Has anyone ever used apps to train your brain? Or have you ever thought about using apps?
There's an interesting article about the Top Ten app that can be used to help train the brain.
I'm interested in what your thoughts are about using technology to train to the brain. Are you into it or not, and why?

I do like using apps to train my brain, but I use them to centre myself. I use pop task based games like Townville when I'm feeling helpless and I use cognitive games when I want to challenge the anxiety or when I am waiting for the adrenaline to leave my system. As for anxiety apps I have tried breathe but my anxiety rises the more I try to keep still.

Been toying with an app called 'unstuck', it's like a worksheet for those times when you're stuck, and you can go on and then make a plan.
https://www.unstuck.com/
I've given 'unstuck' up, as I've become unsure about whether it's evidence-based, and the first step is 'choose an emotion you're feeling', but the emotions I get stuck on aren't there. I wrote to them to ask if they were going to add more, maybe even allow you to dismiss ones that you're not feeling so they could have a broader emotional palette to choose from, and I got back that they're not considering developing the app further at this point. Very disappointed.
