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

I was really disappointed to learn that this 'free' app requires a subscription. That's not free in any shape or form. I just want help with my anxiety. With food and gas costs going up so much, I have no money left for supposedly free apps. This app was advertised as free, but once you download it, they tell you that you have to purchase a subscription. Impo that's called false advertising.

The content is quite good, the author/narrators voice soothing and creates the safe space needed. I have used the free trial for the first two weeks and think it's been helpful for calming me down when I need it. I bought the book just because of the high quality of the audios, although I will say it's pretty glitchy and some videos don't even play on my Samsung S7. The download of audios is brilliant and solves the concern of jittery playback when trying to calm down. My only complaint is that there are very few audios for the categories and while they are all very good - I have probably already listened to all of the relevant content for me on the app in the first 2 weeks. While I think it is valuable enough to pay money toward, I am not sure I see how it would be a subscription model that renews annually. It would make more sense to just "buy" the program. There would have to be a significant amount of additional content created in 2021 for me to see how paying $120 total for 2 years would make sense. Daily dare content is not enough in my mind. One recommendation for content addition - insomnia for beginners. I've had it for a week-ish now and the target audio about resolving insomnia talks about "chronic, long-term insomnia". I consider this an acute issue for me at this time and don't feel that the content really fits my situation as much.

Updated: This app has help me work through anxiety, and has helped me when insomnia sneaks up. I do wish that I could still purchase ones I feel would be helpful & not have to subscribe at a monthly fee. I have 2 that I had purchased prior and wish I would have added a few more. This app is a great help, but not everyone can afford to pay $10 a month when they may not need it every month. People who are dealing with any of the issue most likely have many expenses to help them with these issues.

Hi Richelle, thank you for your feedback and we understand your concern. Unfortunately, we don't allow individual purchases of the audios. If you don't want a recurring monthly app payment, you have the option to cancel your existing subscription and re-subscribe again whenever you need to.
