## Description

AIMS is designed for Veterans and military Service members but can be used by anyone coping with anger problems. The AIMS app is based on the Anger and Irritability Management Skills online self-help course (http://www.veterantraining.va.gov/aims/). The app provides you with education about anger, opportunities for finding support, the ability to create an anger management plan, anger tracking, and tools to help manage angry reactions. You can also create custom tools based on your preferences, and can integrate your own contacts, photos, and music. The AIMS app may be used alone, or in combination with the online course or in-person therapy

AIMS was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD and VA’s Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.

## Review summary

The app shows potential for anger management with practical tools and effective meditations, and several users report real benefits. However, reliability issues are widespread, including crashes, glitches, and truncated content. Data persistence in iCloud and device compatibility problems (especially on iPad/older iOS) further hinder use, as does a PC-only online course requirement. Overall, it can be beneficial when it runs smoothly, but significant usability and stability problems are common.

### Pros

- Helps users cope with anger and can improve relationships.
- Provides practical anger-management tools and resources (triggers, logs, thermometer).
- Meditations are effective and highly valued by users.
- Appears beneficial for specific groups (veterans/ASD) due to targeted tools and a research-informed approach.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and glitches across features, including during meditation and launch.
- Content is incomplete or truncated, with sentences cut off and unreadable.
- Undeletable data in iCloud; privacy concerns due to persistent app/data that cannot be deleted.
- Poor mobile/OS compatibility; struggles on iPad/older iOS and other devices.
- PC-based online course requirement; not usable on mobile, adding accessibility barriers.
