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)

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).

GBReturn policy and guidelines were… Return policy and guidelines were unclear. The only follow emails I recall seeing were those asking for positive reviews. If progress emails were sent (with zero data because, as other reviews have mentioned, the games we archaic and not user friendly) why would the company keep charging the recurring payments? I mean, there's a deliberate connection to the internet and usage, or lack thereof, could be seen. Tonight I discovered 3 $40 monthly recurring charges (and another about to be charged) for something that sits in a box. I question that this company has a family's well-being truly in mind.

GBGreat customer service Great customer service! The biofeedback has definitely helped our two children (8 & 12). We frequently see them pause now, when frustrated or stressed, take a deep breath and then de-escalate. This has been very helpful for reinforcing cognitive behaviors they have been coached to do to minimize outbursts, catch impulses and lower anxiety. Highly recommend. Full disclosure: Prior to Mightier neither of our children played any video games, and they think these games are very fun. Perhaps children with more exposure to video games might find them less appealing, but our kids love the selection and have not gotten bored.

AULess meltdowns and more joy We used mightier with our 9 year old, and it has made a big difference to self regulation. Her outbursts/meltdowns aren't as long or as intense now, as she has had practice breathing through it during play with mightier. Highly recommend this! It's bought more joy to our house!
