MellowFlow - Focus for ADHD

I got this app because I struggle to care about keeping things tidy around the house and my husband really prefers things to be tidy. Before you go hating on him he’s very reasonable and doesn’t usually make a big deal out of it. But the fact is it’s one way I can show him love and if something I’ve wanted to work on. Plus, it is nice when things are tidy. I just always have reasons to put off cleaning up because I feel like I can do more important things with my time. Not being lazy – I’m doing other important tasks. So that’s the backstory. I saw this app and read the reviews and people were saying things like on the first day. It told me to put away three things in my line of sight and I did and that was it. I thought perfect. This is exactly what I need to create good habits about cleaning up. But when I took the quiz, apparently the app felt that what I needed was mental processing about how to not procrastinate. It is true that not cleaning up as a form of procrastination At first, the lessons were helpful and they did in fact help me set aside my excuses for not putting things away when I was able to. But never once has it told me to put things away. It just keeps asking me to consider a task. I’ve procrastinated on an entire day lessons to it. It feels redundant at this point. I think I will finish out my month, which is over in a few few days and then cancel.

Ive been in and out of therapy for 30+ years. This is the first time ive accepted depression as a diagnosis. I have a feeling of heaviness to do anything all the time. My shoulders and neck hurt. So far none of the readings are really making me feel lighter in any way. Theres nothing i havent heard before. I do like the limit to the sessions. It keeps me from forgetting and feeling like im failing. I hope the quizzes and exercises get better. I already meditate and journal.

I had this app for about six months or so. I tried to follow the lessons, etc. but first of all the font is so incredibly tiny even when you select “large” font it doesn’t help at all. I’m not old by any means and I had the hardest time reading any of the instructions or any of the lessons. Secondly, a lot of it felt incredibly repetitious, which I know some repetition is necessary in order to truly learn something, but a lot of them just seem to be generic repetitive instructions. The worst and scammiest part about this whole situation was canceling. I was paying a ridiculous amount of money to the tune of $131 a quarter after a $65 trial month. This is an outrageous amount of money for any app and even the apps I used the most and rely on the most might be $100 a year not a quarter. When I tried to cancel, that’s when they really tried to discount down to save my subscription got all the way down I think to $65 which was the initial charge…and that absolutely did it for me. Canceling was the best decision I’ve ever made.
