This app is just so perfect! The whole content stems from an adept understanding of the concept of depression, especially, the feelings and experiences of a depressed fellow. The mindfulness part is super-dope. I really love it. Sorry, don't wanna be selfish, but I would've rated it 5 if the audios were made offline. Would prefer it if the app were larger in size owing to offline audios rather than streaming it online every time I need it. Great work though! š

Unlike all the other CBT apps that charge a hefty subscription fee, this app is COMPLETELY FREE in it's entirety (with ads) FOREVER. It doesn't have the flashy cartoon characters like the others, however it has all the tools and information you need. I'm really glad I found this and appreciate the developers and Dr Frank for putting so much effort towards making CBT accessable to everyone

I love this app. I've read the articles and I frequently listen to the audios. The audios are very helpful, I can use strategies to improve mindfulness, calm down or be uplifted and to help me fall asleep.
