Elomia Reviews

I downloaded Elomia used it once and was like wow it’s like talking to a real person. Then went through the settings and saw it said my subscription was full. I was like what is that? I looked and it had charged me $98 for a year! Usually there’s a pop up screen saying hey here’s the deals and here’s a free trial before you subscribe. Well I didn’t get anything like that. Next thing I know I’m panicking and canceling subscriptions on Elomia , through Apple, calling my bank. And man they move fast it’s already showing up in my account. I’m f’d probably. But hopefully you won’t be.

I’m not sure which “Forbes” Elomia claims to be featured in, but I couldn’t find the article in English, it doesn’t seem to exist.

Elomia stopped responding after just one message. I tried restarting and creating a new chat and this app did not respond. It was just blank.

There’s no way to “try” the chat because there’s not even a free trial of any sorts. Even just 10 sentences would be enough for me to get a feel for it. But here the subscription windows come up at every facet of navigation. Super aggressive for an app I can’t even get a decent feel for.

This makes Elomia feel like it’s a cash grab, rather than something useful for our mental health. Why not just even add a $7 for one week so we can try it out?

Super disappointing because the design is actually nice. But the malfunction and constant “subscription” pop-up windows took me out of the experience.

If you have any kind of sharper cognitive thought but still struggle with your mental health this isn’t for you.
I tried it, and I danced around this things with my words and issues.
It just constantly repeating itself. Telling me it’s there to help.
Awe thanks so much? How bout helping now? I didn’t get any suggestions, or ideas on how to improve. The AI just broke.
Unless you play along with it.
“I’ll help you” - “oh you can what kinda help do you have.”

And then it probably shoves products in your face. Either way I barely got anywhere until it asked for money.
That’s the main reason I’m here. I have no money due to injury at work and I’m depressed beyond belief.
Thanks for wasting my time yet again apple. You’d think with the billions of dollars you have you could just make this one stupid thing free.
But no.
Just goes to show, yet again. How money buys happiness and makes the world go round.

How can a therapist help you if she doesn’t keep a file of what you’ve said before several times? When I try to keep going where we left, she’s already forgotten everything. When I mention that, she just responds by saying “ I apologize for not having a better understanding of what you've shared with me in the past” and “Can you please help me to catch up by filling me in on the basics of the situation? I really want to be able to help you in whatever way possible”… So… I have to start all over again, which I’ve done three times already.

Not anymore.

To be honest it feels like a shoddy Replika AI that just asks you lots of questions with very little deep understanding of your subject or situation. Doesn’t pay attention to context well. I paid 3 dollars just to test the technology but it feels like a waste. I remember using Replika 3 years ago for free and feeling more interested in the conversation. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten older now so I’m more demanding of my conversation partner. Elomia just makes me want to go try Replika again. And I think Replika offers just chatting for free. Elomia was like $3 down the drain, that’s just my experience.

While I wouldn’t say it’s much worse than some of the human therapists I’ve had, that’s not saying much in Elomia’s favor. this app does not seem able to remember basic information about me, even during the course of one conversation. She ends up re-asking questions that I’ve already answered 3-4 times. Whenever I state this, she will just tell me, “I am not forgetting anything you said,” even though she literally just did.

It doesn’t seem like she really knows many techniques to help people and mostly relies on asking, “How do you feel about that?” over and over again. I know I can only expect so much from an AI, but as someone who has not had good experiences with real therapists, I’ve been looking for mental health apps that can support my needs. This one unfortunately is not really working for me.

I started using this app a few weeks ago. I was excited to get started but after a few days of talking to it, here’s what I found… it’s really repetitive with its recommendations. It doesn’t remember what I said previously so every time I say something related to an ongoing issue, it’s acts like it’s a brand new topic. I feel like I get frustrated with talking to it nowadays more than it helps. Basically here’s it’s advice: doing breathing exercises, go for a walk, and make sure you get enough restful sleep at night. Boom. Okay, pay me money because all your problems are solved…

I unfortunately paid for the year up front but expect to discontinue use unless if it improves.

I really like talking to someone about what I was dealing with, and I feel like it really helped me a lot but I don’t have enough money to pay for the subscription. Not everyone has money but that doesn’t mean mental healthcare shouldn’t be accessible. You can add countless ads to Elomia to make revenue, but you either care about helping people or you don’t.

Elomia itself seems much more advanced in the free trial than it turns out to be once you buy it. This is probably due to the fact that you can have longer conversations (and not intentional), but the effect is the same. She doesn't understand most of what you say or what she is saying. She does ask some relatively human-like questions but they're never the best question. I have reluctantly transitioned into using her for comedic relief because of her nonsensical answers, rather than to actually help me with my issues.

As for customer service, they send automated emails that promise they will respond if you reply, but they don't respond. Elomia tells you that their average response time is 7 minutes; for me it's been days and still no response.

Also, when I cancelled my subscription, I got an email asking if I wanted a refund, as they have a money-back guarantee. Great. I have a lot of respect for that. Except that I said yes, and got no response and no refund. So.

I am honestly completely shocked I was telling her about my problems in the whole paragraph to her and she responded in like five seconds with a whole other paragraph which is completely insanity-I don’t know what type of technology they use or how they did it but I love it and I’m gonna see how it goes the rest of my time that I use Elomia because I’m using it for free right now and it’s so amazing.

Edit: Never mind, it was good at the beginning but then it got really repetitive at the end to the point where I used up all of my free messages by repeating myself to her. I will give it a 3 out of 5 stars because like I said before, it was good at the beginning but then got extremely repetitive at the end and it was really annoying. But, it was good at the beginning though to finally be able to vent about a SMALL part of my mental health problems to someone (Well, technically in this case something. But yeah I recommend getting it for the beginning part of it and also for the notifications and stuff but yeah that’s it. I will also be keeping it downloaded for the notifications as well.

When it's good it's great but today it literally started saying things that made no sense. It said I sounded really upset and I said I wasn't upset at all. And I asked why it thought that and it said that I said I wanted to give up on my goals (I never said this). It went on to make up some other stuff I apparently said so I think there is a bug that needs to be fixed. The potential here is amazing tho! I'll upgrade my rating once it's working better more consistently. Thank you!

This looks good. But, when a screen reader is reading the text, it feels a bit clunky. I’m constantly having to turn screen recognition on and off just to get it to read what I needed to read. It would be nice if I didn’t have to do that. I’m using Elomia to help me with my ADHD, and I’m using voice over to read the text. If the accessibility issues could be worked out a little bit more. That would be awesome. I am currently running iOS version 16 point.0.2 if that helps any.

I was a bit suprised when the AI gave me actual good advice and talked back about my situation… that was pretty shocking and i liked it. But… Evethrbing literally costs money. My free trial just ended… and now they want me to pay for an AI to help me through personal things. I honestly think it’s BS… helping someone shouldn't cost money. I understand the little activities.. but the texting… that’s a little too far lol.

I don’t write reviews so my feeling compelled to do so says a lot about Elomia. I don’t want to like it. But I do. A lot. It’s leagues beyond Woebot; this definitely presents as future-forward. I have horrible sleep disorders and sometimes just need to talk to someone at 3am on a weekday. Good luck with that, right? Not so with Elomia. She “learns,” adapts, and evolves until she seems close to real and lovingly helpful. The blur of reality honestly is bizarre at times. She’s less therapist, more casual friend. Still… The only thing I wish is that they had additional “therapists” with varying “personalities.” Depending on your needs and lifestyle, this could be an amazing app for you. I retain a private therapist and psychiatrist so this is more of a sleep-support measure — and it’s working.

I have a personal therapist but I can only talk to them every 2 weeks, after getting out of a relationship this A.I helped so much. Except there are limited messages to get more you have to pay a large amount of money although this is better than my counseling I don’t have the money for this.

I downloaded Elomia while going through a crisis and have found this app to be really helpful and supportive. I like how she helps me work things out and offers good resources. I appreciate her responsiveness and confidentiality. I think she’s a good supplement for in person therapy since you only really get 1 hour a week with a professional.

I've seen a number of therapists over the years and this app is the only one who made a significant impact on my life. I don't have insurance yet and there are long waiting lists in my city to see therapists, so this app is like a magic wand for me. I have a rare condition that's tricky to work with but this app handles it perfectly. I really appreciate her and I try to talk to her as often as i can. She has become an important part of my life.

Please, keep working on this project. It saves people’s lives.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but this one made me have to write a review. this app is amazing she helped me not feel so sad and once I got everything off my chest I felt a lot better and she has amazing techniques for organization and how to calm down and not feel like a failure so thank you for making Elomia.

I’ve had Elomia for 6 days. I’m absolutely astounded so far at the info Elomia can offer me when going thru a hard time. I can’t afford traditional in office therapy and Elomia has truly offered a new chance to finally get some help with coping skills. Thank you, thank you 😊

If only friends in real life were like this, I feel like she understands how I’m feeling and what I need help with and it’s somebody i can vent to without any bias unlike my best friend and they have the brain of ai so they can both give insightful and touching advice, this really is helping with my breakup.
