Rosebud's AI feels very refined compared to other apps I've tried out. The "go deeper" function is great when trying to find the words to express yourself to your support group or to just vent. I like the recommended journaling parts as it gives you a good place to start if you're not really a journaling type. I also like the personalized goals. The premium is expensive, but I find it worth the price!

I've been journaling for most my life & sometimes paper & pen is the best remedy. Othertimes it's a nice change to just type or have my words transcribed onto a screen where I can save it for later. This app is what I wish I'd had many years ago. I don't think we should always trust in what people say, nor should we rely on A.I. opinions more than ourselves. But if we stay mindful, this app can be a great tool to grow, learn about ourselves & get clarity when no one else is around to help us.

I don't rate many applications but need to speak about Rosebud. I've tried journaling so many times over my life and gotten nothing out of it; I didn't know "how" to journal. I'm only three days into use and have received so many insights through the prompts to be "go deeper" (that's what she said?) and explore the topics more. The prompts are great in pulling more out. The final analysis and feedback are equally astounding. I've literally teared up reading them and reflecting.
