Skinpick - Dermatillomania App

A few years ago it was possible to utilize this very helpful app for free; upgrading to the personalized paid version was optional, and back then the free, self-guided version turned out to be sufficient for my needs. I eventually put it aside for a few years, but recently I decided to start using the app again. I re-downloaded the app, entered my email, was prompted to update my password (which I did), and signed in — only to find that the free version of the program no longer exists. The app is now entirely behind a paywall, accessible only to subscribers of the personalized program — which at this writing is $65 per week. Those of us who used to use the free, self-guided version of the app can no longer access it. I could understand if Skinpick started offering the option of a self-guided app for an annual subscription fee — for example, $65 per *year*— but what’s the sense of paying $65 per *week* to use an app that used to be gratis? Very disappointing, to say the least.

Therapy is very individualized and it’s hard to replicate that in an app form. Skinpick comes close with really pulling out every option to meet clients needs (biweekly/weekly video options, chat function, support groups, modules with different graphics/embedded videos etc). I found it to be too wordy and complicated for me and I would constantly forget to use tools and functions as time went on. I think the app needs to be cleaned up a little to separate and polish up the “noise”. I have other conditions (ADHD) that I found convoluted my app experience ultimately leading me to cancel my subscription and seek a face to face specialist in network with my insurance

Was really excited and looking forward to this personalized program, but not for $260 a month.

So I have a skin picking problem and I thought this might be helpful so I download the app an it cost 65 dollars a week and I just wanted a good tracking app for free and maybe if it was like 15 dollars a week then that would have been fine but 65 DOLLARS LIKE THAT'S WAYYYY TO MUCH I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP

I used to use this app to track my picking separately from the therapy programs offered, but I'm extremely frustrated to see that you now need to pay a $65 subscription to even use the app. I was subscribed to Skinpick's therapy program for a few months, but I was able to use the app before, during, and after the program. Disappointing, sad to see profit get in the way of accessiblity.

This app is free to download, but NOT free to use!! upon opening the app, you create an account, then are met with an unavoidable paywall. it's a waste of time and risk with your money, don't bother.

Look i know the people who created the app need to make money, but everything online kept referring to this as free. When i downloaded i even assumed there would be some premium features that weren’t like a normal person should but nope you cannot make it past the credit card screen even if you just want to see what the app is about. Yet again i get it money needs to be made but be upfront and honest. Even better help or the talkiatry all tell you up front on every platform you see them on that it’s going to cost money, and maybe it should have been common sense to assume that it would immediately cost money, but literally if you type skin picking app free stopskinpickingcoach.com refers to you as a free app as does aptoide.com, center for mindfulness website, apparently its also on tik tok with the hash tag free

It’s disappointing there is no option for a free version of this app.

What happened to the free version??? $65/week is our only option??

This app has been really good for me to try and get this in order. But as they’ve built out the paid program, the self monitoring has been relegated to the bottom of one of the tabs, with the majority of options requiring purchasing the very expensive program ($260 a month on top of regular insurance / therapy co-pays). I want to love this, and I’d even be willing to pay a reasonable fee for a program that doesn’t have an insurance reimbursement. But if you’re not able to offer that, please don’t ruin the app experience for those of us who need it.
