### 4/5 — update needed

*2024-03-30, version 3.35*

i have used and loved this app for years. it has helped me at very low points. however, with the newer themes that are getting more specific, an update is needed. please either allow us to favorite themes or put them in a custom order, or have the themes we select the most automatically at the top. the first themes i see when i go to find a limiting belief i’m having are passive aggressive, support workers, aging, aggression and violence, anger, and then the first one relevant to me: anxiety. one of these updates would significantly improve the user experience.

### 5/5 — Incredible app

*2019-06-24, version 2.6.1*

I work in a high stress job and always have poor sleep, aches, knots in my neck and shoulders and find it difficult to unwind, de-stress and perform effectively because of the rollercoaster.  The audio alone helped me recognise how much I overthink trying to fix everything when simplicity is key. Thank you for a wonderful app!

### 4/5 — Loved v1

*2019-05-08, version 2.4*

The concept for this app is wonderful, and I have used it with patients. What this app needed was more Themes, which were held out as coming soon in V1. Instead, in V2 the developer made the app confusing to use. Sad.

### 5/5 — Really helped with my anxiety

*2019-04-04, version 2.4*

I’m not why this app does not have a higher rating because it has personally helped me so much! The breathing excersises have helped me the most and the most recent update has added more audios which honestly have been so helpful. I usually find it incredibly hard to get out of a panic attack/ cycle but these audios have made a huge improvement in my life. I recommend this app to anyone suffering with anxiety, it has a varied amount of specification for the type of anxiety which you may experience which is what impressed the most, I was able to find specialised help for my issues that do not fall under typical generalised ideas of anxiety.

### 5/5 — Updates?

*2019-01-14, version 2.1.1*

I have been receiving lots of help with this app and some of the coming soon topics I feel I could also benefit from so just wondering if those are going to come out any time soon ☺️ Also could u allow some flexibility in viewing the limiting beliefs of different categories like before instead of just focusing on one I want to be able to freely explore what would help me Thank you

### 5/5 — Life changer

*2018-12-10, version 1.0.13*

This is a really really great app - a tool that’s always at hand to review your thoughts. Thank you! Can’t wait for the apps’ developments and broadened scope of other ‘challenges’!

### 4/5 — Good MVP

*2018-07-20, version 1.0.9*

I really love the concept! It felt like little words of reason to counter my anxious thoughts.
I would love to see “health anxiety” or “trust” related topics in future app releases!

### 5/5 — Add more detail

*2018-04-25, version 1.0.7*

Thanks for adding more content. Feedback changed accordingly.

### 5/5 — Excellent and Quick repsonse

*2018-04-09, version 1.0.6*

I gave this a 4 star originally because the content is great. It really helped me. 

However I have had this for several months and some of the topics are still unavailable. I am willing to pay but the topics I want remain locked. 

I contacted them and got an instant response so I am happy as I know there is a team working on it.

Great tool.

### 4/5 — Great App, Waiting for Updates!

*2018-02-01, version 1.0.4*

This app has actually helped me start to think differently criticism, self image, etc. I purchased because I saw so many promising ‘coming soons’. Hope to see some of these updates sooner than later!

### 5/5 — Love it. Worth it.

*2017-12-19, version 1.0.4*

In the short time that I’ve had this app, I can really see its worth. It is clear how this training will improve my anxiety and I already feel less hopeless and “stuck”. I love it already and can’t wait to see where it goes. So much value for this app. Could not recommend this enough. It takes cognitive behavioural therapy and turns it into tiny bite size, easy to digest pieces. Tackling my anxiety never seemed so doable. 

I suggest that if you save the same “challenge” from a different “think ladder” that it doesn’t save the “challenge” multiple times. Save it just once in the gallery but when you click “view user journey” show the multiple different journeys that got us there to saving the challenge. This would prevent my gallery from saying the same thing multiple times. Maybe have multiple stars or something in the corner to indicate that you have multiple journeys leading there.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — nothing is accessible without a paid subscription

*2024-12-29, version 3.39*

title says it all. don't bother downloading unless you're ready to whip out your wallet

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2021-10-30, version v3.9*

Would be a great app if it wasn’t almost $10 to unlock a singular pathway/“insight”, it’s also $80 to unlock all of them. A lot, if not most people struggling with mental illness are also struggling financially. I’m sure you all put a lot of work into this app but, charging people who need help that much money just to get a couple of therapy/shadow work questions that they can look up online and journal themselves? It’s tone deaf.

### 1/5 — New version crashes

*2019-06-16, version 2.6.1*

Thinkladder is a great concept and the first version was great. The newer version is not as intuitive to use and it crashes. Every. Single. Time. 

I occasionally try it every couple of months but it never works anymore. Time to delete.

### 1/5 — Quotes?

*2018-03-11, version 1.0.4*

Have I just paid for a load of quotes that frankly, always pop up on facebook anyway? They have lots of category’s but most of them are saying ‘coming soon’ so I presume they aren’t available for the money I have already spent. This should be clearly stated before hitting the buy app option. It’s a real shame because it looked great. I’m not sure how ‘quotes’ are meant to get to the route of the problem....

### 1/5 — Audio insights don't work

*2017-11-02, version 1.0.3*

This is a good app- but the audio insights don't work and I've no idea how to contact the company to tell them...

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2020-01-09, version 2.9*

App crashes during practice every time. iPhone 6 latest iOS. So much potential. Please review.

### 2/5 — Coming soon-more like never ?

*2018-06-23, version 1.0.9*

For an app that has gained so much publicity.  Follow through on the coming soon parts are terrible- never coming. 

Same quotes come up on a range of “triggers/unhelpful thought patterns” can get repetitive. Again, run out of inspiration.

### 3/5 — Come sooner!

*2018-10-21*

I really love this app but the coming ‘soon’ themes are taking a long time! They all sounds great it would just be cool to access a few more of them

### 3/5 — Almost perfect...

*2018-01-09, version 1.0.4*

This app is great. Well designed and easy to use Except that the guided meditation feature (music note) has only ever displayed the first 4 insights i chose to save and no matter what I try I can’t add any new ones. I find that SO frustrating... along with the fact that there is literally no option to contact anyone from the app through their website or App Store. I paid for this, I should be able to contact someone with my questions but I can’t!

### 3/5 — Incomplete product

*2017-12-19, version 1.0.4*

Great app. The only issue is most of the themes are coming soon. Hopefully they’ll be released more quickly.

### 5/5 — An amazing tool for self-coaching

*2025-11-06, version 3.40*

This is the best tool I’ve found for affirmations. The interface itself is simple and calming and the insights shared are not too cheesy.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-07-08, version 3.39*

Love this app great for tough times and battling negative thoughts

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2025-05-25, version 3.39*

By far the best app I have ever tried! Great for helping you deal with troublesome thoughts!

### 5/5 — Amazing !!!

*2025-01-11, version 3.39*

This app is so underrated, I think it’s great and should be more mainstream.

### 5/5 — Helpful, under appreciated app

*2023-10-02, version 3.30.1*

I love this app. I make use of the reminder function and I feel like it’s really helping me remember affirming statements more than any other app. The journal function is also really helpful. Not to mention, this app is pay once to unlock all. Thank you to the devs. Keep up the great work 🩵

### 5/5 — Something different!

*2022-05-23, version 3.14*

I have used Thinkladder for a few years now. Sometimes I struggle to put aside time for using it, but it doesn't stop me from finding value in the regular insight reminders I have set up. Occasionally I open up the app to find some fresh insights or use the insight journal. The loneliness guided audio practices were transformative for me, especially during lockdown in 2021.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2021-12-23, version 3.10*

Great app for affirmations and journalling when you just need a reminded of the more logical and positive side of things. Had app support from Matt to gain access some of paid features which was a real bonus (:

### 5/5 — Helpful & beautiful

*2021-06-25, version 3.4*

Thank you to the makers of this app. Truly helpful insights and framework for self-talk, I get these reiterated to me every day just in time to calm me down and steel me. Thank you

### 5/5 — Best mindfulness app I have found

*2021-04-24, version 3.3*

The more I use this app the more change I see and feel. The first time I used this app I felt a moment of change in my emotions and thoughts and now I’m seeing contentment of life and how beautiful the world actually is around me x also the app is very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app!

*2021-01-16*

I’ve never seen anything like this!
