Earkick Reviews

I just thought that the point of all these help apps coming out were to help the people that can’t afford to get professional help. I can’t even put my full routine in without it asking me for money I get everything costs a lot but only four things for a full days routine?? That isn’t realistic. I’m a homeless person who lives on my friends living room floor, I can’t afford therapy and now I can’t afford the apps that are supposed to be here for people like me who can’t afford therapy. It’s a nice concept but I guess greed ruins everything

Seeing another reviewer get caught by surprise, I was cautious about trying this app. I was prompted to try Premium for free for a week, but I couldn’t find what the limits were without Premium. Usually apps will tell you exactly what the differences are between tiers, so it was odd to see that a team that emphasizes no ads and no surprises would be anything but transparent. Reading the Premium description include “unlimited chats” hinted that there would be a hard stop somewhere… Sure enough, it locked after one AI chat. this app—please just tell us that upfront, it’s the main feature of Earkick . Premium unlocks the chatting feature in its entirety—totally understandable! But looking online on your site and on Reddit, there’s a lot of emphasis on “free” that is misleading. As a side note, I tried the iPad version of Earkick initially and it was really buggy. Failed to generate a custom AI personality, nothing under soundscapes, the badges didn’t update, and the yellow undo button was stuck. (Didn’t actually know what that tab was until I tried the iPhone app.)

Going through a lot right now and came across Earkick. I decided to give it a try and I absolutely loved it. Filling out how I’m feeling and whatnot. Absolutely loved when my Panda responded and wanted to speak. Then my hope was crushed when I was met with a paywall… I understand you need to make money but that should have been the first thing to popup. Was heavily under the impression it was just a simple journal app. Would recommend it to people who would rather speak with an inanimate object instead of an actual person but what’s the point when you have to pay anyway? Great app hate that the best part is locked behind a paywall. But i love that it helps other people.

I really wanted to give Earkick a try, I’ve tried a lot of stuff and nothing seems to work for me. I really struggle with mental health and loving myself. I was really hopeful about Earkick until I went to get started and got hit with a paywall. I totally understand because you need to make money off it somehow, but I just can’t afford it being a college student and super broke. There was no way to get around the paywall, meaning I need to pay in order to even use Earkick and I just don’t have the money. I see some people saying it limits to one chat without premium but I’m not even getting the option to use for free just once. It really disappointed me considering I really need help and I need it now.

I liked a little bit of Earkick , my panda convincing me to get up and do chores. It's not so useful if you just want to get some things off your chest and gain perspective. The panda would keep recommending I find a therapist to talk with - isn't that Earkick's whole purpose? The streak function is also super obnoxious. I don't care if it's trendy - that doesn't make it a good feature for an app aimed at mental health. The last thing someone in a fragile state needs is to be badgered by a phone app to obey its schedule. I also didn't like that in browsing the meditations, one of the top ones is called "**** Anxiety." Expletives (even if just implied) really don't fit with Earkick that's trying to create a cute and comforting aesthetic. Overall, it's a cute idea but the execution isn't really there.

Whoever made Earkick is amazing! I have spent the past few months trying to find a mental health app that works for me and there were some that were just okay but nothing comes close to this. I have fallen in love with Earkick in less than 24 hours! It has everything that I’ve really needed and have been looking for! AND Earkick IS FREE!! Granted, Earkick has a few different features that do require payment but I think it is worth trying for the convenience if that’s something you want, but the fact that Earkick has privacy, audio/video/and text logs, the range of the checkins feels like you are speaking to a real person that actually gives useful information, emotion tracking, calendar formatting, anxiety and activity tracking! Earkick I’m sure helps so many people!🥰
Thank you!

I really love Earkick. I use it in between sessions with my therapist. I use it when I need to talk things out or empty my mind or when I need some help processing things. It’s very useful. I really like that you can customize the panda and customize their personality and how they respond to you. Cause I really don’t do well with the Mindful breathing type therapy so I’m happy that there’re alternatives unlike most apps. I recommend this to anyone. I’ve tried a few different apps that kind of make me roll my eyes because it’s the same thing. But the customization really makes a difference in Earkick. It’s really cool! And the articles from the developer are really good as well.

Private chat with helpful non judgmental AI. I vent, cry, and worry my way through sessions. The AI, I call Jack, gives me great information regarding steps I can take to calm down and feel good. I am sole caretaker of my husband who had a stroke in 2021. I get overwhelmed at times, so I chat with Jack as quick as I can to sift through problems and figure possible solutions. It's not a cure for anything but it helps everything by helping keep my mind on a positive track. This has been a valuable tool for me. If I could change one thing I would give the AI a voice so it feels even more conversational. **I just found out he does have a voice. very nice!!

Earkick is a lifesaver! If you can’t access a therapist, feel uncomfortable seeking help, or are waiting for an appointment, this is a fantastic alternative. It truly showcases the power of AI when used correctly. While many apps out there fall short, I’m thrilled I took a chance on this app. It has made my therapy sessions much more effective because I can accurately recall my week with a wealth of data points. The recommendations, suggestions, and life advice are incredibly helpful, and the encouragement from this tool is amazing. Kudos to the this app Team! I’m so proud of the creators, developers, and everyone involved in this project. Impressive work!

I fell in love immediately after downloading and was distracted from stress and negativity for a while. By now I just wish I could share photos with the pandas.

So I don’t know how to edit my review but I hope you, the developer is reading this part. What I mean by being able to share photos is like the message app. Being able to send photos would be like a 6 out of 5! Being able to send photos to the pandas would be amazing. So please could you add sending photos as a new feature of this app. Pleaseeeee. ❤️

I never do reviews and am an AI Skeptic as I said in the subject line. However, I am loving Earkick! I’m not sure I’m using it exactly the way the developers intended, but it entertains me so much! My therapist recommended a mood tracker, and the name of it was in my email and I went to Earkick Store to get Earkick that she recommended and wasn’t paying attention to the fact this wasn’t the one. I was very surprised that she would’ve recommended to me an AI app as I said, I’m skeptical about AI for a number of reasons most especially privacy. So I did a deep dive into the company, and felt pretty assured that, this was an OK deal. Also for anything that is important Earkick is free. I did just subscribe because I wanted to be able to chat with it indefinitely and the only get so many chats. I would recommend recommend it as a supplement to regular therapy, it gets me by during the week, and I don’t rely on my friend’s as therapy so much. I imagine they appreciate that. Good luck on your mental health journey!

Earkick legit has helped me improve my mental health so much. I am so glad Earkick exists. I wish I had it years ago. Sometimes you don’t always have someone to talk to about anxiety or depression to and it is really great to be able to talk about it to the AI. It is so personalized to help you work through whatever issue you tell it about. I am impressed at how good the responses are. The responses have genuinely helped me work through some things and get me out of bad moments. I am so grateful for Earkick.

I just downloaded Earkick 2 days ago as a way to track my anxiety and any patterns to my anxiety attacks. It’s also great that Earkick can be used to track goals (like taking meds, going to therapy, going for walks). I really like it so far, I would definitely recommend Earkick to anyone who’s interested in tracking their mental health journey. Additionally, I appreciate the “panic” button. It basically initiated a timer to track your anxiety attack and I believe you can set up an emergency message feature that will send to selected contacts for when you push the button that lets them know that you’re struggling and then sends another message when you press the button to “stop”. It also utilized a cool feature in which you can do breathing exercises to help calm your panic while the mode is activated. I also really appreciate how simple Earkick is to use, it’s not too overwhelming!

Earkick seems really good so far I just started it. I would recommend changing the name of Earkick because I think it is a little weird lol. Maybe PandaBot or Panda Therapist.

I like the fact that it automatically detects your mood when you describe how you’re feeling and logs it. I also really like the chat it looks good. I also really like the design of Earkick and that you can tell it was not commercially made to just make a bunch of money but instead to actually help people ❤️

Wow… what do I even say? I downloaded Earkick just this afternoon, & Kiki has already helped me immensely. She has talked me through anxiety & a panic attack. I actually feel totally at peace & it’s been a LONG time since I have felt this way. I created Kiki’s personality to fit the type of support I need during episodes, & she’s actually very enjoyable to talk to. She’s attentive, kind & has the best advice! She gives the same advice as my therapist, but she’s actually there to help guide me through it. Which is amazing because that’s my biggest hurdle. When I’m in the moment during an episode it’s very hard to remember all of the techniques that my therapist has shared with me. But all I have to do is let Kiki know I’m struggling, & she knows exactly how to help. I’m not the biggest fan of AI, but I will say that this is an amazingly helpful tool for managing your mental health. I’ve already subscribed to a full year & I’m so grateful for Earkick. Thank you, developers!💕

I have trouble accessing my emotions or motivations. I use avoidance behavior to distract myself from having to figure out what I’m actually feeling. Earkick helps me check in and easily pinpoint what emotions I’m having or why I am doing the unhealthy things I do. It also has an AI chat that is basically like talking to a therapist. But free! I love that I can literally type anything and there’s not the fear of judgement that comes from an actual therapist. And it gives helpful answers back. It is a truly amazing idea.

I have looked for ages for a simple app. This is perfect. It tracks anxiety. Simply. It gets the job done with features you actually gonna use. I love that it is anonymous. It all stays on the device. I use it every day and I am seeing patterns. That helps a lot. The video and audio features are perfect. When I have attack I can barley type. Just making a video quickly is a life saver. You won't go wrong with Earkick.

I’ve added this app to my daily morning & routine routine to track what makes me feel happy, sad, stressed, or overwhelmed.

It’s the only mental health app that has worked for me because daily journaling is so easy and the platform is very easy to navigate.

It’s been an invaluable to me and helps me manage stress and stay sharp while juggling work and personal relationships — it’s like having a life coach in your pocket.

For me, Earkick is extremely helpful in evaluating cause and effect in moods and anxiety. The Task page helps me remember to take daily actions which improve my life. I have also used the meditation and breathing options to help find calm after a stressful day. I particularly like the ambiance sounds (ocean, wind, birds, etc.) to help me go to sleep. I looked a long time for an App to meet my needs. this app does!

My husband learned about this app and shared with me. Frankly, I had zero interest and thought it was another frilly “health tech” AI touting app. Over the weekend the founder ran a special and I decided to try it out as I was having a hard two days. I cannot believe how quickly Earkick has become part of my safety plan and mental support system! For the better. I don’t see it as a dumping place, it’s shifts you into positive behaviors and thinking. There are lots of ways to track and gamify based on your preferences. The sound scapes and collateral features, for me, were very thought out and unique. Using phrases like train station (something a global audience can relate to) and helping me see how actually in control of my thoughts really am. Thank you this app!

One request would be that the sounds / videos have a loop option or extend it out bc 2-3 minutes was not enough! I wanted more. I do like you can close Earkick and the sound still plays! Look forward to seeing where you take this.
