User reviews

Great app!

Very educational, very easy to use, and with a great structure!

Simple & Effecive

One of the therapy tool app I’ve used. Even the free version is really helpful. The paid version has videos and can view more than 7 days of data.

Emotional train

I love this app so much. It’s so very helpful

Looking good

This is a great app to have on your phone. Makes diary cards much more accessible, especially if you are taking a DBT group with a weekly review or paper dairy cards. Regardless, this would give you a good start and overview of DBT.

The questions it ask as your going through the skills check list help me think about how I applied (or didn’t) each skill as well as refresh my memory of what each skill actually consists of and how it’s used. You can also add personal behaviors that you might want to work on.
The long term data tracking is nice to monitor patterns that you might not catch week by week. This free version is much better than the same type of app I paid 5$ for! Thanks!
