| 2024-11-12 |  | | It's an interesting concept, but feels like most other mobile games that are just a daily grind. Some activities such as the clouds or two words are frustrating when your answer doesn't match that app's, even though they are your interpretations. eg: pick the cloud that looks like _____ - and neither look like the thing, or you clearly see the image in the "wrong" cloud. Also, app started crashing recently which made me lose interest faster. Good idea though, but membership plans are too high. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | I absolutely love this game!! It's simple and soothing. I can't afford the paid version and it makes me so sad! $10 a month I'm sure is worth it, but it's not in my stretched and strained budget. Thanks for all the benefits it does bring. My little Keekerville ♥️ Wish I could build me a cabin and live there!! Thank you Hedonia...thank you Dr. Scott Eilers on youtube for sending me to this app!! ~Chris from Michigan |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | I have wrestled with depression and anxiety for 4 years, and this game has really helped me fill a gap in my treatment plan. I have started to feel better over the past few weeks as I've tried the paid version! Think of this game as physical therapy for your brain, to strengthen neural patterns for positive thinking. The point isn't to entertain you as much as it is to strengthen your brain, and it takes time to see a difference. I don't love all the minigames, but the benefit is so worth it! |
| 2024-10-23 |  | | As a therapist, I started recommending this to my clients. The first concept that the app taught me was that seeing the big picture and being creative can make a person happier. I had forgotten how to find ways to do this (e.g. the way I felt whenbzI used to watch cartoons or collect stickers as a kid). The app is helping me to remember. |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | What a terrible "game" if you do the "free track" their version of free, it states over and over that "free track has no clinical benefit". And it tries to get you to buy the game every fricking screen. I played for maybe 15 minutes and feel more stressed and anxious than before. What a crock!! |
| 2024-09-08 |  | | I love the concept of the app, as a whole. It's a great, and fairly low key game that I can easily fit in to my busy schedule. Plus it's fun to improve and see my little farm grow! However, I do think that the games are not ALWAYS accurate, since they don't take into account different people's perceptions. It's a "one answer only" type of view, when oftentimes I can find reason to disagree. I also don't like feeling as though I need to pay in order to receive full benefit and get farther faster. |
| 2024-08-30 |  | | Here's something that's actually proven to help your mental health: Spend less time on your phone and computer and more time outside and in nature. The "therapeutic games" are not that different from any other games you can find in the app store. It claims to promote flexible thinking, but if you don't sort things based on what they deem is the correct order then it's "wrong" lol. It's not different from any other mobile game that constantly asks you for your money. |
| 2024-08-27 |  | | I like the therapeutic game part, but I really don't like the whole farming sim aspect. Also asking pretty much right away for a monthly subscription vs basic which has no clinical tracking turned me off. Also some of the games your asked to think creatively and when you don't give the answers they are looking for you don't get the full points. I would be more inclined to keep using this app if you ditch the farming aspect and didn't penalize creative thinking! |
| 2024-08-23 |  | | Love it so far, will update in one week. Update: Not for me, I'd be fine paying for the app but the service is priced too high monthly without a true trial period to see all the features. I love the concept and once it's honed more it could be really great. Gameplay is a little lackluster but easily can be improved on. Please keep this going and growing, while it's not for me right now I will keep it on my radar for improvements. If there is a focus or testing group I'd be interested |
| 2024-08-21 |  | | Not very therapeutic when you're almost immediately asked to spend money monthly. Is this about therapy or about taking our money? At the very least, offer a free trial. I'll play a bit more and edit my review if I end up deleting. Two stars for now on the game play, which is not yet doing anything for me. Constant asking for money is too much for me, deleted. I may occasionally spend money on a game but not a monthly subscription to a game I just downloaded. Down to one star. |
