  1. [R1] Finch 2/5 · GB Not really a self-care app: I’ve been using finch for years and I’ve found it’s become more of an idle tap game than a self-care tool. Fun enough if your phone can handle it (mine lags and closes the app randomly) but not really a mental health tool
  2. [R11] Finch 5/5 · GB Gamified self-care / self-improvement: It's cute and fun and doing it with friends really helps!
  3. [R12] Finch 5/5 · GB Brilliant little tool!: I bloody love this App! I use it every day, especially in the morning to help me start my day off mindfully. It’s fun, easy and very cute, I’m soooo invested in raising and nurturing my little birb it’s hilarious 🤣
  4. [R13] Finch 5/5 · GB Great for building habits: I got Finch just over a month ago and my mental health has drastically improved. Every day your self care pet will go on an adventure and share something with you when they’re back. You will always have a micro pet egg and when you complete a goal 7 times it will hatch. Finch is amazing
  5. [R10] Finch 1/5 · GB Good App but very unstable: Good self care but keep minimum saved favorite and use the App shorter time trying not to be closed suddenly.
  6. [R17] Finch 5/5 · GB AMASINGG: First of all, I love the design of this app It’s so cute and colourful and doesn’t make you feel stressed or overwhelmed. Second note I love all the features of this app. I love how you can have activities checks and quizzes I got this game because a friend recommended it to me and they said it was really good. Speaking of friends I love how you can have friends on this app. It’s really
  7. [R2] Finch 5/5 · GB Great app: Great app - the free version is fine. Makes me think about the small wins in life.
  8. [R18] Finch 5/5 · GB Love it!: It’s helped me build up little habits that I’ve struggled for years to maintain! It’s so cute and whimsical and reminds me of playing on Neopets when I was young. Love that I get to send things to my friends and buddy up with them - it’s the accountability I need to help me do certain things like going for a walk in a FUN non stressful way!!
  9. [R3] Finch 3/5 · GB 🪶: Such a lovely app ! Thank you! Just one disappointment: my friend saved her progress and her account has been deleted. Please work on this
  10. [R4] Finch 1/5 · GB Too young and have to pay: You have to give it personal information and then tell them what stresses you out. It then generates chores for you and makes you pay. It claims that the age you are will personalise your experience but it’s for 3 year olds either way
  11. [R6] Finch 1/5 · GB Warning: This so say self help app has been stealing money off me i cancelled my subscription which i activated by accident they do not reply and have actually contested my complaint and payment avoid this app

  14. [R36] Finch 5/5 · GB Finch self-care pets: So good helping my. Mental health and wellbeing 5 STARS LOLA
  15. [R43] Finch 5/5 · GB The best: Ok so when I bought this app I thought it wasn’t gonna work and you’d need to pay for everything. I was wrong. This app makes my day. It’s adorable, fun and informative. You can subscribe to have your birds clothing items for less but that’s not a big game changer. Thankyou for reading.
  16. [R19] Finch 4/5 · GB Finch review: Finch helps me get through each day and helps me get ready for any thing to happen in life. I love waking up and learning with cupcake the birb and making friendships with everyone we come across I also love the cute micropets and love getting sent cuddles from my friends I also love the cute aesthetic of everything like how we can travel and decorate the birbs clothing and house so
