I love all the features, they're very helpful for me. I don't think I have PTSD but my therapist recommended the app to me for some of the symptoms I have. The recent update was a huge overhaul, and I'm happy to see journaling has been added including audio journaling especially. However, when I tried to use it, it won't let me save the recording if it's more than like 2 minutes long and will keep the timer going even after I hit save until I exit.

After going through the STAIR sessions I have found this to be a good resource for following the steps I learned.

I love that this app doesn't have pop-ups and ads. It helps to keep one focused on using coping strategies without unnecessary distraction.

This is the Closest help I have ever got being on Total Disability. There has never been any help for me

I was labelled by PTSD Coach as not having PTSD at all or at least not serious enough as my symptoms were not dramatic enough. Infact I suggested life long from c (chronic) PTSD due to emotional neglect in my childhood and teenage years and became kind of a people pleaser. PTSD Coach seems to focus more on very dramatic presentations rather than on inner reality. I found it not helpful for me.

What the Hell was that im so sorry but I was trying to get help not cause distress firstly the things wouldn't even install. The journal wasn't even wtiteable like be real now. I just want smthn that is good to and not saying go seek help every 2 minutes like give me peace dude. Im sorry I did just have an outburst but I am telling the truth.i personaly don't rehomed getting this for myself.

They have a lot of activities but some of them move too fast, or the speaker sounds angry and aggressive, as opposed to calm. I noticed my anxiety increased after some of the activities. In contrast, I also have a lifetime membership to the Calm app and Headspace, and I find those mindfulness and meditation apps to be more beneficial than this one. I was recently diagnosed with PTSD and had high hopes for this app, but maybe it's geared more towards veterans who are used to taking orders

Changed from 5* to 2*. The new app may look shiny from a developer's view but is much less useful for me. When I need support I don't need to go through screen after screen of options. I need to access the tools I need. The old app was easy to navigate. My anxiety actually increases trying to navigate to new app. I will use this until I find a better option. It feels like the redesign was done without users input. Very disappointed.
