Stress Tips iPhone App Review

Stress Tips Anxiety UK

Anxiety UK recently released a free iPhone app called ‘Stress Tips‘ (sponsored by Pfizer life). It’s a simple app with some good advice delivered through short audio messages which you can listen to by pressing the prominent on-screen ‘panic button’. The app has an occasional ‘donate now’ pop-up, and a helpful list of organisations to call if you are needing urgent help. The latter is accessed via a button on the main screen, and includes shortcuts to call NHS Direct, Samaritans, Anxiety UK helpline.

The simplicity of this app appeals to me, although once you have listened to all of the recordings there’s not much more to explore. There is a nice collection of short personal audio messages by a diverse range of people – the quality is perfectly adequate but most of them sound like they were recorded off voicemail!

Stress tips (audio examples):

  • relaxation
  • exercise (eg walking)
  • meditation (eg mindfulness)
  • reading
  • distraction
  • knitting

It’s important to remember that everyone has there own preferred way of effectively dealing with stress.
