Excellent DBT resource
I have been using g this app for many years. I always refer to it when I am in distress or just bored. It has helped me tremendously.
Fantastic app
Have tried endless mindfulness courses but the version of mindfulness described here is different. I’ve tried using wise mind now a number of times and each time was a success. Am learning about all the skills. Thank you so much

So helpful!
This app really has everything. It is so nice to have all the DBT skills right on my phone to refer to at any time. The one small thing that could be improved would be the font color and size. It’s all in gray and small when you click on a skill category. It can be hard to read. Other than that, it’s perfect.

Life changing
Not knowing what was wrong with me for 30 years, this is the first time I’ve been able to hold the answer to emotional regulation in my hands. Literally saved my life a few times, or at least saved me from self harm.
Fantastic
Best DBT app I have found. I love the simplicity and clear short summaries. Amazing that you can share all the data by emailing it, and I really appreciate the fact that it’s free. The Crisis section where you choose your emotion and get suggested a skill is really well done, and goes some way to help train the user to become their own therapists.
In terms of possible improvements, it’s great as is but in a perfect world it would be wonderful if users could tailor the ‘alcohol’, ‘drugs’ section to suit their needs and target behaviours. Drug use might not be a problem, but bingeing or excessive exercise might be the problem instead. Also being able to write a few notes alongside ticking the skill that has been used could be good just to jog the user’s memory when looking back at the charts so they can see more detail on how they used the skill if they wanted to add that in.
But it’s great! Thank you!

Don’t like the app but love that it scrambles my name!
It works!
I downloaded this app, not expecting it to work so well for my everyday life. It has helpful audio that I listen to as I fall asleep, which can be somewhat hypnotic as I listen intently and soak in the message.
Today, I got very angry over something small but using the crisis anger action and reading and following the exercises instead of being angry for the rest of the day/week I managed to calm down within 15 minutes. That’s groundbreaking for me, and I’m so thankful for this app.
If your struggle with BPD, I’d recommend this app 100%.

Saves me during crisis and great DBT skills reminder
This is a great app that is easy to use, free and focuses on the four DBT modules. I’ve used this daily and on the occasion that I am in distress. Features that I love are the recorded guided mindfulness practices and the Crisis section, where I can click on it and depending on what I’m experiencing, it routes me to the set of skills that will help me. I’ve tried so many DBT apps and by far this has been the most life changing and helpful. To the developers— please allow users to donate to you as a form of thanks. Thank you for creating this.

Simple and resourceful!
I found this app very resourceful as a quick reference guide "on the go". Good categorized descriptions of the skills for quick reference. Includes an easy to use and customizable daily diary. And it has some recorded guided exercises for breathing, mindfulness, and other skills. Beats all of the other DBT apps on here so far. And it’s free! *****

Stripped down, but WOW.
No frills, and the English is very slightly...well maybe it’s just not American that I’m used to. But it seems to comprehensively cover all skills I vaguely remember learning when I did DBT 15+ years ago. I can’t believe they are able to provide this for free and judging from how few reviews there are, nobody knows about it! I just downloaded it and haven’t gotten into it much yet, but so far it seems amazing.

Great concept
This app has achieved a fairly nice layout. I feel as if the diary entry options may have to be fleshed out more, and easier access to all skills and their applicable situation. Perhaps add an “overall” feeling to the days, indicated with an emoticon or something similar. So far, I haven’t encountered any bugs. I enjoy this app, and I thank the developers for taking the time to make it.

Perfect pocket companion!
What a perfect pocket companion to practice using DBT skills! It’s hard to remember to use them or which ones to use when you’re “in a moment.” Especially a year outside of therapy. Thanks for this!!
Help!
The sound isn’t working on the audio but the rest of the app looks really helpful! Please fix this, I want to use it to its full extent!
