Untangle: CBT Companion

Wow, this really is the best CBT app that I've found. I took a CBT class, and this app covers more than the class did. I'm very impressed with the exercises. It's interesting how I need the guided questions to work through my negative beliefs. It's slightly uncomfortable to go through the exercises and reflections, and I wouldn't do them without the app guiding me and requiring me to self-analyze and type my responses. For those who criticize the app for charging for mental health improvement, you need to get your head wrapped around capitalism and the motivation required to create an app of this caliber. No one has created an app like this for free. Accept this fact and pay for the app or move on without it.

Absolutely love this app. I started with the free version (which is still fantastic on its own!) and upgraded to paid within a week, because it was that good and I wanted to support the devs. . I like that I can share my mood entries and exercises with my therapist in a very clear format unlike other CBT apps. The analytics will definitely help me keep up being up to date. The paid version comes with a lot of customization options, but the app is completely usable in its free form. I especially love the stats tab, you can sort by any tag you've used and see how things relate to each other by date, mood, etc.

I am a psychology doctoral student currently learning Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and I really like this app. Three helpful things about the free version of the app 1) it provides accurate psychoeducation about the CBT model and the connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviors. It also provides information about unhelpful thoughts patterns, which have been shown to be associated with a person’s mood and psychopathology 2) it allows users to track their mood daily, which can help them see their progress over time and/or identify patterns in their mood 3) it allows users to challenge negative/unhelpful thoughts by focusing on the evidence for and against these thoughts. This is another practice that has been shown to improve a person’s mood and symptoms of different kinds of psychopathology. Overall, this is a great tool for both clinicians to use with their clients and for individuals interested in learning more about CBT techniques.
