So I tried this chatbot. Omg! I'm amazed how well it understands me and provides good advice to help in the midst of any scenario. Answers are mind-boggling to me because I tried ChatGPT, and it wasn’t so helpful for mental health.” - Stellata82 PROVEN EFFECTIVE BY SCIENTISTS Youper uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, the scientifically proven way to calm anxiety and improve your mood.

They ruined it
This used to be the best mental health app on the App Store. Now it costs an absurd amount, and they replaced all of the CBT with a AI that is incapable of providing even the most basic assistance. I’m genuinely shocked at how they’ve “updated” their app. Steer clear.
Pointless.
All is does is ask you “how does that make you feel” or “what about that bothers you”. That’s it. It may ask it differently sometimes but that’s literally ALL IT DOES. It also tells you that it’s essentially only made for anxiety and that’s it. I don’t have anxiety but even if I did I don’t understand why only have those two responses ever would help?? It’s terrible. Unless you ONLY want an anonymous bot to reply to everything you say with some variation of “I’m sorry you feel bad, that sounds terrible”…. Don’t get this.
Digital self-help, not helpful conversation
I am about to complete the free trial, think I will cancel. First handful of days were fine considering I was in a optimistic positive mood. Today was different, feeling pretty down so decided to chat about personal issues. The AI was extremely unhelpful and had no understanding of what it is like to be in a depressed state. The answers were Solutions given would be great when one is in a motivated up place, but if you’re not in that state it’s worthless and actually could make things worse. If that wasn’t enough, just when I thought we were making progress it decided it was done with the conversation and ended it. If you’re looking for an extra boost of encouragement and do not struggle with depression, motivation or anything severe this could work for you. if you do struggle with the listed issues, I have found this app to be very unhelpful, it motivated me to write this review, I generally never write reviews.
Disappointed.
Let me start by saying Youper is now no more than a mood tracker if you do not subscribe. I understand putting some features behind a paywall that were once free, but putting the entirety of the app besides the mood tracking feature behind a paywall is unacceptable. I started using Youper in 2018 - it was great and super helpful to me at the time. I redownloaded the app in 2024 and I am shocked by how money hungry the devs are. The features that used to be free are now behind a pay wall. Don’t get me started on how aggressive the pop ups are to get people to subscribe. Your ads make people feel like they are a number, worth just as much as the money they can give you. For an app preaching accessible mental health, I can tell you have lost that passion over the years. I know the world is a different place now, but with the increasing AI capabilities, there is absolutely no reason to charge for the use an AI service that was free before there was a robust amount of technology of its kind.
Very money hungry
Can’t do anything without getting a subscription, constantly pressuring you to get one. Feels like they’re trying to take advantage.
Lowkey Lame of Y’all
Like many of the most recent reviews express, I have been using Youper on and off for years. It was an important part of my early healing journey and I thought I would revisit it for healing journey part 2. However, every. single . thing. is behind a paywall now. And it’s lowkey lame of y’all. I get it. You’ve realized the earning potential of the app and probably (hopefully) are just trying to keep the thing funded but at the end of the day, many of us used this app because we could not afford traditional therapy. While essentially forcing people to buy the paid version of an app isn’t anything new, it is disconcerting to see an app that presented itself as a genuine and accessible tool for self-betterment turn into a money grab. And please, for the love of the gods, if you’re going for the money grab, please stop responding to comments from long-term users expressing their disappointment with your marketing and pricing structure by asking what improvements could be made to an app they can no longer use or what features they miss. These comments along with your placating statements about how change is hard comes across as intentionally avoiding the reality your paywall has created. Obviously we miss the old, accessible Youper that seemed to give a flying fiddlestick. That’s the suggestion so many users are giving you: remove your paywall, or at the very least increase the features that can be used without paying.
Poor app
I wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for true support or empathy.
