Aloe Bud Reviews

I have downloaded at least 10 other self care apps, and non of them compare to this one! Most features on other self care apps require premium, and premium is quite expensive! Aloe Bud is the complete opposite, and is way more useful, too! It isn’t throwing ads at me- at all, and has only advertised once for itself when I was signing up. It is a very motivating app, that keeps me in line. The activity questions get me thinking and motivated. This apps makes sure that I am taking care of myself in every way possible! Not to mention how cute it is! I personally haven’t bought premium, but I can definitely tell that premium is worth it. Especially since it is a onetime low price. I will definitely recommend AloeBud to my friends, and you, the person reading this review! Fantastic self care app, 5/5 stars. Amazing! Love it!

I really am enjoying AloeBud and once I started using it, I could see the value in paying to unlock all the other features. Unlike a lot of other mental health apps that want you to pay monthly, once you pay then that’s it. AloeBud itself only allows a limited amount of words when you type into the log, but that is good because it forces you to get to the point! You can view a running list of daily things you accomplished and the stuff you typed into your log. The reminders feature is nice.

My only suggestion, and another reviewer mentioned this, is I’d like to be able to rename the activity buttons to make it more personal. Otherwise, this is nice app to help motivate, uplift, and just generally help you be your best mentally.

I have tried a lot of apps that said they would help with fitness and health and they haven’t worked but AloeBud helped me a lot! This helped me loose weight and drink more water because I’m very forgetful and the reminders helped a lot. Another thing AloeBud helped me with is i work a lot and I don’t have time to do self care for myself but when I found AloeBud it helped me get my work done faster because I was motivated to do it and now I have more free time to do self care! I would highly recommend AloeBud to people who are forgetful and are struggling to be motivated!

I really enjoy AloeBud! Its the least invasive self care app from the ones I’ve tried through. I have depression but also have trouble quieting my mind so i use this and a wide range of journaling and make-shift-like tally keeper apps to help me keep track of things for when I have those anxious episodes and my mind blanks on actions and over does it in stress. This one’s the best cause I can just put down all the things I need to do everyday cause sometimes I’ll just wake up and forget and it helps me remember them in a super cute, fun, and aesthetically pleasin’ way! Thanks a lot!

IT JUST CAN'T GET MUCH BETTER! it really helps with my anxiety and depression or whichyoumcallit. The sound is smoothing and I breath in while listening to it.. It makes my cry sometimes because I miss some people and charms then have been in my heart! I've also been annoyed a lot by some of my friends and even the ones I don't even like anymore, also little kids because I don't like them for some odd reason..?! Either way AloeBud HELPS - A LOT

I don’t usually write reviews for apps, but I felt like this one deserved one! The pixel art aesthetic was what first drew me in, and now I’m realizing that it’s so much more than just cute- its gentle reminders are exactly what I needed. My routines are never usually set in stone, so I LOVE how flexible AloeBud is! I would definitely recommend to anyone who struggles with finding time for self-care or just needs a little bit of sunshine in their routine!💘

Where to begin before I started using aloe bud I was going through the worst patch of depression and anxiety in my life aloe bud is so helpful! It’s always reminding me to take care of myself whether it’s to shower or write down things I love about myself aloe bud is truly always willing to help and reminding me that I am important and I need to love myself all I can say is thank you for helping me get back to being me💖

AloeBud is super cute. I love it so much but there are some suggestions. First, there are only limited activities and can be added. For example I want to rose earlier everyday but there’s no such activity. This is the thing that I want improvement the most!!! Second, users can’t edit the name of the activity. I wanted to change the name but found that I’m not able to do that. Overall it’s a great app though.

I love AloeBud and the concept of it! It also helps with giving you a sense of accomplishment for the day. A feature that I would enjoy with it is having it show you everything you have done so you kinda keep better track.

I love AloeBud, it’s a perfect tracker for me! The art is cute and is very gentle on the eyes. However, there are a few bugs. Sometimes when i press an icon, it won’t register and I have to tap it again several times, close AloeBud , or just wait a few minutes to get it to work. I have to retype some things too and it’s a little frustrating. But other than that, it’s great!

I think AloeBud is pretty good! It helped me have the most productive morning I’ve had in a long time. My only problem with it is you have to pay for custom goals, but mostly that sometimes they don’t work. I’ll click check in or finish writing a reflective one and it won’t process it. So, a few bugs but ultimately pretty good.

I enjoy the little reminders in the day but I feel like it would be better if you could create your own without getting the premium or what ever, other than that I think AloeBud does exactly what it is suppose to do.

I love AloeBud because it’s a reminder and is the reminders and AloeBud is so cute and aesthetically pleasing AloeBud is actually cute AloeBud itself inspires me to track and do the stuff and stay hydrated ugh AloeBud is just been so helpful hopefully I will start using it for exercise too

I actually like how simple it is. And it allows you to have that conscious reward while making areas that lack more easy to recognize. I especially liked the medication one, because so many people forget how crucial that is.
My only criticism is that there are a few lines that seem patronizing.

i tend to get stressed and overwhelmed very easily, and it can be difficult to take breaks or do regular self care during rough patches. aloe bud has really helped me stay motivated to take care of myself both mentally and physically! the reminders are very gentle and motivational, and i feel accomplished when i check in for simple things like keeping myself hydrated and sleeping well. you can pay for customized reminders, but even if you don’t they are very sweet and you can write ur feelings/thoughts on any activity! it is so easy to use and i love the aesthetic:)

I saw AloeBud on Pinterest and said why don’t I just try it. And when I did, I was so spirited with how well it has turned out. Definitely recommend for people who want schedules and looking for self care. 🪴

I have had AloeBud for around a year now and i don’t regret getting it at all. It is a very good app for checking in with yourself and just in general a really good self care app. If you would like to get it or just interested totally get it. 😌

I wanted more of a checklist type self-care app rather than a pushy, strict one, and this is exactly what I was looking for. It makes you feel happy that you’re taking care of yourself instead of bogging you down, which I love love love!

I just got AloeBud and I thought it was a good way to keep Track of my mental health. Because I have been getting a lot of panic and anxiety attacks recently and someone had AloeBud on their story so that’s how I found it and so far I like it

Best app ever. Reminds me everyday to do the simple things humans usually sometimes forget to do, honestly helped me a lot, it also helps you get back on track and motivates you to keep going. I recommend downloading it.

I'm a person who gets overwhelmed very easily, but my shabby mental (and physical) health requires constant mindfulness on my behalf. A lot of self-care apps I feel offer too many uh,,, 'helpful' features.
As soon as I saw the icon for AloeBud, I knew I wanted it (as cliche as that sounds). Retro/8bit themed apps, I've found, are usually more simplistic, and this one was pretty much everything I'd hoped it would be. It's very cute and calming so I don't feel stressed with all the things I need to do when I open it, and it's super easy to navigate. Like, too easy. I like that you have the option to either just check in on a task or to fill out an actual short journal entry for it.

Just one thing— I'm using this to also keep up with my medication. Since I'm very forgetful, I chose to fill out a prompt each day with how my meds effect me because it would be helpful for whenever I go to see my doctor. However, I'd love it if I could find all my journal entries for one task in one place? It's a little difficult to track how my meds have been effecting me when I have to scroll through the activities I've done every single day to get to each entry. Maybe create an option to view all your journal entries underneath the title of each task when you open it? That would really tie it all together and make it five stars for me.

I love the Aloe Bud app so much. I found the mental health resources to be helpful, though I would have liked to see Dissociative Disorders and Transgender Lifeline included. The mechanics are intuitively useful, and I appreciate the interface design/aesthetic, which has noticeablely impacted my frequency and ease of use. Please continue developing AloeBud. It’s already really great, but I’m excited for updates and improvements.

My request is an added feature, perhaps for a future update. AloeBud would be a life changer if it came with an iPhone widget. AloeBud is designed around reminders, which are most effectively utilized with the help of a widget. The accessibility of an added widget seems in tune with AloeBud ’s intent, especially if it were well made (some widgets exist for the sake of saying it exists).

Bottom line: must-have, hella cute

i never like writing reviews, especially for apps, but once aloe bud came out and i got it, i immediately wanted to write one! i’ve only had AloeBud for a few hours now since it came out, and honestly, i love it so much already! i recently just started taking medication for my anxiety and it’s been hard lately to remind myself what time to take it, but now w/ aloe bud it can remind me at a certain time AND i can track down how the medication affects my mood in anyway. not only that, but you can also write down your thoughts, remind yourself to drink water, and so much more! i’m so happy that aloe bud made AloeBud because it just made my whole self-care journey alot more easier and cuter for me, and i cannot wait to bring it up to my therapist the next time i see her! 🌷✨💞

I got AloeBud in April 2019, it is by far my favorite self care app. Looking back on things I’ve written through good and bad times has helped me keep pushing forward. It helps me recognize how much I’ve grown and how I got through times that were hard or confusing. Any time I’m feeling overwhelmed or anxious, I use AloeBud, answer its questions, and it immediately calms me down. It grounds me and gives me a whole new perspective on myself, my situation, and the world around me. I love it so much! I recommend this for anyone going through a rough time or who needs encouragement and can’t find it elsewhere. ❤️

I found Aloe on Twitter, when they were still in beta, and have been using it since near the beginning, so I might be biased. But as a person who has a tendency to always forget the importance of taking care of myself, Aloe Bud has been an incredible companion to daily life. It’s so easy, customizable, and unlike other self care apps, where it doesn’t feel like there’s any expectations or goals to meet. It’s purely for reminders, for mindfulness, and for improvement in taking care of yourself- especially for those like me who have the tendency to forget. I feel like everyone can benefit from AloeBud.

I love AloeBud, l bought the premium & I really do like it a lot! It helps me get motived & to remind me to take me meds every morning! & when I get off work I'm usually on my phone or watching TV with my grandpa, & it tells me to go to bed.
Its great to use it when in at school too, the school year is coming to a close, & this then time to start stressing! The reminder will tell you to stop & Brethe, or to take a short break! AloeBud is just very one on one you time & taking care of yourself.
I doesn't matter if you have mental illness or not, AloeBud is for any one who stresses or just needs a reminder here & there. ✨

AloeBud is so easy to use and very simple! You can set up reminders for basic needs that sometimes become a burden or just get pushed down on the list of priority or you can set up reminders for the big stuff like checking in with your friends or holding yourself accountable to go to the gym or prioritize for important projects! The reminders are clever and fun! And the graphics are so cute I want a sticker app with them to send to friends! It’s a great app for people with mental health disorders or just need to keep their self-care in check! I love it and recommend it to all of my friends!

I love AloeBud. My new years resolution was to better myself and to feel less insecure. AloeBud did just that, as it has taught me to love myself and be more appreciative of everything around me. AloeBud ’s simple and cute design, is oddly motivating and is a definite 10/10.

My only issue with AloeBud is minor bug. For example, I would log a response for a day and it wouldn’t record it. I would end up re-typing the prompt 10 times it would log my response. Quite annoying but i guess the extra 15 minutes is worth it. I’ve noticed this bug usually after I’ve have logged at least one answer.

here’s a review that’s a little different. i was a beta tester. im disabled physically and mentally and this helps me do every day stuff that a lot of ppl take for granted. i have schizophrenia and avolition so it’s often hard for me to initiate purposeful actions, imagine that depression symptom of not being able to force it except on ultra hard literally psychotic mode - the reminders really help set me in motion. i recommend the pack! it’s an investment in yourself.
i usually forgot to drink except with my meds too (was rotting my teeth with dry mouth from meds) and this fixed that. it helps me track my prn painkiller use( i am in chronic pain). it’s helped me keep on track with all of my meds. it’s helped me force myself outside or to exercise. push yourself with your goals but forgive yourself too.
i love being able to check off things i’ve done. even on bad days i feel like i accomplished something with aloe bud if i checked something off. AloeBud has legitimately improved my quality of life.
on top of that the coder is nonbinary and i love supporting my fellow lgbt folk. 🌈 last tip: don’t be constrained by activity names! try it out! thanks for reading my review :)
edit: thanks for the feature on this app!!! i’m so happy i made them happy!!!

also to ppl chiming in after the fact that you (obv) don’t need to be mentally ill, thanks, but my review was to reflect my experience and not yours. i hope you understand. :)

I’m not the type to write reviews, but AloeBud is just, amazing! I love the style that the creator(s) tried to go with! There’s just one little bug that I’ve noticed: when you try to check in with certain cards, you would have to press the check in button multiple times before it registered. It is slightly annoying that it takes over five tries to fix it, but it isn’t a deal breaker. If this is fixed, then that’s all of my issues solved and I would 100% recommended AloeBud to anyone.

AloeBud is truly amazing and has helped me a ton! i’m the girl who follows all the self care thread pages on instagram, and i myself am very fond of the self care trend, however, this introduced me to it in a whole new way. now, instead of saving threads and never looking at them, i am constantly improving the quality of my life to its full potential! the premium is a must get! if it seems like too much, remember, it’s around the price of a cheap lipstick or a cup of coffee! it’s so worth it! and a special shoutout to the developers! i hope to see more apps like this in the future 💗💕

I have another app that just helps me to keep track of my meds, but this helps me to take care of myself, even when I can barely get out of bed. It helps me to be easier on myself and others, even when I don’t have the energy. I have massive health problems that make it hard to do anything at all (and, on top of that, I just have trouble remembering to do things,) and so something like this, where there’s preset reminders, check-ins, etc. is really helpful. Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

Thank you aloe bud for being there for me when nobody else cares. Seeing those alerts makes me feel like it’s a person reaching out to me that actually cares about me even though they’re not real, but it honestly feels better than most people because I can always rely on the kind alerts to make me feel better, and real humans don’t really like me. AloeBud can help you get back on track and remind to take care of yourself.

I absolutely love this idea, and I myself and really bad at reminding myself to do certain things (especially when I get into depressive episodes). AloeBud is amazing and cute, and the only thing I would love to see is an option to set reminders in certain increments (ex every 30 minutes, or every hour). This would make it easier to remind yourself to drink a glass of water every 30 minutes, instead of setting 48 alarms. Overall, this is amazing and I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants some positive reminders.

I LOVED AloeBud - it was perfect for my mental health, reminding me to breathe and take breaks. Working at a support desk in an office without windows, it was heaven sent. But ever since I got my new iPhone (11), my reminders stopped working. Being in the IT field, I exhausted all troubleshooting until I decided to delete AloeBud and reinstall. Now, even though iTunes vouches that I paid for the premium reminders, AloeBud doesn’t know that. I have to go - time to rebuild my reminders.

Edit: I just discovered a restore purchases option underneath the list of premium options - YAY!! Increasing my rating.
