Features & Capabilities

The Self Compassion App offers over 70 scientifically-validated mindfulness, meditation, sleep stories, and fitness routines to help you feel happier, calmer, and more connected. Developed with Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) principles by renowned therapists Drs Chris Irons and Elaine Beaumont, the app provides tools to reduce stress, anxiety, and self-criticism while enhancing wellbeing and confidence.

Whether you're struggling with self-judgment or seeking to cultivate kindness towards yourself, this app guides you through breathing exercises, mindful meditations, HIIT and yoga videos, journaling prompts, and metrics to track your progress. Designed to be more accessible than therapy and more impactful than a book, The Self Compassion App empowers you to manage life's challenges with self-compassion and develop healthier relationships and outlooks.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's accessible and effective compassion focused therapy content, daily practices, and supportive journaling features. It helps build positive habits and self-compassion with bite-sized insightful sessions. However, instability issues like glitches and crashes, a high upfront cost without monthly subscription, no desktop version, data loss when changing devices, and a confusing course structure were noted. Overall, it is praised for its helpfulness and quality content but could improve technical stability and usability features.

Pros

Provides effective and accessible compassion focused therapy (CFT) content and practices.
Helps users develop positive habits and increase self-compassion through daily lessons, check-ins, and journaling.
The app is easy to use with bite-sized sessions suitable for daily use without feeling overwhelming.
Includes variety of tools such as meditation, breathing exercises, gratitude prompts, and motivational content.
Highly recommended by users for personal growth and therapy support, with good scientific credibility.

Cons

App can be glitchy or unstable at times, including not registering completed lessons and occasional crashes.
No option for monthly subscription; upfront cost is considered high by some users.
Lack of a desktop or web version makes journaling and navigation inconvenient on mobile devices.
Changing devices causes users to lose progress and unlocked content, hindering usability.
The course structure lacks a clear linear path, which can be confusing for new users seeking step-by-step guidance.

Recent reviews

I've now deleted this app. It costs a huge amount upfront for what you get with no option for a monthly subscription to cover development costs. Speaking of development, I did not notice any improvements over the 12 months. If anything the app became less reliable and crashed a few times. Absolute waste of money.

Content is great. Recommend for compassionate guidance. Unlocking app (after paying) has been a bit tricky, and changing devices means losing progress.
