Ratings and reviews

Tests lead to spam sites suggesting quack treatments (pills?!) and weight loss. Tranquility exercise stressing how important it is to only select thoughts that give me "mild" anxiety sent me into a tailspin. If my thoughts only caused "mild" anxiety and distress, I wouldn't need the help. Made me feel worse and looked ugly, to boot. Blech.

A simple yet effective app!! Convenient and easy to use. Combining well established treatment methods with IT in creating this virtual treatment is a brilliant idea. Keep it up!!

You guys have done a great job...please continue with your great work...service to mankind is service to god...this app will help many people who are suffering from OCD...thanks again...
