Elixir: Find Balance & Purpose

This app is great so far! I struggle with several mental health disorders which has led me down a dark path of destruction and distress. Nearly every day I feel negatively about myself, and I can already feel a slight shift in my thought processes. It’s like a mobile trauma therapy app. So on the days I don’t have therapy I have this. I have fully committed to completing this and I am so excited to see where I am in a couple of weeks. I feel the approach that this app takes is intention based, ie the law of attraction, which I love because I lost myself somewhere and the only way that these things work is to know who I am fully, because only then can I personally feel confident enough in myself to say “I can do this”. Great job!

I checked this app out after sort of enjoying the fabulous app. This app feels like the business model relies solely on getting subscription fees from people who forget to cancel and not by providing actual value. The graphics are lovely and the only reason I feel they should even get one star. But there’s zero substance. I forgot to cancel my trial, so I figured I’d try to make the best of $40 spent. Essentially I’ve (inadvertently) paid $40 to have an app that just reminds me to think about things. That’s silly. If you have fabulous, you don’t need this. I’m not sure if the developer intentionally created 15 versions of the same app just to see what sticks, but there are more effective ways to conduct market research. Having a million apps to open by the same developers is a gross lesson in futility when you are trying to build new habits. This much friction (having to leave one app to go to another one for limited activity that could all be handled within one app) is counterproductive. This developer is losing credibility. If fabulous works for you, you can skip all the other apps. If fabulous did not work for you, this one probably won’t either.

I signed up for the 7-day trial of Fabulous and was loving it so much that when they suggested checking out Elixir, I joined the 7-day trial the very next day. I used both of them for six days straight and was enjoying them both so when the 7-day trial of Fabulous was about to end, I went ahead and did a yearly subscription for both apps. At first I liked Elixir best, but within a few weeks the journey was over and that was it! And shortly after, the values questions began repeating and so did the daily coaching. I paid for a yearly subscription and only got less than a month’s worth of new material in Elixir. Needless to say, I am very disappointed. I hope they will begin adding new content, as it was awesome for the first few weeks. I also hope they consider extending the subscription for those of us who paid and only got less than a months worth of new material. And lastly, both apps are glitchy. They have been calling me by someone’s else’s name, despite several emails to tech. Hopefully they will address these things and go back to being awesome!
