Feeling Great

I don’t usually write reviews, but Feeling Great absolutely deserves a solid 5.0, not a 4.5. Seeing anything less honestly made me sad… because this app is the product of a mind powerful enough to bring peace back to the human psyche. A mind that uses its brilliance for good, with humility, and shares decades of therapeutic wisdom with the world. If you want to get the most out of this app, it really helps to have some background in CBT. If you don’t, seeing your true reflection in the emotional mirror might feel uncomfortable… even frustrating. But that discomfort is exactly where growth begins. Don’t judge the app… see it as your teacher. I’ve read all of Dr. Burns’s books and worked with a CBT-based therapist for seven years. I’ve finally reached that emotional maturity and inner peace I never thought possible. My therapy is coming to an end, yet this app keeps me grounded… it helps me process emotions daily, with clarity and self-compassion. Would I love to have a single session with Dr. Burns himself? Absolutely. But I deeply respect that he’s dedicating his life to sharing his legacy with us instead. And here’s the magical part: in the app’s training modules, you actually get to hear his voice. It’s an incredible experience… almost like having a real session with him. This isn’t just an app… it’s a life-changing companion for anyone who’s ready to grow.

I have used this app to save me from anxiety many times. And it has helped me tremendously. However, I wish they could add some features that makes the app cumbersome. 1. There needs to be a back button or a way to edit previous responses. I’ve accidentally clicked countless times and wished I could redo it. 2. For the distortions list, I wish the area I responded in could be easily toggled back and forth from the distortion list. For example, I want to talk about my respond to “All or Nothing Thinking “ by looking at the prompt. But I have to scroll to the top to where the distortion lists begins and then scroll all the way to the bottom to respond to the prompt. Rinse and repeat. I also need to remember what the AI message was. Otherwise, solid app. It was worth the money to feel better. Dr. Burns is amazing and his Team CBT really does work. I am proof. I was cynical about this app but I am a believer.

Suggest some more time in beta. Good potential but not there yet. It accurately summarized what I wrote, but the responses it gave for the cbt work were not related in any way to what I wrote. It went from deeply insightful human-seeming interlocutor, to very basic and inaccurate chat bot. It was jarring and given the context, weird and upsetting. Please test this more, it was a surprisingly unpleasant experience.————Response to developer:Thanks for your response. I would be happy to try this again and share screenshots (which I did not take while I thought I was engaging in a functional cbt app) but this app is no longer fully free. I think you need to provide the app for 100% free until the bot can accurately work with users past the point of reflecting what they would like to work on. Right now, it failed for me and apparently a few others to do the difficult part: help challenge potentially inaccurate thoughts. Some will (and have) found the experience of sharing difficult thoughts and feelings, only to be met with the chat bot equivalent of “and how did that make you feel?” to be disturbing and possibly harmful. I know this is not what you intend. Therefore, please do not to call this version a public beta in response to feedback. Betas are labeled as such up front, and they warn users glitches are still being worked out. And there should be no cost past a certain usage point to testers. I believe this would be the ethical move on your part. With this change, I would consider spending my time to help you finish training your AI.Thank you.
