Read what our users say: “Took a chance with this app, and I’m so glad I did! It’s honestly amazing and the best anxiety app I’ve tried. The ‘Evening Wind Down’ is the absolute best, and I love how the app has so many different tools and meditations! Highly recommend DARE!” - StacyS

“This is one of the only apps I’ve continued to pay premium for. It’s truly helped me come off that ledge of anxiety and learn new coping mechanisms that therapy hadn’t even taught me. I love this app, and I love the people that run it. Thank you for what you do.” - Aschom

“20 years of fighting anxiety on my own, not knowing what’s going on with me… until I got this app. It’s changed the way I fight this THING forever. Thank you for all the work you do.” - Glitchb1

“DARE is a lifesaver. I recently started using it, but it’s already helped me more than my therapist. The advice and the DARE response are great, but for me, the best are the deep relief and insomnia recordings—they help me go to sleep.” - MartinB

“I was sceptical of the claim that within 3 days you’d see improvements, but I have an incredible set of tools. I can’t imagine not having this app now.” - RebeccaM

Actually really helps! I've been struggling with panic disorder on and off since I was in middle school. Using this app is finally helping me work through these feelings, not by pushing them away, but by running towards and accepting them. I haven't read the book, but I want to. The combo of emergency sessions that I've used when dealing with flying or panic attacks with daily lessons is perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to finally move past fear and embrace life fully

Loved the book. The method has been literal live saving. The app was a great companion and helper to keep my progress moving forward. One star off for the disappointing way they handle subscriptions. I paid for a year, with my subscription renewing October 8th. Unfortunately I can't afford it this time around so I cancelled it a month in advance. Even though I have a month left, that I've paid for, I no longer have access to content in the app. Very disappointing.

I have looked and looked for a app to helpme but to no avail. Then this one popped up. What a godsend!!! Its like having a therapist on call 24/7! I have many mental issues. I need to learn how to handle these and that is just what this app does! The audios help me so much! Just having someone talking to me, guiding me , I have hope now :) there is a variety of audios from teaching you how to deal to emergency audio that reassures you that you will be okay!
