Youper for Android

This was the worst Mis lead situation of my life! Thought there was thereapy sessions and after paying the fee it was not what it was for! Will not be doing this! Don’t do it!

Ok app, only coaching was available in my area and that felt really light. Went to cancel, was required to go off app and on a browser. Requested my cancelation then was taken to a new screen to submit a customer service form and wait for a reply… I hate apps that make paying and signing up one click process but make you jump through hoops to cancel. It goes beyond a pet peeve. Wouldn’t recommend.

I downloaded this app a long time ago. At the time, it was completely free and it felt too good to be true. It was so useful for documenting my feelings whenever I needed and I was so appreciative of the service since my family can’t afford therapy as our insurance doesn’t cover it. Then the pandemic hit and I stopped using it because I was too mentally exhausted to do anything, including taking care of myself. I got a therapist for a while and I forgot about Youper. I can’t afford my therapist anymore and I was fine with that until today I wanted to do some journaling and opened Youper to find that all the services I loved are now blocked by a paywall. Granted, $44.99 a year (or whatever it is) is fairly reasonable for the service, but as a broke college kid, I can’t make that kind of investment. I wouldn’t be complaining if I could at least journal for free, but I can’t even do that. The most basic of features aren’t available unless you pay, making the app useless for me. There’s no free functionality. I understand a free app isn’t profitable, but I’d totally watch some ads or whatever if that’d let me simply write down my thoughts. The app was 5 stars before, and I’m disappointed in how it let me down.

Don’t update your app! Without warning everything becomes locked and has to be paid. No more free version, not even the basic one. In faq it says if you are already user you can use it free but if you upgrade, then you have to start paying. I was using app for a long time and unfortunately now updated my app and can’t use it anymore. Too bad there is not even basic free version. It was a good app.

*The entire program completely changed. You have to pay for everything, and no bot anymore. Thanks for those depressed, just making them more depressed. I do not recommend this app anymore.* I tried this app to give me some CBT support. I have a range of issues, and was surprised of how much this covers. This isn’t like reading a book, or doing a worksheet. It’s interacting with your responses to make you think in a positive way. I’ve only just started, but I totally helped me with two situations already! This app is a real life, relationship, saver. I definitely recommend to anyone with anxieties, depressions, black and white thinking, etc.
