Features & Capabilities

Just Checking In is a private daily emotional check-in app for staying connected with family, friends, and trusted supporters. Share how you feel with one tap, build an emotional wellness habit, review mood history, and communicate through private in-app chat.

Create a trusted circle, set custom reminders, and enable missed check-in notifications when needed. Premium adds extended history, annual check-in patterns, multiple scheduled check-ins, and SMS alerts for a chosen contact—even if they do not use the app. Vacation Mode lets you pause reminders while traveling or offline. Just Checking In supports connection and peace of mind; it is not therapy, medical care, an emergency service, or a crisis line.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app's concept and core features—easy mood tracking, a support circle for accountability, and flexible reminders that help users stay connected. The app's simplicity is a plus for people living away from loved ones. However, recurring issues include reminders failing to deliver, clunky navigation/onboarding, and occasional instability. The pricing model—many features behind a subscription—is a common concern, and users want more content, prompts, and analytics. Overall, it's a promising, approachable mental health tool with room to improve reliability and depth.
Pros
  • Simple, easy-to-use interface.
  • Effective mood tracking with a history and journaling notes.
  • Strong circle feature for accountability and welfare checks.
  • Customizable reminders and multiple check-ins.
  • Helpful for people living apart from loved ones to stay connected.
Cons
  • Reminders/notifications unreliable, leading to missed check-ins.
  • Navigation and onboarding can be clunky or unclear; occasional instability.
  • Many useful features gated behind a paid subscription; pricing considered high.
  • Limited features currently available; desire for more education resources, prompts, and analytics.

Easy way to stay updated on how friends and family are doing!

I subscribed to the app so I could have friends and family get notifications without downloading the app. I was diligent about checking in daily, but somewhere along the line I stopped getting reminders and missed a couple of days. No one got the text alert. I got back on the habit of checking but again daily reminders kinda stopped and I missed a few days this time, again no one got their alert. I’m very upset to have spent money on the app thinking it was helping and it didn’t work.
