Ahead: Emotions Coach

Before finding “Ahead” I was used to the idea that applications aren’t as useful as they seem to be. Not to mention that when somebody told me about apps that were trying to be used in the field of psychology I was extremely confused and uncomfortable. I haven’t found until now an option like this. “Ahead” is very well though and the fact that it was built with the help of scientists from Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge mattered a lot in the decision to start using the free trial. I can say that after a few days of testing it that I had the feeling of being able to get the help I need when I’m not working actively with my therapist. It feels like a great start for someone who wondering whether or not to start therapy. Also for somebody who is taking a break or can no longer afford to see a psychologist I feel it is a way to continue a minimum necessary work with themselves.

Can't actually use any features without paying. And the price is steep!

I have been using this app for over a month. It has really helped me with procrastination and the guilt that comes along. I have already personally recommended this to many friends.

Ahead has given me so many tools to take a step back and reevaluate how i’m feeling. It’s equipped me with tools that i was not given growing up. I’m turning 31 this year, and feel more confident in my ability to heal from my trauma and to keep my feelings from controlling ME! Thanks Ahead team!!!

I already feel better and it’s only been a week. This app gives so many tools to cope with my anxiety.

Offer a free trial that expires in 7 days… on day 7 auto renewal and no chance to cancel. Highway robbery.

This app is extremely helpful in putting your thoughts and emotions into words so you can better process them. This will leave you feeling more open minded and less isolated. Often times when I’m anxious or upset I feel as if my experience is wrong or that I’m the only one living it, but this app reminds me that there is a community and that I’m not by myself along this journey of understanding.

I love this app and the idea for it... but why is there no free version? There's only a 1 week free trial, and then after that, everything in the app grays out and you can't review even the courses you've already completed. Why not have a free version that's always free and available, and just have 3-4 free courses on it? Then pay for the premium version if you want. Having a one week free trial is bogus...how are going to attract new customers if they can't see the courses they've completed after the week is up? The content is great and very well done...works in a gamified environment that helps you learn the concepts faster which I liked. Also...why is the premium version SO expensive?! 83 bucks a year?! Seriously? How are you going to get new customers at that price? Maybe you should make a "lite version" for 25-30 bucks a year with only 10-12 courses on it that people can handpick. Then the premium subscription could have all the content. You have to meet people where they are. The idea is solid and you should keep the app going, just fix the subscription stuff and you will be fine (along with a forever free version)

Hoping this review will allow this scam business to do the right thing. what a total scam. not worth it!

I’ve unfortunately never had this happen before. I downloaded the app with the promise of a free trial. The app was interesting but didn’t seem worth the price. I cancelled the subscription before the trial ended and deleted the app. I unfortunately was charged for a year subscription AND cannot access the app content. I reached out to Apple support and was denied a refund and not sure what else to do. Quite disappointing experience.
