Feeling Great 17+

I’m big into CBT, and I want this app to be as good as the books was. I love the design but I have some recommendations.
1: when you use the mic button, and you talk for a while, it will cut off what I said and only save the last bit, can you make it always retain all the text I say?
2: the default value should be 50 in the sliders, you shouldn’t need to tap them to put them at 50. Sometimes I just feel 50 but it makes me slide it to 50 from 50 if that makes sense.
3: the best part are the suggestions and exercises. But there has to be a more simple streamlined way of doing those without the clunkiness of agreeing or disagreeing with the binaries presented by the chat bot.
4: are these chats private? It’d be nice to have some concerns about privacy alleviated. I want to know if my personal thoughts will be used to or seen on the backend. I think most users want to know that too.
Cool app! Keep it up! It’s not quite there yet but it’s good!

Hi Blake! These are all great suggestions and I've shared them with our app team to improve the slider, mic interface(which is a feature with our Cool New Tools testing group), and streamlining the suggestions and exercises to be straight forward with many less steps.

As for our privacy, we have encrypted all communication in the app and while transferring. We have separated any identification with the chat and the user (Which is part of the reason we are taking our time to implement chat history or able to have the AI have full context from chat to chat instead of doing a new chat.

I have bought several of Dr Burns books and was excited to learn there was an app. I got to the 4th section of the first course only to be stopped with a pay $99 (normal price is $150) There was option to pay monthly. This makes it out of reach for most people. As someone on a fixed income this was so disheartening. I think the pricing is also outrageous. Being that I only got 4 short (abbreviated) sections of what’s in the book I can only give this one 1 star. I don’t know if you get the app versions of the forms you receive in the book. I know you can get them on the internet but an app version would have been awesome. At this price point I will never find out if they somehow accomplished this. Dr Burns makes a lot of money with conferences, speaking engagements, books, etc. to bring the cost of this way down. Maybe you don’t want to help EVERYONE? Maybe only a certain section of society, the upper echelon (the only people I know who could afford $150 regular price point. Disappointment doesn’t even begin to explain how I feel about this.

Hi there Bebeblues, we appreciate the honesty and glad you have experience with Dr. Burns books. While we are working on our pricing and offering a public beta pricing discount, we are working greatly increasing our options for subscribing or getting access to the app. It may take some time as this is still early in testing and ensuring the app experience and pricing meets our community needs. If our members have financial needs, please reach out to Support@feelinggreat.com and we may be able to assist with your scenario -Micheal

I was lucky enough to join the beta for this app so I have been using it for months. The AI is shockingly good at capturing your mental state and expressing empathy. Often it captures how I am feeling in better words than I can put together myself. It’s also great at walking you through various approaches to changing your thinking.
This app states it is not a substitute for therapy but boy is it close! And it helps me stay on track when I can’t grab a pen and paper and do a mood log. It’s also great when a painful thought pops up in the middle of the night - I can use the app without waking my partner, and usually it helps me break free from the thought and get back to sleep.

This app is really good and I hope more people find and benefit from it.

We're happy to hear that the app is helping you shift the way you think during the experience. Glad to hear it be a great way to tackle those late night thoughts quietly too! You can share your experiences at Support@feelinggreat.com and we may give a shout-out on our socials! -Micheal
