Whether you’re learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy, practicing between sessions or continuing after a skills group, keep your tools close throughout the day.

Find a skill for this moment
Follow guided exercises to practice mindfulness, manage strong emotions, get through distress and communicate your needs. Work through skills step by step and reflect on how you feel afterward.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-27, version 3.1*

Amazing app. Just what I needed for my mental health. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-08-26, version 3.1*

So so helpful. Incredible.

### 5/5 — One of the best DBT apps

*2026-08-18, version 3.1*

I work professionally in mental health and have downloaded and tried over 70 different apps, including 10 different DBT apps. This is one of the best apps skill for DBT. The skills are well explained and clinically valid, and it has an effective DBT diary card. Includes self-report assessments like the DERS-16. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Essential DBT

*2026-08-07*

Radically DBT serves as a therapeutic resource, providing evidence-based dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) tools and techniques. This season, consider investing in your mental health and well-being by integrating this resource into your healing process.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Hope the app has been serving you well :)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-07*

I’ve only had this for a little while but have spent a long time going through the skills and am really enjoying it. Thank you so much.

**Developer response:** Amazing!! I love that you’re exploring skills— I hope it continues to be useful to you!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-08-04, version 3.0*

This is perfect. Clear, concise, uncluttered. 

New to DBT and have been in what has felt like a hopeless place.

I was offered DBT by NHS and have started course. Initially was worried as been taught basics previously through a thick workbook which put me off as deemed overly complicated.

However, the course plus this fantastic app are starting to streamline the process and making me want to use it because every time I do the app shows me I feel demonstrably better than I had before I used.

This then is a Hope Machine in your pocket. 

I had a brief look at the other apps, most of which were prohibitively expensive for someone not able to work due to mental health issues, but they all seemed to my mind overly stuffed and cluttered, the very thing that erroneously put me off DBT in the first place.

This has a clear and clean interface, is incredibly intuitive to both the uninitiated and the becoming more initiated (and I’m sure to the fully initiated too) and sense that a lot of thought and love has gone into its development. I will also be recommending it to the therapists on my course.

Thank you very much and I will be entering the loveliness of this app, on the “Gratitude List” within this app, later today.

Thank you & God Bless

### 5/5 — Thank you!!!

*2026-07-30*

Wow this is just what I was looking for

**Developer response:** Hooray!! So happy it could be helpful!!

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-07-26, version 3.0*

Extremely useful for people doing DBT, and really simplifies the diary card process. Also has no in-app transactions.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-18, version 3.0*

This app is amazing!! Literally everything you could want from dbt- it’s concise and easy to follow. It doesn’t over complicate or drag it out and points you In the right direction based on how you’re currently feeling in the moment. Recommend!

### 5/5 — Surprisingly great

*2026-07-06, version 3.0*

I never really leave reviews, but this is so much better than I thought it would be and I’m really glad I downloaded it. The skills are really well explained and easy to follow even without much prior knowledge of DBT, it’s really easy to customise to what works for you and seems set up to help you practice and build the habit of reaching for the exercises in specific situations as well as being a space for reflection. I really like the hopebox feature and the ability to build your own stack of skills for specific situations. It even has good inbuilt puzzles for distraction. I’m also reassured that no data is collected from the app so I trust it with my private information enough to use it properly.
