### 5/5 — Well done!

*2026-06-14, version 3.0*

This is a well thought out app.  It is obviously made by someone who understands.  I get excited about new apps but quickly abandon them into the endless “later” box.  This one kept my attention and engagement for a considerable time right off the start.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-09, version 2.2*

Super thorough skills building section. It’s putting me through my paces and making me much more aware of my coping mechanisms. 
I find the layout easy to navigate, the various colours and styling make it pleasing to interact with and I am reaching for the app daily, which is huge!!!
Bravo, it’s a phenomenal
App for people that truly need the support of something designed brilliantly!
It’s important that this app doesn’t share data, otherwise I couldn’t fully apply myself and get full value. Already sharing with friends!

### 5/5 — Best DBT App Around

*2026-05-29, version 2.2*

I have been searching for an actually helpful app for DBT and haven’t been able to find one until now. This app has everything that I need to help practice DBT. 

One suggestion and request:
- I got a new phone and lost all my old data because my iCloud wasn’t back up. (My fault entirely) I’m not sure if possible but being able to link an email to this app would have allowed me to recover my data easier. 

I also love this app so much, I’d ld love to be able to use it on the go with my Apple Watch. Having that support would be HUGE. Even if it was just a reminder to check in with the app.

### 5/5 — DBT app

*2026-05-28, version 2.2*

This is the best mental health app I have ever used. It has truly changed my life. Thank you so much for making mental health help accessible.

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing life saver

*2026-05-12, version 2.12*

Learned these skills at a partial hospitalization program for trauma and this app helps prepare for post-discharge

### 5/5 — Absolutely incredible

*2026-04-25*

So intuitive and fun to use!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, wonderful to hear it is working for you!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-16, version 1.4.0*

This has been working well for me and I’ve been using it along with therapy. Each day I can see what skills I’ve used and how much I’m improving and learning. Very thankful for this resource.

### 5/5 — The best dbt app ever

*2026-04-14, version 1.4.0*

Thank you so much for keeping it free,its truly life changing

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2026-04-02, version 1.4.0*

Such careful clinical thought obviously went into the content in this app and navigation is smooth. Grateful for this resource.

### 5/5 — This app is great.

*2026-03-20, version 1.4.0*

I’m recently trying DBT by myself and this signals what is important to keep you consistent. Great

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-03-05, version 1.4.0*

This is such a wonderful tool to remember the tools I learn in IOP. Just helped me to ride out a panic attack. Thank you so much for making this free.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-02-06, version 1.2.2*

Detailed made for the mentally ill and accessible to everyone thank you

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-01-28, version 1.2.2*

As a DBT therapist I have been testing apps for my clients to use. This is the best so far. Whoever built it clearly knows their DBT. Simple to use and customisable!

### 5/5 — Edit- saves

*2026-01-21, version 1.2.2*

Perfect app as someone who benefits from radical DBT

### 5/5 — The DBT app of my dreams

*2026-01-11, version 1.2.2*

I’m going to recommend this to the therapy team that I did nine months of DBT with. This is the perfect DBT companion. It brings it to life and allows you to have input into your learning, meaning you get more out of the material. Excellent design, doesn’t scrape and sell your data, doesn’t ask for money. 
I was looking for a DBT app for the longest time, and this ticks all my boxes.

### 5/5 — Genuinely the best dbt app and its free

*2025-12-12, version 1.2.2*

I love this app. Not only does it let you track your emotions and how many times you’ve used certain skills, but it walks you through using each skill. Its been a lifesaver. Especially because I wasn’t super aware of all of the skills. Its also just designed really well and easy to use. I’m not sure if the developer will read this but if theres some way I can donate to help keep this app free for everyone i will.

### 5/5 — Essential DBT

*2025-11-27, version 1.2.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Had to redownload

*2025-11-23, version 1.2.0*

It wouldn’t save my entries until I deleted it and redownloaded it, now that it’s working it’s great, really like this app!

### 3/5 — Mostly Great App

*2026-01-17, version 1.2.2*

This app is really visually appealing and easy to use. It’s also customizable. My issue though is that I’ll add customizations, like adding moods or target behaviors, and then the app will delete the customizations and set it back to default. Which is very frustrating. This is the best app I’ve found, and if it wasn’t for this issue, it would have gotten 5 stars from me easily. Fingers crossed it gets fixed.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2025-11-19, version 1.1.2*

I want to love this app, I love the UI and the skill stacks. I think that there should be more options for customisation within entries, but it is fine as is too. Unfortunately, I seem to be experiencing a number of bugs, such as data being overwritten and data that I did not enter showing up anyway (for example, moods I did not log). The skills library is still very valuable though and makes the app worth keeping on my phone. This app seems relatively new so I hope with time the bugs will be fixed.

### 4/5 — Maybe Helpful?

*2026-06-17, version 3.0*

I don’t know if I’m the right person this app is geared towards or I’m just not accustomed to DBT method after being in CBT for years. 

BUT the app is beautiful and it offers so much! I’ll keep trying it and exploring it to hopefully utilize all the help it does offer.

### 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, version 3.0*

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-07, version 3.0*

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.

### 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, version 3.0*

Wow this is just what I was looking for

## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated)

### 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.
