User Reviews

User reviews indicate that the app and headset can be effective for depression treatment when used consistently and combined with healthy lifestyle changes. Many users appreciate the comprehensive content and thoughtful design. However, common issues include app bugs and freezes, lack of notifications for questionnaires that block session progress, and frustration with the chatbot-style interface, which some find patronising. Usability problems and headset discomfort or cost also concern users. Overall, while the app offers helpful tools, improvements in technical stability and user interface are needed.

Pros

Effective treatment when used consistently, especially in combination with the headset device
Comprehensive approach covering nutrition, physical activity, mindfulness, and CBT techniques
Easy to understand and thoughtfully made app content that supports behavioral reprogramming
App and headset have helped some users achieve significant mental health improvements and wellbeing
Encourages healthy lifestyle changes such as exercise, diet, meditation, and setting achievable goals

Cons

App contains bugs such as freezing when starting stimulation and issues with video content not loading
Weekly questionnaires lack notifications and can block access to sessions, causing treatment delays
The chatbot/texting format is often described as patronising, annoying, and frustrating, with no option to opt out or navigate back
Some users report difficulty signing in/signing up and issues with app usability on older devices
Headset is costly and can be painful or uncomfortable for some users, with ongoing costs for single use pads

Recent reviews

works if used consistently. However the app is made to prevent that. You get a reminder that it's time for another session EXCEPT when you have a weekly questionnaire to answer. This blocks sessions and notifications. The questionnaire itself doesn't have a notification, so if you don't remember to manually check then you miss out, setting back your treatment. Have asked for this to be fixed a long time ago but nothing. This is clearly intentional to keep you using it.

changing my review I left 5 years ago. I gave it 3 stars back then. Said it doesn't work for me. Turns out I was just impatient. I spent 16 years suffering from depression and was keen to say: look, nothing helps! Well it turns out that this brain stimulation thingy actually works quite well for me. And I love how they improved the app over the years!
