BetterMe: Mental Health 4+

Very uncomplicated exercises to help identify the root of imbalance. I have survived a spectrum of deep traumas since childhood. Always being in survival mode left me checked out or to locked into an emotional vortex.
Being in that state for so long made adept at manipulating myself into a false sense of safety without truly processing anything. You cannot manipulate the app. The past few weeks have been enlightening in very small doses.
The plans are simple and general enough to be applied to your everyday life. I’ve had several aha moments hours after doing an exercise. The reminders are gentle and easy to follow.
I selected the childhood trauma and unpacking emotional baggage to start. The foundational premise is easy to understand, relatable, and honest.
Love the guided meditations and sleep sounds.

After using this app for several weeks now it has become clear that this app is intended for women specifically. Many of the courses and articles speak only to women and do not appear to be intended for men, which is very disappointing. The breathwork section is not gender specific but is also VERY basic. The sleep sounds section is cool but needs more sounds to try. The bedtime stories section only has three stories so it's okay for the first few days but that's it. I don't follow the plan page really anymore especially since I had to stop the last course I was taking after a couple of days when I realized it was gender specific. We'll see how long I keep using this app, especially since I already have a Mindvalley membership that offers all of these things and more and isn't gender specific.

Update: Since the developers are not going to be honest about the content and intended audience I will just clarify. I completed tho courses on the app and both of them had sections asking you to "focus on your womanhood" or to "concentrate on your feminine energy" and st least one article it suggested was something about "habits of successful women". Apparently they want you to believe that those sorts of articles are "good resources" for men. I disagree. That said, if you are looking to develop your "womanhood", I have good news for you as that seems to be a main focus of this app.

Hello!
Thank you for your detailed feedback and we highly appreciate your input.
The plan is based on the questionnaire that a user passes in the beginning. Moreover, the app is considered a set of tools good for both genders.
Still, some inconveniences may happen, and we are happy to hear that attentive users like you can notice them, and bring them to our attention. We highly appreciate that since your feedback is our way to becoming better!
Please reach us at gethelp@betterme.world. We will be happy to hear a bit more from you regarding this case and to correct any inconvenience you faced so far.
We will be looking forward to hearing from you!

The app itself is ok, but their billing practices are predatory. They do not send an email notification a few days before your membership is due to renew to allow you the chance to cancel; this is how they trap you into continuing to pay for the subscription. I am recovering from a head injury that affects my memory and organization, so I wasn’t as on top of things as I usually am. When I got the “receipt” email letting me know that I’d been charged for a renewal, I was so upset thinking I’d missed the courtesy reminder email. Nope, there wasn’t one. So I immediately emailed and explained my situation and asked to cancel and refund my money because I hadn’t been utilizing the app. They canceled my subscription but ignored the part about the refund. I emailed again and asked about the refund. They responded days later saying they don’t give refunds. Then they also had the audacity to say they value their customers and asked me to stay and offered to give me a deal on an additional several months. As if I want to remain a customer with a company that has zero compassion for people going through tough situations. I would highly advise anyone to not give any of your money to this app. Find one that actually gives courtesy emails regarding subscriptions and upcoming charges, and one that actually values their customers.
