### 5/5 — mood tracking + skills practice

*2026-03-18*

I like how I can track my daily moods and practice CBT skills all in one platform, it’s so helpful. I also love the mindfulness meditation audios

### 5/5 — Absolutely love

*2025-10-29*

Absolutely love this app. Helps track my activity and mood throughout the week, and offers exercises when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2022-07-27*

This app teaches, reminds and cues me to take care of my well-being, both mentally and physically. The brain training games are fun and help activate me for the day. I can’t wait for more updates to come!

### 4/5 — A good way to make some money as a college student

*2022-04-17*

I used this app for a college study, which took 15 minutes tops per day, and made $50 (though the last $20 is still pending). I’d say it was worth it.

### 3/5 — Great app, just some technical issues

*2021-09-05*

I really love the idea behind the app and how easy it is to use, not to mention the functionality of the app! However, when I opened the app it was like I was given someone else’s account. Also, you should make it like every one has their own account instead of the whole patient thing. You could probably add a section where u can add notes for when u won’t to remember specific details of a hallucination or something. Otherwise it’s good👍

### 1/5 — S O S

*2021-03-08*

I can’t even sign up because it says:

“Are you sure you’re logging into the right Mindlamp ?”

It also says “Incorrect server address” 

Have you been hacked?
