  1. [R3] Finch 3/5 · US Took away my goals: i used to love this app as i have over 300 day streak right now and i am very disappointed in the update removing long term goals (some of which i was very close) long term big goals help keep me interested and with them gone so is my motivation. not to mention the dire need for new shop items i have 15000 gems and nothing to spend them on. went from maybe half an hour a day to
  2. [R17] Finch 5/5 · US Amazing game: I love this game so much me and my friends stay it touch during the summer with out messages
  3. [R18] Finch 5/5 · US Extremely fun!!: I absolutely love how much there is to do in the free version, new items every day and attainable ways gain gems for those items by simply holding yourself accountable to your own to-do lists! The sense of satisfaction is awesome, I love to play games and complete everything I can so this will be something I check everyday.
  4. [R25] Finch 5/5 · US Love it: I absolutely love it. I just wish that there was a different way to communicate with your friends, but totally recommend.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
  5. [R1] Finch 2/5 · US Terrible product support and some real flaws: The app doesn’t warn you that you will lose all your points unless you collect them by a certain time, and the support team won’t restore them to you if you didn’t realize that. There are also some racist issues with the themes and some sexist stereotypes. In addition, it started out more calm but is feeling more and more like social media lite.
  6. [R6] Finch 3/5 · US Issues: Doesn’t show all quests even though it shows a notification for one being completed
  7. [R9] Finch 4/5 · US Best app ever: I can hardly say anything because it’s a great app And I don’t know what to say, but I have one suggestion for the developers. If your birb wants clothing, furniture, color dye, or travel tickets, then I think you should be able to make a list for your birb. And I wish that Finch could transfer to a different phone without any problems. We tried to transfer it to this phone, but I h
  8. [R10] Finch 5/5 · US LOVEEEEE: I absolutely love this app! It helps me with my routines, hygiene, and nutrition!
  9. [R2] Finch 4/5 · US 🙁: I don’t like how you have to pay for outfits with little gems
  10. [R4] Finch 1/5 · US Overly self-promotional, have to pay for custom goals: Every day it gives me a goal to add a friend/invite someone to the app- I don’t want to spam my friends that way. If you want to use any icon for a goal besides the golf hole, it forces you into one of its premade self-care areas. Even if you manually select a different area, it keeps the default self-care area also, making the app more cumbe
  11. [R7] Finch 1/5 · US Still charging me money: It’s still charging me payments when I cancelled my subscription and it’s happened 4 different times now I can’t download stuff bc it’s trying to make me pay all of it and it’s been charging me twice in one week for no reason..???
  12. [R14] Finch 4/5 · US Fun and good and healthy: Things amazing but the one thing I hate is like most of stuff is expensive and I’m does premium and I like the stuff you get, but it’s money and I wish it was free
  13. [R47] Finch 5/5 · US So much fun!: Finch is a blast. I connect with family and friends, set reminders to increase efficiency and trot around the globe, all without leaving my living room.
  14. [R11] Finch 5/5 · US FINCH: It’s a good app and helps you do what you need to do and take care of yourself of yourself at the same time
  15. [R15] Finch 5/5 · US So calming: Helped with my anxiety
  16. [R16] Finch 5/5 · US Depression is easier to manage now: I really appreciate the thoughtful design. It’s geared towards small steps and reframing how you approach what seemed to be insurmountable tasks. I appreciate the boost to help me live a happier life, one hour at a time.
  17. [R20] Finch 5/5 · US I can’t say enough positive things about Finch: I use Finch in my personal life, and I recommend it to my therapy clients. They do an excellent job of using the ways that humans learn and develop habits most effectively to our own advantage - to improve our ability to engage in meaningful self-care and reflection and, in doing so, promote a more positive sense of self and increased productivity. A
  18. [R21] Finch 5/5 · US Best self care app I’ve ever used: When I first downloaded finch, I didn’t download it with the intention of keeping it, I only downloaded it because I was in the middle of a psychosis episode and was trying to find anything to calm myself down. Surprisingly, the app helped a lot, and not only did it distract me, but it also helped me find better coping mechanisms to deal with my poor mental healt
  19. [R23] Finch 5/5 · US BEST APP ON PLANET EARTH!😍: I am one of those people that don’t have finch plus. I can so live without plus it’s literally the same thing you just can’t do some things but it doesn’t fully affect me. I am growing a new me. I feel happier than everyone. In my friend group all my friends are upset but l am happy and productive. Before l did finch l was just like them. So worth it DOWNLOAD NOW!!!!
