## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ability to track hair-pulling episodes and help identify patterns, which has led to successful management in some cases. However, the app is criticized for its high subscription cost with no free access, making it inaccessible to many. Technical glitches, sign-in difficulties, and limited therapeutic guidance further frustrate users. Despite its good intentions, the app's paywall and usability problems hinder its overall effectiveness.

### Pros

- Helps with tracking and recording hair-pulling episodes and urges.
- Aids users in recognizing patterns and triggers related to trichotillomania.
- Some users reported successful overcoming of trichotillomania after sustained use.
- Provides a structured way to log locations and situations when pulling begins.

### Cons

- App requires a costly subscription ($65-$165 per week) with no free trial or useful free features, which discourages many users.
- The app is largely unusable without paying; users cannot access core features before subscribing.
- Technical issues including sign-in problems, glitches after updates, and functionality issues like tracking only working online.
- Lack of helpful therapeutic content or tips within the app; primarily focuses on tracking without guidance on controlling the behavior.
- User interface constraints such as limited customizable options for logging locations and difficulties with usability of sliders and lists.
