GBThe computer crashes 9 times out of 10 The computer crashes 9 times out of 10, and causes a lot of frustration to our kids by not working properly. It seems very cheaply made. The charger for the armband also doesn't work reliably (even though we've been sent a replacement, that one doesn't work well either).

GBTechnology seems cool, but just a clunky games tablet Tablet and parent portal are both difficult and frustrating to use. Game instructions are unclear, and games are often frustrating to play. After several weeks my child has only been playing games and not gotten any skills or feedback about how to use her heart rate lowering practice in real life.

GBMightier would be better if it weren't a video game experience MIghtier is a video game interface. My child's emotional regulation - as many studies are proving today - is made worse by video games and screens. 2 days using this app and he was getting up early demanding to play the games using this app. I was shocked to see this is how they chose to execute what seems to be a great concept - ie using Sports video games vs a less addicting and more "soothing" content even when trying to elicit a HR response. Not for us, we binned it as it made tantrums worse (at least in initial use)

GBWe love Mightier! We love Mightier! My 7 year old son struggles with impulse control and his anger. I can definitely see a difference in his response when he is frustrated or mad. We have taught him for years to try and breath through his anger but he would always get more mad in the moment when we told him that. After he started playing Mightier it finally clicked, I saw him using breath to calm himself without cues from us.

LUOur 6 year old son LOVES Mightier Our 6 year old son LOVES Mightier; always asks to play it. And we have noticed a real difference in his ability to self-regulate through the game.
