I would have liked more directions, and the lack of them at times could be frustrating, but I saw changes in myself which is most important. ### 4/5 — Update *2026-01-15, version 3.2.5* Can you please make the Remind button more accessible for IOS. Its hidden under the keyboard and it takes several attempts to tap it to execute, save and move on to the next day. ### 3/5 — I really want to use this, but… *2025-12-19, version 3.2.4* The first lesson says it takes 30-45 minutes, the actual lesson is 12mins and then tells you to “go to the brain preparation section next”. Where is this? ### 5/5 — The only thing that has worked for me. *2025-10-18, version 3.2.3* For decades now, I have tried different modalities, without sustained success. The guidance from Dr.Leaf is uncanny. As I have gone through the first 21 days, which has actually taken me about three months, I have been astounded by what she is saying correlating exactly with what I am feeling that day. I am in my mid 60s and this has been incredibly life altering and joy giving for me. ### 4/5 — Un outil puissant *2025-10-06, version 3.2.2* Cette application est très utile. J’aimerais qu’elle existe également pour les francophones. Par contre parfois il est difficile question de musique qui ne sont pas dans les audios dommage. Mais cela n’empêche pas de l’utiliser. Merci ### 4/5 — Technique: 5 ⭐️, App: 4 ⭐️ *2025-10-02, version 3.2.2* This technique is really amazing. However after starting a new cycle I can’t go pass through the first steps of writing the 3 toxic thoughts. That’s frustrating! ### 2/5 — Bugs galore *2025-09-17, version 3.2.2* I'm sure the content is great but wherever it asks you to write something, the 'next' button disappears. I bought this app because I'm in pain but all this app has done is reinforce my belief that nothing works for me. ### 5/5 — Practical Exercises *2025-09-08, version 3.2.1* Practical easy yo follow exercises in manageable short timelines. This made it easy for me t follow through cause I knew u did not need hours to do what I wanted to do. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2025-09-04, version 3.2.1* If you’re tired of being tired take a chance on this app. I can notice a dip in my mental health when I take a couple days off of doing this neurocycle. I plan on doing it again just to really see what kind of difference I can make in my self. Just finished day 21 and the kintsugi metaphor really hit home for me. The art of mending broken vases with gold. That’s what this app is doing for my mind ### 5/5 — Hard But Worth It *2025-09-01, version 3.1.6* I have had the Neurocycle for about 3 months now. Within my first few days I was able to see patterns, recognize triggers, and identify lies I had believed. It felt like putting together a puzzle and helped to bring closure in ways I didn’t know I needed. It is time consuming…and hard…but healing is hard and trauma is time consuming and hard rather you deal with it or suppress it. And the Dr. Leaf creates a safe and loving environment on this app. I would find it super helpful if there was a Lifetime one time payment option…I would love to become a Neurocycle user for life. ❤️ Thank you to everyone to helped to put this app together! ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2025-09-01, version 3.1.6* I am so thankful for what this app is helping me to achieve in my life. Calmness and a decrease in anxiety started as the first symptoms. I am so glad I found support to deal with my intrusive thoughts, learn about what my mind needs to rest, and the assurance that I need to be intentional to have results. Thank you for the results I’ve got so far. ### 5/5 — It Works! *2025-08-30, version 3.1.6* Neurocycle is not a product or app you use and then discard when you're done. Even if you go through the brain detox, do the work, and then decide to unsubscribe, "Neurocycle" stays with you. The rewiring and detox plan is so effective, you will change. A beautiful, powerful, healthy, reinforced kind of change. The biggest takeaway from my time with Neurocycle, is the growth in my autonomy. You definitely get out of it what you put into it. Worth every moment of hard work and every penny!! ### 5/5 — This is a life game changer *2025-08-29, version 3.1.6* The Neurocycle app by Dr. Caroline Leaf has truly been a game changer for me. Before using it, I felt like I was stuck in a rut, but after just two or three cycles I noticed a real shift. Each time I used it, my mindset improved — and that change in perspective began to influence what I was attracting into my life, ultimately giving me a more positive outlook overall. One of the most profound parts of the experience is the sense of calm it brings at the start of my day. Simply putting on the app and listening to Dr. Leaf’s voice guide me through the process feels grounding and empowering. It’s amazing to know that while I’m listening, I’m actively working on building new neural pathways in my brain. The science and research behind the app are incredible, and it’s clear that it’s designed with real depth and purpose. I can honestly say it’s had a profound impact on both my mindset and my daily life. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Very grateful for this App *2025-08-29, version 3.1.6* I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Leaf’s books and the Neurocycle app which have profoundly impacted my emotional health. Having experienced a traumatic childhood marked by eight out of the 10 adverse childhood events, (ACE), I was left with deeply rooted, toxic thoughts, and knee jerk reactions that seemed insurmountable on my own. Despite spending thousands of dollars on therapy over the years, I saw a little improvement. In 2022 I decided to try the Neurocycle app. Initially skeptical, I soon found the apps questions to be insightful, guiding me to confront and comprehend the effects of my complex childhood trauma. More importantly, it helped me to reconceptualize these experiences. 2022 became a transformative year, as I began to find a deep sense of calm in my life. Since then I’ve revisited the app several times, each time gaining more insights and making significant strides toward emotional well-being. Thank you, Dr. Leaf! ### 5/5 — Revolutionary *2025-08-29, version 3.1.6* I’ve always followed Dr. Leaf and neurocycling changed my life. I tell all my friends and family. I wouldn’t be the same person without it. Everyone can benefit! ### 5/5 — Huge help *2025-08-29, version 3.1.6* As a parent, I’ve found the Neurocycle app really helpful for managing my stress and staying calmer in tough moments. The step by step process gives me a way to slow down, process my emotions, and respond with more patience instead of reacting out of frustration. It’s helped me be more present with my kids and show up as the kind of parent I want to be. ### 5/5 — This is life changing for REAL *2025-08-29, version 3.1.6* I used the 21 day cycle app to help me overcome fear and people-pleasing, to start. It transformed the way I think and how I genuinely respond to others and situations that would previously make me feel strong mental and emotional discomfort. I bought Dr. Leaf’s books and went to hear her speak in 2019. I’m know longer interested in people pleasing and I don’t live in a state of perpetual fear. I have muscle memory at times but I literally SWITCH my brain on in real time and gather myself. This new way of thinking has affected every area of my life, how I make decisions and how I do and show up relationships. I still talk about Dr. Leaf’s work because people who know me see the difference and new people just admire how I show up in my world. Thank you so much, Dr. Leaf. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-27, version 3.3.9* Can’t get past the home screen ### 1/5 — Сделай на русском !!! *2026-08-03, version 3.3.8* Сделайте на русском ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2025-12-05, version 3.2.4* The explanation on how the app works is 3 videos that last about 10 minutes total where the woman says the same 8 buzz words around 7,936 times. She just repeats herself but rearranges the order of the words so it sounds interesting. It’s “based on science” but gives no scientific data, sources, or even a single example. Don’t waste your time downloaded, it’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back. ### 1/5 — Not a good advertisement *2025-08-16, version 3.1.5* I thought I’d try this app after reading Dr Caroline Leaf’s latest book and this was advertised in the back of it. For the tech team (if they exist) I’m on an iPhone 16 iOS 18.6 and couldn’t get any of the welcome videos to play, when clicking next past them it took me straight to the subscription page 😄 I decided I would try the 3 day free trial and so far I’ve come across a webinar that is upcoming in March 2025 (I’m writing this in August 2025) and a video I was watching that would not recognise me hitting the X to close out of it - I had to close the whole app in the end. Not a great advertisement for Dr Leaf. ### 1/5 — 3 Day Trial is a lie *2025-08-05, version 3.1.4* I assumed I'd actually get to use the app in some limited form for 3 days to try it out. But no after creating an account i was presented with intro videos that couldn't play. And all functionality is locked behind a subcribe for continued access popup! Hilariously, this subcribe to unlock popup dares claim "first 3 days free". Yes they're free if you don't want to actually do anything! I registered with a different email then my icloud account maybe that's the issue? But if it is, please add a error message for this. I did end up subscribing, which then mentions some 3day free trial 🤯 That's not how a free trial works! The free trial should start after i make an account but before I subscribe otherwise it's a lie. ### 1/5 — Glitchy app *2025-07-13, version 3.1.4* I was charged $16.04 for an app that doesn’t work properly. I have emailed customer service twice with no response. The app will not allow me to advance past Day 1. The lack of tech support is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Not even able to begin *2025-06-10, version 3.1.4* I really wanted to love this. I read the reviews about how glitchy the app is, and that did put me off, but I thought I’d try it anyway. I opened it to a welcome page with 3 sliders, opening first to a video that wouldn’t play. Then I tried to move to the next slide and the whole thing disappeared, taking me to a home page where I can’t access anything without first paying. And there’s no way to get back to that welcome page again. Other reviews say they could do the first day or two or three before paying. I’ve not been able to do any of it. How can I pay for something when I don’t yet know what it is? I don’t know how much time each day will require, I don’t know the presentation type, nothing. Such a shame! I was going to do this to recommend to my clients. But I can’t. Tech-team or Leaf, please read your reviews and fix these glitches. ### 1/5 — NOT A FREE APP *2025-06-05, version 3.1.4* They don’t tell you how much the use of the app is until after you go through the process to download it. You’re unable to access the resources until you “subscribe” agreeing to a monthly charge. Very misleading and ironic given that it’s advertised as help for your anxiety. Having to navigate all the deceptive practices on-line is anxiety provoking, so great job Neurocycle ### 1/5 — This APP does not work *2025-05-01, version 3.0.0* This used to work and now it does not so don’t waste your money - why can’t they fix the problem ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2025-04-28, version 3.0.0* Every time I touch the register button the app crashes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Breakthrough *2026-08-20, version 3.3.9* I have experienced so many moments NOW, when I don’t cry or overreact and when I stand back and observe I am so proud that my toxic thought is no longer controlling my behaviours. My mind is less fuzzy and I feel lighter! ### 5/5 — Do it *2026-07-20, version 3.3.6* If you are stuck and can’t seem to move past your thoughts, use this, it will help move you past that toxic thought. ### 5/5 — Rising ABOVE trauma! *2026-04-23, version 3.3.2* On my 2nd 63-day cycle through this Neurocycle app. It is still mind blowing to me how incredibly it works to set me free from toxic thoughts, (most formed by 4 years old and carried with me til now at 50 years old). I have gone through counselling for 2 years and it helped a lot but all I knew were the “whys”. This app actually sets me free from even the “whys” and into freedom, autonomy and choosing the kind of thought-life I want to have. I am finally free from my past. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Caroline Leaf. Forever grateful for your life’s work and purpose. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-03-28, version 3.3.1* 21 days in and amazed at his much better I feel. ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2026-03-25, version 3.3.1* Highly recommend! Anyone willing to put in the work to do the Neurocycle will gain something from it. I’m grateful for the tools and skills I have been learning along this journey. Thank you Dr. Leaf! ### 5/5 — Thank you for giving me a way out ❤️ *2026-02-15, version 3.2.5* I started the Neurocycle app after listening to Dr. Leaf’s interview on the Mel Robbins podcast back in December. I was facing some pretty challenging circumstances in my life and found myself getting to a very dark place where I was losing all hope. I started to doubt that I would ever find joy or peace again. I would ruminate constantly… a spiral of negativity I couldn’t seem to stop. I was angry all the time and would be having these mental fights with other people in my mind all day. It felt like I was losing control and didn’t know how to find my way back. The 63 day Neurocycle changed everything. I started seeing where and when these patterns started and why they were suddenly triggered so intensely now. And as I saw these things, everything started to make sense. Even though the emotional and physical reactions in my body still happened for quite awhile, their sting lessened and I started to feel like I was regaining control. Today I have a sense of calm and joy that is unlike anything I’ve ever known before. This process has opened my eyes to other areas in my life where I can apply these methods to find even greater freedom and peace. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Leaf for giving me back …me. ### 5/5 — MindBody healing *2026-02-08, version 3.2.5* The best thing I have done in 15 years to get free from pain and anxiety. Thanks for helping me get my life back. ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2025-12-07, version 3.2.4* As a life coach, I have helped thousands of people transform their lives. The Neurocycle process adds another layer that is even more powerful and effective! It produces real results that are proven because of its clear structure and ability to rewire the brain. I highly recommend this app and this process to every human on the planet! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-24, version 3.2.3* This is really helpful and simple ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-11-08, version 3.2.3* Best app I have ever used or purchased! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
