The app is very easy to use, just plug in your earphones and play the audios to start feeling the positive benefits.

Rooted in the latest neuroscience and Olympic sports coaching techniques, our app helps you build mental strength, resilience, and positivity – so you can thrive, not just cope. A Unique, Upstream CBT Approach Unlike traditional CBT that targets negative thinking, our upstream CBT (uCBT) method focuses on increasing positive emotions first, which in turn transforms thoughts and behaviours.

How it started: Positive Mental Training was first used within the NHS for patients with low mood, stress and depression and we soon found that it was also being used by the doctors and nurses for their own benefit too. It can help with all life stresses, including burnout and sleep problems. The tracks in Sorted began with the 12 track Positive Mental Training audio CDs, when Dr Alastair Dobbin, a GP and Dr Sheila Ross, a ancadapted a Swedish Olympic Sports performance programme, drawn to its positive self-development focus. Since then research has demonstrated its ability to build good psychological functioning, as well as recovery from depression and anxiety. The App is used within the NHS by staff and patients, in many colleges and universities for staff and students and recommended in Public Health England ‘Every Mind Matters’ campaign, for NHS health and social care staff across Scotland. We are working on making the Sorted mental health app as accessible as possible so everyone can use the app. Our accessibility statement: https://www.sortedmentalhealth.app/feeling-good-app-accessibility-statement/ ## Key features - Positive Mental Training audios - Upstream CBT approach - Goal-oriented audio modules - Relaxation and visualization techniques - Mood and goal progress tracking - Customizable reader and music - Gamified progress with badges ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 Month With All Audio Tracks | $4.99 | per month | | 1 Year With All Audio Tracks | $49.99 | per year | | 1 Month With All Audio Tracks | $4.99 | per month | | 1 Year With All Audio Tracks | $49.99 | per year | | 1 Month With All Audio Tracks | $3.99 | per month | | 1 Year With All Audio Tracks | $34.99 | per year | | 1 Year With All Audio Tracks | $34.99 | per year | | 1 Month With All Audio Tracks | $3.99 | per month | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Unlock All Audio Tracks | $149.99 | one-time | | Unlock All Tracks 25% discount | $111.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 44) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sorted-mental-health/id941140783/reviews.md ### 5/5 — The best *2025-12-10, version 4.0.12* This app is amazing, I recommend it to anyone struggling with mental health problems. I’ve had depression for years and looked into all kinds of different apps to help me. Since making this purchase, I’ve never once regretted it. My mental health has improved and I love the range of different tracks you can listen to. I also love the fact there is a recommended section for when you fancy something different. 10/10, it’s so much better than those apps with an extortionate yearly/ monthly subscription. Only downside is that I have to play a track for 10 seconds before locking my phone otherwise it skips to a random point - but I still consider it 5 stars ### 1/5 — Crashing *2025-08-10, version 4.0.12* Unfortunately the app keeps crashing after I lock my phone? And I can then no longer open it anymore, I have to uninstall then reinstall. But then it just breaks again which is unfortunate as I was looking forward to using this app ### 1/5 — Updated App *2025-07-20, version 4.0.12* Since the recent update it keeps crashing. I delete and reinstall. Come out of the app to go back in and it crashes again and won’t reopen. Before the update, I used this nightly and when I needed to re-centre myself when things were tough around me. Really missing my nightly relax, hoping it fixes really soon, so I can do a 5⭐️ review ### 5/5 — Really helpful *2025-04-11, version 3.10.1* This app really helped me to move through a period of severe anxiety and depression. It enabled me to relax for the first time in forever and gave me practical tools to help bring me out of negative thought spirals. I can’t recommend this app highly enough! ### 5/5 — Definitely works *2025-01-03, version 3.10.1* During the first tracks which you repeat, I found I either fell into a deep sleep/hypnosis trance, and my body started doing the shaking that it does during trauma release exercises. Really effective versus traditional meditations, as you are guided to a relaxed place. I have a lot of trust in this app to be my guide and a tool to improve my stress levels. ### 5/5 — Seems to Work in the Background *2024-07-24* Though there isn’t really any practical advice on the tracks, something seems to work on a subconscious level. I’m not so sure about the choice of music; eg, on one of the tracks, we are asked to create a safe, quiet place in our minds, then PLUCK the guitar intrudes. I’m going to stick with this and see how it pans out. Update: the developers must have taken note of some of the negative reviews. It is much better now with the choice of piano or bird song and reader. Update 2: on reusing this app, I’ve noticed that there is another choice of voice to listen to and extra tracks. I have edited my review to 5 stars! **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your review with the update, and so glad that you like the new features in the app, with choice of music and reader. We are listening! ### 5/5 — Monthly snippets. *2023-11-12, version 3.6.41* Thank you for the October and November updates. I really enjoy them all Brilliant App. Thank you Alastair and Shiela. ### 5/5 — Lotus Lifting Spiritual Movement *2023-06-27, version 3.6.41* As a fully mindful practitioner this app isn't just helping myself through at a tough time it's helping my friends and clients theough sharing. For myself it is transformational a hit of rapid zen, it is like an instant relief to any form of overwhelment or unease in these busy times by just following simple audioble instructions. Such a great life tool. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-05-24, version 3.6.41* Very good designed and easy app ### 5/5 — Feeling even better… *2022-12-06, version 3.5.72* I was an early adopter of this great programme following exposure at the City Health Conference RCGP 2013… have recommended to colleagues and patients often and return to it often. Great to learn that the healthy eating module is getting an update….it’s the only thing that ever helps me to sustain weight loss ….. Given its debt to Team GB Olympic coaching style it would be good to see programmes to support a more active lifestyle; given the NHS target population support for drinking and drug use signposting to other resources for these would broaden application. Another embellishment might be to add in that annoying feature that you get in some apps “ are you enjoying Feeling Good “? - or have I missed this in my mindful euphoria? But the absence of intrusive features and advertising on pale imitations like headspace make the few pounds for full access well worth it. Thanks again. ## Frequently asked questions about Sorted ### What does the Sorted app do? The Sorted app provides audio sessions designed to improve mental well-being.
