Features & Capabilities

PE Coach is designed to be used during therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with a health professional who is trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. The app will guide you through the exercises assigned by your therapist and allows you to track and record your progress. In addition, the app provides techniques such as controlled breathing that will help you tolerate and decrease your distress. PE Coach will help you remember and track your upcoming therapy sessions. You will be able to audio record your sessions directly onto your phone so you can review them later as part of your treatment.

By itself this app is not sufficient to treat PTSD. However, those who are receiving PE treatment can work together with their therapist to use the tools in this app.

PE Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD.

User Reviews

The reviews show a tension between potential value and serious reliability problems. Users report data loss where recordings and future appointments disappear, an inability to play back or export sessions, and frequent glitches. While some praise the app for its structure and usefulness in the early sessions, the overall experience is marred by reliability issues and a steep learning curve, with little guidance on troubleshooting. The main recurring themes are data integrity and playback problems, undermining consistency as a therapy tool.
Pros
  • Some reviewers describe the app as excellent and nice to use.
  • Works well for the initial sessions / early in therapy.

Cons

  • Frequent glitches and reliability issues with little built-in troubleshooting.
  • Not intuitive and has a steep learning curve.
  • Limited flexibility to adapt PE protocols and session structure.

I deleted a previous session and it deleted all of my sessions. All my data and recordings, gone. Beyond frustrating.

This app is excellent, but not intuitive. Take time BEFORE the PE session and learn how to use it. It’s a complex app, not a tape recorder.
