Is Liven: Discover yourself a scam?
Recent reviews give prospective users strong reasons to be cautious. Reviewers repeatedly describe Liven: Discover yourself as scam-like because of unexpected subscription renewals, unclear pricing, difficulty cancelling, and refund refusals. That does not prove legal fraud, but the pattern in these reviews is serious enough that users should avoid entering payment details unless they are comfortable tracking renewal dates and cancellation outside the app.
SCAM. terrible app with unclear subscription policy to scam you for money. first of all when I signed up it looked like it was a one time payment. tried it for a day, realized it is useless and not helpful at all, deleted the app under an impression it was a one time payment. later on got a notification that I have been charged for 3 months, and it was the second time I was charged that sum, however the first time I wasn't even notified. not sure how they have a good rating on here..
Beware! its close enough to a scam! I wanted to try it as they were offering a really good discounted price. But that was just a bait to automatically bill me a high sum 3 months later! When I subscribed, they said they would notify me before the renewal, but of course they never notified me, then charged me almost 4x the amount of what I paid initially. As soon as I got billed I contacted them, but they refused to issue a refund (how convenient). And their chat bot is no better than chat gpt
Predatory billing & useless app! The content inside Liven is complete clickbait—low quality and a total waste of time. Worse, they auto-debited ₹8,476 from my account without notice. When I immediately requested a refund for an unused account with zero logins, support hid behind rigid fine print, stating they charge for "access, not usage," and refused to refund a single rupee. Save your hard-earned money and stay far away from Liven!

Does Liven: Discover yourself charge after the trial or initial plan without warning?
Yes, this is one of the clearest themes in the reviews. Reviewers say they thought they had bought a trial, introductory plan, or one-time access, then were charged again later without a reminder or clear warning. Some also say the renewal price was much higher than the initial offer.
App itself is ok. Company ethics not ok! Shady billing and high prices. I signed up for free trial & used the app for a couple of weeks & was unsure whether it was any use for me. I stupidly assumed that a company supposedly focused on well-being would have the decency and morals to give a reminder that the trial period was about to expire and that they were about to bill me. They did not! I have now been stung a whopping $122.25 for 3 months subscription and they will not reimburse. Be careful
Terrible. you will not be notified when the trial ends and you will be billed an extortionate amount automatically for three months after the trial. I did not use the app and now have to pay for not using it for the next three months. Feels like a scam.
I'm another one who received a surprising $99 charge. I haven't even used the app since the trial. No reminder email or any communication to advise the charge. The subscription wasn't listed in Google or Paypal so no way for me to proactively check. Pretty frustrating! Not worth signing up and risking unexpected charges. Support said there was nothing they can do. UPDATE: from message below, same response - nothing they can do. Rip off.

How do you cancel Liven: Discover yourself?
The store description says premium subscriptions renew automatically and can be turned off in Google Play settings after purchase. However, recent reviewers say cancellation was confusing: some report that Liven did not appear in Google Play subscriptions, that cancelling through Google Play did not stop charges, or that cancellation required multiple confirmations including email.
Based on the reviews, users should not assume uninstalling the app or deleting it stops billing. Reviewers suggest checking both the Liven account or website and the payment platform used to subscribe, then confirming that renewal is actually cancelled.
Cancel prescription on the Liven website by logging in. Cancelling on Google play doesn't cancel it. Just another way to con money out of people with extra steps to cancel. took 2 months off me at over £50 a month and I'd deleted the app and thought it was cancelled via Google play. Definitely not a therapeutic experience. edit: I sent an email as suggested by the reply to this post but they didn't offer any help or compensation. They just said I could use the app for the month I've paid for.
Overall, I liked the app. It is easy and convenient to use, especially the journal, analysis, and advice features. However, two things were frustrating: after downloading it through an ad, logging into my account was confusing and I had to complete the questionnaire three times. Also, cancelling my subscription required five confirmations, including one by email, which felt excessive.
like others who have used this app, I didn't even end up using it, I thought I signed up for a trial not a subscription, I was just billed 94 dollars thats pending until 8/6/26. canceling on the site is impossible, contacted help, they canceled my subscription but did not refund the 94 dollars. if I could give zer stats to these scammers I would. said my subscription was good until whenever it ended,. what a joke. Buyer beware. super scammy,

Does Liven: Discover yourself give refunds?
Reviewers commonly say refund requests were denied, even when they contacted support soon after a renewal, had not used the renewed period, or believed they had cancelled. Several reviews describe support pointing to policy language rather than issuing a refund.
Be very careful with this subscription. I forgot to cancel it because I had stopped using the app. As soon as I noticed the renewal charge, I canceled the subscription and contacted support within hours. I had not used the renewed subscription at all, but they still refused to issue a refund, referring only to their policy. If you subscribe, don't expect any flexibility if you accidentally miss the renewal.
I paid for what I understood to be a one-month trial of the app. I was then automatically enrolled in a subscription and presented with additional paid options. When I tried to close the page by clicking the “X,” I was charged for an additional content that I never intended to purchase. I contacted customer support within minutes of noticing the charge, and I had not used the content. Despite this, they refused to issue a refund. This billing process is extremely misleading and unacceptable.
my money is stuck because of their dubious policy, *DO NOT BELIEVE IN THEIR 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!!* They force you to use the App for 7 days to make you "eligible" for refund. Shame on you. for duping people with mental health challenges for profit.

Is Liven: Discover yourself worth paying for?
The reviews are mostly negative on value. Reviewers describe the content as repetitive, text-heavy, boring, or not tailored enough, especially compared with the price they were charged. There is some positive feedback about the journal, analysis, advice features, and ease of use, but even a favorable reviewer still complained about login and cancellation friction.
The billing confuses me. it said something like I paid $97. dont think I agreed to that in clear terms. Got to hand it to the people doing the advertising because they built this up. Reality is that It was like an endless outline or school reading assignment over and over. Extremely boring. I don't learn that way personally. However that is the only option here or pay more to talk to someone. Basically finding out how much it really cost and not getting anything out of it made me more stressed.
Don't fall to the trap It was good for 9 weeks only, after that it's boring nothing new... They charged me for renewal without asking... It became most boring app... Same questions, rarely some new article... I've arrived to last step several weeks ago and nothing new... Now they charged me 92$ for another boring 3 months offering nothing new.... Very disappointed and frustrated... Sorry to say that I was scammed 😞

Is Liven: Discover yourself good for ADHD or neurodivergent users?
Reviews are mixed but lean cautionary for ADHD and neurodivergent users. One reviewer said it seemed geared toward people who think they may have ADHD and liked the gamified tools. Other reviewers said it was not helpful for ADHD, too busy for a neurodivergent disorder, or that post-purchase add-ons were a deal-breaker for people with ADHD.
Not helpful for ADHD. Gets very boring
too busy for someone for with a neurodivergent disorder. also not a very understanding customer service.
seems to be geared to people who "think" they may have ADHD... Great way to explore and use their tools which are gamified.

Does Liven: Discover yourself work properly, or does it have bugs?
Some reviewers report technical and usability problems, including confusing login after an ad, having to repeat the questionnaire, being stuck on a loading screen, crashes, a slow keyboard, and not being able to copy messages. These complaints are separate from the billing issues and suggest the app experience may be frustrating for some users.

Is Liven: Discover yourself suitable if you need serious mental health help?
The app’s own description says Liven is for general mindfulness guidance, is not a substitute for professional medical care, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent health conditions. Reviews support taking that warning seriously: at least one reviewer said that after journaling, the app simply told them to contact emergency services and did not meet the needs of someone in more serious distress.
Can I given Zero stars. Unfortunetely, after completing the intake stuff and then my first 'Journal', the Liven App just said you need to contact emergency services in your state. App does not cater for those more in need than discovering themselves. I gave it the 3 months after trial. I know I cancelled, but you continued to take $120 this month. Now Ive been kicked out. Your product is not fit for the purpose when those in real need are just told to call EMS. not happy. I want a refund
Predatory and dark marketing schemes. Stop taking advantage of mental illness for imorally gained profit...
my money is stuck because of their dubious policy, *DO NOT BELIEVE IN THEIR 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!!* They force you to use the App for 7 days to make you "eligible" for refund. Shame on you. for duping people with mental health challenges for profit.

Does Liven: Discover yourself push add-ons or extra purchases?
Yes, some reviewers say they were shown extra paid options after subscribing or purchasing and felt the flow made it too easy to be charged for something they did not intend to buy. This is a distinct complaint from the recurring subscription problem and is another reason to be careful when tapping through purchase screens.
I paid for what I understood to be a one-month trial of the app. I was then automatically enrolled in a subscription and presented with additional paid options. When I tried to close the page by clicking the “X,” I was charged for an additional content that I never intended to purchase. I contacted customer support within minutes of noticing the charge, and I had not used the content. Despite this, they refused to issue a refund. This billing process is extremely misleading and unacceptable.
right after you purchase they hit you up for add-ons. for people with ADHD this is a deal-breaker! it's a bullshite way to try to get revenue. at least give the customer some value first before you hit them up for money
My mental health is suffering BECAUSE of this company. I almost never give a horrible review, but this company is absolutely atrocious. After signing up, I wanted to buy the books at the huge discount. When I clicked the button, I was charged almost $300 for the books. Immediately, I reached out for a refund, or at worst case, the discounted price. Like others, they just point to the Terms of Service. If a company TRULY cares for its users, wouldn't they put people over profit? AVOID 🙏🏽

Is Liven: Discover yourself customer support helpful?
The reviews give a poor picture of support, especially around billing. Reviewers say support denied refunds, sent automated ticket confirmations, responded slowly, or only repeated policy language. A few reviews also describe rude or unhelpful responses after payment disputes.
One of the worst apps and customer service experiences I've had. They keep denying my refund despite my repeated requests. I'm in genuine need of this money, but there has been no proper support or resolution. This has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. I would not recommend this app to anyone until they improve their customer service and refund process.
CAUTION: DON'T fall for the payment scheme for their courses. Once you enter your payment details, the system AUTO-DEDUCTS money, and despite repeated attempts to contact them, I received NO RESPONSE or CUSTOMER SUPPORT. NOTE: NO ONE RESPONDS TO THE QUERY SENT ON ANY OF THE LIVEN APP E-MAIL. There's a ticket raised. that's all.
I was auto-charged despite cancelling immediately. I never used the app or any premium features, yet my refund request was ignored. Customer support only sends automated ticket confirmations and never responds. Based on my experience and many similar reviews, I'd strongly advise against entering your payment details. Very disappointing. They do reply saying email on this but it's useless no resolution.
