I’m recovering from PTSD but still have panic attacks from time to time. I’ve been using this app for a few days to help with those panic attacks. It worked from the first day so I recommended it to some friends and clients. One said it helped with OCD symptoms. Another has rage issues and is using it to calm them down so they don’t snap at people when stressed.Simple to use. Go through the instructions when calm not when panicking and you’ll be good. People leaving negative reviews obviously tried working out the app during a panic attack. That’s not going to work. Get the app. Try all the functions when calm. Then it’s a tool you always have access to, to calm you down and help you feel safe.It’s great that it charts your progress. There’s also way more training in the paid version, for addressing stress longer term, but the free version is great for calming panic attacks. Suggested features...It would be good to be able to make a personal note of what caused the panic attack inside the app for personal reference.Also, I think I saw another app that let you post stickers of your mood every day which would be cool for monitoring progress. Another thing is that if your screen locks when you’re meditating, the audio cuts out. It would be great if that didn’t happen. It would be cool to have more meditation sounds too. Maybe a river and a log fire? Those are minor points on suggested updates though. Over all, this is an amazing app. Definitely try it.
Developer ResponseThank you very much for your feedback, RB. We take all feedback very seriously and love the idea fo the river and log fire sounds <3 We definitely agree that it's best to go through the Rootd lessons and tools at first calmly to already know how to use it when one is in a state of panic. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope it helps others thinking about exploring the app.
Just downloaded the app in the last couple of days and went straight through the lessons and found them really helpful by just simplifying what I already knew about anxiety 😊Tried the red button to see what it was like in each of the buttons and more for high anxiety moments but the information still helps the same 😊only suggestion so far is it would be good to have option for the sound to auto play rather then having to press next and then the sound too, but apart from that interested to explore the app more! Thank you!
Developer ResponseThank you for the review and suggestions! We’re so glad you found Rootd. We just released a new update that adds sound to the deep breathing Breathr so sound is on the mind and we are continuously working on new updates.
I got this app only yesterday but I have realised it could use some few things to tweak. I love how they is a panic attack button no matter what ur doing and it gives u clear instructions for what to do. I also enjoy the learning sessions which help me to understand more about it so it’s not confusing. However I think that they should be more options for some parts such as the night time eras since I do not want to pay I think they should be some more options but thank u for making this app it is great and is helping me so far

I’m a child that suffers a lot with anxiety and Rootd has different sections that can help u through so much like it did for me! It has a daily journal so u can write down something that’s weighing u down and things you’ve accomplished big or small and also any additional notes. A section that gives you breathing exercises. It even has a section that reads you positive affirmations to get you through things like anxiety attacks general stress and alot more!! This app saved me so much. Thank you rootd!

This app is amazing for people who suffer from panic attacks. There’s lots out there for anxiety but not so much on panic attacks/disorder itself. I found it helpful for both when I was calm- to learn lessons- and when I was panicking-to calm me down. Although I’ve had anxiety for years; I’ve been suffering from panic disorder for around 2 months now. The two are very different! This app helped me when I was really struggling to cope. It gave me hope and helped me understand what was happening to me. Now I’m becoming myself again with the help of the NHS and this app. Well done and best wishes 😋
Developer ResponseHI there!Thank you for this lovely review! So happy you were able to find Rootd and that it is helping. We also agree that anxiety and panic disorder are different, and are so happy you are feeling more yourself again. All the best to you as you go through this <3Feel free to reach out to us at any time at team@rootd.io
I had a great experience with the app. But at first I was a bit apprehensive about using it; because I thought it was just going to be information. But it wasn’t; the only thing I would say is too add a different tool action for the red button, as I wasn’t feeling good with my anxiety I kept overthinking everything; not having a panic attack. But the final page says “well done for getting over your panic attack”. But it’s very nice and thoughtful to create a app and maybe all features should be free for a period of time say 1month then people could subscribe after the free trial period.
Developer ResponseThank you for your review. We've continued adding a lot of features - including a deep breathing exercise, guided visualization, and just last month a brand new anxiety journal. Access to the core features of all of these is 100% free. We'd love if you could give them a try and let us know what you think. Please email team@rootd.io and we'd be happy to help make sure you are able to access this new content.
This is a really lovely, helpful, compassionate app. I used it during a life crisis which caused an acute anxiety episode lasting three or four weeks. This app was part of my coping strategies. I’d also like to add that the customer help and support people were pretty amazing and helped me sort out logins and payments after I’d made a mistake with it all. I recommend this app. Even the free content is helpful. Although I chose to go ahead and subscribe to get the full benefit. Thank you Rootd

Totally recommend ❤️

I rarely write reviews, but this app has honestly helped me so much , i found my anxiety and panic getting worse and worse, that it was interfering with everyday life, it helped me learn more about my anxiety and help me feel less alone in this struggle as people who don't have it will never know exactly how it feels to live with this. Not only this the red button really helps to calm me down and remember the basics. Thank you rootd!

This is a great app which I highly recommend to anyone suffering with panic attacks and GAD. It offers invaluable information about anxiety, guided meditations, breathing exercises and sleep aids, and has an emergency panic attack button to help you through the attack, even with a comforting back up option of calling an emergency contact. It makes me feel powerful, like I can and will overcome anxiety. Can’t recommend enough.
