### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-07-31, version 1.7.5*

Its not a bad app, helps me not self harm.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2026-07-26, version 1.7.5*

As someone who has struggled with $h for years now this has helped me quite a bit, it’s not like the other apps that make you pay to feel relief, I definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Lina

*2026-07-26, version 1.7.5*

This app is amazing. I recommend it does help.

### 5/5 — If u have a SH problem then get it

*2026-07-21, version 1.7.5*

When it comes to SH I think this is a very good app for it. Instead of only tracking how many days clean you are it has tools to help when u have urges and has some lessons to help u understand it better.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-07-20, version 1.7.5*

It really helps me not commit

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-18, version 1.7.5*

It’s been really helpful, the last month and a half has been the hardest of my life, it’s been a lot of struggling with thoughts and urges I really don’t want and this app has been genuinely so useful and helpful while I’m waiting for therapy, I highly recommend it especially for those that feel like they don’t have anyone to talk to

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-16, version 1.7.5*

This app has really helped me. I’ve been about 114 days and counting, clean. I’m truly grateful to have stumbled upon it..

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-15, version 1.7.5*

This app is amazing and actually really helpful, i was having an urge so in desperate times i searched on the app store, saw this, downloaded it and i felt better in about 15 minutes.. i really like this app

### 5/5 — immaculate.

*2026-07-13, version 1.7.5*

helped me.

### 5/5 — helpful!!

*2026-07-11, version 1.7.5*

i was really struggling until i came across this app. this is the best thing (in my opinion) to download if you also want to get help but not a therapist and even if you did this also provides more help.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-07-04, version 1.7.5*

I just downloaded this app and already I’m starting to understand sh better this app has so many amazing resources and things to help you understand why you feel like this

### 5/5 — Harmless help

*2026-06-26, version 1.7.5*

Harmless has definitely developed in helping me with my anxiety and depression a coping mechanism a lot of people use is S.H and I I certainly have this app tells me that I don’t need to feel alone and tells me lots of people do it it tells me about what happens to someone who does it and it  does breathing exercises the one thing I wish they would do is making the therapy free I feel if they would do that they would get so much more people they have certainly helped me with it and I am now 1 1/2 weeks clean I know it may not seem like much but it has helped me so much thank you harmless.  Sincerely layah

### 1/5 — pros n cons

*2026-08-30, version 1.7.5*

Pros : good for progress checking + soberness 
Cons : uses generative AI for the imagery on the app

### 1/5 — Gulp

*2026-07-13, version 1.7.5*

Paying for help is wild ts app is so bad and literally does nothing😭💔

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-06-22, version 1.7.5*

If you forget password can’t go in and have to pay for most

### 1/5 — Preying on the vulnerable for money

*2026-05-31, version 1.7.5*

You could atleast offer some smaller free options to allow people to see what the app is like. Keeping it paywalled off the bat drives away many of those who need it. Throwing payment options into your face is misleading and sets up for disappointment.

### 1/5 — Paywall???

*2026-05-29, version 1.7.5*

Paying to use the app at all is insane and cruel:(

### 1/5 — ??

*2026-05-28, version 1.7.5*

Cost a subscription would try but costs money 🙂

### 1/5 — Payment.

*2026-05-07, version 1.7.5*

I'm a young teenager who can't afford to pay for apps, and when I was signing up I got stuck at the paywall. There was no free option. Seriously!? This app looks so nice, but apparently I have to pay for it.

### 1/5 — This seems like a really good app

*2026-04-30, version 1.7.5*

Honestly, I would really like to be able to try this app because of all the good reviews. But I can’t afford the subscription. And if I could, I’d risk the people I live with finding out about my self harm. I wish there would be a program for people who can’t pay for or risk paying for this app, for there to be a donated subscription (like other self help apps have). If there is a change with a program like this implemented, I will redownload it. Otherwise, I can’t use it, especially since there’s no free version either.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-04-30, version 1.7.5*

Immediately charged me
$4.50 when I downloaded it despite saying “free” (planning on disputing this), then gave me different subscription options after I did the quiz so they could gather data. Spoiler alert: there’s not even a free subscription option! 

Also, the survey looks like it was AI-generated the same way as those weight loss ads that come up on every website to give you a “personalised plan”. 

Overall, this app is really taking advantage of a vulnerable group of people and they should be ashamed.

### 1/5 — We shouldn’t have to pay to quit

*2026-04-17, version 1.7.5*

Why do we have to pay hello?? Some people are actually struggling don’t use this money hungry app

*2026-08-14, version 1.7.5*

### 5/5 — Why I voted 5 stars

*2026-08-08, version 1.7.5*

It’s nice to be able to get in touch with a therapist online and to figure out new ways to resist urges. I’d say it’s a really good app

### 5/5 — Mistake improves

*2026-08-07, version 1.7.5*

This have helped in many way that it does stop the person from improving even with mistake the person take their own time to improve from the mistake they have done to improve their own. Not judgement by then but encouragement of doing in little step at a time

This helped so much with my depression I used to do SH all the time but now I dont do it at all!
