### 5/5 — Success

*2023-04-20*

I’m so glad this app was available to me.  I’d tried something similar several years ago and then it was no longer supported so I couldn’t keep up with it for maintenance.   And I succumbed to biting my nails again.  It is my one bad habit & has been super hard to break. 

This app felt like it worked instantly for me!
 I’m on week 4 without one instance of bringing my fingers to my mouth.   And I’m so grateful because I was embarrassed of anyone seeing my nails before.  Yes - a 5* rating.

### 5/5 — Stopped nail biting in 2 weeks.

*2023-01-18*

I used Sue’s app and after biting my nails since I was a child, I stopped in 2 weeks and had beautiful nails in a month. I do use a refresher session every month or so.

### 5/5 — I don't bite my nails anymore

*2022-11-11*

I bit them from when I was a little kid. It was embarrassing. I can't get used to long nails so I keep them trimmed.. with clippers and emory boards.
The nail beds are longer and healthier and I don't have the gouged up skin surrounding them like before.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — It actually worked!

*2022-07-04*

I’m a prolific nail biter but this app played at bedtime has worked wonders, I’m actually considering a manicure for the first time! I’m going to try it on my son next who has bitten his nails and the surrounding skin since a year old due to numerous appointments that have made him anxious… I hope it works for him too 🤞🏻💅🏻

### 5/5 — It really does work

*2021-08-02*

I was very sceptical after biting my nails on a daily basis for 30 years until they were very sore. I’m about 2 weeks in and I’ve never had my nails so long. Very impressed and really pleased. Thank you to the creators of the app

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-04-04*

Used this app about 6years ago and I stopped biting my nails and they grew lovely. Unfortunately due to anxiety with lockdown I have lapsed back, so am using it again. I have no doubt whatsoever that I will stop biting my nails again when I use this app. Also it gives you about 30mins of peace and quiet, blissful

### 5/5 — 35 and bitten my nails all my life

*2020-12-15*

I use reviews all the time and hardly ever write any but I thought I should for this app because for the first time in a very long time I have nails! 
I used to chew my fingers every day till they hurt. I’ve now been listening to this for the last few weeks and it’s worked. I use it at night before I go to sleep and I tend to listen most nights. Thanks to the makers of this app as you’ve saved me a fortune in acrylic nails!!

### 5/5 — Very happy!

*2020-12-06*

After more than 3 decades of nail biting, I’m happy to say this app has helped me stop. It did take some time, but by using this app and setting serious goals, my nails are looking great. I also use this app when I can’t sleep and I am usually knocked out within 10 minutes, so that is another plus! I’m also happy there is a Facebook support group alongside this app. Also very helpful to know you’re not alone in this terrible habit.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2020-08-22*

I have absolutely no idea what the hypnosis sessions say or how it works but I just know it does!! 👍🥰

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-08-19*

I’m 34 years old and been biting my nails my entire life. I downloaded the app and first listened on a Sunday afternoon and not bitten my nails since - that was about 5 weeks ago! I’ve listened each night before I go to sleep and I’ve found it also helps me sleep better, which is a great added benefit. I no longer have to use willpower as I have no desire to my bite my nails for the first time ever! I couldn’t be happier and only wish I’d have gotten it sooner 😊
