STAIR Coach

The StairCoach app is both lighthearted and serious about emotions. Some of the information is helpful reminders during times of distress, while other info is completely novel and interesting just to learn when not distressed. The little badges and fun pop ups after reading material keep me wanting to learn and use the techniques. I’ve had this app on my phone for a long time and just kept forgetting about it, I’m happy I finally began using it after putting it on my home page!

The primary reason I got this app was to do the mood journaling. Every time you make a new entry it deletes the previous ones. It makes me feel like I wasted my time even trying to work on this whole endeavor. The only things this app has that seems to actually work is the reading material, which you get from your shrink anyway, and breathing exercises that isn’t even half as good as the mindfulness app on the Apple Watch.
