Virtual Hope Box

I really enjoy this app. I highly recommend it for any (like me) who struggles to cope with anxiety. I've been using it for about a week. The "distract me" portion of the app really comes in handy with it's mini-games. My favorite currently is Majong, however, sometimes after completing a difficult level, the page doesn't refresh to move on to the next level. When this happens, I need to manually refresh the app and subsequently lose the progress on a level I had spent sometimes well over 30 minutes on. This seems to be the main downside that I have found within the app. Please fix soon. To have such a relaxing experience and immediately be put on edge again from losing progress is really upsetting. I often need to quit the app and won't come back for hours/days because of it. Hopefully this helps the developers and anyone looking to manage their anxiety. Great app, small bugs, but that's to be expected. I highly recommend this app, nonetheless.

I can add files to the remind me tab, but literally cannot access them. There is no where that I can select to even see them, but it says that files were successfully added. This seems like a good app, but this important feature needs to be fixed (I see from comments I'm not the only one having issues with this part). It could be user error, but since I've looked everwhere,it's either poor layout or glitching. (All updates done)

Was brilliant when it worked. More recently when I have tried to enter the app I cannot get past the password screen. The password can be entered but none of the unlock, fingerprint or forgot password things work. Uninstaller and redownloaded to see if it would work but now I can't even get past the EULA because it won't respond to tapping either agree or disagree. Please change this as soon as you can. It seems that lots of people rely on this app.

this app has been really helpful to distract from the downward spiral of negative thinking. I highly recommend it. the only drawback is having a password to get into the app. there is a recovery process if you forget through establishing questions and answers. But if you forgot those, you are locked out and have to reinstall the app losing your saved stuff. not really sure why there is a password feature. seems counter productive when you are down enough as it is and trying to get yourself better

Exceptional app for stress management. I am a mental health therapist in a busy primary care clinic, and this app is one of the best I've seen in years! Easy to use, excellent topics (relax, distract, cope, inspire) and activities that can be individualized for each client. Well done!

App used to be great and helped a lot but now I can't even get to the main menu cause the login screen is completely useless. All it will let me do is enter my password but the unlock button doesn't work nor does the unlock via fingerprint or forgot password. I'd really like to not have to delete & re-download cause I have a lot of stuff on it but it seems even that doesn't help. Hopefully this gets fixed soon cause this app was really helpful when it worked.

This is an excellent app for folks in DBT. It has a lot of great mindfulness functions in it. The guided meditation is very handy especially for folks with disabilities that might have difficulty finding those sort of videos on YouTube. I only gave it 3 stars because it's requirement to input a password every single time you open the app is a HUGE impediment to folks with disabilities and people in DBT with severe anger management issues. There is no reason for this as far as I can tell.

Like other reviews have said, there is some sort of bug that prevents me from being able to accept (or even decline) Software End User License Agreement. I can't find any way past this first page which is really sad because I think it would be really helpful due me. Please fix this bug!

My therapist told me about this app a few months ago. I like it, it helps calm my mind. But recently the app hasn't been working. I cannot login with my password. I put it in and click the accept but nothing happens. I tried updating it, uninstall and reinstall but that accept option does not go through. Like it's stuck or something. Please fix this issue, I enjoy this app and would still like to use it!

This app is great when it works, but there always seems to be an issue. Often times I can't get past the login screen - I enter my password, hit the login button, and nothing happens. It seems like no one is actively working on fixing it updating the app.

I like this app. I like the coping skills cards. I like the way you have set them first, problem areas, second, emotions/ symptoms, then third, coping skills. I haven't used this app very long but refer to it every day. It needs more breathing exercises for meditation skills. Breathing meditation helps me to cope in serious situations. Like in Yoga, or some forms of Tai Chai. It opens your hearing to the other sounds around and outside of you. J.M.

I love the tools here and that you can input custom coping activities and people to call upon. This can save lives. But upon 1 day of use, it crashed 2-3 times. The widgets for inspiring motivational quotes need more colors and font customizations. Please make it more stable for Galaxy Note 8. Thank you

Downloaded and deleted that quick. The App required access to my photos, media, files, contacts, pictures, videos, calendar and more just to function. Why in the world would any thinking American give DoD that much access to your personal life? If you have the app delete it, if you don't have the app, don't get it.

Great idea. Poor execution. Unable to sign in. Changed password 6 times. Even tried reloading the app and that didn't work.

I find this app very useful for safety planning and distress planning. I recommend it to all of my patients. However I have not been able to add any of my pictures from Google cloud.

Adding photos from library to use with photo puzzle keeps crashing the app. None of the typical expectations are present such as loaded photos from my library in a group on the app.

Love this app! Works perfect. Quotes are awesome. Wish I could get new games, I played them all. Can they be reset?

Licence Agreement issue: I have dim-screen app Twilight, when I pause it, I am able to tap 'accept' and the app works normally. This counts as a known issue of Twilight, not VHB app. Only dark, grey buttons on dark, grey screens have this issue. Further review to come.

Damn. I really wanted to like this but. I'd rather die then waste it here. Good thing my extreme suicidal side has mellowed out. Very Disappointing 😔

I had to reinstall the app when I got a new phone, and I can't seem to add YouTube videos 😔 When I search for videos through the app nothing shows up. Any known fic? Otherwise I really like this app.

Before the update it sometimes would not accept my pin to let me into the app. This last update, I cannot even accept the license agreement. The app is great... the 5% of the time it used to work.

I can't log in, it's not letting me submit my password. It worked fine until I was locked out, but not being able to access it at all or turn off the lock is a non-starter.

My therapist recommend this app. She wrote down a few of them on a sticky note, and this one I liked best. I like how i can put Coping Skill cards in for situations and feelings.

Have not fully explored, however do not care for color scheme. It is too bold. Not forgiving, which is the manner in which we should treat ourselves. I prefer Oprah's 35 Positive Affirmations, my own quote jar, my Anglican prayer beads, bird songs/waterfalls/thunderstorms on our Amazon dots, Amazon Prime's yoga, Insight Timer, exercise, recovery meetings, cooking...all these and more pulled me out of my last episode of BPD with minimal Klonopin. Give it a whirl. I did not care for it.

Quite a few comments around not being able to get past the License Agreement - which is the same for me?? Please help - have heard good things about this App but can't use/ enjoy it?

This app is great,ive been to prison and there are a few things i would do to help my own mental health are in here. Always room for improvement.

It's great just with the picture puzzle how to you change the picture again? The change picture button just changes the way it's put. Please help me

I love this app, but my word find stops working, I need help fixing this. Everything works fines, it's the word find I am having problems with.
