Ratings and reviews

Excellent tool in managing anxiety. Could definitely be improved by reducing the world limit on thoughts and behaviour experiments It does appear though belief experiments history is lost. This is a poor feature because the purpose is to allow users to review over time their experiments. Had I known I wouldn't be able to acces them I'd use another app.

Great app & excellent tools, plus it doesn't ask for unnecessary access to everything on my phone, bonus! Some parts could be construed as simplistic & I can see how the explanations might sound patronising but the beauty of this is that it's simple. It isn't trying to be so involved that it becomes overwhelming in times of difficulty. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is they need to rethink the call option, the numbers are for Canada/US only. Plus it'd be better if you could add personal no's.

This app is great and was recommended by the person whom I am doing cbt with. Obviously my anxiety cannot just dissappear with one hearing in the "Chill zone" but (if you are doing cbt) this is a such a good way to track your progress which you can just email with a button. One thing that would make this 5 stars is if it was easier to find certain things? The app is great however there are so many buttons that sometime I don't know where I am!! Other than that it is fantastic - would reccomend.
