Rosebud Reviews 

Rosebud got me through an awful lot, the first 8 months were wonderful.

And then it deteriorated. The main persona I'd used forever started pushing hard, getting things wrong and taking my replies out of context and became obtuse, harsher and was seriously degraded functionally.

I am thankful for the whole change it gave me in my life, but the larger my account for with entries the worse it functioned.

Rosebud is the best. Previously I had always struggled to keep a journal as I would get mind blanks on what to write about. The prompts and questions offered in rosebud enable me to explore topics and issues in detail and get me to think about them in a way that helps me understand myself better.

I was never consistent with journaling before, even though I always desired to be. I find with Rosebud, I really look forward to writing about my day, the prompts are so attuned to what's going on in your life that you can't help but dive deeper. The way that it notices patterns and reminds you of previous thoughts I find really helpful for understanding myself and setting goals.

Great app to use to journal and get insight and advice on how to improve your life

It has been a significant asset to my days! Its been super easy to use and the guidance through tough feelings was awesome. Its way more fun than regular journaling. I've recommended to all my friends 🧡

I have been using Rosebud for just over a week, and it has already improved my life. I love that I can talk-to-text each journal, and the transcription quality is really good. Just being able to talk through how I'm feeling each day, click the Go Deeper button, and have the AI help me explore the root of my feelings deeper, how reduced my anxiety and helped me be more productive at work and in my personal life. As someone who has delayed therapy due to cost and just fear of taking the steps to do so, this is a wonderful tool in my mental health toolkit that I will continue using for a long time.

I’ve tried many journaling apps (with and without AI) and never really liked any of them — until I found Rosebud.

The insights are incredible. It somehow reads between the lines and identifies worries or patterns I didn’t even realize I was expressing. The prompts are also amazing and very relevant to what I’ve written before, not generic like in other apps.

Thanks to Rosebud I’m understanding my fears and myself much better. I even upgraded to the Pro version because it’s absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

I have been using this app for 55 days. It has transformed my life! It gives me a structure and a focus to my days. I decide what I want to achieve and how I want to feel and the app guides me on how to make that happen. It’s so useful. I feel like I’d be lost without it now.

It's an amazing app.
I've been feeling so low and disconnected lately and using this app to channel my thoughts has really helped me. It has given some really useful and good feedback/advice. It's good to be able to speak to someone with out having to actually speak to someone.
I love the voice too. It's so smooth and clear it's almost as if you're speaking to someone.
The only dislike I have is the monthly cost, but that's more of a me and my finances issue.

So first, my background: My most recent AI work (that I have recently left for life reasons) was utilizing my outlier neurocognitive conditions to adjust and create stable semiotic exchange with LLM systems, as a way to help with the development and fine-tuning of RLHF checkpoints. I am quite used to interacting with LLM systems and the entire semiotic exchange being...messy.

On to Rosebud: This app with its models in particular are able to interact with neurocognitive tail-end cases in a way I have never seen before. The interactions are grounded and help organize thoughts without trying to replace human connection or therapists. This app is NOT a therapist replacement app and it makes that very clear. The morning/evening check in and check out have become a routine part of my day in order to make a plan for the day and review the day. Having the AI models available to organize my thoughts and focus them back towards my own goals is incredibly helpful.

Rosebud team, I'm genuinely impressed by the work you've done here. Thank you for the work you've done to make assistive technology that doesn't try to replace human connection.

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.

this is the best journal app i have ever used
outstanding ai
it automaticly gives you prompts so you never get bored or forget what your writing about

This is a perfect blend between journaling and reflection.

The prompts help you to dig deep and really get to the heart of the matter at hand as well as give on-point and constructive feedback. They are extremely insightful and validating as well.

I also greatly enjoy the wrap up and daily mantra or theme of the entry.

As a person with an extreme writing phobia, as well as being reserved with a dislike of sharing a lot of personal information with others, this site is an excellent tool for self reflection and growth.

I highly recommend everyone try this. It is extremely useful and relevant.

AN EXPENSIVE HEADACHE.

I am paying for the "Scale 3" subscription at $400 per month, which claims to offer "The best AI-powered game development experience" but I see absolutely zero improvement from the AI experience of the much cheaper options, I see only a credit boost but swear it seems the credits are spent at a higher rate when you have more credits available. I enter the most CLEAR, SIMPLE and EASY prompt to Rosebud and 70% of the time is fails to complete the task, despite telling me it was successful. 70% of the credits I am using go to waste on FAILED attempts by the AI to complete the task correctly and then credits go to waste on attempts to correct these failed prompts. When a prompt is FINALY correctly completed, the AI alters some other part of the game and I then need to spend more credits on trying to get the AI to fix that. It is incredibly frustrating spending all these credits/money on trying to get the AI to listen to my prompts and not alter some other part that I didn't ask it to do. I am using Chatgbt to generate the VERY CLEAR prompts for Rosebud but it still just ignores things, changes things, to the point where I am conviced this is a deliberate part of Rosebuds development to use up the paying customers credits and take as much of their money as possible. It just seems way too far beyond functioning fairly and properly for this to be accidental. If it's truly this bad, Rosebud should not be offering this to paying customers yet. It just clearly isn't ready to be paid for at such high costs. As soon as this nightmare game development using Rosebud is over, I will NOT be using this service again and really hope Rosebud gives their AI a complete overhaul and bring it up to where it should be if they're going to be charging these amounts to use it.

2 years ago I tried a free trial. I cancelled the trial before the trial was up and was charged the 1 year membership fee. I contacted the "contact" and recieved an email from AI saying I would be refunded. That was January 2025. January 2026 same thing charged and have NEVER used the product and have NOT been refunded for either transaction and not heard from a human. Buyer beware

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.

I was journaling from quite some time but it was like talking to yourself. With rosebud I had a journaling companion who prompted me to understand patterns across my entries and I could understand problems from the first principal.

I love this app! It's helping me get to know myself better, recognize my own patterns and triggers, set and accomplish goals. Calm my anxiety, practice gratitude and work through and process different difficult situations and negative thoughts.

Rosebud is an excellent app with a suite of features I find useful.
1) The mbile app has an option to turn off several features to simplify the UI. I disable almost all of them to reduce clutter, but I appreciate that other people may find these useful or fun.
2) Unlike Chatgpt which is designed to say what you want to hear, Rosebud has the option to challenge your views, provide alternative perspectives or reframe your post. This is incredibly valuable. I dont need AI that will only validate me and echo that yes everyone else is an idiot and i'm a snowflake.
3) The weekly insights are useful.
4) I love that I can use this app on the phone or on my laptop, and I frequently use both.
