Ratings and reviews

So far it's been great. It breaks the exercises into small manageable steps. I've only used the app for a few days, so I'm starting with 4 stars, but I have a feeling that will become 5 stars in the near future. If you start working on one problem (like anxiety) and decide that you would rather work on depression, just leave a message for your coach. They can help. Of course, it's much easier to select the program that you most need. This is great UPMC service. Way to go, developers.

It gives me positive reforcement and great ideas on how to achieve my goals.

Login frequently breaks. It will prompt for a new account until you click "I already have one" but won't save your login credentials to google password manager. This happens even when you click on a notification from the app. And the password recovery/reset option is too difficult to use. Edit: replying to developer, I have biometrics set up. But clicking on notifications logs out of app completely and biometrics don't work from there. Already reinstalled app, it's a bug on your end.
