CBT Thought Diary



Young adult feedback
CBT Thought Diary is a simple app allowing users to log daily moods, thoughts, and gratitude. The app uses CBT thought-challenging techniques with some psychoeducation. The design is dull, and the content is limited, but the app itself is easy to use and helpful as a daily tracking tool.
Expert feedback
CBT Thought Diary is a good, but very basic, mood tracker that allows users to track negative thoughts and gratitude with a few learning options.

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

Woebot



Young adult feedback
The concept of the app is good but being able to “talk” to a robot is no different than manually logging your moods.
Expert feedback
This app is easy to follow, engaging, and sensitive. It requires some reading skill level but is user friendly overall and a useful tool for tracking mood. Highly recommended.

Remente: Self Help & Health




Young adult feedback
I like the idea of this app and it offers numerous topics on how to improve your life, but there are some posts that seem irrelevant and more for entertaining users. Full access requires subscription which means some articles/posts are blocked.
Expert feedback
A wonderful wellbeing app rich in content, user friendly, and memorable! Designed by a team with diverse expertise, the app is engaging and really well thought out. Highly recommended!
