I’m in love with this app.
So I have issues with focusing and problems with anxiety and ADHD. I also haven’t really seen a lot of reviews about the free version. It has a reasonable amount of stuff to do without buying the full version. I would still recommend buying the full version (although I can’t since I’m a little broke right now from buying a ukulele). It’s a really good app and I’d recommend this to anyone struggling with self esteem and anxiety. I would also suggest watching a tutorial of where everything is because I had a hard time finding everything when I first downloaded it. So don’t worry about not being able to do a lot if you don’t buy the full version since there’s still a bunch you can do even if you don’t have the full version unlocked. Hope this helps someone who’s worried about having to spend money. The app is really good though and when I’m better with money I’ll for sure buy the full version bit by bit.

Relaxing and Happy game.
I just stumbled upon this game at first and decided to try it out. Happy I did. It’s guided meditations have such a soothing voice, and the animal character is so adorable and growing the bond somehow bring lots of joy to me just seeing them start to trust me over time. The games are genuinely entertaining and I have ADHD so that something! It’s motivated me to start trying again, I know it sounds cringey in a way but I blocked bad friends, I took care of myself, I ate, I cleaned a bit of my room, and I went to bed before 2am when I usually fall sleep at 6am due to my anxiety. Strangely this game has helped me a lot though I have much more to work on, it’s helping somehow. So if your considering this game as someone with depression, anxiety, ptsd, and adhd I suggest it for you 100% No matter what your going through!! And if a developer is reading this, great game I love it! Sorry for the long message and have a good day everyone! 🌸

This App Is Just What I Needed
As someone who struggles with self care and prioritizing mental health, I found this makes it much more fun and easier. I love the little notes of encouragement; for example, one of my favorites is “You are strong and validated.” This app really focuses on getting you to focus on yourself. It starts out with this app being very anxious and untrusting of you. That is, until you do a self care task which usually involves a form of meditation. They have different categories and time lengths so you have options. I like to do some of them at night when I’m feeling especially anxious and can’t sleep. You can buy treats and feed this app, which increases your bond with him. You can also pet him. You can play mini games with him or have him explore. I really enjoy the gratitude journal, because it helps me really think about the good things in my life. I love the simplicity of the art. It’s beautiful, but not overwhelming. I also love the symbolism. After interacting with this app a couple times, I couldn’t help but feel he was a representation of myself, mainly because I could not make this app calm and happy unless I was doing that for myself first. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who wants to improve their mental health and learn to prioritize themselves in order to become a healthier, happier person. Please support this app’s very thoughtful creators and download it!
