Review summary

Users appreciate Calm Urge for its effective self-harm tracking, calming activities, and journal features that motivate recovery and support privacy. However, multiple reviews mention frustrations with premium features blocking important functions, intrusive advertising, and usability problems in the journaling feature, such as text deletion and editing difficulties. Users also desire more customization in mood tracking. Despite these drawbacks, the app's helpfulness in managing urges and improving self-awareness is consistently praised.

Pros

Effective tracking of self-harm urges and progress with detailed timing and streaks
Includes calming activities and distractions like games and sensory options to help manage anxiety and urges
Provides a journal feature for venting and reflecting thoughts and feelings
Supports privacy with password protection, helpful for users with privacy concerns
Helpful for users in understanding themselves better and motivating recovery

Cons

Many useful features such as analytics and community access are locked behind a premium paywall, limiting accessibility
Ads, especially full-screen ads, are present and can be intrusive during moments of crisis
Daily journal has usability issues including text deletion when interacting outside keyboard, auto-correct problems, and difficulty editing entries
Limited customization in mood tracking—some users want more emotion options or ability to add custom feelings
Some technical issues like slowness, app crashing, and inability to disable vibration

2026-07-24	So*****	This app is very good for me, it is hard to stop the $elf h@rm but the app really does really help. The activates to stop urges is really awesome my favorite ones are the nature puzzles and rain with thunder one, it is kinda annoying when my tablet keeps turning off when I'm listening to the rain and thunder and the my tablet just turns off.
