Awesome App!

I like how the app makes facing fears fun!

Broken

The "game" where you tap itsy's feet just never actually happens. Also, it's weird how there's no music or sound effects. All around, a total waste of $4. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE. IT DOESNT EVEN WORK PROPERLY, LET ALONE HELP YOU OVERCOME ARACHNOPHOBIA.

Good start

This app is off to a pretty good start but there is a lot of room for improvement. The constant asking to rate yourself is annoying, and it's hard to give yourself a pre-rating when you haven't seen the spider yet. I've just been marking random ratings. The relaxation techniques are very helpful. It would be nice to see more level 3 situations with a different variety of spiders to simulate what people actually encounter. I don't see many tarantulas running around my house, but I have encountered wolf spiders, black spiders, and brown spiders of varying size. More variety would be great. Thanks!

I really hoped this app would help with my phobia but hearing the intro numerous times in attempt to open the app did not help.
