★★★★★
I'll give this a four, it's more of a book rather than an actual mood tracker. You can't really explain in detail what you're feeling yourself and what professional help you need to seek, although, the tips are quite useful considering I follow up with most the categories explained. My lowdown councillor had suggested this app therefore thought I'd check it out, not the best, but not the worst... definitely better apps out there.
★★★★★
Lifesaving, very highly recommend to anyone else that struggles.
★★★★★
Great apps! Information provided is very useful. Will help a lot of people.
★★★★★
Brilliant idea this will help lots of people
★★☆☆☆
Just a book on app. Not an actual distraction. All the book is first aid and go to the a&e.
★★☆☆☆
I looked through this app and the most helpful thing (for me at least) is how to clean/ dress the wounds.
★★☆☆☆
The NHS self check website suggested I installed it. I'm not suicidal and I would never self harm... There is no way to delete your account. I want to delete my data.
