Have only just started using the app, so we'll see how this holds up over time, but it looks like it's going to be helpful for me trying to improve my understanding of emotions despite alexithymia. I like the very calm and sober interface (nothing distracting or overstimulating), everything important is easy to find, the emotion definitions are really helpful. Staying on the free version for now, considering subscribing if it still works for me after a few weeks.

I love this app. I enjoy the prompts and the journalist parts. The characters and outfits are cute. Price is a little unreasonable for a yearly subscription so I pay monthly. Would give 5 stars but I would love it if there were more clothes and furniture to choose from. My recommendation for improvement would include a larger living area or a few areas to decorate and maybe a companion of some sort.

genuinely, has helped a lot. It gives so many options and descriptions for emotions that I can usually find one that matches what I'm either thinking or feeling ♡♡♡♡ not to mention, that I don't feel pressured to "feel" something specific, like with some other apps I've used. give it a try, if ya like it, great! If not, then that's okay! ♡
