Reviews for Ahead: Emotions Coach

I'm only on day 2 visiting this app and I'm actually writing notes in my journal because this is truly helpful for someone like me. I have been an addict since I was 13 years old. 22 years later I am finally on a sobriety path but have no control of emotions, temper, etc. I am a child at 35 years old but this app is truly amazing so far. it's gonna keep me sober because I'll be able to manage one thing I never had control over.

only used the app less than an hour, but does seem promising. Wish there was a monthly payment option instead of a yearly. easier for some of us to pay 6 a month than 60 at one time for a year especially not knowing if I'll like it enough to use it for a year.

not giving 5 stars yet, since it's too soon to know how effective this will be; but I'm enjoying the bite-size lessons, which are easy to understand and absorb, without feeling overwhelming or tedious. so far this app has done a better job of talking me through emotional regulation than a therapist ever has! it's frustrating to hear the same advice over and over with no additional context; Ahead actually explains HOW to help the strategies stick, and why they might be difficult at first...

The app itself is easy to navigate. This app does require a subscription after either the free 7 day trial or the 30 days for $4.99. The lessons it teaches make sense and is CBT based. It does have cute interaction screens. I see a therapist weekly and anxiety medication so I would like something else to add to the routine.

So far, so good. I like the structure of the reading portions and the check-in questions they add in to ensure I'm retaining the information. It has a different approach than other MH apps I've used. The research is noticeable and digestible. (I haven't experienced it outside my free trial. Hopefully, it doesn't throttle progression when not paid for)

I'm pleasantly surprised at the efficacy of this app. Using it for the breakup emotional regulation and it's been really helpful. The interactive pieces are varied so it keeps attention. The brain science is helpful and informative. The exercises are helpful! I love the widget option. I wish there was more ability to edit journal entries and titles but I'm really happy with it overall. As someone who does not journal, the questions and prompts are introspective and useful. Recommended fully!

Wasnt for me, but the worst part is they give you ZERO heads up when your subscription is about to renew. So when you use the app for a week after paying for it and then decide its not for you, they wait the next 11 weeks and slapp you with a bill as a reminder to cancel and will not refund. Do not recommend due to deceptive business practices.

I enjoy using this app, I have paid for a year subscription. I just finished the positivity section, but I wish there was an option to reset my progress on it or something so I can redo it and have it remember which ones I've redone (like a gold tick instead of purple for the ones done again). The customer service isn't good, I emailed asking how to access the check in page as I have achievements for check in which remains empty as I can't find it, but no one gets back to me.But content is good

You need to purchase a plan after using the 7 day free trial. While I understand an ad supported version would require you to disclose user data, this unfortunately makes this app inaccessible to many people, including those who need it most. I hope you're able to create an version for people who cannot pay for a subscription. This is unfortunate because this app seems great for helping you or your child understand emotions on a deeper level.

False advertising– there's no free plan, you have to pay to access any of the features. sad, because I really thought it might be helpful, but I refuse to pay another subscription; I would have considered a one time payment, but subs are ridiculous. Uninstalled immediately once they asked for payment details.
