Sinasprite

I really love this app. It makes learning mindfulness so easy and playful rather than scary or serious. The tools that you learn have an immediate impact on my anxiety too - when I feel it bubbling up, I just do a mandala meditation for a few minutes and can feel the tension dissipating in my body. Socks keeps the journey so friendly and approachable I feel like I have a buddy in my journey :) It almost seems too simple/fast/easy to be effective but I can FEEL the difference so I know it’s working. It’s so nice to have a tool for the moments when you’re on your own and need to recenter.

There isn’t any free trial to preview the app. I downloaded it when a friend I trust who lives in Seattle mentioned meeting the app developer, who offered a good description of the intended function and had me intrigued. I’m a mental health professional and recommended it to a mental health client to try. I regret doing so, because the client informed me after paying a subscription fee that they need to be linked to a clinician through the app for it to work properly. Im a clinician but have no way to link to clients and I’m not sure I would want to anyway- I monitor clients progress through sessions, and don’t know about HIPAA compliance of this app or having to access an app for between-session data. The app appears to be in more of a development stage than ready for market. I’ll stick to what I know such as Calm, HeadSpace, etc. disappointed.

This has been An amazing app. It’s been nice to use to help with my anxiety my only complaint is that, even though I have my sound on, I don’t hear anything from the app. I don’t know why this is. I’ve gotten a new phone but the problem persists. Love the app regardless but would enjoy it more with the calming sounds.

I’ve literally never even left a review for an app before so that should tell you how much I love this app. Anxiety is a biiiiig struggle for me and journaling on my own seems overwhelming. This app gives you stations, which makes it easy to organize your thoughts and slowly work through working out stress and anxiety. It’s like just one small step at a time, bite sized and easy to think through and then move onto the next step. The music is so cute and calming. Also having the animated fox, Socks, walk you through each station is like having a little comforting pet by your side while you do it. I love love love it! It says more stations coming soon and I’m so excited.

I’ve always been a little restless and hard for me to relax. This app has really helped me with that and I’ve only just started to use it. Love it!

This app is so much fun to play, it’s more like a game than anything. When I’m done playing I feel so much relief from my stress and anxiety. It’s very interactive with a super cute character that makes it super easy to top of my mental health!

I've been digging into the Sinisprite tool and I'm blown away by the interface and design. Awesome tool.

As relaxing as Animal Crossing is, this app uses actual mental health approaches to reduce anxiety. I’ve recommended it to my breast cancer patients for years (and it even helps this busy brained physician!)

The app is a solid tool for anyone who is working to make their mental health a priority and for those who are going through some kind of struggle. It serves as a reminder to breathe, to let go of things that are out of our control, to check in with ourselves...many things that are easy to forget when life gets stressful, but that are absolutely vital when life gets stressful. I give 5 stars for material, 3 stars for the app/ease of use. The parts that are accessible are pretty good, but the app itself is a little cumbersome to use. Not being able to play the Gratitude Game without jointing a current group or making a new group is a bummer. I’d also like to see the Butterfly Walk have more options/possibilities.

This is a great and innovative way to improve mental health. It is effective in regaining focus, helping with meditation and relaxation. What’s best is it is intuitive, easy to use and accessible any time I want.
