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

Too many ads, almost everything is paywalled; the few free things are rlly helpful for panic attacks, but thats it. The AI basically just keeps repeating the same stuff (yes I know, diffuse, allow, run towards... you don't have to keep telling me!) and the way it has a little animation when you click into the app is a hindrance, especially if you're having a panic attack and every second feels like forever.

I used to use this app a lot more than I do now. That was only because I was struggling with my anxiety and panic attacks so badly that when I stumbled upon the book, it changed my life completely! I had a different perspective on anxiety and finally realized that I was "losing it" or "going crazy". So many people struggle with crippling anxiety such as myself, this App will completely remove any anxious thoughts, especially ones that aren't realistic and helps replace them with healthy ones!!
