The EMDR Tappers app was designed by researchers, veterans, and licensed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) professionals to replicate EMDR therapy with only an iPhone and Apple Watch. Users can set the pace of animations, vibrations, and sounds. These stimuli are synchronized to replicate the benefits of EMDR therapy in any setting without the expensive, bulky equipment. Users can also use the app with just a single phone or two phones. All of this for free. No external, annoying ads. The core of EMDR therapy is bilateral stimulation—alternatively stimulating each side of the brain with sounds, lights, and vibrations. EMDR is a scientifically proven method of dealing with stress, anxiety, and other negative psychological conditions. The EMDR Tappers app combines the benefits of bilateral stimulation with positive affirmations. These affirmations are delivered bilaterally to help re-program your brain with healthy thoughts and beliefs. EMDR is a “strongly recommended” technique by the leading veterans' organizations, and the American Psychiatric Association has noted that EMDR is effective for treating PTSD symptoms. The premium version of the app allows users to set the color of the animation, choose the sound, and save custom settings as well as access preset settings. Download the app today to experience the power of bilateral stimulation. Terms of service: https://www.inspirehopecounseling.com/emdr-tappers-terms-of-service

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sentur at none against EMDR Tappers's shown. Sentur also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 51%). EMDR Tappers's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 118) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sentur sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $54.99 per year and EMDR Tappers sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Sentur against 4.8 for EMDR Tappers. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EMDR Tappers has 1.4K ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Sentur's written reviews are positive against 51% of EMDR Tappers's.
Sentur ships an update fortnightly, EMDR Tappers weekly. The most recent releases landed on July 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
