Good app - BUT no response if query

This is a good app. I find that the interactive elements really help because they make me think and reflect. The Nudge is such a good idea too. I also like the fact that I can either read or listen to an exercise as suits your circumstances. The only suggestion I would make is that I sometimes get a message on my screen but then, when I click on it, it disappears. If I remember, I take a screenshot but it is sometimes evident that the message is not complete and I can't see the rest of it because it disappears when I click on it. A minor point, but perhaps a section for messages sent to us would be worth considering?

Update: I have knocked off a star because, although the app says we can edit or keep adding to our Compassionate Kitbag, there is no way to do this in the app. I have twice sent an email to ask how to do this but, apart from an auto-response saying that someone will get back to me in 24-48 hours, they don't. Disappointing.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words. We're delighted you're enjoying the interactive features and nudges. We also really appreciate your suggestion about messages disappearing and having a message history—it’s valuable feedback, and we'll be sure to share it with our team as we continue improving the app.

Helpful Reminders

Great app for someone cultivating kindness towards themselves. It’s helping me be better about that and I recommend it.

Well designed

Using this app has helped me over the past few weeks. I find the lessons well informed and grounded in theory and I appreciate how the app builds upon itself. I am surprised by the insights it has provided to me thus far. It complements what I am working on with my therapist. Thank you for making such a well conceived tool for personal reflection and growth.

Why?

A lot of people turn to these types of things to help them get understanding or to just help them in general. And when the app says oh we’re here to help but you have to pay for it? Really? What’s the point, you might as well just make people submit their insurance information! This is BS!

I downloaded this app last week and I’m loving it. It’s a really helpful format for me to refresh my self compassion practise. I love the daily practical tools and prompts and useful exercises which are there when I need them. I’ve already recommended it to friends and family. 😁

Great App BUT

Great self help app that I really enjoyed using I found it very helpful. Unfortunately the price after the trial in my opinion is too much so decided to not carry on using.

Just starting out

Just starting my cft journey. I’ve found the app very informative and full of different tools. Love the way the courses layer ontop of each other. Was a big purchase but I feel it’s been worth the investment.

Great app!

Substantive app with lots of concrete information and tangible practices to apply. I really like how accessible the information is. Beautiful interface as well. I also bought the corresponding work book and like it because I can go deeper into the subject matter. Highly recommend!

Excellent

This is more than just an app. It brings together valuable information and a wealth of resources in one place. It’s a great focal point to work through self-understanding and practical changes. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Super helpful

I find the app easy to use and helpful for growing self compassion. The mindfulness and meditation tools are really varied in lengths so there is always something I can choose to do. It’s helping me manage stress, anxiety and overwhelm so really useful as part of my toolkit for day to day wellbeing.
