Reviews for Finch: Self-Care Pet

I would rate this higher as I love the app, but since the recent update (6/26/25) the app keeps forcing closed and I cannot complete anything. I have gone through all the steps to fix it and it just keeps forcing closed. Every time I open it, it freezes and then forced close. It was not like this before the recent update. If I could fix this, I would rate it higher.

Finch has been a SURPRISING lifesaver. I did leave my little birb with the default name, but they couldn't be a better fit. I love getting to interact with them, and the goals & activities you can do on the app aren't overwhelming to me. I am SO glad that it has so many features that are accessible without a paywall and that anything you WOULD have to pay for is completely optional. I really look forward to seeing the progress I make with the help of my new birb friend. ❤️🐥

This app is awesome. I used the free version for a while before getting Finch Plus. Over the past few months, this app has helped me build healthy habits and routines, become more productive, and has even been instrumental in helping me lose 40lbs so far (and counting.) I would recommend this app to anyone looking to become more organized and healthy.

Awesome app that I didn't even know I needed. Do it with a friend if possible, or match with one in game. Really cute and fun to use, gets you motivated to do more of whatever it is you want or need to do more of. Lots of ways to use it, good mental health tools available. I'm sure the paid version is awesome, but the free version is great too, and there are no commercials! It's a real public service that they provide all they do for free. I'm really grateful to them for doing this ❤️

I've been using Finch for a while, and I have periods where I forget to check in, but the recent updates have been really nice to keep me motivated to check in! Finch helps me to stay more present and aware of how I am spending my time, and gives me goals to work towards that I can customize! Plus I love dressing up my little bird friend, Tito, and decorating his house 🩷

I was very skeptical I would get anything outta this cutesy lil thing a friend invited me to. but I'm actually really enjoying it! it's definitely cute, I enjoy decorating the birdhouse and dressing him up, and especially the little pets you collect! but there's actually a lot of helpful things too... it's a great way to build new habits, remind you to do things, and even encourage you to connect to ppl... I just wish the plus wasn't so expensive...

I can't rave about this enough, and it's only day three. This is adorable and actually helpful in little everyday challenges. The goals are fun and the graphics are so cute! As someone who has anxiety and depression in colder seasons, I think this will serve me and anyone else using it well. Plus, I got to make my pet non binary like me! On top of mental struggles like depression, anxiety, et cetera, this is great for neurodivergent folks too. Enjoy!

Overall I really enjoy this app, and I've found it very useful in my day-to-day life. However, several times in the past months I've tried to send my friends in the app gifts, and it will take my rainbow stones but not actually send them a gift and still say it's sold, whether I'm on wifi/data or not. At this point I've lost about 5,000 stones due to this and it's getting really frustrating, and starting to discourage me from getting on at times.

This app has really helped pull me out of a dark place. Its helped me reframe how I think about productivity and progress and just generally be nicer to myself. You can customize your goals and reminders or let the app do it for you based on the feedback you give. Love this app and highly recommend it to anyone who needs a little encouragement, motivation or reminders that growth is growth no matter how small!

Updating my review. I've been using daily this for 3 or 4 years now. I don't really use any of the mindfulness features, I use it as a journaling app mostly, but I get a huge amount of value out of that. I love the events and micropets, and they've made some tree town improvements. I appreciate that they're also releasing new travel locations. There is just so much care put into this app. Please put different color floors in the store though!!

I love this app, it's cute and it does really help me. But I don't understand the thing with the game currency, why every thing costs so much and it's hard to acquire a decent amount of without selling your stuff. And why does sending gifts have to cost an extra 200? Please make the gems either easier to acquire, or make accessories cheaper. And consider removing that extra 200 to send gifts thing, I genuinely can't imagine a single reason to back that up.

Finch has been amazing for my self care and productivity. The free version contains zero ads and has all the features I need. I randomly received a month of premium for free which was nice but I didn't feel like it was necessary. As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be a limit on how many goals you can have which is amazing, and I love the different self care areas and built-in activities like the body scan and breathing exercises. Highly recommend.

This app has really helped get me moving after post partum depression. It keeps me organized and helps me remember tasks that I want or need to do. I use it to remind me of daily tasks and habits. I also use it to remind me of fun things I like do to because sometimes depression doesn't let you remember that you like coloring, reading books or listening to music. I love the pet aspect of it and learning things about places you travel with your birb. Definitely recommend!

Finch really helps me keep track and remember what I need to do. I approach it without pressuring myself to do everything, just what I can do. The First Aid Kit and breathing exercises are really helpful for me when I am struggling. I enjoy dressing up my penguin and being able to decorate their room. It makes things fun! I also like sending my friends support over Finch.

Once I got into a rhythm I started really enjoying this app. I did buy the full membership, but it's a year at a time, not monthly payments and it's not too much. I find that the little suggestions and goals really motivate me to actually do them. you can make your own, but the suggested options are short and perfect to start with. I even bought a stuffed birp of my little birp.

I love this app. It's so cute. but there are some bugs like the items you can buy. some are randomized, and at the bottom, the rest stay the same. there's an option to pick things when you go to this part of the shop called the Catalog it has alot of clothes you wouldnt normally see and they are all so cute and it tells you how much the item costs. but you aren't able to find and buy it anywhere even if you click on it and its kinda sad. but overall, I love the app. It's great and motivating.

What a fun, gentle way to help me take care of myself and my mental health on a daily basis. The free version provides all you need, allowing you to set your own self-care goals; for hard days, it may be just getting out of bed. I chose to subscribe to Plus for the additional tools: more breathing exercises, soundscapes, and even physical exercises. I highly recommend this app.

Absolutely the best self care app there is. No questions asked. It has everything you need! It's adorable, inclusive, you can get so many items without having to purchase the Plus subscription, and there are NO ADS! It's so helpful, too! There is also a streak pause feature you can access through your streak info. It will let you pause your streak for up to 7 days if you need a break. Y'all did really well with this one. 💕

5☆ to 3☆ I had the free week. I loved it, but it says I still have Finch Plus under the free trial. It shows the expiration date of yesterday, so everything Plus is locked. It makes sense it wouldn't work, but because it still says Finch Plus active under the free trial, I couldn't sign up as a paid Plus member. I closed the app, canceled my subscription, then resubscribed as a paid member. However, when I open the app, it still says I'm on the free trial and it's all locked. $40 for nothing?

This is a great game to keep you positive and productive and it's fun customizing your character and seeing your family and friends characters. Now my 1 BIG COMPLAINT! Please fix the shop, I see items I want but not in the color I want so I have to wait for another one to come up and it NEVER happens! I have one item I'm still waiting to find again in a color I like and it's been almost a year 🤯 make it like the rest of the shop where when we tap an item we can choose the color we buy 🙏
