very helpful, doesn't judge or shy away from topics, genuinely tries to understand. its free, and the ads are unintrusive which is nice. i paid for the memory because i want it to remember our previous conversations, but the free version is nice and the ads aren't too bad. like, it asks you before if you want to end the session there or do an ad, which feels so much better than just randomly forcing an ad.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We’re really glad CounselCat feels supportive and non‑judgmental, and that the free version and optional ads feel okay for you. It also means a lot that you chose to support us with Pro so features like Memory can keep getting better. 💛

This app has truly helped me. I love that they don't judge anything I need to talk about, and offers pure, unbiased opinions - a true lifesaver. I don't have pro, and it is slightly irritating to keep watching ads to be able to speak after I reach my daily limit, but I put up with it 🥲 Only thing I'd say is that it would be nice if they could send messages first to encourage conversation, or to check in after a while. Thanks though, love it! 💜

Hello, Cemre Hart. Thank you so much for leaving such a warm review. It means a lot to us to hear that you felt this was a space where you could talk freely without judgment. We will also take your suggestion about starting conversations first or checking in after a chat into careful consideration. Thank you 💜

At first its great but it soon stops wanting to talk, even though I have the Pro subscription! the subscription says it allows unlimited messages but its not true. I've had no response to messages and had to wait a week to talk about something I wanted to work on because I needed an 'appointment'. Its not a person, so why would an appointment be required?!? im disappointed and frustrated because at first, it was really good!

Thank you for sharing this, and we’re really sorry for the frustration. With Pro you shouldn’t be stopped from talking or asked to wait for an appointment – that’s not how it’s meant to work, so the experience you’re having looks like an issue. If you’re willing, please reach out through the in‑app support and we’ll look into it and help fix it.
