Meh

The sound isn’t very loud even when adjusted and “options” are repetitive. Also flash is an auditory flash not visual

Very good EMDR app

Good sounds and easy to use controls and interface. I love the sleep mode function.

Useful tool, but needs more sound options and preset time options.

I downloaded this app as a tool to use with my clients now that we are exclusively doing video-therapy during the pandemic. I like how basic and easy to use this is. I especially like the $.99 price, as I will be asking my clients to buy it. The preset time limits are too short for the BLS as well as Flash. I don’t feel there should be a time limit on either of those, as the user can press stop when the therapist tells them to. For the sleep setting, the 30 minute time frame is fine. I also would like to see more options for sound. I would prefer to be able to choose from beeps/tones in addition to the clicks.

Feedback for a future update other than what I suggested above would be to allow for an external music source to use with Flash (or sleep), with the clicks/tones to be layered over it. Once a client learns Flash, it is an excellent tool that can use on their own. However, I have found having them listen to “happy music“ is more effective than just thinking of something positive- which can be difficult when someone is anxious. I like the quickened tones that indicate when they user should blink. I would also like to see an option where the therapist can choose how frequently the quickened tones are played.

Overall, I think this is a good app that will allow any therapist trained in EMDR and Flash to enhance their video-therapy sessions.
