#SelfLove & Motivation Journey
Young adult feedback
The app provides short activities to help reduce negative thoughts and promotes positive self-talk. It is really basic and not very entertaining but may be useful for a few minutes a day to encourage positive thinking.
Expert feedback
This app focuses on challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and providing users with positive thoughts through reframing statements. The app aims to help users better manage a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns and is simple to use. Content is limited and there is not psychoeducation provided around the purpose of thought challenge, but worth trying as users may find statements helpful.

GG OCD - Anxiety & Depression
Young adult feedback
This app has some confusing elements, but really good concepts overall and I would recommend it to others.
Expert feedback
A user friendly app that focuses on challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and providing users with positive thoughts to help better manage a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. The design makes the app easy to use, but the information can become repetitive and tedious. There seems to be little education to highlight the reasons why a user’s belief might be unhelpful, and there appears to be cultural considerations given to suggestions. Overall, the app is worth exploring but may not be suited to users who are disengaged within 10 minutes.

Pocketcoach - Anxiety Helper
Young adult feedback
Really great app. Can change courses to what you would like to work on. Really enjoy the 'instant help' component. Good breathing exercises and videos.
Expert feedback
Pocketcoach is an excellent app containing a wealth of resources to help with various mental health issues, including anxiety. Friendly design, very accessible and non-stigmatising language and lovely structure of the exercises. Lots of free content, but access to further paid content is also available at a reasonable price.

AbleTo
Young adult feedback
Good app that allows you to choose from 3 customisations in which you can then enter answers based on your own experiences. Information in activities is very informative. App is very easy to use and ability to have 'coach' for support and to schedule calls/texts would help with achieving goals.
Expert feedback

CBT Companion
Young adult feedback
This app has a good mood tracker that allows you to track multiple emotions with percentages, has good range of exercises along with lessons and videos although these are sometimes hard to follow. There were a few errors with the app including the 'tour' option not working.
Expert feedback
CBT Companion is truly an impressive, well-designed app! Not only does it incorporate a vast amount of information (via text and videos) about mental health, it also offers a variety of meditation tracks, a diary function, assessments, a community discussion board, quizzes and more. A 5-star app if not for some issues with functionality.

Bloom: CBT Therapy & Self-Care
Young adult feedback
This app is visually appealing and offers a huge range of resources, programs, and exercises to target your mood. Users are able to customise the app based on their emotions. Would definitely recommend to other!
Expert feedback
Bloom is a well-designed, easy to use app, that provides users with CBT-based exercises to help target a diverse range of mental health presentations. A paid App, but $10/month does not seem unreasonable for the amount of content that is offered.

DBT Coach: (Dialectical Behavior Therapy app)
Young adult feedback
DBT Coach offers a good variety of resources for users to engage with dialectical behaviour therapy. There are a range of ways for the user to interact with the app, including lessons, tracking, mediations and more. Most of the resources are only available upon subscription but this is a high-quality app that is worth the money if you would like some extra DBT.
Expert feedback
DBT Coach is rich in content and provides high quality information, training, tracking and mindfulness sessions. Some app navigation is required to take full advantage of the features, and peer chat can be a little slow- but this may change with future developments. The app also provides the option of being able to connect with your regular face to face therapist for real time support.
