100% recommend although I’ll say I don’t use it as often as Breethe because once I figured out that you can’t move past a certain level without doing various homework exercises I didn’t have time right then. I like and don’t like it about it lol! Once I get these done I look forward to […]

Mostly junk, with some helpful info. While some of the ideas are “science based”, it’s not like the exercises themselves have had significant clinical trials (for example somatic tracking). The format of chatting with an assistant where they decide your daily exercise is highly annoying. Just organize the content like a normal app, I legitimately […]

Wanted to love it; paid version seems to be nothing more than the regular app. I did the first ten or so free exercises and was like great, love it, not sure exactly how this works exactly but it kept promising all would be revealed with the paid version so I bit the bullet and […]

This app is immediately life changing. I’ve experienced several capital T traumatic events in my life. I’ve locked them in a fortified safe at the bottom of the ocean abyss. I thought that was the end of it. I’ve come to learn that there’s a chain holding me to that box, drowning me in unconscious […]

just starting out so I can’t give a 5 starting review..so far this is great. Update: changed to 3 srara..the contents is very good. Here’s what I’d change but Curable support is lacking. Several complaints came in from other members who would like options for other voices in meditation and I general. You get a […]

I love with CPTSD and chronic pain and this has become one of my go-to resources. I love the range of exercises, and being a science nerd, the knowledge is invaluable. If I can talk my way through the biology of stress, it helps me so much more in managing my symptoms. Curable’s video series […]

I am sorry, I cannot deal with the voice for the meditations. There should be an option to choose another voice. It sounds like she is trying to seduce me, and having problems in that area it is freaking me out. I can’t even do them anymore, I have to use Insight Timer. I am […]

I just downloaded the app, was guided through set-up, listened to the intro, and then was asked to commit to subscribe without seeing price or subscription options upfront. Why would I get a 50% off code in my email but no idea of price or plan? Really poor first impression with the lack of transparency, […]

This app has helped reduce the pain of my migraines, so I’m very grateful. However, they refuse to make all of the transcripts available to their exercises, so they’re not accessible. It’s really disappointing to see this kind of blatant ableist discrimination in an otherwise helpful app. EDIT: A word-for-word transcript is 1000x better than […]

I have a paid year long subscription. It was expensive for me and unfortunately I won’t be able to renew. I have tried to use this app and have had mild success lowering pain levels during a migraine. However, the meditation portion is disappointing. After a long period of silence (no music) the woman starts […]

Beware! They claim to “offer” a refund if you cancel within 30 days. So, I naively opted to give it a try but it wasn’t for me. I canceled w/i 30 day and didn’t receive a refund. When I attempted to follow-up was directed to submit a request that would be followed up, if they […]

I’ve only just started using curable and I really like it! It’s easy to navigate and gives me the direction I was searching for. People tell you to meditate, but this actually helps direct that. People tell you to search out therapy and guidance, but here it’s easy to find. The app finds the resources […]

Content is useful, tho app itself is very buggy, a data hog, and crashes continually when trying to listen to audio. In 48 hrs it devoured over 2 gigabytes of data, (mostly foreground data) tho it was only in use for less than an hr. Problem definitely with app,not with my device. Also don’t like […]

I have a long history of Repetitive Stress Injury, and this app seems to be helping. I found it compelling enough to go ahead and pay for the first year. Only thing: can y’all re-record the audio for the meditations, or offer options? The speaker sounds like she’s narrating an ASMR session. I really believe […]

Good info on pain science; nice selection of exercises. A quick-search option to find favorite exercises would help. My last point is very subjective & YMMV: I find the speaker’s voice distractingly uneven. I’d hoped this would ease as with past audio programs, once I’ve gotten used to a speaker. But it hasn’t. This app […]

Content is good, I’ve paid for lifetime membership, however it crashes a lot. Very frustrating to be listening to “expert interviews”and have it cut out. Then, rather than getting back to the same place, it starts at beginning or crashes. Also going back a bit or forward in audios is not easy. When listening on […]

I’ve traveled a long way in 65 yrs along many paths in terms of pain (physical & otherwise). I’m already familiar with many approaches/tools. Yet I’m finding Curable very helpful. Partly it’s being reminded of essential practices that are endlessly beneficial. It’s like the discipline of a dancer, you don’t get to a point of […]

Great Program to Help You Help Yourself. There are lots of tools but I wish I could see them and choose for myself instead of choosing “education, writing, brain training, etc” and then the app chooses which in that category to give me. There is probably a reason for this route, just haven’t discovered it […]

My pain dr recommended this app and I’m looking forward to continuing with it, but could there be a more unnessecary, penetrating sound effect to emphasize key points in the audio lessons? They’re a little louder than the narration and are like a bell ringing inside my already headachy brain. But pain is in the […]

I got this app to help recover with chronic migraine. I’ve seen improvements and the app is super helpful. I’m just very disappointed that when you upgrade to be able to take the classes that you’re actually very limited in how much you can do with the classes. If you work or are a parent […]
