As someone interested in AI for mental health, here’s my honest feedback:
1. I reviewed your Meta Ads activity over the past few months and noticed that you are not promoting the app itself, but rather a survey website targeting people in vulnerable mental states. To access the survey results, users are required to link a weekly auto-renewable subscription to their card. This doesn’t seem aligned with mental health support to me.
2. I tested the app itself, and unfortunately the chatbot conversation glitches and disconnects every 2–3 minutes. On top of that, it is impossible to complete the onboarding process without first purchasing a subscription.
3. For transparency, could you clarify how user data is handled? In some documents I saw that the Lovon app is owned by Ticket to the Moon Inc., in others I saw some Babayaga Inc. Can you clarify the structure and who is responsible for the security of user data?
@mark_rozman interesting opinion, Mark! Even though you have doubts, we appreciate it a lot! Thank you!
Jfyi 1) in US sessions can cost up to $300/hour, and we're providing services 10 times cheaper with the same or even better quality (and safety!) 2) you can get a free trial in the app, so please enjoy it any time!
Very interesting idea, AI therapy with voice is very meaningful in today's world. I like the concept of having someone to talk to anytime without pressure.
But I think the AI's voice is very, very important in this product. The tone, feeling, and sound quality can change the whole experience. It should be customizable or different for each user, because everyone feels comfortable differently.

@bahricanyesil Hey Bahrican! Thank you for warm words! Customization is on the list, we are working really hard to give users personalized experience!
Congrats on the launch! I've tried a few AI therapy apps before and they all felt like talking to a search engine. The voice-first approach sounds like it could actually change that. Downloading now
@gabriel_s_souza Thanks Gabriel! Yes - we built Lovon around CBT and Emotion-Focused Therapy as core frameworks. Our PhD psychologist (40+ years clinical practice) shaped how Anna responds to help you identify patterns and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts rather than just validate everything.
Have you tried any therapy approaches yourself - curious what's worked for you?
Congrats on the launch! I'm all for anything and everything in regards to improving mental health. I’m curious though, how does this differ from creating a dedicated project in ChatGPT with a specific instruction sets? For example, setting it to be less agreeable, focus on identifying moments of crisis, and then just interacting through voice?
@lunarturtle Great question! The key difference is our therapeutic engine was built from the ground up with a clinical psychologist, not just prompting a general LLM. We use evidence-based frameworks (CBT, EFT) with structured therapeutic techniques, crisis detection systems, and context memory that actually tracks your emotional patterns over time - not just chat history.
Have you tried using ChatGPT for mental health support? Would love to hear how that's worked for you!
Love the concept and also the fact that this app can work as a copilot, without replacing the therapist. I wonder if it was possible for the therapists to give it inputs somehow. Cheers!!
@yulianazarenko Love this idea about therapist input! We've been thinking about how real therapists could collaborate with Lovon - definitely something we'll explore. Thank you!
Are you a therapist yourself, or would you use this feature as a client to keep your human therapist in the loop?
@ponikarovskii I'm on a lengthy therapy, Gestalt + existential frameworks - so I'm not 100% sure it would fit my trajectory -- but I'd absolutely amplify my therapy with it

I would not recommend Lovon.

@ikalimullin Would love for you to try it! Use code PH2026 for a free week (or just tap link on the launch page).
What are you most curious to test - the voice conversations or how it handles deeper emotional stuff?

@ikalimullin Thanks a lot, Ilnur! Appreciate!

@solodnev Thanks so much! That 'search engine' vibe is exactly what we built Lovon to solve - voice makes all the difference.
Would love to hear your thoughts after trying it! What's been the biggest gap in other AI therapy apps you've used?
Fundraisly
@ponikarovskii The biggest gap for me has been depth. Most apps give surface-level reflections but don’t really follow emotional threads over time.

@ponikarovskii @solodnev true! thank you for your opinion!
Great application, congratulations! Is the agent based on any specific psychotherapeutic approach?
