I want to like this.. but it’s not great

The app appears to be only half built. Key improvements would be to set a time for the screen so the ball etc stop on time.

The history screen shows sessions but no text appears.

I’d love to love this but it appears to not be finished.

I’m sorry

It feels underdeveloped and is poorly implemented. There are UI elements layered on top of text. A history section looks like a spreadsheet designed in 1985. The music menu is literally unreadable in dark mode due to black text on almost black background. The control strip in the animation is covered by and conflicting with iOS’s swipe home bar. There’s no apparent way to start the animation and no help/instructions. I had to get frustrated and start randomly poking at the screen to discover that you have to swipe …the object..? To get it moving and then there was no way to stop it unless you mashed about somewhere near iOSs swipe home bar trying not to accidentally swipe home before somehow activating the control bar again. I can’t imagine remaining calm while trying to use it. Requested a refund.

Scam

App doesn’t work. Just a group of pictures on the screen that don’t do anything. A scam. Please don’t download!

Difficulty starting and stopping

It takes a few swipes to start the movements. It’s next to impossible to stop them. Is there a secret to this?

Very useful app

As an EMDR therapist I find this app very helpful.

Cant figure out how to start it

Please help. I am a clinician. Spearited @comcast.net

Awful

This doesn’t even work, no play button, how is it even still for sale?!!

Некорректно работает

Не запускается Figure eight. Исправьте пожалуйста.

👍

Не раз спасала эта штука

Doesn’t work with AirPods

Good app but I lost my iPhoneX headphones, and bought AirPods... And the audio won’t play through them. Bummer. Wish I could use AirPods for the audio while using my tappers. Hope this app gets updated.

Disappointed !

This app is awful. Do not waste your money!

Difficult to use and very ineffective.

This app is well made and I have used it since it’s first release

I have used this type of treatment for the last 7 years and am confident in how to use EMDR therapy as a patient . This is such a life changing app . However only people who are familiar with EMDR therapy should use this app . It is easy to use but should be used under the guidance of a Dr or Psychologist til you have been told that you can do it on your own .

Great tool

As a clinician I feel this is a great tool to use with clients dealing with trauma. I like that it gives them more control over the BLS and allows me to focus on their safety.

Great tool

I use this app all the time. The variety allows clients to feel like they have control over their treatment process. If you need instructions with it you shouldn’t be using it. It is for trained and experienced clinicians.

Same app used by my psychologist

I’ve been seeing a psychologist and she uses this same app in treatment. Have downloaded this for use at home in between sessions. If you’re familiar with EMDR technique, this app will assist you.

Leaves a lot to be desired

NO instructions, info or any other guidance - you have to go to the website to figure out how to us it. The app will not run in the background so eats up a ton of battery. And is limited in it's adjustability. I suppose the good news is there is a LOT of room for improvement. In the mean time, Im stuck with this $10 piece of crap.

Better!

I was disappointed that the tactile pulsers do not work plugged directly into the phone.
BUT, after contacting the company I tried again with the volume at max on the headphones and it works fine!!! It doesn't even need to be plugged into a television if you are not using the sound feature.
I'm very happy with it!

Tactile pulsers?

I just got the tactile pulsers and it isn't working-they aren't vibrating when plugged in to the headphone port. Anybody have suggestions?

Very good app.

This is a very well put together EMDR app. It's the only app that works in all three BLS modes -- visual, tactile, audible. The backgrounds to the animations are distracting which is the primary drawback. It is very much hoped that a custom background or solid color background are offered in future editions. It works very well with tappers or vibration pods.

Love this app

I have used this app for a few years but what I really love now is using the tappers with it! I ordered a set of tappers and just plug them in and switch over to vibration in settings. Clients love it and it is easy to keep with me!
