Good but…
I got this app at a hard time in my life. I used it every day for a year. It helped get me out of a depression. But I’m on social security and they want $39 for a year for an app I dont even use for 10 minutes a day. It’s not super unique. I don’t want to dog the app but I feel it’s $10 overpriced so I didn’t renew. In a whole year not a single improvement or any change was made. As soon as I’m not subscribed anymore now I’m getting a lot of new notifications I never got before including announcements for men’s meetings online that I’m not welcome in because I paid last year not this year. Like I said, good app but not terribly unique and $10 too high & zero changes and improvements from January 2025- January 2026. How about send me a please come back notification with a deal or promo code. I’m in a mental health rehabilitation program and talked this app up hard for a year & I felt like I paid a bit too much and now I feel insulted by all the app notifications I’m now getting that I never got as a paid subscriber.

Great content that really works
Tried Mettle to help with general anxiety - this app really works. It has great content that’s easy to follow and makes a real difference.
This works so well!
Mettle has helped me through the toughest year of my life thru really easy to use daily content from Bear and the team. Just takes a few minutes a day and transforms my state, especially in the morning when I’m super stressed. Love it! I’m a different man thanks to
Mettle!

Needs Improvement
Previously wrote a different review but I’ve finally got my money back.
I loved the app so brought the life time subscription. Then days later got charged for the monthly subscription. After numerous emails the developer was incapable of activating my subscription. Finally got my money back through Apple. It’s a shame though because I thought I had found something that could really help day to day. It was helping until the developer couldn’t activate a paid subscription.
If I was to choose money or improved mental heath I would pick health. This app does even give me a choice as apparently I can’t have/pay for a subscription……

Awesome.
For the price it really should offer more but the quality of what it offers is top notch. This is in the top 2 apps for men’s mental fitness for me.
Response from developer
We're delighted that you're enjoying using Mettle. Thanks very much for your review. Please get in touch with us hello@bemettle.com if you have any specific feedback.
This is amazing!
I love that this is all made for men. The breath works help me start my day strong everyday. Great to see Bear Grylls on there too! Brilliant
Stopped working suddenly
Email address no longer recognized, unable to login with my subscription. Unfortunately the application no longer works.
Game changer
This app is an absolute game changer! Worth every penny, adding perspective and actual practical tools to make life better, both for me and those around me.
Great job, thanks guys.

Amazing App
Just got this app. Absolutely loving it so far. It does provide things other apps don’t. I really love the check in feature where it ask about your mood then after you answer it suggest programs. One criticism, one thing I desperately need you to fix is the font size like the AI bit I talked with and the programs where transcription is offered there’s so much space for bigger font. I am legally blind so please do this. Also please make a native iPad app. I’ve got a big iPad so I can see things better and the iPad app is a phone shaped box in the middle with somehow smaller print than my iPhone (that’s all apps not native to iPad not just yours. Thank you & I look forward to making use of this app and the improvements to come.
UPDATE: After a couple of weeks I’d like to add a request for meditations/ programs relating to grief, loss, sadness & depression.

Advocate
Hi i would like to advocate this app to my WE ARE MEN TG group i have…is there room for affiliate or partnership
Incredible stuff!
I really wish I could rate this higher. 5 stars is not enough. This has genuinely started to change my life. I’ve only been using it for 3 weeks. I missed a few days but was able to just pick up where I left off. I have ADHD, OCD and suffer chronic panic. This is genuinely helping me to manage all 3, where other support tools have failed. The breathing exercises really do work. The gentle tones of all the narrations are very calming and soothing to listen to. It’s easy to split into bite size chunks each day make it easy for anyone no matter how busy you are. I’d set several alarms each day to do some and I already don’t need the alarms as it’s on my mind at the same times each day already. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you for creating this!!!!

Amazing app, using it everyday. Made a massive impact on my moods and wellbeing.
Game changer
A fantastic app for supporting and developing your mental health.
Hit and miss
Some of the activities in the Mettle app are great, and there is a lot of very sound advice on offer here. I like the idea of breaking it down into two or three bite-size check ins or sessions throughout the day.
However, one big gripe I have is with the breath work sessions. Whilst i have found breath work in general to be very helpful, the timings Mettle give you in these sessions are really short for every breath. I can’t believe I’m the only person with a larger lung capacity? but every time I try one of the breathwork follow along sessions they tell you to breathe in, hold and then breathe out before I even finished barely breathing in! I’m not sure if anybody has actually tried these sessions themselves in real time?
Another very minor piece of feedback is about the inaccuracy of subtitles provided for some of the sessions. On some occasions I’ve decided to try a session in the office and I haven’t been able to do it with the sound on due to not having headphones to hand and not wanting those around me to know what I’m doing, so I’ve turned on subtitles. However a lot of the captions don’t make sense. I would assume they are A.I generated? For example on many occasions when I’ve opened the “Daily Mind Fuel” the subtitles say “welcome to your daily mindful”. There are plenty of other examples of bad subtitles in the app but this is just one that springs to mind.
Hopefully the app will continue to improve with testing and more feedback as I think the core principal is great.

Not really helpful
It's all just empty platitudes, the current approach lacks concrete solutions and practical benefits.
No.
Cheats you into asking for your email then instantly asks for your bank details. Avoid, how dare you abuse men’s wellbeing like this.
Boring & repetitive, very sad
Felt excited when I downloaded it. First couple audio guides were great. Then it started being repetitive and annoying. Lots of different "coaches" keep saying exactly same thing over and over. Honestly don't care about paying for it. But wouldn't even use it if it was free. Hope it changes for better, but repetitiveness and lack of engaging content made me delete my account and uninstall the app. Sad. Hoped it would be much better

Seemed to have technical issues
I tried the 1 week free trial and would have liked to continue the subscription, however, there seems to be a technical issue whereby a large proportion of the content simply wouldn’t play. I would try and play an audio and nothing would happen. I tried over several days to see if this was a bug but the problem persisted. I messaged the developer but didn’t receive a response so cancelled the subscription. This is disappointing as I’m sure I would have got good value from the app. If this issue can be fixed I would certainly give it another go.
