The actual video playback can be a little shaky at times, pretty good app overall
So helpful!!
This app has really helped me with my fear of flying. I really appreciate all the information and breathing exercises and I love how they allow you to work your way up from driving to an airport to turbulence. I used it every day for six weeks before a long flight and had almost zero anticipatory anxiety and I handled the flight well. I’m impressed. I asked them for additional videos and they said more are coming. I am going to stick with this!
Also, I think some of the negative reviews on here are fake or these people are negative for no reason. The videos are very clear and this does provide exposure therapy - without having to get on a plane. My experience is extremely positive.

Fear of mountain driving
The bottom line is that this VR app worked for me. It empowered me to overcome a late-in-life fear of driving on mountain roads. I drove mountain roads in Pennsylvania on an average of 3,000 miles per year over a period of 25 years without any anxiety. Then, in 2023, I climbed up to the (Anasazi) Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde, Colorado and came close to having a panic attack. I tried but was unable to drive the main road out of the park as the high elevation overlooks visible around the curves was unnerving. Thereafter, I experienced anxiety on any road or highway that entailed long views and drop offs - this included Interstate highways equipped with guardrails. This anxiety continued even when I was a passenger. I began using this App in May of this year for a period of four months. In September, during a visit to New Mexico, I experienced no anxiety on some of the mountain roads but I wasn't fully convinced of the success of the oVRcome program. So, last week (November) I decided to test it. The mountain road I chose turned out to be very narrow with non-stop hairpin curves and switchbacks, steep drop offs, no berms and no guard rails. I drove about 4 miles and then 4 miles back down. My anxiety did increase over the drive but at no time did I have the unrelenting feeling that I was powerless to keep from driving off the road and over the cliff. This is why I say oVRcome worked for me. I credit my success to its combined education, especially on self-talk and breathing which I employed while driving, with the VR videos that must have worked on my subconscious mind. One last comment: be persistent in your use of the app. Oh, and don't climb up to see the Cliff Palace.

Very helpful
3 members of my family have used this app and all found it really helpful - I used it for heights (and jumped off a high diving platform), one child for dogs (we now have a pet dog) and another child for needles (he had an immunization recently with no fuss). The app is easy to use, the modules aimed at children are really educational and kid friendly, and we all got results that we are very happy with.

Doesn’t work
I tried to set this up with my own VR headset. But the button to adjust the settings does not work in the app. I want a refund now because I cancelled the app after one hour of not being able to use it.
Maybe this would work with the headset they provide. It sure didn’t work with my headset.
