So nice that it's free, add free, and is very easy to navigate, even for someone like me who is not tech savvy at all. My favorite thing is that it can track your progress (or lack thereof) and it tracks what tools help and what tools don't. It has been a huge part of my recovery from C-PTSD. I'm so thankful my therapist told me about it.

can't even hear any sound for doing the ambient sounds. can't add any music to the app even though I have YouTube. haven't tried to download onto the app any of my photos almost feel that it won't even do that
