Read what our users say: “Took a chance with this app, and I’m so glad I did! It’s honestly amazing and the best anxiety app I’ve tried. The ‘Evening Wind Down’ is the absolute best, and I love how the app has so many different tools and meditations! Highly recommend DARE!” - StacyS
“This is one of the only apps I’ve continued to pay premium for. It’s truly helped me come off that ledge of anxiety and learn new coping mechanisms that therapy hadn’t even taught me. I love this app, and I love the people that run it. Thank you for what you do.” - Aschom
“20 years of fighting anxiety on my own, not knowing what’s going on with me… until I got this app. It’s changed the way I fight this THING forever. Thank you for all the work you do.” - Glitchb1
“DARE is a lifesaver. I recently started using it, but it’s already helped me more than my therapist. The advice and the DARE response are great, but for me, the best are the deep relief and insomnia recordings—they help me go to sleep.” - MartinB
“I was sceptical of the claim that within 3 days you’d see improvements, but I have an incredible set of tools. I can’t imagine not having this app now.” - RebeccaM

March 2023 I joined the Dare app and bought the book , I worked through the book daily I did some of the app work but not has I should I think I didn’t want to deal with it back then. I paid again the renewal March 2024 I decided I had to get my life back after 24 years of anxiety and not living my life . I’ve been listening to the Dare app daily I never miss . I’ve challenged myself to do stuff regardless of how I feel and it’s working I’ve been to a concert in March yes I was anxious but I took it with me and sat with it . I went to another show in April , I’ve booked our first holiday abroad in July and I will be going regardless of my anxiety . I’m learning to accept the feeling and do stuff . I’m learning so much . I love the book it’s a great story and explains about anxiety and how you make it your friend the character drawing are great . It made me actually laugh plus the challenges of the work book are fantastic I recommend this Dare app and work book wish I had done it sooner .

This is helping me through a very challenging time in my life

I have totally lost all confidence in myself, and feel like I’m unable to function at even the basic level due to work stress and feeling so lost in my career, which is massively impacted my life. This book helped me cope better with stress, and the app has been a wonderful extension to it. But it’s also been more than that: at my lowest points I’ve been able to return to the app for comfort, helping me through the lowest feelings I’ve ever experienced in my life. I am eternally grateful for this app and everything it’s done for me. Even after I manage to escape this job that has brought me down, I know life will throw more challenges at me. At which point, I can return to this app for more support. Please do try this app if you’re struggling. It helps you realise you’re not struggling alone, which is the biggest help you could ask for.

What would I do without you!

Sat at home, in my 2nd month of absence from work and researching anything and everything to ‘cure’ my panic attacks. Not much was appealing to me, I was after a quick fix (which I now know doesn’t exist) and the DARE response kept popping up. I read the reviews and read Barry’s story. It was in that moment that I realised I wasn’t alone. Hearing that someone else also felt helpless and scared in the same way that I did gave me a sense of relief. It sounds awful that someone else’s misfortune made me feel better but I realised I wasn’t the only person in the world feeling this way. I’ve been silently battling anxiety for years but until my dad fell poorly last February I never owned it. Majority of my adult life has consisted of copying mechanisms and denial. Eventually though those things stop working. The DARE response has helped me accept my anxiety and panic attacks, face them and work through them. Thank you Barry!

DARE has helped immensely in my journey to recovery

I am definitely in no way fully recovered yet, and I only started using this app less than a month ago, but it’s already come to SO much use for me. It’s taken me further down the recovery path than I have been able to achieve for myself over the last 7 months or so. My problem has always been giving up after a setback and in this journey with DARE, I have already had SO many but still been able to persist with hope and encouragement. One of the most helpful features on the app for me is the SOS button for when your mind is racing, or you’re having a panic attack, or you just feel like giving up. This has really really helped me persevere through this journey, even through the harder times. Definitely recommend the full subscription for all the benefits, though. It’s worth it.
