### 2/5 — Videos disrupted by loading

*2024-03-22*

The videos are extremely choppy and are consistently being broken up by a loading circle whenever the script is personalized based on my answers. It’s really disruptive and makes it hard to concentrate on the content.

### 1/5 — Awful. I hope this has not cost the NHS a penny.

*2026-06-14*

Well I found this TOTAL RUBBISH on Google. It told me a few things about how anxiety was causing me physical and emotional pain after I answered the first 22 questions. The oddest thing though is, I had answered all 22 questions with the most positive answer I could go for - yet it still said I was suffering. Utter rubbish. 
I’m glad I stress-tested it before wasting much of my time on it. 
The final thing, for years, the NHS has filled people full of ‘Big Pharma’ anti-depressant drugs. Now they are switching to ‘Big Data’ to give us something else other than the drugs. With year long waiting times to see Psychiatrists, I can see why such an App could appeal to the NHS. All I can say is IT DOSEN’T EVEN DO THE BASICS. 
Just an utter waste of time.

### 1/5 — Let down

*2026-05-29*

The fact that I actually experience real trauma and that the NHS’s gave me this, which I can’t even get into, I think they should give people with mental health issues real help from real people not ai garbage

### 1/5 — The catch-all app that catches nothing

*2026-04-30*

I was recommended this app by my UK NHS GP. What she failed to tell me was that this is completely new in the UK and has not been tailored to the needs of the people here. It’s basically AI nonsense, that gives you sweeping generalisations about your stress or anxiety, and all with an American bent to it. I think we can all admit that, when it comes to therapy, etc., Americans and Brits are most definitely not the same. The 71% who claim that this app helped them were all Americans from over 5 years ago. This has no relevance to the UK, and should definitely not be recommended by the NHS. On top of all this, it has a very, VERY annoying American accent that you cannot change. 
In summary: this app increased my anxiety and stress which is precisely the opposite of what it was supposed to do.

**Developer response:** Hello - Thank you for taking the time to review Daylight. Daylight does not currently have any AI functionality. Additionally, Daylight was released in the UK and the US at the same time, with the majority of active users being based in the UK.

### 1/5 — Surprised there is no skip feature

*2025-05-23*

So the app is stuck on boring intro that I can’t skip and get to the exercise it’s talking about

**Developer response:** Hello Darian311 - Thank you for taking the time to review Daylight. It sounds like you may have encountered an issue that we can help with. Please write to support@trydaylight.com and we'd be happy to assist.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2025-01-03*

This just didn’t work for me, sorry.

### 1/5 — Couldn't even begin

*2024-06-23*

During set up the app wouldn't allow me to scroll my screen down far enough to 'continue' after I'd set my preferred time of day (among other things) so I haven't been able to use the app. When you're feeling low and easily irritated is a buggy app really what you want to be battling with?

**Developer response:** Hello Ernie - Thank you for taking the time to review Daylight and for leaving us your valuable feedback. It sounds like you may have encountered an issue that we can help with. Please write to support@trydaylight.com and we'd be happy to assist.

### 1/5 — WHY

*2024-04-18*

When I try to make an account for it, it says “this does not accept gmail.com” like what else do I use?

**Developer response:** Hello Zach - The Daylight onboarding process does not limit any choice of email provider, so this error was likely caused by something else. Please write to support@trydaylight.com and we'd be happy to help you get signed up with your gmail.com email address.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2023-08-03*

I’ve never used an app this glitchy. I am unable to progress through the exercises. Buttons don’t work… or take you back to previous screens. Flickering animations. For an app that’s meant to help reduce anxiety, it’s sure causing a lot of frustration.

**Developer response:** Hello Thriva - Thank you for taking the time to review Daylight. We're sorry to hear of the trouble you experienced with the app. Please write to hello@trydaylight.com from the email address registered to your account describing the issue in as much detail as you can provide - we're always happy to assist.

### 1/5 — Anxiety inducing

*2023-07-18*

Been trying for a couple of days to use this app and it never works, rn it actually gives me even more anxiety just trying to get it to work

### 1/5 — Very laggy

*2023-03-18*

The new update has made this app incredibly laggy. It wont allow me to press on the first 6 minute intro…..as well as it crashes after I press a button🙃

**Developer response:** Hello - Thank you for taking the time to review Daylight. We're sorry to hear of the trouble you experienced with the app. There has now been an update to the app released that should address the issue. Please let us know if you run into any further issues by writing to hello@trydaylight.com

### 5/5 — Fun yet data driven

*2026-05-13*

I like the check-in questions and playful animations plus voiceover. The one thing I’d suggest for Daylight app devs is test doing the exercises over Bluetooth or in a car like Apple car play. The audio sometimes cuts off at the end due to a delay. So either the audio needs padding at the end, or pause briefly before transitioning screens.

**Developer response:** Hello chemturion - Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that the techniques you were introduced to in the program are proving helpful to you. Thank you as well for the feedback about the audio issue you experienced. If we can ever be of help, please email hello@trydaylight.com. We’re always happy to assist!

### 5/5 — Feeling less anxious thanks to Daylight

*2025-04-11*

I’ve been using Daylight for a few weeks now and it’s been a lot of help in how I manage my anxiety. The lessons have been helpful for me to identify my anxiety early so I can be proactive in managing it, rather than waiting until I feel absolutely overwhelmed. 

I definitely would recommend Daylight to others—it’s been a game changer for me.

Daylight gives me the tools I need to feel calm when I need it. It’s so helpful to have these skills at my fingertips

### 5/5 — Incredibly Helpful

*2023-08-28*

This app has become one of the best tools I’ve used to manage anxiety. I use it almost every day. I hope that you will come out with a Daylight 3.0 to continue building the practice library.

### 5/5 — I like it so far

*2022-10-16*

This is excellent for helping my anxiety. I tried my first session and it’s fairly easy to follow and keeps you up to date with a routine/schedule which is perfect for my chaotic mind.

### 5/5 — Incredibly Helpful

*2022-10-11*

The Daylight App is incredibly helpful for providing evidence based and practically useful ways of meeting and managing anxiety. The voice of the narrator is immensely soothing and the animations are both adorable and validating. Working through these steps has been easy, enjoyable, and effective at helping me manage my worries. I highly recommend this to any and all human beings - I genuinely feel that we could all benefit from these lessons.

### 5/5 — Helpful strategies and tricks to manage stress

*2022-06-28*

I’m still early in using this but so far I’ve liked how simple the lessons / strategies are. The ones that have been served to me are different than what I ve seen in other apps - they were cool because they basically told me to stop fighting it and actually lean into it. 

I’ll see how it goes but so far its working

### 3/5 — Hmmm, underwhelmed

*2023-10-24*

I’ve had this for 10 days now on the recommendation of my NHS Scotland GP. 

I find the use of an American voice irritating in this context. 

I’ve just started an exercise about dealing with an inner voice where she says it will help me when it comes to dealing with ‘real’ problems 🤷‍♀️😡 as opposed to the fantasy ones my anxiety is creating I presume? 🙄

The relaxation exercise did my head in, talking about probably feeling like a spaceman when you’re scrunched up! Really???  I’m not 8 years old ffs!

The challenging thoughts exercise was helpful, to be fair.

As for the glitches, I contacted the helpline and was underwhelmed and intensely irritated by the response. I’m probably a bit old fashioned but getting a reply that starts “Hi X” from a complete stranger winds me up. Plus it turns out that if I’d scrolled down the screen (no idea for how long) before downloading the app, I’d have seen info for UK users that says iPad usage isn’t supported 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ so why let it be downloaded? It really added to my anxiety and frustration. I couldn’t get it via the desktop either so basically it’s only optimal on a phone, which is a small screen and I don’t like using the phone this way. 

So if you’re not very anxious it might be useful but it’s an algorithm so is a v broad sweep & to me the NHS is using apps because they can’t provide people; they’re a v poor substitute.

### 3/5 — almost there

*2022-08-13*

this app is great except for one fatal flaw. the lack of an option for text/subtitles is really disappointing. sometimes i'm in public or don't have my airpods, so i cant always listen and end up just not using the app when i need it /:

**Developer response:** Hello zenobiax- Thank you for taking the time to review Daylight. Our team is working hard on getting closed captioning added to Daylight as soon as possible. For updates and/or further questions, please write to hello@trydaylight.com - Thanks! - The Daylight Team

### 2/5 — Surface Level

*2025-01-21*

A weeks worth of content that you’ve to use for months. Very surface level and not helping to get to the crux of any issues. Might work for some people.

**Developer response:** Hello 46sm46 - Thank you for taking the time to review Daylight. We're sorry to hear that you feel there isn't enough content to practice in Daylight.
