Contact Finch Support

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.

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!

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 :)
