Well- though design choices including fonts, colors, and visual elements. Using emojis, colors/gradient makes it more engaging. Love the use of diverse set of design elements and features. The visual design is the strongest part of your project.
You could have more unique features, especially because the mental health space is already being crowded with similar apps- think of ways you could serve the same overall purposes but in different ways. Would've loved to see some gamification elements like badges, rewards, e.t.c. Some minor design improvements could make this app even better, like: having a quick social login options for better user converting, having a clear dashboard in the home section and rather using a hamburger menu/bottom navigation/tab bar for other features. Certain elements like mood tracker or check ins could be an automatic quick popups every time a user opens the app rather then it being a little hidden so more data summarized. Be mindful of the visibility of text through color contrast.
Overall beautifully planned and designed application. Well done Marlenie, Daniary, and Leslie!

I absolutely love the images and graphics. They truly visually represent the purpose of your app. The brain image with a content smile made me feel peaceful. The Figma shows a well thought out UX/UI.
I'd recommend considering how you'd make your app stand out among all the other 'mental health' apps out there. With some market research ask yourself "what are these apps missing?", "what can I provide that others can't?" or "what can I do better than those other apps", "what users am I trying to attract that don't have anything yet?".
