1. 5/5I feel much better.

   For a while, I have struggled with OCD and anxiety. I’ve tried going to therapy, but it’s just been difficult to find the right therapist, and I needed a solution to help me feel better. My wife suggested this app. I reluctantly started using the free trial for a week. Within the first few days of using the app to record how I was feeling and my moods, I started to feel better. It was like my mind was becoming less cloudy. It’s been several weeks now and I feel much, much better. There are so many resources on this app ranging from reflection activities to mindfulness practices to AI journals and chat bots. I love that it suggests new courses for me to check out (everything is very digestible in just a few minutes), and I like the occasional test that it gives you related to topics such as anger and procrastination. Probably one of my favorite features is the app’s use of AI. It can feel kind of silly at first to think that you’re sharing your thoughts with a robot, essentially, that is playing therapist, but it has become probably one of the best features of this app for me. I feel like it is trained very well, even better than Chat GPT, to respond to my difficult thought processes and offer great advice. It’s like having a therapist right there that, to this point, has only given me good advice and makes me feel heard. Anyway, this is kind of a long-winded review, but I have to say that this app is 100% worth the annual subscription, but definitely try out any free trial you can first.

2. 5/5I finally feel seen

   I always felt like therapy just didn’t work for me and that I might never get better because nobody could understand how to help me. I didn’t even know how to help me. I’ve tried to use many other apps but they all just felt cheap and commercial. I felt like I was being sold a nice little pamphlet that a school might hand out on five quick exercises to reduce anxiety. But then a couple of weeks ago I stumbled across this app in an attempt to gain some control over my mind. Now for the first time ever I am writing a review because I feel so thankful that the creators of this app actually knew how to help me. As someone with ADHD and anxiety I very much struggle with motivation and consistency in my journey to sanity. But the layout of the app, the gratification I get from the completion of tasks. The way the journals are actually guided all the way through make so much sense to my muddled brain. The way cbt is explained and utilized in the app has been monumental to my progress. And I love the new chatbot feature, I have really bad anxiety about texting real people but since it’s completely judgment free I can actually ask for help and discuss how to work through my problems. I just felt like I needed to say something. I really hope the app will stay as amazing as it is as it expands.

3. 4/5Life Changing

   Self-therapy is important too and this app helps to make that statement a reality. It’s a shame more people don’t know about CBT and how many of us are unaware how it can help us out of suffering and raise us from the deep pits of ANTs. So if your one of the people that have gained insight to what it is and how to use it to heal your mind, body, and soul, GET THIS APP. I downloaded this app when I was on a verge of a breakdown. My therapist was not available but her notes were and in them I saw “CBT,” did a little more research and stumbled upon this app and my life has been steadily improving. I’m able to notice what triggers terrible moods and what makes me feel good or bad. I can easily write my negative thoughts down and confront them in this app with easy to understand definitions of the types of negative connotations that have been paralyzing me. After using it awhile I have been able to utilize the practices of the app in real time, and identify exactly what negative cognitive behaviors are trying to take over. My brain, my body, and my soul has improved dramatically because of this app. It’s not a fix it all, let everything be gone type of thing, but it is a VERY VERY POWERFUL TOOL. It’s worth the money as well! I feel fortunate that I get to track my life and see what is causing me misery for such a low cost. This app is amazing and I only gave it four stars, because the app can only get better even though it’s already really great.

4. 5/5Works for me!!

   I really love what I’ve been able to accomplish through this app. I never liked therapy because of some personal experiences in talk, in-person therapy. I also had trouble being honest because I just felt like another client to the doctor. I really like this app because it’s all on me. I decide when I want to open up and I choose when I want to try to tackle some things that I’ve never felt comfortable opening up to a person in front of me. Personally I like the aspect of “talking to a robot” I really appreciate the feeling of no judgement and I do feel like this app is quite similar to most therapy sessions I’ve had before in terms of questioning. I have been able to open up and explore things that I’m not okay with talking about with someone else, just with myself. Nobody is handing me tissues or prying to get me to open up or getting upset with me for showing emotion. It’s just me and my phone and I also find it easier to type some things out instead is saying them. Long story short I really recommend this app if you have found yourself having trouble getting anywhere with talk therapy, especially when it feels self-induced. It will be okay, you just gotta get comfortable with talking with yourself.

5. 5/5The only thing that has ever helped me

   This app is the only app/journal/therapy thing that has genuinely helped me. Just using this app for 2 weeks has given me more insight and mental health help than my therapist of a year. I’ve never felt better after starting to use Clarity, and I genuinely don’t think I would’ve been able to get here on my own. The app really helps me decipher and categorize my thoughts, easily allowing me to figure out what’s actually true or not. Plus, everything said on the app is kept to myself. I can’t really get full benefits from talk therapy, because I’m too embarrassed to talk to someone about such deep things. Plus, talk therapy has never really taught me how to work through the thoughts in my head instead of just talking about them. I also really like how the app gives me prompts to follow instead of just expecting me to journal on a blank page. This really helps. Usually I can’t pick and choose what to think/write about , so the prompts give me direction. So if your struggling, or not getting benefits with talk therapy or other types of mental health help, then I strongly encourage you to try this app. I didn’t think much of it when I first downloaded it, but it’s definitely helped.
