This app helps me out so so so much thank you to whoever created this app

This app gives many options for ways to improve depression symptoms. One of the tools the app offers is the ability to schedule activities. You first start by logging how you feel before participating in an activity (e.g. meditation, socializing, chores, reading) and then recording how you feel after doing so. This is helpful as it reinforces positive feelings by being able to look back at how the activity made you feel better. For every activity that is done, positive reinforcement from completing a task aids in reducing depressive symptoms. Even just recording how you feel can help recognize patterns where depression may worsen. This app has a daily journal to reflect on how you feel throughout the week. Another thing MoodTools offers are videos, such as TED Talks that share stories of others and how they combat depressive symptoms. I think this is very affirming that depression is something many people struggle with and coping through depressive episodes is very doable.

Absolutely necessary especially if you’ve done work with therapy, particularly DBT.

This is a pretty basic app which hasn’t been updated in at least 3 years, and I’m amazed that they have the nerve to try to charge $199 for it now. I think I paid less than $5 for it years ago. When I opened the app a few minutes ago, it said that my Pro mode had expired, and thanked me for using the app. 🙄

I’m pleasantly surprised by how effective this app is at turning my negativity into something more productive and useful!

You need this if you have suicidal thoughts or depression it helps a lot

I’ve never given a review before, but I felt this app warranted one. I’ve only had it maybe two days now, but I think it’s been really helpful. My psychologist recommended it to me. So far I’ve been using the thought diary and I really like that the app really gets you to assess and analyze the thoughts you’re having. There are also some other great features like the videos and safety planning that I’m excited to utilize. I often have trouble being consistent with things, but I’m hoping to be consistent with this. I think it’ll really help long term. If you’re struggling with depression or anxiety and you’re looking for something to challenge your negative thoughts, I definitely recommend giving this a try. For reference, I’m a 20 year old African American female college student. Hope this helps :)

This app is amazing. Highly recommend!

I have only been using this app for 3 days and it is already changing my mood in a positive way! When I was texting a hotline they recommended this, I’m so glad they did!

This app has some helpful tools, but the way the AI works can be frustrating. For example, you can be in the middle of making a safety plan, but if you say the words, ‘panic attack’ when it asks about your triggers the AI switches to the script for dealing with panic attacks and you can’t go back to finishing the safety plan as far as I can tell. The app is a good idea that needs some finesse.
