There are so many useful tools which I use everyday to help me. Just brilliant.” – App Store review by JaneAllan258 “Each time I use either of the tools I feel much better. I decided to commit to purchasing the app to unlock the courses and it was the best thing I’ve spent money on in a very long time. I’ve been consistent with using the course for 27 days now and I am a better, more aware person now because of it. My life is changed now since doing the breathing exercises. I can’t say enough positive things about this app!!” – App Store review by KLLoring “Provides everything you could possibly want in a wellbeing app!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BilateralBase holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anxiety Solution & Relief has 240 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Anxiety Solution & Relief's written reviews are positive against 0% of BilateralBase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anxiety Solution & Relief ships an update every 6 weeks, BilateralBase fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
