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

what I really like about this app is it's simplicity, clear ways to navigate. It has helped me through many hardships and is still where I go when I need some help. the main narrator (Irish accent male) is so calming for me and my preferred. After almost three years with this app, I can do meditations by myself, I can escape panic attacks and calm down myself in hard situations. the approach is amazing and more focused compared to other apps like "calm".

I have suffered with various forms of anxiety most of my life. I ended up with addiction issues as a result. The DARE is great! I had plenty of tools and information, but the app and its content gave a simple and effective point of call to manage my anxiety. I have been living much better since getting the app in December. I was in a complete mess before. I'm not cured; I don't believe that's the solution anymore. I no longer get crippled by anxiety and panic attacks, which is amazing!

Nice premise, but £8.99 a month is faaaar too expensive, if it was £1 sure but my gym membership costs 9.99. I wouldn't even mind paying 8.99 for a one off. But for that price per month I could get an audible membership or kindle unlimited. Just compare the amount of difference in content that 8.99 can get you. I'd really reconsider the price guys it is alot per month. There is not enough content on the app to charge 8.99 per month. You would get alot more custom otherwise. Sorry.
