GGRO Relationship Doubt (ROCD)
GG RO: Relationship Doubt & Obsession is the first of a series of apps we're launching on a new and exciting platform named GG Apps. The app focuses on ROCD
- relationship OCD.
It features:
- 15 free levels to learn, understand and improve.
- 1 free daily training level.
- In total, 45 levels including topics such as doubt, uncertainty, regret and other relationship related statements.
The app has two main types of audiences:1. People who suffer from relationship obsession (ROCD) and would like to improve their condition by training daily.2. People who are in relationships, want to be in a relationship, would like to improve their understanding of relationship related fears, doubts and obsession.
Group 1 will benefit from using the app as a therapy assisting tool. It can provide users with more information about their condition, as well as better understanding of how other people who suffer from similar doubts think and feel. Daily training can benefit by enhancing people's ability to identify and respond to self-talk.
Group 2 can use the app to better understand the various types of relationship related self-talk we all experience daily. By discovery and training, we can all be better at how we analyse and respond to conflicts, situations and thoughts.

According to Associate Professor Guy Doron and his colleague Gur Ilany, the application developed (named ‘GG Relationship’) was especially designed for dealing with relationship doubts and fears. The application is based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- one of the most research-supported psychological therapies.
According to CBT models, negative self-talk – individuals’ ongoing interpretations of the self, others and the world
- maintain psychological difficulties such as obsessive preoccupation, low mood, and maladaptive behaviors.
In ROCD, for instance, individuals negative self-talk often relates to fear of being in the wrong relationships or/and missing the ‘right’ relationship. Individuals with such fears will continuously say to themselves (in their heads) phrases such as ‘Maybe my partner is not the ONE’, ‘He is not smart enough for me’ or ‘I will regret my decision to stay/leave with my partner forever‘.
Such negative self-talk, of course, ultimately increases relationship doubts/fears, intensifies negative mood and often provokes relationship conflict.
GG Relationship' was developed in order to provide an accessible CBT training platform that would allow individuals with relationship fears and doubts to better deal with negative self-talk. The application is designed to (1) increase individuals’ awareness of negative self-talk.(2) train individuals’ to better identify and challenge negative self-talk.(3) increase individuals’ access to neutral and positive self-talk.(4) increase the automaticity of the above processes.
To further strengthen learning of supportive self-talk, each level the player completes is followed by a small memory game in which one has to identify a supportive statements that appeared in the previous level.
Training using this application, will hopefully allow for gradual, steady learning of more positive self-talk thereby helping to break the vicious thought cycle maintaining relationship doubts and preoccupations.

To each their own, and I can only speak for me here. However, I love this app. I find it stimulations in areas, for me, that I haven't experienced yet or at least helps me to identify problem areas in which to manage them. I love that it is available. It makes me feel content in knowing that regardless of how I feel.. there's still some positive type of response for me to read or engage and thayd helpful.
It's not the prettiest app, but functionality and usefulness are great. There are some typos and minor glitches, but if you use it daily it does really improve one's outlook and habits.
As someone still finding resources for OCD/ROCD, this is a very good starting place. It can help boost positive thoughts and discourage negative thoughts and remind you the things that ROCD tries to make you forget: relationships arent meant to be perfection. I hope to see more resources here or on similar apps in the future.
Already love this app after just one 3 level session. I can tell this is going to be just what I'm looking for. Perfectly designed for my situation. I'm going to buy the full app as soon as I can. Already know it. Edit: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ subscription purchased and i can't say ENOUGH GOOD things about this app. It's amazing amazing amazing I think every thing about someone in a relationship that had doubts in any way should get this you will see that everything you ever felt will be addressed.
Simple, easy to use and effective , I had a glitch the first time round where whenever it opened I just a blank green screen, but uninstalling and re downloading it has fixed that.
I have been going through a rough patch and this app has been helpful in refocusing my thoughts on the positive. Great tool to train your positive thinking. Would recommend giving it a go.
I guess it's an ok app/game. Pretty boring. All you do is swipe positive affirmations one way and negative ones the other way. There is no "training" or anything, no advice or tips or anything like that.
This is great for building positive thinking by giving people a choice of either to embrace a statement or to reject a statement if it's negative. It causes one to face the truth about themself and about their relationship with their significant other. Great work and great therapy!
I've definitely seen improvement in managing my thoughts and it's really nice to see an app specifically for rocd. I'm docking a star simply because a $20 pay wall is extreme.
Good for daily affirmations. But could have other features. Maybe more asessment and then show you your progress
Worked for one day and now it doesn't work at all. Every time I click on the app it just turns to a green screen.
Going to buy full version - subtle but effective training! Try it - it works.
I like this app...Its a daily reminder of all the small details in a relationship that make the BIGGEST IMPACT!!!
this app is phenomenal I definitely recommend it. only thing I don't like is how some of the categories are the same thing over and over.
Good.just started and so far I can say it has helped me in my moods and perspective
I've just started using it , but it looks interesting and it downloaded with no prob .
Simple but good for training the mental
I like the phrases that i learn nd grow from.
It is very thought provoking. It is all about cognitive development.
🧿🧿. I Have ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ. Time with this, Application. So much (◕ᴥ◕). So I can. Dream of (≧(ｴ)≦ ). Good Happenings. In This Relationship. As I only. Sleep and wake Single. 🧿🧿.
Best app out there. Trust me I know! I've tried them ALL.
So simple, but still surprisingly effective.
Interesting, thought provoking and thinking......
I didnt get to answer the questions the app didnt accept my answers it just pissed me off more
Helps me grow in good thoughts and push out the negativity.
i have really liked the way this has been put together
It says it can't help an compulsive, What?
I was unsure at first because some of the exercises *could* (potentially, in certain situations) make things more difficult, if the relationship is abusive, for instance. *HOWEVER*, assuming that the person using the app does not have an abusive partner and is aware of their own weaknesses, I have found this app to be helpful. It definitely helps with intrusive, obsessive thoughts that sometimes creep into my head for no reason. And it helps me keep my crazy under wraps, lol
