It’s alright, but needs a lot of updates for the price – Mend: Go within Review

Mend is an alright app. After breaking up with my long term boyfriend after realizing I was a lesbian, I was in need of ANYTHING to help me process. Mend did help. The trainings were usually useful, and I liked that there were guided journal prompts for each day. I also liked that it kept track of how many days it had been since I contacted my ex. Needed that so I wouldn’t fall into old patterns. Mends downfall is that it does not track any of the data that you give it each day. Show me a graph for check ins and self care. I want to see if I’m improving, what I do on my good days that makes me feel good, and if Sundays are really the days I get hung up. Also, if you skip a day, you don’t “unlock” any new trainings for the days you missed. This felt like wasted money to me. I went camping for a weekend and did not have service. Essentially I paid for those days of mend, but missed those trainings because I could not log in. Not sure if that makes sense, but if you pay for 30 days and only log in 1 day, you only get 1 day. It doesn’t seem fair to me. This might just be me, but after about that 2 months of using mend, I was really done with it. Mend became a constant reminder that I was broken up. Initially it helped me to move on, but then when I really needed to let go, it held me back. I paid for 3 months though, so I felt bad wasting the money if I didn’t use it. Overall, I’m glad I got this app. It helped me to move on when I felt very stuck. It needs some huge improvements before it is worth the $$$ though.
