Use the app as a way to help on your journey. ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2025-08-18, version 3.5.5* My PTSD isn’t what they describe really. But I do like the ap. I can turn to it when intrusive thoughts start. I’m not going to write a letter or call someone. Also a leisure activity won’t stop it. It’s not that simple. But I like this ap. 4 stars, I can’t find my neurographic I started and that was my focus piece. ### 3/5 — Glad I could help!! *2025-02-16, version 3.5.4* I found this app years ago when it first came out, helped develop it because it helped with my PTSD as a civilian. I deleted the app last week and now I find it is only for Veterans. Sad day for me but happy to help All Veterans. ### 5/5 — PTSD app *2024-08-26, version 3.5.4* I’m thankful for the app, however I still prefer in person settings. ### 5/5 — Maybe it’s stress due to our country in crisis *2024-08-19* We haven’t had a moment of peace since this admin took over. The media is owned by foreigners and liberals who give us lies and want us to live in fear. Harris is running and promises to lower food prices and inflation. How? She could do it now. They are the problem. They will not help us out one bit. I think our mental issues are due to struggling to feed ourselves, shelter cost and taxes being raised over and over. Who would not be stressed out right now. It’s normal. There is nothing wrong with you. Get rid of the narcissist in the White House and you will enjoy peace again. Schools will go back to normal, trans won’t be reading your kids stories in the park and doctors won’t be touching our children and ruining their lives forever by changing their gender’s. This is all completely mad!!! ### 5/5 — Sir Tim. *2024-08-07, version 3.5.4* This tool helps keep me grounded, its my go to when I need to refocus. Life happens every day and affects everything and everybody and can cause stress that leads us to depression and anxiety or other mental health problems. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2024-07-11, version 3.5.4* PTSD is real and understanding that is the first step to getting better. Using this app allows one to take part in their care in privacy and it's at your finger tips 24/7! ### 5/5 — Helpful, recommended *2024-06-21, version 3.5.4* I’m 19 yrs old and went to search for a tool that could help me with my ptsd that I haven’t yet faced with anyone about. I’ve had rlly bad days and this app helped me ground myself and has so so many tools to go through. No ads or purchases, it’s just very genuine and professional. Helped me feel like I really am not alone and other people go through these experiences too. ### 5/5 — Great for non-veterans too *2024-06-17, version 3.5.4* This is a great tool for those of us who cast a wary eye at getting entangled in the credentialed mental health care world. And it really works. ### 5/5 — Very handy *2024-06-13, version 3.5.4* I like the way this tool is so accessible and appropriate for many trigger situations ### 5/5 — Helps when ur stuck *2024-05-17, version 3.5.4* I have used this for at least a year now. It helps get me through those rough patches. And When your really messed up it will advise you call someone in your support line but u have to set up your contact people but the number is ready to go if/when you need it. The 800 number is all ready there, for those when things are really challenging and you need extra support. ### 5/5 — Much needed app *2024-05-07, version 3.5.4* A much needed app if your alone this can help hopefully it will grow with more useful talking features thank you. ### 5/5 — A gift *2024-03-08, version 3.5.3* Has helped me immensely over the past few years ### 5/5 — Sounds Help Trough The Night *2024-02-07, version 3.5.3* As was glad Trina Blake recommend these. I’ve used them several time’s, the “sounds” calm me to sleep. That and a “cold bucket” of water or in a sink. It take’s me from a 10 to 0. A Veteran with PTS!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏👍😎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — False readings *2026-05-20, version 4.0* Utilities it for several months. Based on answers and showing to doc the system scores better and better when answers are the same or at a higher negative. ### 1/5 — App Crashes Now *2026-04-19, version 4.0* This app used to be great until the latest update. The app now crashes and/or stops loading altogether. Please fix this so I can start using the app again! ### 1/5 — The new app does not work? *2026-03-06, version 4.0* I have emailed your customer support. I’ve sent you photos of the issue. No one has got back to me. You took away the old app you installed the new app and the new app doesn’t open. It continuously is trying to load nothing works. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the same things happening. The app just does not load properly, making it on operable. Thank you for your time. ### 1/5 — Your new app will not let me write a review. It will not accept Proton Mail. *2026-02-28, version 4.0* All the best things I liked about this app seems to not be loading. Apparently, my settings are still saved, but it’s not working.. my data is completely unlimited. It’s just not loading. Do I need to delete and reload the app for it to work properly? OK, honestly, you want me to go through all of those information with your app support ?? are you sure you really want my input? I deleted the app and reinstalled it and all the things I found useful are just not available. ? are they just not available anymore like you’re not gonna have them anymore I tried calling. Thanks for nothing. ### 1/5 — Very Single Minded *2025-06-25, version 3.5.4* I have used the app just enough to see that apparently the creator only really wants to support veterans with PTSD??? Well, trust me…the rest of us didn’t ask to go through our traumas either. Our trauma is just as valid as a veterans!!!! ### 1/5 — At least they tried. Kinda. Not really *2024-07-01, version 3.5.4* Why are there car horns honking, road noise, and sounds that could be gunshots in the ambient sounds of the forest? Wtaf, VA? How’s any of that supposed to help me manage my ptsd symptoms? ### 1/5 — This app makes me wish I never served *2023-03-16, version 3.5* I hate this. It’s a bunch of no se e that helps taker responsibility off the healthcare workers who can’t even be bothered to show up on time to help veteran. This app and they make we want to delete everything ### 1/5 — Can’t even rate this app *2022-04-22, version 3.4* It did nothing for me when I needed guidance for a right at the moment situation. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-02-22, version 3.4* Crashes immediately 100% of the time. ### 1/5 — Oh please *2020-05-02, version 3.4* Could the VA find a program that doesn’t feel like it was designed for a kindergartener? This would be hilarious if I didn’t actually need help. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — US Army Active Duty *2026-08-10, version 4.0.1* PTSD coach has been a great help and guide to assisting in managing symptoms, stress, and life obstacles. And has helped me recognize my weaknesses and share them with my family. ### 5/5 — PTSD will never go away *2026-08-04, version 4.0.1* Calling resources don’t help child abuse and child help refused to help me and my children they would rather we be murders ### 5/5 — Valuable tool *2025-12-14, version 3.5.5* This app is the closest meaningful thing I was recommended by my treating psychologist PTSD can rob a person of so much it’s tough but it can be controlled don’t let it win ### 5/5 — A useful app that I listen to when needed a great ideal *2025-10-16, version 3.5.5* A much needed app if your alone this can help hopefully it will grow with more useful talking features thank you. ### 5/5 — Useful tool *2025-10-06, version 3.5.5* I don't have much to say other than my therapist told me to download this app. Overtime, I decided to get more into it. My favorite part is "seeing my strengths". It forces me to think positively about myself when I feel less than. ### 5/5 — App PTSD coach *2025-07-29, version 3.5.4* I fell upon this app by chance.

It's been very effective in reducing symptoms when I am triggered or stressed. I especially like the guided breathing, imagery and ambient sounds. Love that there are so many different tools to choose from (the art one is fun and surprisingly helpful), plus it's easy to use. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for app-based guidance on their PTSD journey. ### 5/5 — Beautiful_PTSD *2024-12-31, version 3.5.4* Great apps it help me to heal from PTSD. ### 5/5 — Great tool for managing your symptoms *2024-09-04, version 3.5.4* I use and recommend this to anyone experiencing any mental health issues. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
