## Review summary

EMDR is praised as a robust, multi-sensory EMDR tool with audio, visual, and tactile cues. It supports Bluetooth controllers and offers strong customization for self-guided therapy with good developer support. However, reviews repeatedly flag a pushy subscription model, limited speed options, occasional bugs, and platform constraints (notably Apple TV). Overall, it's powerful and versatile but business model and reliability issues are common friction points.

### Pros

- Robust, multi-sensory EMDR tool with audio, visual, and tactile cues.
- Supports Bluetooth controllers (e.g., Joy-Cons) for tapping, enabling hands-free therapy.
- Highly customizable experience for self-guided therapy, with strong developer support.
- Simple, effective interface and good value for full feature set.

### Cons

- Pushy monetization model with a free trial/subscription upsell and automatic start.
- Limited speed options (only three speeds) with no precise BPM control.
- Occasional bugs and reliability issues, such as sound not working or crashes.
- Platform and usage constraints, including an Apple TV app issue and limited background/offline use.
