Best free DBT app I've tried so far. I wish it was more interactive. But it also has a lot of different exercises, none of which you have to pay to unlock. And it had a bunch of helpful guided meditations. It also suggests different exercises for emotional crisis, based on your mood. Not only is this app helpful, but the best part is that all the features are free.

This is still one of the better DBT apps out there, even though this app has changed a bit since I last reviewed it. Contrary to what I initially thought, it still allows you to add extra diary fields, but you have to go into settings and scroll all the way down to where there is a little option that says "Extra Diary Field." I wish that weren't the case, because it's not as intuitive as it initially was when I first reviewed the app. That said, I'm glad there's still the ability to add extra fields as needed, as it allows you to tailor urges and target behaviors to your needs, which makes the diary card much more useful. I still wish I could completely customize the diary card so it looks exactly like the one I used in my program, but I'm just happy that you can add your own custom fields, at this point. As for the rest of the app, it is a good mobile reference guide for reviewing the skills you've learned in DBT. I do wish it endeavors to keep up to date with the latest DBT trends and information, though. (PLEASE Master is now ABC PLEASE, for example.)At the very least, the ability to add notes so you can note what's changed since the app was written, as well as the ability to add your own exercises that will help you practice these skills, would be super helpful. As I said, though, this is still one of the better apps out there. The information isn't hidden behind a paywall, and you can relatively customize your diary card. Of all the DBT apps I've tried so far on Google Play, this is, so far, my favorite.

Seems to have a lot of information which is good but also part of my problem with the app: there is too much content for how little organization there is. It's really overwhelming clicking on a topic and then seeing a list of like 100 audios or texts. Not easy to find what you're looking for or even know what you're looking for
