Great

This app is great to have around when I am not in consistent therapy I enjoy each lesson and feel more regulated during use it’s not a solution to what I deal with but it is a good crutch

Great

Cool

Patronizing

Voice for the crisis mode is a robot woman and is annoying-sounding and super patronizing. It makes it hard to follow a program being talked down to like that by a soulless robot. Get a real, grounding voice please. Makes me angry and feel even more invalidated during a crisis. I can even do it for you guys

Not suitable for BPD

Not suitable for people with invalidation history. Made for numbers ("scientifically-proven"), not for people. Lacks deeper understanding of DBT Therapy principles.

Diary card is too limited

It would be better if you could log an emotion more than once a day. For example if I feel intense anger more than once in a day and use different skills to deal with it, I should be able to document that.

subscription plan to access BASIC resources?,??

having great resources out there and putting them behind an insanely priced paywall. this has to be a joke. nothing is accessible anymore. anything to increase profit!

Would be 5 stars but

I'm getting a lot out of this app, but Diya, the AI coach, every 3rd text is telling me to finish my diary for the day. It's like I can't talk to the ai coach or read what is telling me to do because it keeps interrupting itself to tell me to complete my diary. What would be a helpful conversation completely exhausts me by making me figure out how to exit that prompt to get back to what we were actually talking about that could help me in the moment. But even telling it to stop asking doesn't help. And none of the support buttons or contact buttons in the app work to try to fix it.

My Daily Diary Card!

So grateful to have this app to remind of intentionally using these life saving skills!

Me ajudou na constância

O app é muito bom! Bem sempre eu conseguia ficar com o cartão diário físico e isso acabava atrapalhando os meus registros. Agora, além de conseguir registrar todos os dias, eu ainda aprendo sobre várias estratégias e registro com mais detalhes.

Easy and cute

.i obviously wish there was more content for free

Great DBT Supplement

Hugely helpful on the day to day to supplement my DBT therapy that I did and also supplementing my EMDR and parts work now. The app tools are way better than computer or written worksheets. Thank you for making this app and I highly recommend it!

Exactly what I needed, with room to grow!

I have been going through a lot and needed somewhere easy to put everything my therapist suddenly wanted me to start paying attention to. That feeling was overwhelming enough on its own, and then your app showed up in a search through the App Store, so I downloaded it immediately.

My only wish as a brand-new user — I literally started last night — is for a bit more guidance for someone who has never even heard of most of the skills available. For example, which skills build on other skills, which ones are best to start with, which ones are easiest for most people to use, etc.

My only other issue is the food section, which I’ve seen is a work in progress. Food tracking is a large part of my personal struggles, so I’m going to try to stick it out by adding custom items each time until that section is more fleshed out.

I’m hoping that with consistency, this skill set and this app will help, because I really need something to help me keep going right now.

Great Tool

Helps me to use and practice DBT skills anywhere and at any time. The only drawback is that there is a paywall to access most tools and skills.

Great app so far

There's loads of content and I'm finding it really easy to navigate.

10/10 solo unas mejorías

Que donde se pone otros se pueda más bien un + para que tú elijas el nombre de la conducta y puedas poner un dibujo que ya venga hecho, tipo como en la app bring del súper jajaja que así puedes poner títulos tú… no sé si me expliqué. También que la descripción de las emociones si salgan en el resumen y en el informe… y la impulsividad se mide más bien en el nivel de impulso por ejemplo para cometer alguna acción, y pues ya súper bien lo de los comportamientos.

Handy to have

Has helped me learn about myself, my emotions and essential DBT skills. The downside? It logs you out multiple times, it doesn’t save draft if you leave the app and return to it. No consistent system in making the diary entities, if you go into the diary entry to edit it, you get the option of filling out details on urges and how you acted on them but when filling it for the first time, it is not reflected. I’m using the paid versions.

Life changer

DBT Coach has changed my life for the better. I love how the Diary Card Entry is configured. I love the Breathing options. I love the Meditation feature; they are well curated and very good. Diya the AI is helpful, as is the Data generated.

miss when it didnt use ai

i had the paid version of this a few years back and recommended it to a lot of ppl. revisiting it recently as it was one of the few tools that worked for me, but now there is ugly ai art everywhere 😭😭 it ai generated a dear man script for me but it reads very disingenuous

Buggy and unstable

I wanted to like this app. I really need something like this, but the AI coach is buggy and too sensitive. Then a lot of the screens just get stuck and you can’t get out of a video or out of a section. I didn’t get very far. I only used it for about 10 minutes, but that was enough to feel uncomfortable using it because it was so buggy and didn’t make me feel safe or confident that it would be able to support me the UX and the whole experience needs an audit and then it might be a really amazing app.
