Buster Harris

“This product has been an incredible experience for me. The ability to get helpful feedback 24/7 and hold conversations really helped me in my toughest, loneliest moments. I also appreciate how it knows its limitations and is quick to offer real professional help when it thinks you need it. It isn't a human connection, but its ability to search and accumulate factual information in real time is very soothing. It works hard to help without overpromising its capabilities.”

Colleen Cash

“This interactive journal literally feels like having a conversation with someone. It has helped me stay on track with my mental health journey and growth. It shows you different perspectives and points out so many strengths, while also giving you insight about each entry. I love that it pulls from previous entries to help see patterns or realizations. Best mental health journaling tool I’ve used. I never found one that ever worked for me.”

“This app is amazing. I have such gratitude for what it has helped me accomplish. Seriously- it's not a substitute for a human/therapist, but it's like the best companion/assistant you can imagine an app providing- helping me get lists and plans organized, helping me with insights into my life changes currently... just so many things!”

“I have been using the free version for a week. So far, the AI feedback is better than the therapists that I have paid for on BetterHelp. The AI version asks me unlimited feedback questions. I love that there are journaling sections based on an area of my life that I want to concentrate on.”

Susan Kimi McFadden

“I appreciate that I have a secure place to put my thoughts and receive summaries and thought provoking questions. It is wonderful that action items mentioned in my journaling or in suggestions can be added to a check list so easily. Being able to type as fast as I'm thinking and not have to worry about penmanship is another plus as is being able to easily search my entries. I enjoy using this app every day.”

Jan 15, 2026

Brad Hachez

“I love this app. The questions are thought provoking, customized personas can be challenging, and the empathy offered by an AI feels whole. I am comforted by its long term memory through the upgraded paid functionality as it ties my mental threads together extremely well. I feel like I can be me AND a better person using this app. Highly recommend.”

Nicole Vaughn

“This is the best app I have ever ever ever used in my life. It sets reminders, remembers everything I say and links together patterns. It is mind blowingly amazing. My self-care meter is off the charts since I started using this a week ago! Definitely worth the subscription and I will continue to use this app daily. My husband joked that I talk to my app more than real people, and he is right! (No I wasn't paid for this review this is a real person honest review!)”

The insight's it gives after you journal has been so encouraging and uplifting. I love that I can use the microphone and talk and it captures all of my words. The only thing I wish Rosebud offered was the ability to add pictures to entries. Aside from that incredible amazing app”

“Rosebud is the smartest AI I have ever interacted with. It is the most insightful, encouraging, and helpful psychologist whom I have never met in real life. The journalling prompts lead me to deep, intense places in which I find connections where I least expect to. Rosebud is very much helping me to find solutions to difficult issues by going deeper in articulating thoughts and also provides helpful guidance on next steps to try out internally that can help me to inform my external actions.”
