### 3/5 — Great app but occasionally buggy

*2026-07-02*

Update: I reached out to support 2 months ago and have not received a response. Still having the issue where the app occasionally kicks me back to the registration process. 

The device and the app are tremendous in concept. Very well thought out and put together. However I have an occasional issue where I open the app and am greeted by the initial setup screen.  I go through the prompts but I’m unable to access the app. There’s not an option to login to my existing account. The only resolution I’ve going is closing the app and rebooting. That doesn’t always work though. I’m on the latest version of the app.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad to hear you see the value in both the device and the app.

What you’re experiencing may be related to a connection issue rather than the app itself, which can sometimes cause the setup screen to reappear or prevent proper login access.

If this continues, we’d love for you to reach out to our support team at support@calmigo.com so we can take a closer look and help get things running smoothly for you. We’re always here to help!

### 4/5 — Great device for veterans

*2026-05-31*

I’m a combat veteran who suffers from severe PTSD. My anxiety is through the roof as well as being hyper vigilant especially in crowds. 
In just a few short days of using calmigo. I noticed yesterday while out with my wife, as my anxiety started to rise, my wife and I both noticed I began doing the breathing techniques without, thinking about it. It just started. 
Did it remove all my anxiety no, but let me say this I remained calmer, whereas I normally would have been telling my wife, we need to check out now and go. 
This time we finished our shopping before we left or me feeling like I would explode. 
So for my fellow brother and sister veterans I highly recommend contacting the VA for this device. It may not make us whole again but it’s a step in the right direction that truly helps.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing this and for your service. We’re really glad to hear CalmiGo has been helping you stay a bit calmer in those tough moments. Appreciate you taking the time to leave this and for recommending it to other veterans. Wishing you all the best!

### 4/5 — App is a great companion to device

*2026-04-02*

I enjoy using the app with the device since it has a timer with calming music. It also motivates me to use it to collect keys, coins, and items for the room. I’ve been using it for several days in a row, but the Daily Rewards (calendar) is not granting any rewards at all. Does Daily Rewards unlock at a later time like Statistics (level 2), or is this an app glitch?

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the app and device! About the Daily Rewards, it sounds like you may be running into a glitch. Please reach out to us at support@calmigo.com, with your account details, and we’ll help get this sorted so you can start receiving your rewards.

### 2/5 — Not yet fully decided

*2026-02-11*

As the title would suggest, I am not yet fully decided on if/how much this device is effective. I have severe grade PTSD and acute anxiety and panic disorder. 
I only just got the device a couple of days ago, and I still have 12 more sessions before I’m able to access the “statistics”, so I’m not yet sure what that looks like or how helpful it will be.
The guided breathing definitely serves as a distraction, and the haptic feedback is nice.
I certainly feel a bit more grounded and “slowed down” a bit after three minute session.
But I’ve also noticed that when the session is over, I tend to feel lightheaded and sometimes a little bit dizzy. In and of itself, that’s not a bad thing.
But as somebody with extremely acute anxiety, I have a very high level of body awareness. 
And sometimes being lightheaded or dizzy can increase anxiety rather than lower it.
That has not happened yet from using this device, but it does give me pause. 
There’s also another feature all the way to the left on the bottom of the home screen that I can’t unlock until level 2 - which, I’ll be perfectly honest, is rather frustrating after spending several hundred dollars on the device. So I have no idea what that feature is or if/how it will improve the experience.
And I also have no idea how to reach level two, nor do I understand why levels are necessary when I’m trying to get maximum anxiety relief quickly. 
It was my understanding that this device was meant to be paid for at that high price tag and then be fully accessible to the owner. 
I didn’t know I was going to pay several hundred dollars and then still have to unlock things as if it were a pay-to-play mobile game. 
So for now, two stars.
I will absolutely come back and make updates.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident while using the device, especially in the early stages. The app features and levels unlock gradually with continued use, and we’d be happy to explain how everything works and answer any questions you may have.

We offer a free training call to guide you through the device and app and help you get the most benefit from it. Please feel free to email us at support@calmigo.com to schedule a time, we’re here to help and support you.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-12, version 1.0.24*

After I started using CalmiGo, I feel more relaxed, less stressed and no more panic attacks. It might be a little pricey but worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Blessing in Disguise

*2026-01-11*

CalmiGo has been a total blessing for my daily life. Before using this device, my anxiety and depression would often run rampant and truly get the best of me. Now, whenever I feel agitation or anxiety starting to kick in, I reach for my CalmiGo. The treatments allow me to drift off into my own world and find my safe place. It has made a significant difference in how I manage my day-to-day mental health.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing this wonderful feedback! We’re really glad CalmiGo has been helping you manage anxiety and find calm when you need it. It means a lot to us to hear how it’s supporting your daily life. If you need any assistance, please let us know as we're always happy to help!

### 3/5 — Could use more features

*2026-01-04, version 1.0.24*

I like the calmigo but the app should use some work. You can’t adjust time. Maybe some sort of integration with smart watches. It would be cool to see the effect to my heart rate.

### 5/5 — Amazing device!

*2026-01-01, version 1.0.24*

Drug free almost instant relief for P.T.S.D. , Mania, Panic Attacks, Mood Stabilization! What’s not to love?! 100% free for Veterans and Active Duty Soldiers via the VA.

### 5/5 — Calming

*2025-12-29, version 1.0.24*

Feel more relaxed

### 5/5 — CalmiGo

*2025-12-24, version 1.0.24*

This calmingo app and the device helps me a lot when I have panic attacks and anxiety. I definitely recommend it to people who are feeling anxious and bad.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-12-20, version 1.0.24*

I don’t know how they can ask $320 for this simple device, but it does work !

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-12-17, version 1.0.24*

Five stars

### 5/5 — It makes a difference

*2025-12-16*

I’ve used my CalmiGo for almost half a year now, and I can tell a difference in how I feel. Using the device for three minutes at least once a day helps calm me and gives me the “me time” that I need.  On days where I feel a little more out of whack or stressed, using it an extra time or two really helps ease my stress and overactive brain. I personally love the lavender scent as the choice of plates that go with the device.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re really glad to hear CalmiGo has been helping you find calm, especially on more stressful days. It’s wonderful to hear the lavender plates have been a favorite too. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know how it’s been working for you.

### 4/5 — Not Bad, little fiddly

*2025-12-10*

I like it so far. However sometimes it doesn’t register a session. Which isn’t really an issue for me, but it doesn’t register allow you to do more in the app.

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-03-24*

I used to have calmigo device before they went to this requirement of using a stupid app, you have to sync it every couple weeks and if you don’t you get locked out and it notifies you to reconnect. First of all I get severe panic attacks and when you have an attack you don’t have the brain to function to remember and get your device connected to your phone app, calmigo was great before they made this subscription mandatory to use the app. You can not just use the device. I have it a one star for that reason. It’s more a nuisance.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand how that could still feel frustrating during a panic attack. If we may kindly share that you don’t need to contact us to unlock the device, reconnecting it via Bluetooth will restore access. We appreciate your feedback and hope this makes using your CalmiGo a bit easier. If there is anything you need assistance with, please let us know as we're always happy to help!

### 1/5 — Honestly don’t get the positive reviews, question whether or not they’re real consumers

*2026-02-20*

Huge waste of money.  Device did not reduce anxiety or help with PTSD.  The app is absolutely the crappiest and least useful ever.  And when they send you the reminder you’re going to be charged with a link to manage your subscription, be aware that the page it opens doesn’t actually let you manage your subscription.  Nothing like paying for a useless device and “service”.  Horrible customer service also.  Look elsewhere for relief of these symptoms.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear CalmiGo did not meet your expectations and that you experienced difficulty managing your subscription. This is not the experience we want for our users. Please reach out to us at support@calmigo.com

### 1/5 — Stress

*2026-01-26, version 1.0.24*

My stress is too high.

Yeah

### 1/5 — JUNK

*2025-12-30, version 1.0.24*

Doesn’t sync. Takes too long for a weak reward. Customer service is hardly adequate.

### 1/5 — Joke device

*2025-10-17, version 1.0.22*

CS is horrible. You have to leave a message and so far I have not received a. Apparently it’s a game of breathing that you earn tokens for buying items, cognitive behavioral therapy for progression. Immature product and definitely horrible customer service. The device broke in less than 3 weeks. $352.00 is insane.

### 1/5 — Poorly managed

*2025-07-25, version 1.0.21*

Didn’t get email containing activation code. Support is practically non existent. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Poorly managed

*2025-07-08, version 1.0.20*

Didn’t get email containing activation code. Support is practically non existent. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Horrible customer service.

*2025-06-27*

The worst customer service i’ve ever experienced. Had a hard time setting up the app, contacted customer service and they did nothing to help. Still not signed into the app. Wasted so much money. Think before you buy this, and definitely don’t try contacting customer service as they will do absolutely nothing to help you.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback. This doesn’t reflect the kind of support we aim to provide, and we’d really like to understand what happened so we can make it right.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2024-11-19*

I wanted to love this device and when I used it I did find it useful and helpful. However, when you’re trying to lessen stress or panic, having to open up an app and sync your device, turn on music and deal with a silly game with collecting points and keys drove me bonkers - and made me not want to use it as it was just way too much hassle. All I wanted to do was use it on the go in panic inducing situations, but it’s not that easy. And locking you into a subscription and having to sync your device every few days so it will stay unlocked for use it very scammy and unfair. If I could just use it as an inhaler device it would be 5* , would recommend, but all the faff around it makes it unusable. Not to mention the constant texts and emails warning me my device will be locked if I don’t sync it. For those reasons I can’t recommend it.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear that the experience felt overwhelming, especially during moments when ease of use is so important. If you're open to it, we’d be glad to schedule a free training call to help simplify the process and ensure you're getting the most out of your device. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@calmigo.com.

### 5/5 — CalmiGo

*2026-03-23*

I rated it 6 stars even though I have not tried it yet when I felt anxious because it says to use it twice a day so I am hopeful that when I have anxiety attack it will actually help me a little bit expensive but I am willing to give it a try if I can keep from being stressed all the time and taking medication for the anxiety

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience! We really appreciate your honesty. We hope you will find the device very helpful. Please let us know as we're always happy to help!

### 5/5 — Wish I found this sooner!

*2026-03-09*

I have dealt with anxiety, panic attacks & ocd since I was little. I’m 27 now & my biggest issue when having a panic attack is forgetting to breathe. CalmiGo is such an amazing idea & I am so grateful I found it. I’ve only had it for a few days but it helps me reach such a relaxing, calm state. The app guided breathing is wonderful, & the collection of coins to make my own little safe space is fun for my inner child. Truly so grateful for this device, thank you for making this. Some of the best money I’ve ever spent.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We’re really glad it’s helping you find calm and support during those moments. It means a lot to hear how much it’s already helping you. If you ever need any assistance, please let us know as we're always happy to help!

### 5/5 — CalmiGo device - my experience

*2026-03-01*

I received this device via the VA. I’ve been using it every day for about 23 days. It took a few days using it to get used to the best way for me to breathe and hit the mark. There is an app involved with using the device, and it gamifies using it, as well as unlocking aspects of the device. I haven’t used any anxiety medication during this time, which is great. I’m pleased to have this as another tool in my anxiety toolbox, to utilize as needed.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re really glad to hear it’s become a helpful tool for you and that you’ve found a breathing rhythm that works best. It means a lot to know it’s supporting you day to day. If you ever have questions or need support, we’re here for you. Please send us an email at support@calmigo.com.

### 5/5 — This device can really make a DIFFERENCE!

*2026-02-15*

I think that this is a really good device if you are having lots of stress and anxiety because when I had anxiety, I used this device and I felt so much better and relieved after using it, I highly recommend this! 👍🏻

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing. We’re really glad to hear it helped you feel better and more relieved during anxiety. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

### 5/5 — Sceptic

*2026-02-11*

I’ve been dealing with anxiety for years. Calmigo is an awesome program and device I’m glad I found it. I never write reviews but this is something that actually works for those that work the program.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re really glad CalmiGo has been helpful for you, especially after dealing with anxiety for so long. It means a lot that you chose to share your experience.

### 5/5 — New user

*2026-01-16, version 1.0.24*

I just received my unit through the VA and while it’s early to tell, I do feel like it’s helping more on my exhales as part of breathing exercises that I’ve already been doing. I started with the peppermint disc and I guess we’ll see how the others go I don’t feel like it’s overwhelming and I feel like this is a Positive tool in the arsenal. I’m using against my PTSD.

### 5/5 — Love this devices

*2026-01-14, version 1.0.24*
