The Self Compassion App 12+

Update
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate the problems regarding synchronisation and did unlock the course and tools, which was very helpful for reading on a tablet. I have not been able to find a quarterly payment plan for this app when searching within Subscriptions. A quarterly plan would be very helpful.

I love the content of the app. Have read books about a compassionate mindset and this app really helps to develop self compassion and a compassionate mind. It would be nice though to synchronise the content between devices. While it is great to have the app on the phone, I cannot read the content of the course well and switch to my tablet. But because of lack of synchronisation, the course is at a different levels on the two devices. The other point is the payment. I understand that £50 is a reasonable amount for such good content, on the level of a therapy session if you are lucky, but it is still a lot of money to pay in one go for some. It would be nice to have a choice of monthly payments.

Hi there! Thanks for taking time to leave us a review - I am glad you're enjoying the app. Unfortunately, yes due to security and privacy reasons, the data does not sync across devices. I'm sorry about this and any inconvenience this may cause for you! The best way around this is by unlocking the tools and course sessions in the settings, allowing you to dive into whichever practice you would like on either device at any point. Additionally, we do have the option to listen which might help you with the wisdoms, so that you don't need to rely on reading them on your phone screen? Thanks for your feedback about price too - we have found people generally prefer the yearly (unfortunately we don't have a monthly or quarterly option) price point, but understand this can be a lot to pay. Therefore, we do give away 10% of our subscriptions away for free, to those who cannot afford it - please feel free to email us at feedback@psyt.co.uk to find out more.

Thank you, Chris & Elaine for developing this amazing app. It’s a great standalone app for understanding yourself better and how to be more compassionate with yourself and others. As a therapist, this app really helps me to ‘practice what I preach’ in my daily work and I am noticing the benefits to myself in my personal life. The clients I have recommended this app to are reporting they are finding it enormously helpful and easy to engage with on a daily basis. It is a great resource for therapists to refer their clients to, with tangible benefits to their progress in therapy. I am also finding that for those who like the app but fancy a deeper dive into some of the modules, the developers’ ‘Compassionate Mind Workbook’ is a great complementary resource that can be used alongside the app, with the app providing the relevant guided practices that the workbook refers to. I have also recommended the app to a number of close friends and family members and planning to ‘gift’ it to to one or two people for Christmas - the ultimate gift that keeps on giving!

Hi there. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really lovely review. We are so glad to hear you have been enjoying the app and are incredibly grateful for your recommendations!

This app is unbelievably helpful and a wonderful resource for everyone! What I love about it most is that it greets you personally at different times of the day when you go online and you can use the ‘quick tools’ section to ground yourself/ do some ‘calming breathing’ and ‘express yourself’ in your own journaling space (where you can note down and reflect upon how you are feeling/ how your day is going/ what you are grateful for/ your personal insights and compassionate intentions). It is incredibly well designed, thought through and especially encouraging, as if you had your very own compassion coach by your side. Your commitment is even praised with a daily running ‘streak’ count! And as a result helps you form healthy and consistent compassionate habits. The quote from Pema Chodron is perfect too regarding the importance of self-kindness whilst cultivating compassion for oneself and for others. In a nutshell, this app is nothing short of amazing! Definitely one for keeps!

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review and for sharing such lovely, positive words! The team and I are so glad to hear that you have been enjoying your experience with the app and that you've been finding it so helpful! We truly hope you continue to find it helpful as you progress further through the course and develop your compassionate self!
