great way for me to come to terms with my feelings in a supportive way. It’s helped me so much and I’m very grateful that it’s there when I need it. 💛

Helpful. It’s very helpful and cute but some of the things you have to have PLUS for, but, it’s an amazing app

miracle worker for me. this app is amazing. something so calming about a baby bird asking you questions, this app has helped me through rough days more than anything else.

THEY CHARGED ME!. I was going through my subscriptions in iCloud and noticed finch.. tbh I haven’t used the app more than 3 time. So it was weird I had a subscription. It was 25.99. So I went back into my bank and it was taken out. Yes, I should’ve noticed at the time. But! Still they shouldn’t have charged me!! So I will be tell people not to get this app… so be careful just saying.

Why finish is amazing. I love this app I’ve had it for 7 months and it’s helped me so much, just by reminding me to do simple tasks like tidying up its amazing and changed my life.

10/10. This app make me feel so comfy, I love it, I’m always thinking about my birdie when I’m anxious and it helps so much. Thank you!

Triggering. I find the app triggers my anxiety more than it helps me.

Finch. Finch is rlly good bc it helps ur mental health and get u on a good schedule

amazing!. Finch is child friendly but also great for adults! It’s motivating because you have to complete tasks that are beneficial for you but you’re also helping your little finch grow up and be healthy and happy! DEFINITELY recommend. 💕

Great app. I love this app and my birb! But I would love it even more if you could raise another birb and have them go on adventures together!

🫶. Great app, really helps with everyday tasks

Great App. I have adhd and this has kept me engaged and exited for more lol, im considering getting the premium subscription at this point but for now i have the one week free :)

Could be better. It’s really helpful and fun but it could be better. I keep getting duplicate dresses and I’m wondering if you could send clothes to your friends? Can you even do that? It would make getting duplicates a lot more fun. I don’t know. And in the toddler phase, why is the top part grey? How do I change it? It looks really weird with my green but it doesn’t allow my to change it. Also, I was scrolling through the reviews and it feels like you never respond to what people are asking; just copy and paste something about making it accessible.

Download rn!!. finch is a game like an online journal and you get to take care of a cute finch/ penguin on the way. It really help me during these times and all info is remained private.

🙏🙏🙏. It’s fun get it

Absolutely Perfect!. I cannot express the amazing emotions this app gives me. It’s like, someone genuinely cares and this app was specifically designed by people who understand mental health issues from experience. When I download other apps like this, it doesn’t feel genuine, it’s like someone wants to use my struggles to put money in their pockets by making me think that I have to buy something to be fixed, but with Finch it’s completely different! Premium is an option, but it isn’t shoved down your throat, the developers even put a message in the app, saying they appreciate the support with or without purchasing anything. I have Autism, Anxiety, and ADHD, I’m also a college student and money isn’t easy to come by. But just from using Finch, I feel like that my existence has a purpose, and my feelings actually matter, I’ve improved so much mentally from this app, and I cannot express my gratitude. I thought I was hopeless, but having my little Finch who I can raise up, and grow mentally with is heartwarming, so are the little encouraging messages. I feel motivated and happy and I am so grateful to the developers of Finch for giving that to me. PLEASE GET THIS APP! YOU WON’T REGRET IT!

THIS!!!!!. It takes a lot for me to do an app review and usually the app reviews I do are not that great and I try to warn people off of them. This is probably one of the very few times that I’m actually giving a rave review about an app. This has helped me so much since I started using it. I’ve been recommending it to friends who I think could use it and it’s even helping them. This app is amazing and as soon as I can afford to, definitely buying a lifetime membership! This app is everything! I hope the creators keep this going for many many many years to come. If you have ADHD, this app is made for you. If you have anxiety, this app is made for you. If you have issues getting tasks done, or remembering to do them, this app is for you! It’s I think a $70 lifetime membership fee, but you can use a majority of this app for free. I would not only encourage you to use this app, but i’d actually encourage you to spend the money and buy it if you can, because we really need apps like this, and the way they keep it free without ads is because of the people who have purchased this app. If you have been somebody who has purchased this app, thank you for keeping it free for people like me who can’t afford it yet.

This app is really great. I know that doesn’t sound like I think so but it really really is. The characters are adorable. You can buy so many colors and outfits for your little finch and so many decorations for their bedroom. Your finch explores the world while you go about your day, completing tasks you set yourself to energize them and earn in-game currency. Tasks can be anything from a daily habit (like washing your face or brushing your teeth) to appointment reminders to taking a moment to breathe. There is an active community on Facebook and Discord where you can meet others and add their finches as friends in your tree town. It is always fun when a friend visits! And the best part is there are no ads and it is free! You can opt for a premium account with a few extra features (save more outfits, get more stuff during special events). Your little finch friend is always encouraging and it is exciting to see how their own likes and personality develops. And, unlike some other virtual pets, nothing bad will happen if you don’t check in! Special events really keep me motivated and I love checking in every morning and sending my little finch on her adventure. This app is a fun way to organize tasks and improve self-care. I think everyone needs a finch friend in their pocket.

A Year with Finch. After having Finch for a year and utilizing the app every month, I can say with confidence that this is definitely THE best self care app and it genuinely helps!! I struggle with depression, and it makes simple tasks like getting out of bed and even feeding my dogs difficult. With no appetite, I couldn’t even feed myself, so I’m underweight. I felt like a bed-ridden disappointment last year about to give up my dogs, and now I’m itching to get out of bed to wash my face and feed my dogs every day so I can get on Finch and make my girl Mushroom proud. Finch is helping me eat more and makes my journey to gaining weight feel like a fun game instead of a chore thanks to its option to make your own journeys. I have to add, I recently started exercising and I had every reason to be lazy today because I’m so sore, but even then I was itching to complete my daily goals! I feel much happier and productive and it’s all mainly thanks to Finch. It has so many wonderful tools to utilize to start making healthy habits that will better your life and wellbeing. I also appreciate the constant updates that actually improve the app! The Finch team is absolutely incredible, thank you guys!

Helped me recover!. Ever since I was little I’ve struggled with severe generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and some others. I’ve always been wary with self care apps as they usually are just journaling and breathing and you have to pay a ton of money for! I got finch almost a year ago and it has been the best self care app and mental health app I’ve ever used. There are 2 different “versions” of the app. One is the free one, I used that for a couple of weeks to make sure I liked it and there is 0 ads even in the free version. The free version is really good and about the same experience as the plus version. Once I knew I loved the app and was committed to using it I did the plus subscription and it gave me more journaling options, quizzes, different daily challenges and more outfit choices along with more customization options for my finch named Franklin. For me it is pretty affordable especially with how much it has helped. If you can’t afford it there is also a gaurdianship program where people can become gaurdians and sponsor someone’s subscription and it’s given out at random! It has helped me so much with my daily anxiety and helps me journal and learn about my feelings while still being fun! I 100% recommend!

I love the app, but.. I’ve been using Finch for a bit over a year now, starting on my old phone. The app is great, and has helped me a lot with motivation and my mental health getting better through multiple facility’s that I’ve had to go to. Everything about this app is wonderful, from the editable habits, to the graphic design which I LOVE. The one thing that I’m not liking is that you now have to buy the membership to buy certain clothes and furniture. This wasn’t a feature when I had first started using, but now it is and I just don’t really understand why. On my old account I had Finch+, and had bought it when it was around $2.99 a month. My old account is still taking money out of my account, and I have no way to stop this from happening because it wouldn’t let me log into that account with my email, and that old phone’s touch doesn’t work anymore, meaning that I can’t go onto the phone and cancel it manually. I love the app but those two things, though mainly the first, are starting to annoy me a bit. It’s been taking my money since May or June, and I haven’t been able to stop it. I would honestly buy the membership now, but the fact that it’s still taking money from that other account is the main thing stopping me.

i’m kinda in love (with chai). let me start off by saying i’m obsessed with this app. no, seriously. i’m a skeptic about these types of things, and i do a lot of research in order to get something that actually works. i’ve tried other apps and they didn’t help. i have adhd and i often forget to do stuff like eat lunch or rest, and i jokingly said that maybe if i was taking care of something else i would remember to take care of myself. the mom friend override, if you will. …it worked. this app is ADORABLE (believe me, that goes a long way) and i love how they thought of everything. zero ads whatsoever, just vibes. you can name your finch and choose their pronouns (which i thought was really nice and inclusive) and it’s super motivating to try and care for your finch. i just updated the app and the journey feature is my new favorite thing, because i had been trying to do something similar elsewhere and it didn’t work. this app legitimately makes me so happy and while i am slightly annoyed at my finch for having the audacity to hate cherries, it’s really been very helpful. ik this sounds way too positive to be true, but i only write reviews if the thing is really good or really bad and the grip this app has on me is kinda nuts.

Life-changing. I have been in the process of self growth and dealing with depression. This app was recommended to me by my sister who deals with anxiety/depression. I have to admit this app changed so many aspects of my life. The goals I have set for myself are based on my feelings for the day. I also appreciate that there is a way to see where negative and positive reflections occur. I used that tool to identify some of my problems in my work-home life and then created a new journey to improve my work-home life. I have gained so much more confidence in myself because of the affirmations I am able to write and by answering some of the questions related to confidence. I am using this app to also help in my weight loss journey, which is a super difficult process, but Finch makes it so easy. I actually get excited to cross off my goals, even if they are related to working out, which I normally hate doing. I use this app every single day with multiple members of my family and I can’t imagine not having it. I even got into the breathing and meditation exercises, which I used to struggle with understanding how they are helpful to mental health. I now see amazing benefits. I highly recommend this app for anyone struggling with anxiety/depression. Spread the word about this app!!

This neurodivergent enjoys it. I personally enjoy this app a lot, it has helped me with my to do lists by making me want to take care of my little bird. It’s like tamagotchi on ultra easy mode, where you get closer to your little guy by doing things you already need to do in your everyday life. (But you don’t have to worry about feeding it or it dying!) I could understand how, for someone unwilling or unable to pay for the yearly subscription, one might lose interest. I invited two friends and they both lost interest after a couple months. Took away one star because I’d really like it if they improved their goal sorting options. When organized by journey, I cannot sort them further myself, and not being able to change the order in which my goals appear is a bit inconvenient and I wind up having to scroll around a lot to find a specific goal. Even with the standard sorting option,it doesn’t matter if I take the time to sort my goals according to most to least imminent, they end up shuffling around over night and I have to sort them all over again in the morning. It’d be nice if I could move my goals around and they’d stay put, in the order I put them in.

I am blown away.. I don’t know what else to say but wow. I didn’t think an app like this could exist. There’s everything on it! You can customize your finch and its room, and even though there is a currency, it’s super easy to earn it so you’re not missing anything. They offer reflection prompts to write your thoughts down. They give you exercises to ground yourself, to remain calm, breathing exercises etc.. They have mood check ins every now and then during the day. They have motivational quotes whenever you enter the app. They have a huge collection of goals for you to set and accomplish. And you know what’s rad? There is a subscription but Finch is in no way pay to use. You are totally good on the free subscription, which is so great because I keep on downloading self-care apps unknowing that most of the juicy content is blocked behind a paywall. Thank you so much for this, Finch. This is what really gets me to consider getting the subscription. It’s overall such a wonderful app. It’s not a chore to do the reflections and complete the goals and I actually have fun :) I do have one suggestion. Can you guys consider adding a dark mode? I tend to use Finch at night and the graphics are really bright.

the best app ever. This app is amazing. like bro every day i do not want to shower i do it for my little finch bagel. the clothes are adorable. i love the little talks after the adventures. the goal part of it is so amazing. the reflections is like talking to someone you care deeply about. i love when you can click on the word and see stuff about it, such as when it was mentioned and if it was positive, negative, or neutral. i also love the pronouns, so we love our they/them bagel. I think it would be amazing to also include a custom pronoun slot, so you can input whatever pronouns you want. either way, i love the app. obviously no one can forget the no ads. and i absolutely love that you dont need plus to still have an amazing experience! sure you dont have everything, but you sure as heck have a good amount of things to be satisfied. i also love the first aid bit, and the stuff like 3-3-3 and other anxiety calming stuff. the soundscapes are one of my favorite parts because i absolutely love the rain one, it is so relaxing. the breathing also is perfect, and it has breathing for sleep, stress, you name it, finch probably has it. all in all, this app is the best thing that every happened to me. thank you so much for this app.

Full disclosure. This app does not have a single LCSW on it. It doesn’t even have councilors. What it has are “product managers,” which are people who come up with ways to urge u to buy stuff. If u read the privacy and rules on low right of their empty bio, they are collecting your contacts and photos, even though the app doesn’t use either AT ALL to function.
The app offers $40 a year. Then ur told someone (devs) anonymously gifted u 30 days in hopes you’ll buy the $40 yr and oblige the same additional donation. Only after that are u offered a 75% discount of $9.99 yr. The product management shows more than the therapy, which is designed by people without any formal training in MH at all. Is the app for MH or product management? U answer that.
Still, I love the mission. It’s driven by product managers, but there is a real and even desperate need for guided self-care. I would willingly give my reflections and access all over my phone if the app helped me. However, it’s extremely redundant in questions, as only (outfits/decor) and 2 reflection q’s change per day. Nothing else ever changes. Also, the soundscapes are funky. Baby panda sounds like a dog toy randomly squeaking, a crowded mall isn’t soothing to humans, and why is it raining in the background of a crackling fire?!

It’s Great!. So I’ve been struggling with my mental health since I was a kid, and because of my lack of energy to take care of myself I also developed a lot of insecurities. This is my second time downloading Finch, it’s honestly just as great as I remembered. I did good on my own for months, but I’m being a lot stricter with myself seeing as how I’ve kinda fallen off track and finch has already helped a lot. This app helps a lot with the basic tasks like showering, making your bed, drinking water, and several other tasks you can pick out yourself when you download. Then when you do them your rewarded with points to decorate your finch pets house and can buy clothes and accessories for them, and you get to see them grow up and learn about new things as you go on. And it’s completely free! There is a premium subscription (which is cheap and gives you more content, but I don’t personally have it) but it’s completely optional and doesn’t affect anything I've stated in this review! I don’t usually leave reviews but Finch definitely deserves my praise, it’s a good way to set daily habits, and you’re basically rewarded for taking better care of yourself. I 100% recommend it.

I LOVEEE IT. Ok so when I got that app I really wasn’t expecting to like it that much because of the other apps like these I’ve had before. But when I recently got the app I fell in LOVE. I love how it had a little bird partner that I’m looking after, there are also many “breathings” to help you with anxiety, to be calm, to sleep and some more! My finch also helps me get up, drink water, and be active! When I’m feeling down finch makes me feel better when I go on the app to see that it asks how I’m feeling if I’m feeling bad it puts some questions or a FREE anxiety quiz not like other apps and a calming breathing stuff like that and it asks me why I’m feeling bad. When I feeling good it asks me why I’m feeling good it let’s me set some goals and other things! When you do your goals/tasks it gives your bird energy and other stuff like reflections to reflect on how that helped or how you feel after it and it gives you gems to buy clothes for your bird:). And yeah the plus does cost money and I haven’t bought it yet but it still gives you so many other things without it and that’s what I love so much because of how many options it gives us! So I’m gonna just say.. GET THE APP YOU WOBT REGRET IT!❤️❤️

Amazing! Big life improvements!. I love this app! I have a female named Kiwi, and she always keeps me going. My brain is always like “I have to get this project turned in for Kiwi!” Or maybe “I have to get some work done for Kiwi.” Or even “I can’t wait for class to be over so I can see Kiwi.” She has become my number one priority. She’s like a daughter to me. Anything to keep Kiwi exploring, curious, happy, healthy, and growing, I will do. I honestly think my boyfriend is starting to get a little jealous of her, but he’s also happy I got the app because it helps me spend more time with my friends and family. My parents are also happy I got it because it’s been keeping me motivated to keep my grades up. They always give me rewards for getting good test grades, too, so I get other things in return other than being able to keep Kiwi happy. I 100% recommend getting Finch, even if I did download it from a TikTok ad just because I thought the little baby bird was cute. It honestly improved my life and I literally saw immediate change in less than a week. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it’s honestly not. I even have the free version. I would never trade Kiwi for a million dollars, more or less, or anything. I love her. Totally recommend.

one million percent worth a try!!. i never leave reviews on stuff but this app has been literally the best aid i’ve found to decrease my executive dysfunction and mental disorganization. i have adhd and it’s really hard sometimes to stay motivated to finish tasks or remember to do routine self care tasks like brushing my teeth or taking my medicine, and this app has both given me the motivation to get stuff done so that my little guy (his name is Pepperoni ♥️) can adventure and grow and get new clothes/accessories, and it serves as a great reminder to complete tasks i might have forgotten about. as i think of a new task i need to finish i add it to my goals so that even if i forget later on, i’ll be reminded by the app. and there’s nothing better than seeing that clear goals screen at the end of the day!! the little encouragement notifications throughout the day are so sweet, and in my opinion it’s 100% worth it to upgrade to the paid version if you like the free version! (i paid $40 for a year-long subscription, i feel like i’ve already gotten my money’s worth and it’s only been like 2 months lol) i could say so much more but i’ll just say one more thing: if you’re considering it, download it!! 💫

Great app!. Hello! I am a teen who has recently suffered from morderte depression. I’ve been using this app for a month now. I first heard about it from my friends. I thought It looked cool so I downloaded it. It’s a little hard to hard to navigate at first but once you get the hang of it, its sooooooooooo helpful and fun. I love this app because it helps me be happier wile also making it enjoyable to do😃! I have a few ideas that would make it better though. if I could easily check a calendar then you could click on a day and it would show all of your goals, that would be cool. Also maybe you could have like when you save outfits, it also saves the appearance or like color of ur finch to? Thanks. Also FYI I am not paying for the premium version bc I’m cheep/broke but the free version is actually rly good. I have NEVER had a self care app that had a good free version, except for this one. Like, MOST of it is free. This app is rly helpful and can also keep track of your goals. I like how it gives you suggestions of goals or like, writing prompts. I have noticed myself feeling better and more energized sense I downloaded this. Anyway, thanks so much for this great app!❤️

Truly a great app!. I have to say that I had low expectations for this app when I first downloaded it because I have tried many other journal and self care apps and none have really stuck with me or were beneficial but this app is amazing! It’s been about a month since I downloaded this app and I have to say that I really enjoy some of the great aspects of the app. You not only get to name, customize and help grow your own bird but you get to help create a personality for them, I love sending my bird Sebastian on adventures, he’s always got something to share🥰 Anyways though, I came across this app in a rough patch of my life, I wasn’t taking care of myself or really valuing my life but since I started using Finch everyday, I not only have been taking care of myself more often but I just feel mentally refreshed since I started using it. I really also love how the little journals change based on how you rate your current mood, massive props to the developers for putting safety aids for people in need. When I put bad mood and saw that it just made me appreciate the app even more. Overall I love this app so far even with it being the free version, there are so many great things that can help you if need!

It’s kn. I love this game. The penguin is so cute!!!!!!!!! I’m so indecisive I keep running out of rainbow stones. The only think I would change would be that you can just buy things from the dressing room. Because I’ve been looking for something specific for almost 2 months and I haven’t seen it yet. I get a little annoyed by the fact that it doesn’t have a tool to help with like how to find exercises and how to make a widget. I’m neurodivergent and have trouble following directions and finding things out on my own. I wish we could enlarge the letters. I have low confidence when it comes to reading and typing so I’ll often avoid this, even in the app, there should be a text-to-speech factor that reads the questions and good vibes instead of having us read them ourselves. I had a TBI (traumatic brain injury) when I was 3 ( car accident) and will avoid complex things or will not process things super well. Im not amazing with problem solving. I’ve been looking for a while and haven’t found a tool to talk to a professional yet. Im struggling with a house recovery and 2 eating disorders. My best Freind decided to physically and emtionally and occasionally even sexually abuse and use me. I have no confidence and confine myself to my bedroom. Im still only about thirteen but I’ve experienced more that my parents combined.

This App is Incredible. I almost never write reviews for apps, even the ones that I like. Normally I’ll just tap the 5 stars and be on my way, but for THIS app, I make an exception. I have never really been one for these sort of self-care apps, and then I found Finch. The premise of the app is that by taking care of yourself through completing the goals that you set for yourself through the app (i.e. Brush your teeth, make your bed, take 15 seconds to breath, etc.), you help to raise a “Birb”. This happens by you being rewarded for your efforts in the form of energy and rainbow stones. There is too much amazing content within the app itself for me to delve into, but there is another thing that I absolutely must sing this app’s praises for, which is that while the app does have a premium version, the free version functions in almost the exact same way. The features available to you through the free version are still incredible resources for you to help yourself be better to yourself. While there are obviously benefits to the premium version, the app is still INCREDIBLY effective in its free format, and it does not block you with a pay wall. A genuine thank you to the Finch dev team, because this app is legitimately helping me to be a better version of myself. ❤️

Great with minor flaws. I accidentally restored my finch app instead of saving a new file. I lost half of October and half of November! My poor little finch got younger, which was okay because it still grows up again. But I have been on the app EVERY day minus maybe one or two days! I really wanted to get the little hedgehog pet but nope! Not enough days left in the month to get it! Now i’m so sad about it, I’m just not sure I want to keep using it. There are very few (material- albeit virtual) pleasures in life when you are stuck on a SSI Income and I saved up and bought the app so I could do more with it. The whole list of tidy up things is gone and I can’t find it anywhere. I lost my outfits, my furnishings and the hedgehog, and I know the app makers say they don’t save stuff, but REALLY???? You can tell by trends that I was using the app daily. I messaged them twice to no avail. So now, I go into the app and instead of lifting me up, I’m sad that I lost three and a half weeks of fun stuff that I saved up for and can’t get back! Also, my tidy up list is EMPTY and according to directions you can retrieve the items if you mute them, but mine are gone. It is really not working the way it should. This ADD grandma is having too much frustration and not enough happy!

I LOVE This Game!!. I love this game! It is so interactive and just as calm. You pick pronouns and a gender for your Finch in the beginning, mine being They/Them and Naomi. I have made some great progress within myself, this being the second day I’ve had it. Each day of the week has a name and you set tasks for yourself to complete within the day. Once you have, you hit complete and earn energy for your finch. Once the energy bar is full, your Finch can go on an adventure for hours! When they come back, they tell you what they found and you chose a response. 1/2. The game is rewarding and has spots to write down your thoughts and what is bothering you. There are tests to take if you’re unsure of how you feel. There is Finch plus, which allows more activities.. but the free version is just as nice. Totally suggest! I give it 5 stars. As soon as I commented about the clothing store, it was quickly fixed. The app’s admins listen to suggestions and recognize bugs. I definitely will be keeping this app.. as it has been more motivating than my therapist that I’ve had for a few months. I make sure I have all my tasks done by the end of the day so I can say goodnight to my lovely finch, Naomi. <3

finch is great!. I have done finch for over a year and if you are trying to do a quick habit like taking a deep breath or drawing something every day, I highly recommend finch. I am really attached to my birb Apricot❤️🐣 I do finch every day and it is really motivating because if you miss a lot of days, you’ll miss the best event prize. I don’t get why there are so many micropets though. It is also very inclusive with many different pride flags and shirts. I sent an email asking if they could put the agender flag, and I’m not sure if it was from that or not, but it did show up, which makes me really happy to have that representation. I would very much like the aroace flag, these colors:🧶✴️🦷🚙🦕. Thank you! Finch is also great for best friends or significant others because you can send your birb to say hi to theirs. There are many options for what to say. I bought finch plus for $40 a year, and I think it was worth it. You get access to so many more things, but finch is really enjoyable without as well. I use plus for more soundscapes, meditations, and more event items. There is no limit on goals or journeys without plus which I appreciate. I have had a lot of success with Apricot (my birb) so far. Thank you finch team!

adorable. a very sweet app with a cute little pet. I love the concept of watching my little guy grow up. the breathwork exercises were helpful and it’s nice to have a place to write down my thoughts. I also like that it doesnt pester me when I miss my goals. this bird is genuinely better than my therapist. little dude I love you 💕💛💕…however, I dont like the quotes the start screen gives me. they feel like fake motivation / toxic positivity sometimes, and I think that the “start day” screen doesnt really need them. they arent harmful or anything just unnecessary and a bit annoying. 😅 I do however appreciate the notification quotes, its nice to see “you can get through this” pop into my view while I’m scrolling. ☀️would it be possible to add a feature for daily affirmations? I know its always an option for me to just set it as a daily goal, but it would be amazing to see a function for it. no obligation though, I know you’re busy people. and this would be a neat thing to add to the plus version. I don’t currently pay for plus but adding a few more nice features on plus would be incentive for me to buy it I think … 😅also, would it be possible to make it so the”chat with him” button doesn’t wiggle so much? it makes me anxious hahah

Before you download.. Firstly, Im honestly awful at making habit and sticking to them, but i find that Finch kept me coming back everyday. However, there is ONE thing that makes me anxious. Althought you make slow progress day by day, i find myself getting closer to finishing exploring the forest. Im worried that once its over ill lose my motivation to keep checking in. The discovery and likes/dislikes are really such a key highlight of what gives my Finch a personality and keeps me wanting to continue to check in! Im hoping there is another area to explore after, maybe once you finish the forest you go onto another location, if thats true then ill happily say theyve went above and beyond expectations! I will update this review once i find out! Aside from that hinderance that is worry-some to me, this app has been a live saver for me to vent to. I can keep track of myself with goals and track my moods to see if maybe i can find repetitions or things that may cause my decrease in happiness. As i mentions before, im awful at keeping a habit going but ive checked in to finch everyday for 2 weeks so far and i didnt think i would for more then 2 days! This application captivated me, truly. Best self care app ive tried. Yes, download it!!

Don’t normally write reviews but I had to. I LOVE THIS APP! I personally only have the free version and it works perfectly, but I’ve heard the pro version is definitely worth it. Not only is the community extremely kind and accepting, but so are the creators of the app. They work extremely hard to take everyone’s ideas into consideration and implement it into the app as best as they can. I very much recommend joining the Facebook group and following their Instagram as well. The actual app: I love this app. It’s the only app that has helped me to stay motivated. I have some pretty severe depression and anxiety and days can be really hard. This app helps me journal and get out my feelings in a safe place. The weekly reports that I get help me to see what I was feeling that week and specific things I reflected on. The little birbs are so adorable and help me to stay motivated to take care of mine. They age up depending on care and days of using the app. You can name and customize them in the shop. Not to mention, all the clothing you can buy with IN GAME money is so adorable and keeps growing bigger. I would 100% recommend this app and getting it is 100% one of the best decisions of my life!

Making Menial Tasks Worthwhile. I have autism and ADHD, so keeping up with daily menial tasks like brushing teeth, drinking water, showering, eating meals and such is extremely difficult for me. I’ve tried other apps to keep track of daily tasks with little success. I thought I would continue to struggle for the rest of my life with this, until Finch was recommended on the App Store. I have been playing it every day since and it has greatly helped me to take better care of myself. It’s much easier for me to do these things when I’m getting a reward, even if it’s virtual. I also really appreciate the sponsorship program they have in the app. The app is free to use, but some features are blocked by pay wall. I am poor and live on disability so I don’t have the money to pour into this app. Their guardian program allows richer players to sponsor poorer players for a month, giving them access to all the app’s features. I’ve been sponsored for a month now and I am beyond grateful for it. I just wanna say thank you so much for making such a wonderful app. I recommend it to anyone who is in the same boat as me. Also, I wanna give a big shout out to all the sponsors for this app. You are literally making my life easier. Thank you.

Glitches ruined my goals completely. Please, I beg the developers to fix this, or else I won’t be able to use this app anymore. I’ve been using this for several months to plan my days and even keep track of the things I’ve done. Unfortunately the glitches have been getting worse, and the goals have complete minds of their own. I can’t re-schedule a goal on a different day anymore, it will stay on the current day no matter what I do. They also won’t repeat at the correct time, so when I set a goal to every 3 weeks it won’t actually show up every 3 weeks on the day I scheduled. Goals will also randomly duplicate so they’ll be listed multiple times in a single day, and I can’t get rid of them. And worse of all, one of my journeys randomly decided to move EVERY SINGLE goal I’ve completed onto the current day and mark that I completed them that day WHEN I DIDNT. It erased my progress in the journey because it only registered that I completed over 20 goals in a single day, rather than spread out over a month which I did. I can’t even change them back to their original dates because like I said, when I set a goal to a different date it won’t actually work and will still be stuck on my current goal screen. I also don’t even remember when I completed all these goals, so there’s that. This app is an unorganized mess now. And as someone with a need for things to be organized it’s incredibly frustrating. I have no choice but to stop using it

actually helpful. I’m someone who usually doesn’t care for apps like these, I figure my normal to do list is enough for the minimal self care tasks. I’m so grateful my sister told me to give it a try, it’s been so fun and relaxing. the story’s are goofy and entertaining, I love that you can send people good vibes, and my favorite part of the whole app is the first aid feature with anxiety breathing exercises and prompts to understand certain feelings and how to better regulate and process emotions. the “what would you tell a loved one” portion made me cry cause I def am too hard on myself and seeing that in a different pov hit me different. this app gives me hope and help on the hard days, the little notifications that “check in” with me may just be a mindless AI reminder but it really lifts my spirit to have something check in all the time and have positive messages and helpful reminders. 10/10 A small request!! something I’ve always struggled with is brushing my teeth long enough, so i’d request having a timer option for goals!! that would be amazing. ****also if the feature was added to rearrange the goals however I want, that would be good too!

Adult Finch Flight Design. This game is amazing, and I’ve obviously now have put enough time into it and it’s self care check ins to have my Finch be an adult. I really adore how it no longer says the age range of the Finch with the name, and how it now just says the Finches name. One thing I would like to see is an animation for flying when traveling to a new location. I was a little disappointed when I found that it was just the walking animation with a plane over it. But I’m aware a lot of things are in process, and I respect how much is added to the game slowly over time. I’m also glad the game still has a sense of simplicity to it. I’m glad to have joined Finch when it is still developing, because having things slowly be introduced is very pleasing to see. Also there is a bug in the game where all of my Finches clothes will disappear? Even though the clothes will still be equipped it’ll just be the body of the Finch. This happened quite often. There is also still quite a bit of lag when petting the Finch. Final note, I just wanted to express how much I love this app. I am only 16 and don’t have access to buying things in stuff like this, so I’m a bit sad I can’t utilize all of the things that are in the premium version. Nonetheless, for the things I can use, I love.

A little buddy to help you care for yourself. I’ve never had success with self-help/self-care apps because once the novelty has worn off I can’t stick with them. However, Finch has kept me hooked for over a year. Taking care of the little bird really does change how you view self-care. Since my experiences shape by bird’s, I’m more aware of my responses and tend to try to focus more on the positives than negatives. Plus, the purity of my bird’s worldview is endearing. I like that the app has guided journal questions and tracks your moods and the goals and journeys are great. I’ve been wanting to get the premium since I love that app so much but it’s an expense I can’t quite afford. However, I haven’t gotten tired of the free version. I like the emails the Finch team sends weekly - it’s clear they really care - and the little visits from staff birds. This is one of my favorite apps and I think it has helped me. The only thing I would suggest is adding a water tracking section. I’m sure I could make it a journey but it’s the one habit I’m really struggling with right now and I haven’t been great at keeping up with it when setting goals each day. It would be cool to have it built right into the app.

Hope For Improvement. I want to give five stars for all the ways it’s helped me, but my app was glitching badly for days and erased a day of goals/to-do and other progress. It is fixed now, I think, but that makes me hesitant to keep using it especially as I had been relying on it a lot before. I really wish there was an option to save progress online vs. locally (on your phone) only to both avoid issues like this and to help me, with a very bad memory, not forget to create save files and thus possiby lose everything. I also wish the letters to say “complete” for a goal were not changed with the update to be so tiny…for some reason it’s stressing me out. Addition: I’m really stressed out by the extensive customizing of the bird’s colors you have to do as it gets older. It would be fine if it were either more simplistic or you could access different colors for free, but as it is it’s turned into something I just can’t keep up with. And the problem is I’m sensitive to visuals, so if I don’t like how the bird looks I won’t want to get on the app. And, possibly a bigger problem, if I can’t get the bird to look like something nice or familiar, then I feel alienated from it and like the app doesn’t care about me. P.S. I’m autistic, so I may have some different issues with it than other users. But I REALLY want to be able to freely use this again—it was benefitting me very much, before.

Finch is amazing!. The first thing that made me kind of happy when i heard of this games was that the title was finch! I have recently named myself finch and seeing a cute little mental health bird who is a finch made super excited!! Not only that I also love the fact you can change the name and pronouns at anytime! My pronouns are always changing so seeing that option i was stoked! I also enjoy how motivated this app has gave me. When i checked the daily goals option on there I immediately did them later in the day and felt so good about myself! I also tried out the stretch feature and I normally never do stretches or any sort of yoga but afterwords i felt great!! every muscle felt nice and relaxed. Lastly i really enjoy the breathing exercises, especially the anxiety one. I struggle with social anxiety and that breathing exercise was super helpful! the only thing i would change is i would like a bit more options for the daily goals or at least be able to make your own custom ones. I cant get plus because i can not pay for it and i would like other options like ‘read a book’ or ‘clean my room’ those would be super helpful but other than that I recommend this to whoever is reading this!

Works for me. I have loved this all so far, and have been using it for about a month. There’s so much that’s available in the free version and since upgrading I’ve found it even more helpful. The “First Aid” section is amazing for moments of high stress and anxiety. The goals are really helpful too. It’s perfect for helping me manage my stress, anxiety, and depression, especially because I’m taking care of my little birb when I take care of myself. Somehow that makes it much easier to complete the tasks. One thing that I think would improve the app is if the user were able to create their own goals to be saved as suggestions, just as we are able to remove suggestions (which btw is one of my favorite features as my family and I don’t speak much and I can remove any suggestions related to that.) Overall I think this is amazing, that’s just one area of improvement I see. I know you can add your own goals to the list, but I would prefer to be able to add some of my own goals to the suggestions - maybe even a category for “personal” goals where the user creates them? It could be another category only added when you subscribe. Anyhow, that’s just my thought.

Truly amazing. I don’t even know where to begin. As someone depressed and usually left alone, this app is a lifesaver. It’s so nice to have something to care for and love; someone to talk to and vent about your day to. It has a lot of amazing features that you don’t even have to pay premium for, like soothing rain or forest sounds, personalized goals you can set, and quizzes to monitor your stress levels. Every day you can check on your little penguin friend and send them on an adventure, and it’s always something unique and inspiring. You can guide your little penguin through life, just as they can be there as a stress reliever. This app is honestly turning my life around. My dad recently passed, and I’ve had a hard time coping. It used to be hard for me to get out of bed, I would sleep for about 15 hours a day, I used to stress eat in the few hours I was awake, and I was gaining a lot of weight. I just started using the app about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and it’s already helping me. I set little exercise goals, intervals to drink more water, and reminders to go outside and get some fresh air. It’s been helping me so much, it’s unbelievable. I’m still in awe just writing about it. Literally life changing

Exactly What Was Needed. I love that this promotes so much reflection on all aspects, and the tagging/goals etc keeps it all organized in a way that I can look back on and learn from without the counter-productive stress of coming up with a system /enforcing it myself. I think it's helped a lot in just a few days and I definitely would like to get the plus subscription when I can afford the year-long package. The main critique I have is that I wish whenever a new tag was detected for the first time, it would automatically pop up the tag editing menu to categorize appropriately rather than assigning the best guess, and it would also be nice if we could optionally categorize positive/negative/neutral. Reasoning for that being, for example, when reflecting on a poor mood I might say "but X person made me feel a bit better!" and then the app associates that person with negative moods even though it was a positive reflection, which affects the summary/graphs usefulnesses in that regard. Or maybe something like a "silver linings" section where you could put positive reflections even within negative mood periods. Otherwise I love it so far and it keeps me engaged in a way that other self care apps haven't been able to. Thank you Finch! ❤️

Finch 10/10. Finch has helped me from motivating me to doing things that I need to do and what I want, you can make your own goals too! One of the reasons i love finch; I want my Finch (LJ) to grow and get smarter, and if she grows and gets smarter the more things I do that are helpful in my life. When your done with a task you press the check mark button on the task bar. You can buy furniture, clothing, and more! Every task you do you get gems! (That’s how you buy stuff obvi) but overall this is A 5 star! My life is getting better from this app. There are no adds either! I hope you choose to download this app it will help a lot. (Also, you can take a quiz for anxiety, depression and more, but if your results are negative/ there so high that you need help they will suggest things to help you!) this app is such a life saver! All the other apps like Finch you need money to start. I think that’s selfish! But Finch has no charges unless you want premium. The apps that do charge (not just apps like Finch but apps like helping you with screen time) (to put it down) will charge but finch is free!!! I LOVE FINCH! (Also if you like the book “Very Hungry Caterpillar” I suggest you be care full when your finch is done reading it. And they talk to you about it. Or else they will dislike it!)

LOVE. This app is so amazing. First off I would like to say I think it’s very cool that the time you can spend on the app is pretty minimal, once you complete certain tasks, so you aren’t distracted by it all day like other “games”. That being said, it does really help set a positive tone for your day through motivational quotes. It challenges you to complete “simple” goals, which can sometimes trigger a spree of productivity— and at the very least, you can be proud to have accomplished the “small things”, that maybe you weren’t having the easiest time with. It acknowledges that sometimes we do not even think we can get out of bed, and it provides support, and motivation related to self-care. The collection of reflections are thought provoking, and help regulate emotions and keep grounded without being irrational even on a bad day. And on bad days, they encourage you to vent. First Aid feature is incredibly important and helpful, teaching ways to overcome anxiety, panic, etc. Anyways, the app is totally worth it even in the free version, but I’ve tried out the premium version and I must say it is absolutely worth the money. Oh and I’m an adult but I do enjoy decorating my nest, & changing up my finch’s appearance. Lol it’s so cute. Get this app.

Finch is Awesome!. Using Finch has been so good for my mental health! We all know what the right things are to do but it’s hard to motivate and care enough to do it for myself; however when doing those things help someone else, it becomes a lot more impactful! That’s what Finch allows you to do. Gives motivation to take care of yourself to help your baby bird grow and be healthy. Along the way, the bird also learns lessons, which is you teaching them. You can respond differently and the choice you choose ends up growing ur bird in extroversion, logic, security, compassion, etc. this has been such a helpful feature because it helps me understand how my thoughts are frames that influence my attitude. It showcases how negatively I’m thinking. I don’t want my child to be influenced by my negativity, so it challenges me to grow and reframe my thoughts so that I and my Finch can be more successful and healthy. I love it!! I know I am an all around healthier person because of this app and I’m really grateful for it! It also allows you to set reminders to connect with your friends which I love. Plus it pops up positive thoughts to your phone throughout the day like “I believe in you!” So sweet! Can’t recommend enough.

Such an awesome app!!. I have never seen so much cuteness and so much helpfulness in one app! The pet finch you adopt is absolutely adorable. But this app is way more than that. It is like a motivational, self reflection, self care, and caring for others app all in one! Your pet finch can connect with your friend’s, and send motivation, strength, love, or just let let them know you are thinking g of them. It gives you chances to reflect on different aspects of your past, present, and future. I love the virtual gratitude jar. But I believe the best thing is the first aid page. It gives you breathing exercises, grounding exercises, and a helpline in case you’re in trouble. This app is such a great idea. I’ve never really seen anything like it. And the parts that the developers think you will need in time of trouble are all free. The in-app purchases are extra ways to reflex or other exercises you can do. But the most important ones are at the touch of a button. This shows, in my opinion, how much the developers want to help people with their mental health. I highly recommend this app. I even got it for my daughter so that she could reflect and think about what she is grateful for at an early age! I am hopeful it will help her in the long run! Thank you so much for such an awesome app!!

A Wonderful App. This app succeeds where others fail by being what you need when you need it. For the most part, it never feels overwhelming or pushy. Instead of asking you a specific question about accomplishing your goal, it gives options of different reflections that always seem to make me more likely to write something. There is a clever look-back on past reflections that help see what positive and negative words are most in your vocabulary and what they typically are paired with. It has helped me tremendously with emotional insight and i am so so thankful. I also love checkin in on my little buddy which gets me to reflect on my day more than i used to. One thing that i either haven’t figured out, or the app doesn’t have the feature yet is changing what specific day of the week you would like a task/goal. I was excited to start a new “journey”, but when i selected the tasks i wanted all of them were “once a week on sunday”. It is impossible for me to do almost any of them on sundays, so i would love to have a bit more customization on that front. For now, i won’t even participate in those tasks as they only make me feel bad for not being able to accomplish them. Hopefully this is something the developers can add in the future.

Love it!. i genuinely love this app so much. i’ve recommended it to so many people in my life that people think i’m sponsored by finch haha. the app keeps me motivated and i love the idea of raising a finch along the way. i love that you don’t have to pay for the helpful features and the app works completely fine while being free. i enjoy having a place to reflect and just rant, plus the prompts they give are nice. i also love that you can choose your focus so that finch recommends certain goals for you. plus the anxiety breathing honestly really helped me get through tough times. i feel like this app really does a lot and the people i’ve recommended it to (that actually use it) all have good experiences as well. some even use it more than me which makes me so genuinely happy. i really never write reviews in general, but i feel like i just needed to thank the game developers for this. this app gives me an outlet to write things out and reflect on my emotions all while feeling productive because i’m raising a bird. i’m not gonna say an app cured all my mental issues, but it’s definitely made life at least a little easier. i would 100% be an ambassador of finch haha. anyways, thank you. i love this game. :))

Saving my life (not being dramatic). I’ll admit, I downloaded this app initially because I love birds. Like many others here, self care apps never did much for me; they felt superficial and I could never continue on for more than 2 days. However, there’s a calming charm about Finch that just brings me back everyday, wanting to achieve my goals and hang out with my pet (Cocopuff). I also fell off from journaling for a couple years as it felt too personal - I didn’t want to reminisce on my sadness through writing - but here I am everyday, just casually writing down my thoughts in this App, and wow it really helped bring clarity to my head. The design of this app is truly brilliant as it got me attached to Cocopuff, and furthermore attached to self care in a way. The breathing exercises for different situations are extremely helpful for me as well. Thank you guys so much for this app. It’s funny how moving even a small notification like “Hope you feel better, cheep” from my “pet” is on a random bad day. I will be subscribing yearly soon as I’ve never used a self care app for so long! Please continue updating your Instagram too, the art is absolutely wonderful and the content is helpful.

A Great Tool In My Mental Health Journey. I have been working with CBT/DBT in therapy for the past couple years to help lower my anxiety, boost my mood, and raise my self-esteem. This app has the grounding techniques, breathing techniques, and stretches that I need to help manage my anxiety in one space. As well as being able to vent by journaling and having a space to make goals for myself. They also have a really nice variety of soundscapes to listen to whenever I want to do that. I particularly like the household ones like the washer/dryer and cats purring. That’s more soothing to me than an ocean sound but they also have that. I personally struggle a lot with keeping up with any form of self care including my own hygiene when I’m going through a rough spot mentally. Having an animal, your bird, there to cheer you along and getting rewarded for those goals that you accomplish really makes it fun to even do stuff as boring or difficult to do as taking your meds or washing the dishes. This is one of the only apps that I actually pay for the premium and use all the features. I also like that I can add friends to my tree and visit their birds with motivational or comforting words.

I love the app but have a suggestion!. I first started seeing this app on tiktok and I thought “I’ve tried these before and they don’t work.” But then my friends started telling me to get so I finally caved. At first I was a little confused and didn’t really care about the goals but the more I used it and the more my finch grew it became part of my schedule. Now I check the app around 30 times a day to say hi to friends or complete challenges or just check in with my finch, Freckles. One thing I thought might be cute, is if there could be a chat feature when sending Good Vibes. Now, this may be stupid and maybe it’ll just be another platform for cyber bullying but maybe y’all could tinker with that idea. Another thing I thought is if you have friends on finch we could be able to set up play dates between the finches, in which you could get one play date a week or a day or something and your finch could travel to where the other finch is and have a “play date”. It would be the same as adventures in where you would have to wait for a certain amount of time then pick your finch up and collect gems. I don’t know, but I thought it might be cute! Anyway, I love the app!!!

Love it!! But just one suggestion!. I absolutely love this app! I often struggle being able to get myself to do simple things like getting out of bed, changing clothes, eating, etc because they seem tedious and exhausting (even though they’re very necessary), but now, putting these as goals and knowing that my little penguin will benefit from me accomplishing these things has been very helpful! Since I know it’ll also benefit my penguin child, the basic routine things that must get done eeeevery single day don’t feel so dull and like a prison of life. I would just like to suggest something! If possible, could you add like a section for a countdown timer with a ticking sound (or allowing for sound to be optional, maybe, for those who prefer silence)?? Compared to other apps where you grow a garden or something, like Forest, I actually care about my penguin enough to want to spend time focusing so he can get some benefit! The reward for staying focused doesn’t need to be huge; just an incentive to use the timer! Honestly, even the growing of a garden actually gains my attention in this case, because it would be my PENGUIN’s garden! (Can you tell how much I love my penguin? 😅) That’s all! The app is great! This is just a wish that I believe would be super helpful for me for focus! 😭💕

Perfect App! ❤️. I am the type of person who is very organized and likes to have things set but my set back is that I went through cancer and I have very bad memory issues. On top of those issues, I also am still very ill, I have PTSD/chronic anxiety, and chronic pain. Due to all of that, I guess you can say my mental health isn’t the best at times. The finch app is a life saver at times. I use it literally everyday. Not only does it have quizzes and exercises that help with most of my issues I listed above but I can also use it as a reminder to do stuff on a daily basis through the daily task/journey functions! If that isn’t a reason to download it, let me give you one more reason…you get to adopt a little birb (bird for those who don’t know) and you get to raise them, send them on journeys and dress them up! My birb is named Oliver! Not only that, no one’s birb is the same. They all have different likes and dislikes and you learn more about your birb as you send them on adventures! It has helped me a lot and my girlfriend and I both recently got the subscription and we are loving it even more! I promise you, Finch will help change your life and help you go in the direction you are working towards! I can definitely say it has helped me! Thank You Finch Team!!! -Kay and Oliver

Helpful and Amazing. I’m autistic and have a hard time with executive functioning in my day to day life. I also have suffered from depression and intense anxiety most my life and while routine is good for me it can be extremely hard when I’m too exhausted to have any energy to complete tasks. Finch has not only helped me carry out these tasks in a simple way but also add new things to my routine I’ve been missing. I’ve even be able to have Finch plus without any payment as a gift from the team simply because I’m unable to afford it. It still kind of shocks me how kind the creators are to give this stuff out and I know whenever I can afford it I’ll definitely purchase a subscription simply to support it. This app has been nothing but absolutely helpful to my life, I 100% recommend it no matter how much you struggle with some things it has something for everything. It has so many features and makes them simple enough you don’t procrastinate or spend too much time with the app. I also love the feature where you can make task lists for the day, it’s so easy to do and has helped get me up and do things when I had absolutely no motivation for the day.

The only journaling & self care app that I stick to. As a part of my self-destructive habits, I usually cannot keep up with any sort of self care or reflection app. I’ve tried everything and nothing lasts. This app keeps me motivated to journal and be more mindful. I love that I grow my birb with every reflection. I also like how there are some surface level, light hearted prompts to answer on days where I can’t do a deep dive. The inclusiveness of this app is amazing, from being able to change your pet and micro pet’s pronouns whenever you want to having a wide variety of correct and specific pride items available year round to dress your finch in. The monthly events are great. The responses from your birb are so cute and I love all the thought the developers put into that aspect specifically. Even if you just do the free version, you still get access to a lot of things. It’s worth the money to me monthly, but not everyone has the luxury of having the extra cash to spend. They have raffles every month to win a sponsored, full, paid version of the app from kind people (guardians) who paid ahead for someone to help offset the cost if needed-which I also LOVE. The developers really went above and beyond to make this accessible and fun for everyone.

The Best mental health app i’ve ever had. I was recommended a lot of mental health and daily task app games because i have a lot of mental illnesses that make it difficult to do normal every day tasks. All the others i’ve tried NEVER peaked my interest, except for this little bird. My Finch is so stinking cute, all of his interactions with the world fill me with serotonin because of how pure and happy they are. For the first time in an app like this, I feel actually rewarded by doing things every day so I can care for this little bird. Not only that, but the quizzes are fun and the journal entries are too. I love all the prompts for the journals, they’re as simple or as complex as you feel like doing and they’re not even required if you don’t feel like it. I also notice that if I forget something, or don’t have the energy, im not punished for it, my bird will be fine. and I love how the app is completely usable without needing to pay for everything, nothing super important is hidden behind a paywall which is an A+. And the pro version is cheap anyway. For the first time it feels like an app has developers that actually care about the people playing their mental health game. 10/10.
