## What is BilateralBase?

An optimised EMDR therapy experience for iPad and iPhone users.
If you are doing online sessions with your therapist using an iPad or iPhone, you should install this app to ensure all therapy tools are available and the session is optimised for your device.

Once the app is installed, simply tap on the session invite link provided by your therapist to join the session using the app.

We recommend that you connect a pair of wired headphones to your device for your session (or you can use the built-in speaker if you are not using auditory stimulus as part of your therapy - please ask your therapist if unsure about this).
Wireless headphones are not currently compatible with this app.

This app is not intended for use by therapists. If you are a therapist then please access Bilateral Base using the website.

### 3/5 — Good for bls but needs improvement

*2024-04-20, version 5.1.2*

App is worse than logging on from a browser
From a clinician’s perspective: I wish it allowed more than one client to join the video session. That way I can share my iPad screen or do family sessions when needed. Also, the function of blurring/changing background should be added. The bilateral stimulation works really well and makes my life easy.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2023-06-20, version 4.2.11*

Despite working fine with Chrome on my usual device (for medical reasons, I couldn’t use a laptop this week as I needed to be lying down flat) Bilateral Base disables auditory stimuli when using a mobile device and thus makes the user install the app. The app then goes out of its way to disable Bluetooth headphones, meaning that you have to connect wired… which with my specialist headphones uses a standard aux to aux cable. Since my phone came with lightning headphones and thus no adaptor for an aux cable, and since disability means I don’t have the option of the visual stimuli, my EMDR session had to be cancelled ten minutes in since it couldn’t actually proceed. As developers have to deliberately disable the Bluetooth connection, there appears to be a degree of wilful kneecapping of the app’s ability to do what it is meant to do.
