good
good! just lots of adds sometimes
Helps a lot
Clean for 13 days!!! I’m really of myself
One thing I would like to see…
I think this app is really good. My favorite thing is having a daily track and that it analyzes it and makes graphs and pie charts. One thing however that this app could improve, is the idea of a calm urge button. They have the right idea, but maybe having more things in there that are positive and helpful for a time of struggle. But overall I really like this app.

I never write reveiws for apps unless they are this good!
Honesty, tracking wise, it’s not the best app. If you want an app to journal how each day went, your progress tracking, how long you’ve been clean, journaling ECT I would recommend a different app. However, the reason I’m writing this review is because of the calm down section, it’s genuinely so good and immediately put my mind at ease. I 1000% recommend it for it’s calm down game section. It helped me stay clean, relaxes your mind, helps you think straight. So good.
My only problem is that I wish the drawing tools were a a bit more advanced, and you could at least blend the colors but I digress

IT HELP ME SO MUCH
U NEED THE APP NEW! As someone who did self harm it helped me so much
It’s okay
I can’t hear anything on the app but works good
Calm urge self harming
I love this app a lot ever since i got it for my self harm I have been doing better ever since,I think it's helpful because it tracks when I do it and when I don't and I have been clean for two days so far and only two days because I just downloaded it.
I discovered this app when I searched for something similar on my apps on my iPhone anyways I love this and I would use it in my after life also!!!!!

My opinion
This app has gotten me through some really rough times, being able to see how long you have been clean is refreshing and having the calm urge thing where you can pop bubble wrap and so on is very helpful.
Good app but typing feature won’t work
The free version of the app is pretty good compared to other apps I tried. I like that it gives you a “calm urge” section that has little games to help take your mind off of sh but for some reason, whenever I try to use the features that require typing such as the Journal or daily message feature I can’t see what I’m typing.

Great but recent update is buggy
This app has really been a lifesaver for me in my mental health journey. But the recent update kind of messed up some things.
The fonts are all different now (idk if that was intentional or not).
More importantly the journaling feature on the daily track page is broken. I can see the box where the words are supposed to go but I can’t see the words themselves!! The journaling feature was one of the reasons I really stuck with this app so this is a relatively major obstacle. Kinda disappointed :(

This app is good but wtf! Why is there premium?!? That’s messed up
Significant challenges, but also potential
All things considered, I unfortunately am giving this app a 2.5/5 rating. While there are lot of strengths and potential benefits to be gained from the general premise of the app, there are a lot of issues in its execution in my opinion. One major flaw of the free version of the app is that there are ads that frequently interrupt the user. They are long and very disruptive to me, as an adult who is not at risk of harming myself while utilizing the app. For a young, more impulsive person who is actively thinking of harming themselves and looking for instant relief, this is a huge issue.
From a neuroscience perspective, the limbic system (which is the social emotional part of the brain) undergoes a large shift at the time puberty occurs (Laser & Nicotera, 2021). This happens around age 12-14 and can lead a young person to seek more sensations and short-term gratification. Additionally, the prefrontal cortex begins maturing later on in the teen years. This can mean the social-emotional part of the brain is highly active without oversight from the decision-making, impulse-control part of the brain (Laser & Nicotera, 2021). Mindfulness activities and an emergency contact function are only useful to an adolescent if they can provide an immediate alternative to self-harm. The 30 seconds required to wait through an ad might be what tips an adolescent with poor impulse-control user over the edge.
The app also generally looks cheaply made and is not very visually appealing. There are also major concerns with the privacy policy, as the creator states that users under age 13 are not meant to be using the app and that their data should therefore not be saved. However, when registering the app on one’s phone, the user has the option to select “<12” as their age group, and can still use all the functions on the app within this age group.
While it is certainly flawed, the app is not all bad. The premise of it is incredibly important, as around 23% of adolescents have, at some point, engaged in self-harm behaviors (Laser & Nicotera, 2021). The app’s “Daily Track” function asks simple, direct questions to the user about whether or not they have harmed themselves, how they felt throughout the day, and what their major concerns were that day. With adolescents, it is generally best practice to be direct in questioning about whether or not self-harm is happening, how frequently it is occurring, etc (Laser & Nicotera, 2021). Additionally, the ability to share this data from the app directly to a therapist could be really helpful for a clinician working with adolescents, as they likely only see each client for about an hour a week. This way, the young person would not have to try to remember how they felt and acted each day throughout the week. Instead, they can pass along the data that they recorded in real time.
Additionally, the options that the app offers as alternatives to self-harm are strong. First, the “emergency call” function allows the young person to add three custom emergency contacts. Connectedness to parents and to nonparental adults are both protective factors for young people against suicidal ideation and self-harm (Laser & Nicotera, 2021). This emergency call function encourages the user to at least identify three safe adults that they can lean on in times of distress. It hopefully also encourages the user to follow through and make the call to an adult when necessary. Finally, the app’s mindfulness activities provide genuinely enjoyable and distracting alternatives to self-harm, as intended. There are a wide variety of options, with high-quality sound bites and engaging, interactive components. All things considered, the free version of this app has immense potential, with significant challenges in its current state.

It’s good!!!
It’s a good app!! Especially if you wanna keep track of your SH or triggers (if you write them down) the calming games are cool too, they don’t work for me but I still like to play with them from time to time!!
love this but
amazing app i perfer this over anything but i recently relapsed and i attempted to go into the app and it asked me for my passcode which i swore i ised face ID so i put in all my passwords and yet none worked and im unable to get in. the "forgot passcode?" button dowsnt work for me either.
Very good !
On the first day that I used it I had multiple urges to SH but I used the breathing method to stop myself an it has worked I am now clean for 2 days !!
