Very helpful - lots of bugs – anxietyhelper Review

Hi there, I am a mental health professional and I sought out this app to see if it could be a good resource for clients. I can really see a lot of potential in this app. I love the way it gives hands on tools right now if someone needs help with a panic attack or other forms of severe anxiety. I also love that this app gives people the opportunity to research things about mental health on their own. One of my complaints is about how well the app is updated. When I began to look through the educational information the app took me to several webpages that said “page not found”. I wonder if it would be simpler to write the information in the app and cite the website you got it from instead of having to update this often. Another issue I saw is that the app crashes at random moments. I was playing the bubble burst game and the app crashed after. I also answered a text message and the app crashed. Additionally, I wish there was an option to go back during the guided resources. It seemed like once you chose to engage in whatever exercise you could only end it by closing the app. I imagine it would be more helpful to give an exit option just in case that particular thing was not helpful. Otherwise you simply have to wait it out for the app to move on to something else. Finally I wish there were more resources for depression. The ones I saw were focused on anger or expressing emotion and I wish there were more resources for those feeling drained and hopeless. If I were using this app as a resource for my mental health I imagine the things above would be frustrating and not as supportive as it could be. Overall I LOVE the concept of this app and believe it could be incredibly helpful with a few small updates. I would still recommend it to clients even with the current issues. Thank you for developing this app.
