has helped me throughout the years
I have been able to develop my strategies to overcome my anxiety and also come down from panic attacks using this app, it’s really great for anxiety 🩵
Useless
Tried to give the app a shot, but absolutely nothing in it works. Creating goals, putting down current mental state etc.. all errors. The app caused me more stress trying to use it.
fix slider
the app is good but that slider thing that describes your anxiety is really annoying to use like if you try slide it up most times it will just move the screen up.
Visually terrible
Print is too small. Not enough contrast between print and background. Glad I didn’t spend money on this
The ground up rebuilt was for the worse
Why did you get rid of meditations for test anxiety? I am not interested in reading about it in the app. The app is now like textbook on anxiety, not a useful tool any more
Good app
It’s a good app to calm your anxiety down
Stopped working
Had it for a about a week then it just said error after error and wouldn’t work.
Amazing app
Really good at keeping track of how often you have anxiety
Relief? How?
I don’t know or understand how this app is supposed to help with anxiety. I do breath work on my own, I try to analyze “what’s going on” when I feel certain ways and it doesn’t help. How is this app different? Sure, knowing about different types of anxiety is “interesting” but it doesn’t help me. Writing down what’s going on when I feel certain ways doesn’t help. It just highlights the fact that I can’t handle or do anything about some everyday life situations which is crippling. It’s not like I can avoid life. So I don’t see how this app helps. Sorry. It’s more of a constant reminder of how, for a lack of better words, messed up I am.
Zing zing amazing
Good
Please fix log saving error
Best app for anxiety out there very useful but for a long time I have not been able to save behavioural experiments or thought logs and this has been very challenging. Please fix soon!
Need to create an account
I tried to used the app but no way to test it and there’s no way to give it a try without having to go through a form that doesn’t work (no error message). Frustrated, I just abandoned.
Small
Could be great to be able to increase font size. It’s very small in community on a phone.
De nombreux manque et Difficulté de navigation !
-Il manque les traductions.. pour ma part : de l’anglais>français -& autres langues.. -L’on ne peut faire un copier/coller d’un texte ! -aucun onglet d’aide en ligne n’est proposé ! Enfin les fonds d’écran son pâle et toutes les annotations et texte divers : tout autant ! - et tout cela dans une typographie minuscule sur un smartphone .. Qui rend l’ensemble pas agréable !! Enfin .. l’on ne peut effectuer une lecture en loupe ! Vous l’aurez compris : beaucoup de points négatifs pour une appli plutôt utile. À vous lire.. Bonne réception et belle journée à Tous..
Bro
I live the interface, and everything about the app. Except for the fact that YOUR STUPID COMMUNITY TUING IS 18+ AND YOU CANT CHANGE UR AGE. LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO 13+
Life-Changing App for Managing Stress
MindShift is one of the best wellness apps I’ve used. The layout is clean, the guidance is easy to follow, and the tools genuinely help improve mindset and emotional regulation. I appreciate how it teaches real skills you can apply daily, not just quick fixes. It’s been a great support for staying grounded, focused, and more mindful. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their mental well-being.
No longer funded
Does not work
Love the app!
I love this app so much and I’ve been using it for over 3 years now. It really helps me relax. My only problem with it though, is that in the journal component, you can only type 400 characters. I usually only use it when I need to vent, but I need to type much more than 400 characters. Other than this, I love the app and I would recommend it to anyone with anxiety or anyone that simple just needs to relax.
Has Potential but has issues
This app was recommended to me recently. I have had to remove and reinstall the app a couples times just to be able to create an account. Once I was finally able to create an account, it was go light in colour and offers no dark mode, for those of us who have light sensitivity it makes it hard. It’s also slow and glitchy. Pages aren’t loading. Hopefully the developer will fix the issues and will also put out a dark mode. I do like that I can use this to track my mood daily and write. A blurb about my mood. 400 character limit might be an issue. Maybe not though.
Thought journaling
Could you please let people fought journal as long as they want to you limit the amount of characters people can use and that’s no good and also if I wanna look at that journal again, it doesn’t open up and let you read everything you journal could fix that please
FIX IT PLEASE
UR APP IS ALWAYS BROKEN I CANT CHECK IN. I CANT WRITE ANYTHING FIX IT PLEASE
Doesnt work
I would say probably 90% of the time, this app doesnt work. Cant click on anything, pages dont load. Virtually useless most of the time.
Great, but...
I really like this app. It is great. It's so great I wanted to get my daughter to use it. Alas she's only 10 and the app is 12+, which I guess is why I'm having issues creating an account for her. It's not just kids older than 12 that experience anxiety. Requiring an account is also irritating - why is an account required?
The app won’t work since you’ve upgraded
I’ve always enjoyed the meditations on the app and the ability to write my thoughts out so that I can challenge them. But ever since you’ve upgraded, I haven’t been able to use the app at all. It keeps asking me to create an account and when I do it says there’s an error message. and when I’ve tried resetting my password it doesn’t send me anything.
Issue with resetting Password
Whenever I try resetting my password and submit a request, I don’t get the link to reset my password.
Awesome
Definitely recommend
can’t sign up or log in
i can’t access the app at all
Visual ques
I think this is a great app and can help a lot of people. My only recommendation is when participating in a breathing exercise in chill zone, a visual such as a pulse or contracting circle would help during those times I cannot find a private space or put my earbuds in. While being quite it would be nice to have visual ques.
Creating an account
It won’t let me create an account. I tried emailing the app makers but I haven’t got an email back. My doctor told me I need to use this for my anxiety so I’m kinda mad that it won’t let me use it
Good but some glitches
I see the potential in this app and started to use it for a couple days, but now I can’t save any custom coping cards and the ones I saved earlier are all gone! I really hope this glitch gets fixed.
Like this app
I went back to Mindshift after the app I was using started raising the prices. Oh the world is so driven by monetary. I like Mindshift although the text is tiny. Can it be made bigger?
It Just Doesn’t Work!
When I try to submit how I’m feeling, one of two things happen: (1) either the little wheel just spins and spins with a message that it is submitting the data; or (2) I get an error message stating that the data can’t be submitted. I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro Max with the current IOS.
Best anxiety tool
Love this app, it is my go-to. Only thing missing is a fuller picture of anxiety tracking history. It provides 2 weeks of trackings in a graph, but would love to see longterm trends over long periods (ie. months/years).
Useless crap
I found this app hard to navigate and generally not at all user friendly. I gave up on it. An app designed to help people should not frustrate them and make them walk away.
Great as a wellness tool, does not provide free therapy
The good: - easy to navigate - soothing colour palette - tools offered (journal, coping cards, habit tracking, meditations) are ones that are proven to work, when used regularly - challenges, experiments, mindfulness, etc. are all highly effective approaches and activities Improvements needed: - dark mode option, the glaring white is decidedly not soothing especially for folks with light sensitivity - offer a trial period before requiring users to create an account - make it VERY clear in marketing, promotional materials, and presentations that the app supports CBT therapy and techniques, but DOES NOT offer free CBT therapy - the community discussion board is a challenging place to spend time in, as it’s chock full of posts that detail the struggles people are currently facing, which lends it an incredibly negative vibe and creates a heavy experience
Beautiful app
I just downloaded this and immediately felt the need to give this review. First of all it’s completely free which you can never find apps like that anymore, and second it’s just wonderful. There are so many helpful tools including daily self checkins, guided meditation-like audios to calm yourself, a beautiful community you can join to talk to others about your experiences to get advice and support, strategies for every type of anxiety out there, an option to get professional help, healthy affirmations, goal setting, simple methods to improve your lifestyle overall, and so many more incredible features. This app is amazing and I’m so glad I found it. If you’re thinking of trying it I beg you please do!!!! You will NOT be disappointed!! ♥️
It’s okay
Really liked until I realized can only put in 3 entries a day.
Thank you
Really enjoying this app. It has everything I need to bring me to calm when I feel I can’t on my own. Some days it doesn’t respond as well, (example-trying to save how I feel sometimes doesn’t work, even with closing and opening app again or restarting phone.) so that has caused me to miss a day or two of logs. But the community portion as well as the quick relief steps and guide are just amazing. The fact it’s free and I’m poor really eases more anxt one would have paying for an app they’re unsure will even work. It’s a phone journal for me when my book isn’t in my grasp. Thanks to developer for caring!!! I will be donating once I am able to for sure, as I feel this app is truly important for those who struggle with little or no support. Cheers!
needs fixing
can't scroll down most pages, videos don't load. would be a great app if these are fixed
It’s ok…
I got this app cuz I have trouble sleeping and then my dad told me abt thi app so I got it there is no mindfulness sleeping activitys so that was a bit disappointed 😔 can the developers maybe try add that feature? Plz???🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Great app
C’est une très bonne idée d’application. Vous devriez toutefois, lors de l’étape d’ajout de symptômes l’option d’ajouter nous-même des catégories en plus. (Ex : eczema, yeux secs, etc…)
Forgot password
Forgot password is not emailing me the reset link
This app is great
This app got recommended to me when I became very anxious, and it works pretty well. Logging your mood in is easy and simple, and it teaches you about different types of anxiety and when it becomes a problem. The tools are great and effective, and it is overall easy to use. At first I had my doubts but the app is pretty good. Yeah it’s really hard to get started and that’s what originally made me have doubts but once I got over that and actually started using the app it was really great and effective.
Amazing app but
This app is amazing but now I can’t make a post or anything keeps coming up error hopefully this is fixed soon.
This is an awesome app!
So far this app has not given me any trouble or frustration! I feel that in this app there is something for everyone, as I have trouble sleeping, it has given me various tips and tricks! No complaints!
Doesn’t Work Anymore
I used to use this app pre-iOS 18, recently redownloaded it because some issues have resurfaced, but I can’t get past the sign in/up page. Even resetting my password doesn’t work.
I highly recommend this app!
I LOVE this app! It helps me so much! I love literally everything about it! The one thing I wish was different is that you could check in more than 3 times a day, but otherwise this is a terrific app!
Great app BUT…
I was using this to track myself and it was a great resource…..until a few days ago and now I can’t share progress, I can’t do checkins, etc…. Everything I do gives me an error message. Please fix the app. My rating would be 5 stars if it hadn’t been conking out on me
