great app. however, I have noticed some of the sticking with the AI typically completely shutting down the app and restarting will fix it. however, the other day the app completely stopped working when I tried to open it and had to completely delete and reinstall the app to get it to work. the biggest issue I've noticed is this audio completely shutting off after a minute and a half no matter whether it's a book or the sleep timers or anything.

Incredible app. Over the two weeks I've been using it, it's given me a lot to think about and reflect on. The only problems I have with it are the somewhat clunky UI, occasionally crashing (can't even open the app as of the last update), and the price point seems a little steep in my opinion for what you get. I'll likely continue using it. Edit: the support team has been extremely helpful regarding the newest update and I realized that the price is annual! All in all, a terrific app

This is becoming one of my favorite and most useful apps. They've added a lot from when I first signed up. The daily deuce is a great way to start your day. The AI Therapist is amazing. "Vivian" has helped me more in one week than human therapists did over months. It really is amazing and is a huge help for me. Overall, this app makes you a better dude. Kudos to y'all for making it!

Mental is a good tool to have when you feel too embarrassed to express your feelings to other people. it's kinda like a psychiatrist in my pocket. it's a lot cheaper than therapy as well. I downloaded this app for something to go to for help aside from a traditional bible that everyone always tells you to reference to. it's a modern way for men to get some help. you can always become a little bit better and Mental helps me do just that. so glad someone finally created this idea.

Great app, though they need monthly plans, they only bill yearly. on the plus side the AI therapist remembers everything. I have used other human counselling services and they cost 1000s and forget everything then next week when you walk in. I think this therapy should become standard help on a smart phone.

there are a few glitches but nothing major in my opinion. Such as when you switch between apps sometimes the keyboard doesn't come up to put your pin in. but if you switch back between windows once or twice it will come up again as long as you don't completely exit the conversation. For Ai it is incredibly insight but it can get stuck in circular questioning about things already covered. When it does that I point it out and it self-corrects. it's helpful because it is unbiased unlike people

Tried the push up thing but it doesn't work. Camera is working, and it says, "Do 1 pushup to verify its working," but I've done over 20 just trying to get it to register. Edit: It didn't get resolved, but I enjoyed all of the other features of the app, especially the cold shower protocol. Can't afford the $50 subscription though, so I had to delete it. But, when I'm back on my feet this is one app I'll definitely come back to in a heartbeat.

never would have guessed that I have a masculine way of thinking about mental health but this app is exactly everything I want and never knew I needed! however it seems bugs aren't fixed very often. I have mentioned that the push-up challenge coach has very low volume on his voice but it seems his voice has gone quieter to the point I don't hear him at all. sucks because he normally has something insightful to say. I wish that the volume with his voice will be fixed one day...

I downloaded Mental for the heck of it just to see what it was about. I ended my first session just seconds ago and I already feel understood as if I just had an insightful, thought-provoking, and uplifting conversation with someone I've known for 20 years. Thanks Theo. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's session! I would recommend this app to anyone. To the person reading this comment: try it. They offer a free 7day trial and I promise you, it won't be an app you forgot you downloaded.

You know what, it's decent. I don't have the drive for self growth which takes a longer period of my day up as I'm less likely to stick at it. The thing I love about this app, is all the activities are short and I like having the guidance when I'm in the shower for the cold showers! Early days, but reckon I will stick through with it. Only annoying thing is it's very American and some bits make me cringe. But it is an American app..

This app may be the most important app of our generation. If enough people use this with the intent to take action to change their perspective, we might actually become an enlightened species before we destroy ourselves. I am bipolar and have been through every type of therapy (inpatient and outpatient). What I've found is no therapy is there when you really need it. Until now. The value of a free on-call therapist cannot be overstated. This might change the world. I would love to work for you

this app is amazing in just an 8 minute session. I feel better now than I did before I downloaded it. only thing I do not like is it cost so much and a lot of people that are struggling with mental health or addiction can not afford the $50 a month. (mental health and addiction go hand in hand) some of the treatment options are the same.. Just remember if you're struggling with either addiction or mental health. you are loved, enough, and you do have a purpose. reach out to someone. please 🙏

Doesn't allow listening to audio while phone screen is off so can't listen while walk or us the sleep audio, have to constantly keep phone active. Press-ups: camera feature doesn't work and no way passed that for the first go (i did 30 press-ups just trying to get it running!). Also the intro audio is very annoying and feels unprofessional for motivation. Good app but not compete. These bugs means I'm not subscribing. Hope it gets improved. Let me know when it's fixed. I've already emailed you.

I feel mental is very helpful. However, I am upset because today, when I was doing an appointment. I was wrapping up, and suddenly, there was a technical glitch at the end of my session. As my therapist was typing the analysis of me, I waited five minutes and it continually showed typing. He never finished.

gives a kaizen approach to daily coaching in motivation, action, push-ups, cold showers, book summaries 10-15 minutes, and something I've put 25 hrs in 6 weeks with but there's 8 minute sessions available with the AI therapists... the only thing I don't like is the different ai therapists don't see the other therapists conversations... so if you explain a lot to one therapist and try a different one you have to go back to square one... if you're looking for different views on the same topic.

I'm not one to leave reviews, but whoever came up with this app is the absolute goat. I am a huge fan of discipline and routines for my mental health, and there are a ton of apps for that. But I just tried the coaching tab with the AI coaches, and the session was spot on. It was really helpful content, and it felt like a natural but guided conversation with a coach. Maybe I got lucky on my first go-round with it, but I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this.

Like the idea and content but it's incredibly glitchy. On the 7day free trial and the app wouldn't load at all yesterday, so already one of my streaks is broken. Then it loads today with the new push up challenge, which counts your reps using your camera, but the camera won't open. If it were free+ad supported id probably keep using. But I'm not going to pay $40 for an app that might work.

It was great until the app kept failing. I deleted and reinstalled the app and now it doesn't recognize that I'm subscribed and I can't access anything. When I click on the subscribe button, it takes me to the next screen that says my subscription will start next year (when the current subscription ends) and then it fails to process anything. I feel like I'm just out $40.

I'm really enjoying the app, but there's a big issue. Went to look up the sub prices, but when I go to it, it's just blank. Hoping that's not some way to trap customers, since according to the app, ACCOUNT DELETION DOES NOT STOP THE SUBSCRIPTION & the only way to end your subscription is through that page in app. Really, the content is great, but please fix the subscription page, & maybe consider making account deletion include stopping subscription? Otherwise It looks like a scammy trap.

it's alright, but glitches often. chats are jumping up and down, impossible to read. at times, the response from AI is pending and never gets sent. then i have to restart the app, which erases the last conversation, and it's not possible to take it from the last message sent. also, the mic recording shouldn't be automatic since it takes time to read multiple paragraphs received. a simple Back button or other exits the chat, and it's not possible to retrieve it. so a lot of wasted time.
