Comments on PTSD Coach for Android

★★★★★ Jahadu Rahman II · Sep 9, 2026

The VA and this app saved my life. I was struggling with veteran isolation and PTSD symptoms for a very long time and this app helped save my life. I would suggest any veteran to use this app. I am so happy for what my country has done for me. I love the United States Navy and I love the VA. Blessing to my brothers and sisters in arms.

★★★★★ Yavonn S (Yabbyscraps) · Sep 22, 2026

Helpful app in finding strategies that help or do not help in an environment that feels safe for you.

★★★★★ Will J · Apr 5, 2026

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

★☆☆☆☆ Austin Stoner · Apr 21, 2026

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.

★★☆☆☆ Xiaobadi · Aug 22, 2025

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

★★☆☆☆ Larry F · Jan 28, 2026

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.

★★☆☆☆ Nick Nick · Aug 2, 2026

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.
