ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EMDR 101 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EMDR 101 has 66 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of EMDR 101's written reviews are positive against 71% of Bust PTSD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EMDR 101 ships an update every 6 months, Bust PTSD every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
