Free · Offers In-App Purchases
Young adult feedback
Sattva provides a plethora of mindfulness, meditation and other exercises. It has a heavy focus on "community" engagement and overall is the most engaging meditation app. Although there is a focus on paid content, the free content is also of a high standard.
Expert feedback
Sattva is a mindfulness app which provides users with mindfulness-based activities such as meditations, chants, music and the ability to create their own library of meditations. It also incorporates social media elements and users can make "friends", join "lounges" and see a "live feed" of other users' activities. There are also gamified elements such as "trophies" which can be unlocked by users who have completed activities.

Moodtrack Diary
Free. Offers In-App Purchases.
Young adult feedback
The app follows a very basic design and while not entirely ugly, lacks visual appeal. The mood tracking features chart the data in a satisfactory way (line graph). The app also has a feature titled "Everyone" which is a feed of all users current moods. Generally I found this feature to be mostly positive and it was reassuring to see there was a fair assortment of positive and negative "moods". The app also allows the user to select a anonymous name to use on their account. Although the visual design is lacking, overall I would use this app on a casual basis.
Expert feedback
Moodtrack diary is organised as a forum which users can state their moods in a similar way to a Facebook "post" . Others with the app can see their updates and reply to them. This forum side of the app appears to be unmoderated. It is recommended that users be cautious of this as content could be triggering or not reportable.

eMoods Bipolar Mood Tracker
Free · Offers In-App Purchases
Young adult feedback
Very professional and usable - graphically and mechanics-wise. It is very specific to bipolar disorder. The questions asked seem to be taken from a standardised measure for bipolar, but provides good trackers. Would definitely recommend this app.
Expert feedback
eMoods has been designed for individuals with bipolar disorder to track their symptoms, medication and mood. It is a great tool for those with a diagnosis of bipolar.

Pacifica
Free · Offers In-App Purchases
Young adult feedback
Pacifica combines the best of mindfulness with emotional boosters and mood tracking. The initial screen is a visually appealing sunset at the beach with the waves slowly rolling in. The options to collect health, thoughts, moods and goals and allow tracking of these are excellent. The app then has a plethora of mindfulness exercises to boost the user's emotions. Furthermore, the community forums are created in a friendly way and all users seem to be supportive of each other.
Expert feedback
Pacifica is an app designed for daily use to help users reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety. The app can also be used with a therapist to help track behaviours and feelings while individuals are not in therapy sessions. The app provides users with a mood tracker, relaxation techniques, a community for peer support, customisable goals and progress reports.

All through primary school I was bullied
The kids were so mean. They called me 'gay' and other names like that. They told me to go die in a hole and that nobody would love me, that I would die alone. They told me I was worthless. I was diagnosed with depression and tried to self-harm.

She made me feel bad in every way possible. She even turned everyone against me - all the people I used to call my friends became my enemies! I hated my life and wanted to kill myself. It took some time, but I finally went to the school counsellor who told me about Kids Helpline.
