Description

Improve mental health, resilience and social-emotional skills.

SuperBetter is at heart a simple and transformative idea – we can use the same strengths naturally displayed in game play to confront real-life challenges, build skills, manage stress & practice self-care.

SuperBetter uses the psychology of game play in all of life. Playing SuperBetter means bringing a gameful mindset to real-life - challenging yourself, going for epic wins, adopting a secret identity, completing quests, battling bad guys, activating power-ups and checking-in with allies. The 7 rules for living gamefully is a framework to be stronger, happier, braver & more resilient in everyday life.

Invented by researcher & game designer Jane McGonigal, SuperBetter is backed by science. In a randomized controlled trial at University of Pennsylvania playing SuperBetter for 30 days was associated with significant improvements in mental health and resilience.

The SuperBetter app makes it simple to go for epic wins, track your gameful strengths and build your whole-person resilience - mental, social, emotional & physical. Proven results in 10 minutes a day.

SuperBetter is for youth, teens, young adults & everyone who wants to unlock their heroic potential using the power of living gamefully. Over 1 million people have played SuperBetter.

Great game for mental health!

TanMan1279 on

Super Better is a great way for me to add some fun and creativity to my mental health challenges, and I can even make my bad guys and power-ups to tailor the app to my needs! Super Better also has me check in daily with my family and friends so it not only helps keep me healthy but my relationships as well. Overall a great way to work on my mental health!

A LIFESAVER. To the developer, please invest in keeping it functional

SuperBetterSaves on

SuperBetter catapulted me out of a deep depression. I tried the app a year ago but it didn’t take. This new version managed to push me out of my funk. Thank you so much, Jane McGonigal, for this app and the insights from your own experience with depression that birthed it. Every day, I look forward to going on quests and battling my demons. Unfortunately, five days in with this new version, I am missing some of my current notes (I know I couldn’t keep notes from the old version). I find these notes to be vital benchmarks on how I’m doing as well as a virtuous feedback habit loop. I have had to write my notes in an actual notebook in case more of them go missing. SuperBetter is an important LIFELINE for me. I hope SuperBetter LLC continues to invest in keeping this app functioning smoothly. SUPERBETTER SAVES LIVES.

A lot of bugs, inflexibility, and no free trial

sarlachan on

I am one of the OG users of SuperBetter and was really excited when I heard it was getting an update. I do like the new UI, much more aligned with current design trends but that’s about all I like. First, I don’t like that I couldn’t have some type of free trial to test some of the features. At the very least make a free trial if people want to play solo just to check it out. I feel like this is an easy thing to add. Second, there are a lot of bugs! Notes wouldn’t save, entire plans would go missing, I couldn’t add Power-Ups, Quests, Bad Guys, etc. Way too buggy to use regularly. Third, the information and standard power-ups etc. make the app really inflexible. It feels like while you advertise the app to be a flexible way to conquer your goals, you really want the user to stay within the pre-designed goals. It really needs more flexibility and ease of use with that flexibility. I want to be able to decide what my own powers and quests are and use the pre-designed ones as inspiration or fillers. This is especially important if you want to market this to groups that want to create their own items specific to their group. This app has SO MUCH potential but I feel like there’s more focus on it looking like a cool game versus being a useful app, It needs more work before I would consider using this in the classroom.

Cumbersome And Boring.

Miles_Dei on

This “game” functions poorly. It’s really difficult to figure out how to operate the app and if you’re an individual, playing for “free” there seems to be a paucity of invitations to play. Even if I paid a subscription price, I doubt the boring, clunky operations would improve.

Love it

Lunax2828 on

A friend of mine recommended the SuperBetter app to me a while ago and it has been a daily tool that I use. SuperBetter offers a wide range of quests that cater to different aspects of personal growth. Whether it's practicing mindfulness, trying a new hobby, or working on communication skills, the app provides a variety of options to choose from. The ability to track my progress and see how far I've come is not only motivating but also helps me stay focused on my goals.

Incredible App!!

rbiemolt on

As a college student seeking ways to stay motivated, focused, and mentally resilient, I stumbled upon SuperBetter, an extraordinary app that has transformed my daily life for the better. SuperBetter turned the concept of self-improvement into a captivating game, allowing me to unlock my potential and become keep me on a better track as a busy college kid.

Terrible. Stinky.

gunnarSmith on

Money scam & doesn’t work. Telling me my account isn’t verified when you need to verify your account to even get into the app. Over priced, cant play solo. Highly recommend you find a better alternative

DON’T SUBSCRIBE!

ChelseyReviews on

This app is awful. I paid $24 and solo quests don’t work at all. Check out the other recent reviews, this app has gone downhill. Don’t waste your money.

What happened?

Elm.exe on

I used to love this app. Now I can’t even figure out how to use it:(

Out with the old…

Wordless on

The developers decided to change the game with a recent update, and scrap all of your progress from the last one. Kind of unusual in the gaming world. This update should have been an entirely new game, allowing long-standing users to keep playing the original and bringing in new ones with this version, maybe call it Super Duper Better. After re adding other reviews and hearing of the subscription, in addition to losing my game, guess it’s time to move on. At least they can’t erase my copy of the book with an update!!!
