Anyone using Finch app for self-help?

does anyone use the finch app? it's the only self-help app that's held my attention and actually helped me keep track of things

Can you help? connect today

klutz03

Yes!!! I love it

Keisha

yes! i just closed out of it to come onto this one, the events and cute rewards are definitely a motivation to keep using it

avian

yeah!! it has just enough game-like activities to be fun but not so much that's it's distracting from the self-help aspects. also i love taking care of the little bird, it's adorable :')

Marjo

what type of rewards did you find the most meaningful?

FTW

I had it for a few months, but I didnt stay interested.

ThunderBeetle

I love the app as well!

oddity_hunter

I used it for a while but I don't keep up with the daily streak anymore. I did almost every day last year but got bored of it

Ja80

I’m just downloading it now see if it helps thanks for mentioning it 👍

avian

no problem, i hope it helps!!

BrokenPotato

Yes! I’ve been using this app for a while now. It’s fun to dress up the little penguin, I named mine Cheesecake 😂💕 if you like this app I definitely recommend Wysa and Woebot too! 🤗

avian

cheesecake is such a cute name i love that!! mine is named ashe :) i love dressing him up and playing around with different colors. i think i've heard of wysa but not of woebot :o! i'll have to check it out, thank you!

Marjo

what are your favorite elements of these apps.?

Placebo1228

I love it. I named my buddy Merlin bc I'm a nerd lol but esp the panic exercises have helped me a lot

avian

yeah! all of their mental first aid stuff is super helpful, i appreciate it so much

Misfit

Honestly love that app. My bird is named flapjack because I’m a giant nerd

avian

flapjack is a great name though i love it :)

Melia99

I've used Wysa in the past, but I've not heard of Finch! I'm gonna have to try that one!

Kiwis

I just started actually because someone on here made a post about it, I've never been able to keep with a journaling app before Finch and it has already helped me tremendously in the week that I've had it (-: my friend code is BRF37CVLDV for anyone who wants to be pals on there!

avian

yeah same with me! i've tried so many journaling, habit, and mood tracking apps but none of them stuck. this one works perfectly as all three though, i love it :) and i'll add you! i'll leave my friend code here in case anyone else wants it, too! LZ28RCEW4V

Bellea606

Yes I love it!!!

willownyx

My finch is called bread! :D it's such a cool app I've been using it for just under a year now and it's been so helpful, if anyone wants to add my friend code DM me :)

avian

bread is so cute!! perfect name for a little bird :'

Kaidi

I did for a little while!

Rene1027

I use it daily. Definitely helps with my struggle to get out of bed (especially recently)

avian

same, i always use it throughout the day and it helps me a lot

Vix26

Yes me too

Ja80

Didn’t think would have to pay when people are struggling financially and mentally 😥

Skylarkbard

I've only used the free option and it's still super helpful 🤷‍♂️

AstraDragon

I used Finch for a bit but before that I used Sanevello and it helped me a lot!

avian

ooh i haven't heard of sanevello before, i'll have to check it out!

serendi

YES!! I’ve used it for a long time, and I LOVE it. I’ve gotten a lot of people into it as well, including my mom who actually uses it plenty more than I do.

avian

that's awesome!! i love finch so much i'm glad it's helping so many people :)

FS_cookielove

I used to but I get uninterested in things fairly quickly

FTW

same. I used it for about 3 weeks. Its the same as my hobbies. Just dont care, anymore.

el6

Yes! I've had it for over a year now and use it most days. I stopped using it as a journal and just checked off goals for a while but with the new seasonal events I've started using it more again

avian

the seasonal stuff is so cute!! i really love the starry theme they have going on right now :)

SalineTurnip

Yep I've been using it for close to six months now. I'm loving the seasonal stuff. I named my bird after myself to make sure I take care of it lol.

Ja80

that is such a good idea gonna change mine

avian

that is a really good idea! :o i just named mine after a character i like lol

sad_bunny

I named mine Hap, because he's helping me be happy

ClumsyWorm

Finch is the best!!!

oliviaaa

i've been using finch for a while now and it's one of the best self care apps i have used, especially since i can never keep up with those plain journaling self care apps (my code is FGT14E5T5K if anyone is interested in being friends on there!)

avian

saame, i've always had a really hard time with journaling apps. i just never really know what to say lol so i appreciate all of the prompts finch has. also i'll add you!!

OurLadyOfChaos

I installed it and ignored it very much for a couple months until I uninstalled it.

Trudie_tootie

I love it too! Got some friends to use it and everyone is a lil bit better and have cute birdies too!

itoldyou6

I haven't heard of it before! I'm going to download it right now!

avian

nice!! i hope it benefits you!

ModestNeko

Yep I use it too. It's helped with journaling and self care. I do recommend it

Waterlemon

I haven’t used it but I just downloaded it :)

avian

nice!! i hope you like it!!

ellij

I've been using it for over a year. I love it so much! 🥰 It's the only thing I've ever been this consistent with in my entire life haha

JessyP

I need to re-download it

ClumsyWorm

Here is my code if you want to add me ❤️ F33NPGJSD9

avian

awesome, i'll add you!!

JessyP

I will add you too thanks for that

mysterious320

I've tried it a few times but I dunno I seem to get bored of it. I like the idea of it but feel like your limited i think it would be better if it was like a tamagochi pet more and the selfcare but I've found that there are time constraints to it

sad_bunny

I love it!! I only found about it recently and I've been obsessed!💕

Ashcookie

I'm new here so it's my first time using it but I like it so far. 🤗

tinysas

Yes

KateO

I used to use it but sometimes it gets a little overwelming so i stoped 💕

Moolies

What is the finch app? :)

avian

it's a self help app where you can track goals, do some journaling, and other activities like stretching and yoga and stuff!! and you also have a little virtual pet bird that you can dress up :) it's really cute

howell

I had it on and off in 2021, and now have fully kept up with it, me and Astren are doin great! my friend code is DEJ2TYCYAN

avian

awesome, i'll add you!! my code is LZ28RCEW4V and my bird's name is ashe :)

LadySquigglebones

Yesss it works so well! I have to bribe myself with a little bird but I’m getting things accomplished lol

LadySquigglebones

My friend code is EANWTT1RVW if anyone wants to get some rainbows stones! 💕

avian
