Icouch Cbt App Reviews

No features no info total scam.

It has crashed on me two out of two times I've tried to use it. No more.

Finally updated! Glad to see it because this app has been my daily friend for the past several years. Works awesome on my iPhone 6 and iPad.

In all my years of owning a Mac, an iPhone, and an iPad, I have never once written a negative review of an app for the app store—but I really thought this app—and its customer service, which was the secondary heart of the problem—was bad enough that people had the right to know. When the app upgraded, the erased ALL my examples in my Log. Anyone who practices CBT or has utilized the app—which is, in fact, quite well laid-out and a good CVT app—knows that this represents hours of work, and is practically irreplaceable. It is particularly bad news in a mental heal app. I was shocked—and wrote to the app developers (a very tricky thing; they—tellingly—have no way of reaching them, no ‘contact,’ no ‘help,’ no ‘support’) IN the app itself; I had to do some serious digging—that I was beside myself. The next day I received a 1-line response that they were looking into it. I wrote two days later that I had a therapy session upcoming, and needed my data. No response. I wrote two days AFTER that to say I had my CBT session upcoming and REALLY REALLY needed my data. Nothing. I still did not plan to write a negative review, but did write yesterday that I was: 1) devastated about losing my data; 2) profoundly disappointed in their customer service that couldn’t even bother to respond to my repeated requests for help, or to update me on the situation; and, 3) (the final straw)—At least, given what a mess they had created for me, an APOLOGY would have been most expected—and really have gone far. So, in sum, this is a good app as long as they don’t decide to upgrade ever—if so, plan on starting new—as long as you need no support or help, and as long as you expect nothing at all in terms of help, assistance, or even an apology when something goes dreadfully wrong.

Very easy. Nicely made. I've never visited a therapist before, so the only thing I know about CBT I've read, but even without first hand experience with CBT, I feel like this app is exceptionally useful. The help pretty much guides you through the whole thing.

I only give 4 stars because I think the in app purchase is unnecessary and generally a crappy money grab. I have not used it and can't speak to whether it is still supported. Otherwise this app is a great way to help guide your own thinking and implement cbt. It's password protected as it should be and offers a good journaling model.

This is the ideal category for an app that should be extremely simple to use. However, this app manages to be basic to the point of becoming hard to use. Navigating from screen to screen requires tapping the screen to gain access to the footer bar, there's no prompt to save changes if you can't find the save button after the "next" arrow randomly disappears, and you can't add extra emotions after am selecting once. There's a lot more right than there is wrong with this app - but for $3 I expect a whole lot more

I have been dealing with anxiety and depression since my teens...also became agoraphobic at one point! Iv'e learned that CBT is the best thing ever and keeping jesus in my life too! This app hits the spot because i use to feel weird carrying a note pad and pen to track everything that pops up. Great privacy lock and you got yourself a lil log to refer back to. Also you can make up your own emotions and store them. 1 Very important warning!!!! Do not let this app become a safety crutch or the actual cell phone you use!!! You dont wanna reach into your pocket when you encountered a sticky situation to journal and then PANIC cause you left your phone at home...make sure you use your actual thinking and not the phone! Its you that conquers and not the app on your cell. ENJOY!!!!

I have been using this tool for 1-2 years and have found it very helpful... before I upgraded. I would have given it 4 stars, but when I upgraded it IT LOST ALL OF MY LOGS, since the beginning. This is extremely alarming - many pieces of my personal history have just vanished, because I entrusted this app instead of a diary. I am beyond disappointed.

This app is pretty cool. I've used the old fashioned notebook method of keeping track of situations for years, but this app made it pretty easy for a guy like me to toss my notebook I used to carry everywhere and start using my phone. I originally downloaded this app because I liked the design. Compared to some of the other CBT apps on the store, this one looks pretty awesome. I think more important than design though is the content itself. I've been doing my own version of CBT with my notebook, but I never really did it in any methodical way. The "?" option on each screen gave surprisingly helpful information for each part of the process. The help screens themselves are worth the low price of this app -- they were like a mini-book on CBT, but rather than theory, they actually explained how to do each step in context. The little examples in the help screens were a nice touch. I like the lighthearted, encouraging feel of the help screens and that mid-century retro feel of the app. The whole app design reminds me of some of the old Saul Bass design work, especially the title sequence from movie The Man with the Golden Arm. On a whim, I also tried doing the in-app evaluation option. I submitted my situation in the app to iCouch and they sent me a reply by the end of the day. I was expecting some kind of automated, robot response, but it actually was personalized. For example, I mentioned a situation with my business and they responded with a great answer that was specific to what happened to me. It was a pretty long response too. More than I expected for the price. Pretty cool stuff -- like a near-instant psychologist without all of appointments and waiting time. It's not going to be a substitute for a "real" psychology session, but it's certainly useful as a tool to get feedback on specific things. In all, definitely a five star app. Far more than I expected and definitely better looking than some of the other ones I looked at on the App Store.

This is a handy tool that I am glad I purchased. I have alot of alone time and it structures my thoughts and gives me something to "talk" to. After I am all done with a "session" and I reread what I wrote, I wish I could edit it sometimes, but you can't edit after it is completed. But that's not a BIG deal. Like I said, it is a helpful tool that serves the "patient" well. It's for anyone who likes to be thoughtful and guided at times with one's thoughts.

This app straightens your thinking. Your underlying subconscious mind easily comes into picture the questions asked though same for all what happened is awesome. The questions are so designed that your wiring gets straightened up and you finally land up getting the answer within you. In all other hypnosis programs other people tell you what to do. Honestly I don't find that as much working as this is where you can tell yourself on a situation by situation basis. Anyone who uses this app can say is "only for me".

i purchased this app and then, as i was having a real meltdown regarding an issue, i purchased the extra service so that i could get a detailed CBT response from a health professional sent to me. i was charged for this special service but never received any such CBT assessment. ever. after contacting the app, they were completed non-plussed and non-helpful in all of their responses. lastly, even when i tried to use the app itself, the interface did not work properly. this entire app and the app staff is a disaster. stay away.

This WAS a well-supported app. But now the company seems to have gone down the drain. Their website for app support no longer exists. I paid $16 in the app for two answers that I NEVER GOT. Buy it for the usefulness, DO NOT use the in-app feature to request feedback. Waste of money.

This app is really helping me keep up with my cbt therapy. I'm a tech person and just couldn't see carrying around a piece of paper! Must have if you are doing CBT

This is a great app! It's an excellent resource for people who are exploring CBT. That being said, considering some, or most (if not all) of the people using this app are using it to help with their emotions, having the app crash in the middle of putting in an event can be incredibly frustrating and discouraging. My next event to add is about how I feel about this app crashing on me. lol Otherwise, it's a great app, and I would recommend it. Worth the $1.99 (even more so if this crash issue gets resolved!)

If I could post a screenshot I would. The app has a great interface and is exactly what I need for doing CBT. The problem is that when I begin using 8.1 and the new keyboard, the interface breaks. I can swipe right but I can’t hit any done buttons and the screen is oddly divided and duplicated on top and bottom where the keyboard is when you type. This needs to be fixed.

Updates have been slow. App does not save data.

I have had the hardest year of my life. In August I almost ended my life. If it wasn't for an exceptional ER team and a loving husband I would have. Scarier still is that I never wanted to die. I never wanted to end my own life. I became consumed with a rage....a rage that could have impacted so many people I love.... Afterwards I entered therapy. My counselor suggested this app to help me battle the cognitive distortions that were taking over my thinking and my life. With her help I learned how to use this tool and it has made such an amazing impact on my life in only a few months. I strongly recommend it for everyone who isn't 100% happy. It will help you see what is really important. It may save your life, your relationship, your sense of sanity.... Like it did mine.

It's simple and I love it. The clean design makes it really easy to focus on keeping track of how I've been feeling. I don't have a therapist but this app makes it feel like I do. A cheap investment that helps keep perspective! I really like being able to use Touch ID instead of having to always type a password

App muy enriquecedora para la vida! Vale la pena estar siempre en contacto con ella.

When I get to fourth or fifth tabs and click help it deletes my text from "what happened?" . Please. Fix

Exactly what i was looking for!

I Wanted a cbt app after reading a study that this type of therapy worked well. I hate to pay for apps, but I couldn't find a free one of this type. I pay $15 copay to see a real therapist, so what's $2 for a quick reality check when I need it? I chose this over mood kit because of the price and their reviews seem equal. I wouldnt even mind getting moodkit if I thought it was worth $5 and better than this. Icouch has already paid for itself in my eyes. (I've only logged 6 situations so far). It's not flashy, nor is it very beautiful. It's simple and has nice features (the few there are). But it's good!!

This is the best Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Apps I've tried (and I've tried them all.) It's is very easy to use and is something I'll be having my clients download to use for their therapy. I think the best part for me is that I'm able to add new emotions or distortions. So, with a client, sometimes they'll have specific distortions that aren't necessarily matching any of the "textbook" distortions -- with this app, it's easy to help my clients customize their emotions or distortions based on their situation. I haven't tried the in-app purchase evaluation (I'm a psychologist, so I don't particularly need that feature,) but for people who don't have access to or can't afford a therapist, the in-app evaluation option is nice to have. This is a great app. It works much more logically than the "iCBT" app, not to mention that the $1.99 price is great! I'm looking forward to using it more with my clients.

I am the queen of negative thoughts! I have a hard time un-distorting my own thoughts in my head. This app allows you to be active and visually see the process of un-distorting your negative thoughts in an organized way. I like that they allow me to label my negative thoughts. I always forget the different distortions and being able to label it with the definitions handy is extremely helpful! You won’t regret getting this app!
