Thought Diary Pro

Have tried many apps and found this is the best CBT diary that’s closest to worksheets I used in therapy. I wanted a true thought challenging diary that is not complicated by other things and is simple.

I’ve been using this app for years and I find it helpful but: - It doesn’t tell the year the thought was logged - it doesn’t save drafts, so you have to do the whole exercise in one sitting without anyone calling you etc - very frustrating

Does what I was advised

This is a simple app, probably not worth £4.99. However, it works well and fits nicely with anyone who is currently working through CBT. My only criticism, you should be able to include multiple “thinking errors” as you’ll probably experience many emotions/moods which may align to many thought errors.

It's way too expensive for what it does. It's just a way to log your thoughts, literally just answering a few questions. I don't really understand the price to be honest.

I am really pleased with this app. I have been using it for about a year now and I find it really helps. It makes me take time to think about things and has in occasions definitely helped the situation.

A really great app. Will definitely be recommending it to my CBT therapist.

I was having huge difficulty doing thought records on paper, to the extent that I basically never got round to doing them. Not anymore!!! The app is brilliant - it sets out everything very clearly and because it's on my phone I can use it whenever and no one ever notices - this was not the case when I was using a pen and paper.

Can't believe how useful this app is! It's a great easy way to track thoughts and turn negative ones into positive ones. The great thing about using this app to track thoughts instead of using pen and paper is that you can log your thought there and then in the situation you are in without anyone knowing what you are doing! I will certainly be recommending this app to my non profit london based social anxiety group (thebeatingsocialanxietytogethergroup.co.uk) I think this app will help me and many other people. Thanks and well done for creating such a cool useful app!

I use this app all the time as its quick to use and has all the necessary categories of options. I love the email interface so that you can transfer to PC. It has also had some great updates since I've started using it. One criticism is that types of distorted thoughts appear to be a bit muddled and poorly explained.
