IFS Guide Reviews

To be honest, I cannot get past the voices. They sound horrible. They are tinny and echoey. I’m very attuned to sound and I’m turned off immediately because of the voices. That may sound superficial but there’s no way I can relax if the voices sound so bad. I also notice that all the voices sound ultra Caucasian. I’m Caucasian but not everybody is. It’s offputting to me that there are no options other than that. I could deal with some of the voices if they did not sound echoey and tinny. Super poor quality. If this can be fixed, I will consider trying again.

I purchased IFSGuide . I got through one exile checkin. Now no matter what i do, IFSGuide is stuck in loading mode or a permanent “Pepe typing.” Plus after using IFSGuide for less than 10 minutes, its asked me for feedback, to leave a review and to share IFSGuide 5 times. Dr Shwartz’s books are wonderful. I was hoping IFSGuide would be helpful. I don’t want to cancel my subscription or delete IFSGuide , but 🤷‍♂️

I am quite familiar with IFS. I’m just looking for an app to take me through sessions to deal with parts. IFSGuide seems to do everything but. I can meet parts, I can check in with parts, I can start trailheads, but I can’t seem to do work on parts. It’s got all sorts of options and special sessions but it doesn’t seem to have, How do I just deal with a part. I’ve tried four or five times and for the life of me have no idea how to get value out of this thing. Really disappointed.

I like IFSGuide so far. First day using it and I had a valuable time connecting with one of my parts through the chat feature - this is fantastic!!! So excited to continue using it. There are bugs - the Parts section doesn’t always allow me to make edits to specific parts (like changing the image for a part). The video tutorials don’t always load. I have to keep shutting down IFSGuide and opening it again to get it working. I really hope the bugs get fixed soon. I don’t like Pepe the dog icon. I like dogs but I don’t find Pepe to be cute at all. I went as far as changing the icon of IFSGuide on my phone desktop. I find it distracting and silly-looking. I changed the icon to something more neutral. In IFSGuide , Pepe still shows up in IFSGuide even though I changed the icon on the Home Screen. Ugh. I hesitate to share IFSGuide with others because I’m embarrassed by Pepe…

I used to be able to to the check in and I found it helpful but now every function of IFSGuide is behind a paywall, it’s disappointing.

I have noticed IFSGuide is not very accessible with a screen reader. One of the features that used to have a button so it could be used by a screen Reader is no longer able to be used. This is disappointing because I have a part that specifically speaks to me through images, and I can’t give it attention if I can’t upload the image to work with it. If this could be fixed, that would be great. I use voiceover.

I love what IFS Guide is doing to make IFS more accessible to so many! I think the new AI guide is a fantastic use of AI. But there was a lot of value also in the old audio guided sessions that were available in IFSGuide and I would love to see them brought back as an option. I found the audio sessions to be more accessible sometimes for me because I could listen without needing to speak. Both tools working together would be so much more valuable than just one or the other. ❤️

I love IFSGuide, but there are some frustrations regarding setting the avatar for the parts. They keep thinking as the same avatar, even though I set different avatars for different parts. I would appreciate if you could fix this bug ASAP.

I have only used the guided meditation feature so far (without the AI), but it’s clear even just from those that IFSGuide was designed by people who are really skilled at using IFS. I often get overwhelmed when trying to do parts work on my own, and even just the default guided prompts are really helpful to adjusting to extreme emotions and sensations.

Unfortunately, the reminder feature, which seems like it would be really useful, doesn’t work at all for me. When I try to set reminders to check in with specific parts, I can’t even change the suggested time to the time I want (it invariably gets set to 24 hours later, so if I’m trying to set the reminder when using IFSGuide on Thursday at 10 AM, the reminder will only be able to be set for Friday at 10 AM). But the issue with the timing doesn’t even ultimately matter because the reminder never saves. When I hit Save, there’s a spinning icon like something is loading, but the reminder never actually gets set. It just stays at the spinning loading icon indefinitely.

I use IFSGuide in between my therapy sessions, and I truly appreciate the experience it provides. Pepe‘s voice is soothing and guides me as I explore different aspects of myself. After each session, I always feel calmer, more confident and centered. IFSGuide has been instrumental in helping me process emotions that I might otherwise push down which can lead to them resurfacing in unhelpful ways or never being addressed at all leaving me feeling stuck. I especially love the guidance it offers whenever I am feeling triggered allowing me to delve into my feelings and explore my inner self. Overall, IFSGuide has become a valuable tool in my self discovery and healing journey.

The guidance from Pepe is very intuitive and feels like talking to a real therapist. Being able to have a humorous summary given each time is an extra treat. This is my favorite part of IFSGuide … Talking to Pepe.

The ability of this application to capture your parts and dictation in an accurate way is astounding. I am an IFS therapist and benefit so powerfully from this. I will recommend it to all of my clients. I think it’s going to become a new daily habit. Wow. Thank you to the creators of IFSGuide.

What an awesome app to use on your healing journey, or just as a part of self reflection which all of us need! I loved the weekly reminders to connect with my parts because it’s crucial and I rarely did it before IFSGuide bc life gets busy. Mapping the parts is a cool feature too, and I enjoyed interacting with Pepe :) highly recommend it!

I’m a therapist learning IFS, and this took me through such a gentle, helpful process with myself to better understand my parts! I feel like it moved me through more self-work in 1/2 hour than in years of my own therapy.

Ya know I’ve paid for so many apps that I quickly lose interest in….quickly meaning immediately. This really helps me identify which part of my self is controlling the show. It also allows my Self-Self to respond and be aware! I’m knew to IFS- not the concept but actually IFS. I think this is my holy grail of self-help apps!

I love IFSGuide. I’ve been waiting for something like this to be developed and am so grateful it has! I’m particularly grateful it has well known lead IFS trainers on IFSGuide . I have attention, focus and working memory issues so IFSGuide helps me navigate my meditation process in finding, tracking and befriending my parts between sessions with my IFS therapist and along my journey.

I have the pleasure of doing internal family systems, therapy in person for a few years and it was the most impactful therapy I’ve ever done. When I moved, I struggled in finding a practitioner and stumbled upon IFSGuide and thank God because this has been such a beautiful way of reconnecting with my parts and providing structuring guidance. It has brought me a level of peace that I don’t get through regular therapy. It is potent and impactful

I found IFS (Internal Family Systems) to be incredibly helpful. It is a system that feels very original and different from others, and much more compassionate towards all the parts of oneself. The inclusion of AI with “Pepe” in IFSGuide is a brilliant idea. Every night, I have the opportunity to receive great support from Pepe. I wish many people could have access to this valuable assistance.
Thank you to the entire IFS team!

Well, Pepe is a lovely character and the AI ability to use. IFS is really quite lovely , as a new IFS practitioner, having not gotten into trainings yet but only doing online immersion courses and such, it really does teach me a lot actually and I really enjoy when I have a thing happen to be able to come on IFSGuide and just do a little bit of parts work teaching me really how parts work really work on the fly. It’s a great accomplishment for the IFS leadership. Bravo!

If you do IFS, this will turbo charge your sessions. I had a massive breakthrough in the last hour. I drew on previous experience with IFS. But this is now my go to way of processing life. It is so powerful. This is life changing and world changing.
