SuperBetter: Mental Health

A great app!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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