Mettle: Mental Fitness for Men

I really wish I could rate this higher. 5 stars is not enough. This has genuinely started to change my life. I’ve only been using it for 3 weeks. I missed a few days but was able to just pick up where I left off. I have ADHD, OCD and suffer chronic panic. This is genuinely helping me to manage all 3, where other support tools have failed. The breathing exercises really do work. The gentle tones of all the narrations are very calming and soothing to listen to. It’s easy to split into bite size chunks each day make it easy for anyone no matter how busy you are. I’d set several alarms each day to do some and I already don’t need the alarms as it’s on my mind at the same times each day already. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you for creating this!!!!

Amazing app, using it everyday. Made a massive impact on my moods and wellbeing.

A fantastic app for supporting and developing your mental health.

Some of the activities in the Mettle app are great, and there is a lot of very sound advice on offer here. I like the idea of breaking it down into two or three bite-size check ins or sessions throughout the day. However, one big gripe I have is with the breath work sessions. Whilst i have found breath work in general to be very helpful, the timings Mettle give you in these sessions are really short for every breath. I can’t believe I’m the only person with a larger lung capacity? but every time I try one of the breathwork follow along sessions they tell you to breathe in, hold and then breathe out before I even finished barely breathing in! I’m not sure if anybody has actually tried these sessions themselves in real time? Another very minor piece of feedback is about the inaccuracy of subtitles provided for some of the sessions. On some occasions I’ve decided to try a session in the office and I haven’t been able to do it with the sound on due to not having headphones to hand and not wanting those around me to know what I’m doing, so I’ve turned on subtitles. However a lot of the captions don’t make sense. I would assume they are A.I generated? For example on many occasions when I’ve opened the “Daily Mind Fuel” the subtitles say “welcome to your daily mindful”. There are plenty of other examples of bad subtitles in the app but this is just one that springs to mind. Hopefully the app will continue to improve with testing and more feedback as I think the core principal is great.

It's all just empty platitudes, the current approach lacks concrete solutions and practical benefits.

Cheats you into asking for your email then instantly asks for your bank details. Avoid, how dare you abuse men’s wellbeing like this.

Felt excited when I downloaded it. First couple audio guides were great. Then it started being repetitive and annoying. Lots of different "coaches" keep saying exactly same thing over and over. Honestly don't care about paying for it. But wouldn't even use it if it was free. Hope it changes for better, but repetitiveness and lack of engaging content made me delete my account and uninstall the app. Sad. Hoped it would be much better

I tried the 1 week free trial and would have liked to continue the subscription, however, there seems to be a technical issue whereby a large proportion of the content simply wouldn’t play. I would try and play an audio and nothing would happen. I tried over several days to see if this was a bug but the problem persisted. I messaged the developer but didn’t receive a response so cancelled the subscription. This is disappointing as I’m sure I would have got good value from the app. If this issue can be fixed I would certainly give it another go.

App won’t even let you past opening survey, waste of time

This is a great app, but unfortunately the latest update has left the home screen too small. Particularly on smaller screen smart phones. I can no longer read what is on the three suggested exercises for that day. Many thanks
